having been built along the south
wall of the Georgia Avenue lobby.

but will be by the time the club
returns from its first regular
road trip, April 25.
New automatic drinking foun-
tains of the most sanitary type in
which drinking water is cooled IN
copper coils packed with ice, have
been installed in each dugout and
dressing room.
Gallons of green paint have been
consumed in tinting the concrete
balustrades and altogether the
enclosure where the Griffmen are
about to open another campaign
presents a pleasing and effective
landscape.
GrOundkeeper Emil HaiSman
has the infieId and OutfieId
grOOmed to the point where only
nature can finish the job.
Walter johnson took his usual
workout this morning with Catcher
Bill Cam. Dutch Ruether and

SAYS AMERICA IS
 ANXIOUS ID HELP
Gibson Explains U. s. Attitude
 Toward Disarmament

Geneva, May 25 R-Asserting that the United States wished 10 do everything possible 10 promote the movement for the limitation of arm aments, Hugh Gibson, American de- legate, told yesterday the prepara- tory commission on disarmament that his delegation did not wish to present any obstacle 10 a discussion of disarmament problems which might have League Of Nations as- poets.
 Mr. Gibson said that the Amerl- cans, of course, would not be able tc participate in such discussions but would not stand in their way.
 His statement was made in the course of a debate over the dcsir- ability of exercising some sort Of control over the armaments of na- tions participating in the conference, once reductions have been agreed upon. France was in favor Of q reg ular form of control to which Italy however, interposed objections.
 Niscount Cecil, the English dele gate, expressed the opinion that any dispute as 70 whether the disarm- ament accords were being Loyalty carried out normally would come under the eleventh article of the covenant of the League of Nations. This article provides that any dis pute between members of the league is a matter which concerns all mcm- bors and must be brought to the attention of the league council. This brought an objection from one delegate who remarked that

When the officers tried to dispcrsc the mob, fight ensued in which officers claim bricks, stones and rs were used by the college men as weapons.
 Police rushed the milling mass of students and policemen down the street toward the police station and there seven of the leaders were placed in jail. The students sur rounded the jail and demanded re- lease of the men. Chief of Police Hackett of East Lansing finally persuaded tho students to return to East Lansing.

 There has been no indication, however, of any opposition by any member. of the senate or house to the plans of post office and treas ury departments with respect to the New Britain post office, or any in- timation of an attempt to alter the plans of he supervising architect for enlarging the building at cost of $185,000.

seconds. We know at any minute where a car should be, and if it is not there another machine Is soon on the spot to investigate"
 Yet another precaution is taken against a possible conspiracy be- tween the driver or the guards and outside confederates. The armored cars are divided into two compart- ments. The driver sits in the front compartment with both the door to the street and the door to the treas ure compartment locked, while the guards are seated in the rear. Should tn, driver attempt to go off his course, or should he by chance be put out of action, the men in the compartment behind him have an emergency brake by which they can stop the car.
 The Greatest Treasure
 What was probably the greatest single transfer of treasure in the history of the world was accom- plished by the armored car depart .ment of the United States Trucking company. This was in September 1924. when four billion dollars in cash and bullion was moved from the Federal Reserve bank vaults in the Equitable building to the banks new Headquarters in the financial district. the gold and silver alone weighed TOO tons and it took several days 10 move it. The transfer was made without a single untoward in cidnnt,
 The men who make Up the crews of these armored cars would make a romantic story in themselves. In the ranks of one company are two former generals of the Russian i'm perial army, one who came to this country penniless after command- ing a division during the World War Another man served in the Bo"r war. Besides these. there are nine ex-captains. 2t former lieutenantS and eight former scrgeants who saw service in various armies.

ARNORED CARS ARE
 USED IN NEW YORK
Each Guard Bonded for Five
 Million Dollars

New York, May 25 LPl-Gold and silver, enough for the ransom of 6 king, daily rolls through the crowd ed streets of New York, apparently safe from the modern Jesse James.
 Enrious eyes may follow the course of the fifty odd motor fort resses Of steel, which carry sums that Stagger the imagination of the Iayman, but police officials said to- day that not once in the four years that these armored cars have been Tn service here has there been an attempted holdup.
 While a holdup is put down in the realm of the improbable, the guards inside the armored cars ncv- er make trip but that they feel they may be attacked. These men, crack shots, equipped with the latest Tn tircarms-pistols. guns-and even machine guns-are always prepared for cyentuality.
 Ton cars, nearly all of which are owned by one company, are made of heavy armor plate and fitted with bullet proof glass for the wind shields and ominous looking port holes.
 Each IS Bonded
 Unusual care is taken in the seleC- ton of the drivers and guards. Each member of the armorcd force is bonded for $5.000, 900 according to W. H. Huntington, manager of one of the companies.
 This means" he said that the crews of each car is bonded to the extent of S2o,Qo0n0o, no two mer work together two successive days, so that possibility Of an inside job is negligible. Men are admitted 10 the service only after most rigid investigation has been made into their past records"
 Each Of the guards-four are gen. erally assigned 10 a car--has passed the United States army test for pis- tol proficiency and all are kept in steady prictice by target drills in a local armory. In fact, the discipline of these men is very much like that of the army and most of them have seen military duty.
 Right On Edge "Howeyer improbable hOldup may scem," said Mr. Huntington, "our men are taught 10 feel when Ith go on a trip that this is the time they will be put 10 the test, Their pistols have reen carefully examined before they leave, and the armored car has been inspected for even the slightest fault and the cars schedule arranged to a matter of
