pions on his play, the prince smilingly
said he had found himself rather
clutching the clubs" at first. He said
he had enjoyed the round greatly, and
the Americans declared later, with en-
phasis, that the prince was first-class
sportsman and a good golfer.
They admired especially the prompt
ness and decisiveness of his play. which
was unmarked by any delay or fussi-
ness.
The prince played with great serious
ness and attention to business, though
occasionally chatting with his COM
panions. He walked swiftly between
shots and employed full and compact
swing and a putting stance reminiscent
of Leo Diegel, with a fine touch around
the green's. He wore a tawny brown
pullover and very full-cut plus four
knickers, unsupported by a belt, al
though he may have worn braces. He
played without hat or cap.

Blow to Disarmament by

LONDON. England, September IL
Every general staff in Europe will draw
! from the German elections fresh con-
| f1dence to resist a reduction of arm
( aments" the Manchester Guardian says
in an editorial yesterday
I'm reality, there is no likelihood of
a change in Germany's foreign policy.
It NAV even be slightly more concilia-
tory than latterly in order to align the
! Socialists with the government. But
It is easy TO argue that the immense
Fascist gains prove that a large number
Of Germans favor an adventurous for
sign policy This is the argument which
viii appeal to all those in every country
who secretly are opposed to disarn1-
ament. while in the open advocating it
as ideal"
See Peril to Democracy.
All the London newspapers stress the
peril to democracy and the parliament
tsry regime of 100000 anti-demo-
cratic votes. They are specially I'M
pressed by the fact that the votes came
from the section of the population
customarily abstaining from voting Inc
reserve citizentry apparently is reVoiu-
tionary rather than conservative the
editorial writers say.
There is a universal conviction that
this is temporary phase of discomfort
and it is heightened by the seeming
importance OF the parliamentary sys-
tenn with innumerahle groupings. Most
of the newspapers express the hope
that the Fascists will sober up with the
new responsibility and that the more
moderate elements will subordinate
their differences in order to give Ger
many a stable parliamentary govern
ment. capable of outstanding attack
by either the Fascists or Communists.
Success in Long Run Predicted.
1t is realized that the immediate fu-
tlre is likely to be different, but there
is confidence that Germany will emerge
successfully in the long run as pow
erful and prosperous nation. The
stock Exchange is inclined to wait and
see.
The News and Chronicle draws les
son for other constitutionally governed
countries in that weak and inefficient
government. when accompanied by Sc
rious economic distress, tends more and
more to send nations into panic and
drives them blindly into extreme and
dangerous courses"

d. c.. Naval Reserve

resident in Washington, but not at
tached to the feet branch, have been
reporting in to the local headquarters
to make arrangements for their physical
examinations. These examinations are
required periodically, but it was said
that many Reserve officers have failed
to comply with the regulations. In the
case of the Fleet Reserve officers 1t was
said that as they are in close touch
with the battalion at all times, their
examinations are made more frequently,
particularly prior to going on the an
nual cruises.
Difficulties in the advancement of
shipkeepers in the lower ratings has
been pointed out by the Navy Depart
ment. The department says that the
present regulations provide that enlisted
men on duty as shipkeepers may be
advanced in accordance with require
ments prescribed for the advancement
Of the men Of the Regular Navy. How
ever little or no difficulty is encountered
in the application of this regulation to
ShipkeeperS in the ratings below petty
off1cer, first class, except to note that
active or training duty at sea Is not
necessarily requisite for advancement.
The department states that when the
matter of petty officers, first class going
up for chief petty officer, acting ap-
pointment, rating, the regular Navy
clause requires at least one years sea
service in the f1rst-clasS rating, being
in this respect entirely different from
the requirements imposed on a first
class petty officer in any other class or
category of reservist. So the depart
ment continues, applying the Navy rule,
such shipkeeper is eligible for ad-
vancement only If and when he has
served a full year on a cruising vessel,
such as the Fox or willamette or an
Eagle. Immediately 1t is impossible for
Q shipkeeper who is a petty oficer,
nrst class, to qualify under the present
regulations on any of the following
assignments: On a non-cruising vessel
such as the Illinois or Wheeling, on a
50-foot motor boat, which the depart
nent comments the fondest stretch of
imagination cannot place in the sea-
going class; ashore at district head
aviation station.
Even II the first-class petty officer in
these latter instances were to arrange
to take 15-day training cruise during
the year he still could not qualify, the
department adds, as the regulation
stipulates one years sea service.
On the other hand, the bureau re-
ports That 1t has many cases to decide
In which men in various pay grades
recommended for advancement have
changed their status from that of ship
keeper to that of being attached to a
fleet division or aviation division, or
vice versa, during the IL months period
Immediately preceding examination. It
was asserted that II the candidate is
actually shipkeeper at the time he is
put up for Advancement the regular
Navy set of rules apply If he has been
a shipkeeper, but is actually in a feet
or aviation status at the time he is put
up for advancement, another set of
rules. those for the Naval Reserve,
apply. Confusion is said TO result in
the attempt TO reconcile discrepancies
between the two systems.

Noted OtelIO Interpreter.
Signor Iannuzzi has sung in many
countries at various times, North and
South America and also on the CONT
nent. Probably the favorite Of all his
roles is Otello, that most exacting of
dramatic tenor roles In one OF Verdi's
greatest masterpieces based upon the
famous Shakespearean play. The tenor
is shown above in costume for this role.
1t is a role that is rarely sung in Amer
lea, as there are few tenors who are
both vocally and dramatically fitted for
its portrayal.
A recent news note from abroad
states that Paul Robson, the remark
able Negro singer, is to sing the role of
the Moor in performance to be given
in London. The date is not announced.
Last Spring one of the final recitals
of the season was program given by
Armando Iannuzzi here. Even then,
suffering from q cold that had turned
into pneumonia and having arisen from
a sick bed to sing on the date set the
Italian tenor showed not only the ade-
quate voice but thorough training in
hA nd doANNfkA
artistry. 1t would be very interesting
to hear Signor Iannuzzi In one Of the
great tenor roles in opera, with setting
and costumeeand In an auditorium that
