LONDON, Jan. 15.-An under"

and the United States regarding
naval operations in the Far East.

the event of hostilities in the

Japan walks out Of the five.power
naval conference.
This was learned today as
Japan debated the manner OF her
predicted withdrawal today or to-
morrow or Friday. 1t was pos
sible the prospect Of an Anglo
American working agreement in
the Far East might result in q
change of Tokyo policy.
This policy, involving a defiant,
adamant demand for naval parity
with Great Britain and the United
States, already has drawn Britain
and the United States more close
ly together, wiping out minor
naval differences which had
existed before.
Although it was not officially
admitted, it was learned William
Phillips, American Undersecretary
Of State, here for the conference
and Anthony Eden, Britain's for
eign minister, had discussed tho
Far Eastern situation in detail.

American interests there and the
naval problems involved have COM
bined to make the Far Eastern
question one of grave Importance.
The Japanese announcement OF
withdrawal from the naval confer
ence was based on the hope that
such a move would force polti.
cal agreement in the Far East be-
tween Japan and Britain.
The opposite result followed.
however, and Japan's course re-
manned less certain, with Britain
and the United States now thrown
into each others arms.
The British government frankly
would like an agreement with the
United States. Aside from their
mutual interests III China, such
an understanding would prevent
an extensive naval race if each
could rely on the others support
in case Of war in the Far East.
Already Britain and the United
States have agreed on relative
fleet strengths based on parity.
Some of these details were worked
out in private talks between Adj

WHITNEY AT HEARING
The State Department data
was placed in the record by
Senator Clark CD Of Missouri,
who went thoroughly into the
intrigues and acknowledgements
maneuvers Of the wartime days
j. P. Morgan, and his partner,
Thomas w. Lamont, were ex'
cused from attendance for the
morning session, but another
Morgan partner. George Whitney,
elected to sit through the hear
ing anyway, listening intently to
Clark.
It was Just about this time, the
spring and summer Of 1915, that
Colonel House had suggested that
the British and Americans agree
ON q course designed to bring a
speedy end to the war. Under
this agreement, which was never
made formally, and which the
British never discussed with the
Germans, the United States was
to throw its weight with the al.
lies in a warning to Germany,
that. unless peace was effected,
this country would join the al
lies.
Colonel House was irritated be
cause the Allies did not seem to
be taking peace moves very
seriously. In his diary on June
%, 1915, he wrote:
81 believe the French and
English are prOlOnging the war
unnecessarily. It is stupid to
refuse our prOffered interven-
ton on the terms 1 proposed
IN Paris anu LOnuOMs
On this same day, House wrote
in his diary:
81 made it clear to both gov.
ernments (the British and
French), that in the event Of
intervention we would not
countenance a peace that did
not bring with it a plan which
would make for permanent
peace.
House Irritated
eff Ger many refused to
acquieSce in such a settlement,
I promised we would take the
part of the allies, and try to
force it.
END OF NAVALISM
at (the peace) would mean
the end of militarism, but it
would also mean an end of
navalism, and tht perhaps is
where the shoe pinches. Great
Britain desires to destroy mill
tariSm and at the same time
perpetuate navaliSm, when the
war has shown that Of the two,
navaliSm might be made the
more oppressive Of the two
branches of military service.
"Under a liberal government,
navalism or militarism might
not be a menace, but under a
reactiOnary government such as
GHeat Britain might have, it
could be made serious menace
to the happiness and freedom

Wolfe, of the HyattSville Wolfes,
and Lorraine GULL, queen of the
local marle-ways, the most valu-
able man and woman duckpinner

The congress couldn't have
made a better choice. If any two
bowlers deserved recognition for
their splendid performances on
the drives they are Wolfe and
GULL.
Record Is Splendid
Wolfe beat out the largest field
ever to roll in a sweepstakes to
win the Ray Won Dreele Sweep
stakes. He shot 949 for the seven
games. He also won the Pop Craw-
ley Sweeps, the Henry Hiser and
the city all-events. He rolled LIT
for nine games to capture the all
events crown.
Wolfe's rolling in league COM
petition was something to write
Aunt Martha about. He was high
average man on the Dixie Pig
team in the Southern Inter-City
League, the country's foremost
major league.
He was also high man in the
Temple Major, the Mt. Rainier
and the HyattSville Leagues. He
was the best bowler on the Arcade
team in the District League.
Joe F'reSchi and Astor Clarke,
of Washington, were given honor

Lorraine's Record Tops
Lorraine was victorious in the

Gull was captain of the Lucky
Strike team which won the United

She was also high average bowler
. in the District and Washington
. Ladies' Leagues. Her averages IN
both circuits were over 116. Miss
CULTS average for the season was
1886 for $50 games.
. Lorraine was given a close de-
. cision over Ida Simmons. the coun-
+ try's No. l ranking woman duck
pinner, who won the Chesapeake
and the GULL Sweepstakes. Lucille
Young, another Washington girl,
was given an honorable mention.
