period Of 1899 to al 900 bales: wood
pulp, from 1885 to S2,503 tons: iron
and steel rods and bars, from 36,443,-
600 to 73.56S 900 pounds: non-alloy
steel ingots, blooms, billets and
slabs, from 1900 to $4,000 tons;

pounds: steel sheets, from 303 900 to
4.60l 900 pounds, and tinplate, tag
gers tin and terneplate, from $4,000
to 1851 900 pounds. Corresponding
figures for machine tools were $15,-
963, 900 and $l6,988, 900.
The foregoing data make plausible
q Chinese view that the United
States, through Japan's dependence
on American exports, could have
stopped the invasion Of China In its
tracks at any moment during the
last three years, and that 1t is still,
for the time being, in a position to
do so with regard to further adven-
lures, such Is the attack on Indo-
China. 1t Is believed by Government
experts that the trick could be
turned with total embargo on
petroleum and its products. copper,
steel and iron semi manufactures
and machine tools.
1t is pointed out that the United
States possesses an economic
weapon Of even more devastating
strength In the form Of a potential
embargo on Japan's imports to this
country. They totaled $572, ,137 900
for the years 1937-1939 and the first
seven months Of 1910. Until Sep
tember, 1885, they were Japan's
chief source Of foreign exchange;
since then they have been virtually
the only oae.
Extension Of Powers Proposed.
Legal authorities declare that the
President has no peacetime author
ity over imports, though his juris-
diction over exports is already wide
spread. There has been talk in Con-
gress Of extending his powers to
include the former, and Toxic seems
to be taking the possibility with
more than a grain of seriousness.
Japan has pushed the sale of her
wares in this country to such effect
that her imports for the first seven
months of 1910 reached a value of
$40 ,904 900. representing an increase
Of $9,735 900 over the corresponding
period Of 1889. Sales of electric
lamps rose from 36.282 900 to As
800 900, and Of crabmeat, sauce and
paste from 100000 to 9325 900
pounds. There were similar ad-
vances in china, porcelain and
earthen and stone ware. Japan's
basic export, raw silk. fell from
81 ,902 900 to 1882 900 pounds, but
sharp price advances raised the
value from $44,680 900 to $50, ,202 900.
The empires dependence on the
United States for the means of
waging her campaigns has been in
tensified by the war. There has
been a complete stoppage of strate-
gic supplies from Europe. Canada
and Australia Lave embargoed the
export of iron ore and scrap to for
eign nations. The British govern
ment has contracted for 10 per cent

Navy Reserve Pilots
To Stay on Active Roll
p, the Associated Press.

- the ASsOClhteo FIesS.
The Navy acted to keep its flying
arm at topmost strength yesterday
by ordering all Naval and Marine
Corps Reserve pilots to remain on
active duty after expiration of their
four-year voluntary service.
In another order, Secretary Of the
Navy Knox directed that full dress
uniforms and parade equipment be
dispensed with during the present
emergency"
The order to the flyers affects
about $50 Naval Reserve aviators
and 26 Marine pilots.
Hitherto, the Navy and Marine
Corps have trained flyers for ap-
proximately one year. and then
kept them three additional years
on active duty. Officials said the
new order would have the effect Of
keeping all available flyers on duty
indefinitely.
Similarly, the Army announced
this month that reserve officers
serving one years active duty could
legally be retained in uniform, but
said the announcement did not
mean such action would be followed
as . settled policy.
The dress order means that Navy
and Marine officers need possess
only service blue and white uni
forms. 1t will free Navy ofhcers
from the requirement that they
have cooked hats and other full
accoutrements costing about $500.
For enlisted men. white dress uni
forms were discontinued.
The Army similarly proclaimed
recently that officers need not
possess sabers and that in general
stress would be placed henceforth
on service and training rather than
military display.
Dress garb WAS dispensed with
in the World War, officers recalled.

Conscription Quotas
For D. {. and Nearby
States Estimated
y

And l4,420 for Virginia

Draft quotas for the District and
It's neighboring States during the
hrst year Of selective service were
estimated unoficially yesterday as
follows:
Washington, 3,o45.
= Maryland. 1o.ess.
: Virginia, 1920.
These estimates we're based on the
latest census figures for the United
States, the District and the two
States and on official estimates
from the War and Navy Departments
bf men now serving in these sections
IN the Regular Army. the Navy, the
Marine Corps. the National Guard
br some branch of the Reserves.
sThe numbers reported serving in the
4rmed forces were deducted from
the quotas arrived at by population,
An accord with the provisions Of the
9elective service law.
= Quotas to Be Revised Constantly.
Z Indications we're yesterday that
3he oflcial quotas will not be made
public until after registration day,
"wednesday. Estimates then will be
given each State of the number ex-
Pected to be required for the first
fall. The quotas necessarily will be
revised constantly as local boards
make their classification and a
more accurate picture of the number
OF men eligible for immediate serv-
Ice is disclosed.
! The estimated District quota, for
instance, showed a gross figure of
a0,348. computed from the percent
age Of the national population sit
uated here. From this was deduct
ed 1903, the number reported by
the War Department to be serving
In the armed forces.
A similar computation gave Vir-
ginia a gross quota of SO, $40 and,
when the 25,520 now serving was
subtracted, the net Of 14,420.
Maryland has 1912 men in the
armed forces to deduct from a gross
quota Of 23,60l, leaving 10,689 as
an estimated net quota.
Many Not In Estimates.
All these flgres, assuming they
are approximately correct, are sub
ject to revision after registration
day. Many young men from the
District, Maryland and Virginia have
enlisted since the estimates were
compiled, and others are enrolling
daily. A general rush of enlist
ments in the Regular Army followed
the acceptance of one-year enlist
ment in lieu of the usual three
year hitch" a week ago.
All the estimates were based on
q draft army of 100000. which is
expected to be called out the first
year under selective service.
The first call. late this year, prob
ably will ask half that number.
and initial quotas will be proper
tionately smaller.

Penn Much Better Teom
Than 1t Appeared TO Be

Pennsylvania is a much better
team than it appeared to be against
Michigan in spite of Harmon
Wistert, EvasheVski and Westfall
The Red and Blue was loaded with
filters from the start. from the first
muffed punt to the finish. Harmon
had a lot to do with this and it
was tough break for Pennsylvania
that Francis Reagan should have
drawn the worst day he probably
has known in three seasons of high
class play.
Navy has rough sailing on ahead
with Pennsylvania and Notre Dame
making up her next two games.
But Navy will be good enough to
offer either good battle, whereas
Army appears hopeless against
Elmer Laydens squad.
1t is a tough break for Cornell,
as good as any team in the country,
that the Ithacans have such frail
opposition left. Cornell handled
Ohio State with much more deft-
ness than either Minnesota or
Northwestern developed against this
same team. With Columbia, Yale
and Dartmouth on beyond, only the
Penn game can keep the Big Red
warmed up unless Lou Little can
dig up a miracle.
In the last two years the Cornell
attack has piled up A points against
Ohio State and this is answer enough
to those who may not understand
Cornells scoring strength. This
Ithaca unit is one of the best that
football will see in long time.
1t has speed, power, extremely able
eoaching-plus smartness to a high
degree.

now. Genial Gen. Basil Bogoljubov
is not at his accustomed table.
His familiar Lincolnesque features
no longer hover over a checkered
battlefield.
He was taken to the Gallinger
Hospital the other day. At times he
scarcely recalls the name of a visit
ing chess crony. There he lies with
his head pillowed in dreams.
Dreams when he was friend of
Lenin, so he says, when he was a
White ambassador to China, when
he acted as conmissar for Trotsky.
They say the general came to
the United States several years ago.
He was reputed TO have the custody
of quarter of million dollars in
Russian antiques.
Just what he carried around in
the ever present, important looking.
very-much-worn brown portfolio
few people knew. But one day he
described to the writer past Russian
engagements and reached into the
mysterious brief case and brought
forth countless papers. He was writ
ing book, he said; his memoirs.
Will those memoirs be finished?
Will the familiar Van Dyke profile
again be seen lowering over a chess
board? Has the general" at last
encountered an opponent who will
not wait to play a second, a third
game? At Gallinger the battle goes
on. Hats off to one of the most in
teresting chess characters Washing
ton fandom ever has seen. Hats of
and a silent supphcation for the

Golf Crowns Retained
By Only SixClub
Champs Of 80
NordIineer Is Woodmont
Leader for 18th Time;
Two Women Repeot

Only four mems club champions
of 1889 repeated in the title links
tournaments of 1910 for crowns
around the Capital.
Howard Nordlinger, II times
champion of Woodmont Country
Club, led the parade of repeaters,
while Roger Peacock at Indian
Spring; Dick Meyer at Manor and
Ralph Bogart at Army Navy re-
tanned titles won last year.
The case of Bogart is a strange
one. For two years in row Ram
bling Ralph has won the District
championship, licking ranking 81
mon-pures over neutral courses to
prove himself the best of them all.
But Ralph belonged to Indian
Spring last year and this year also
is member of Congressional.
Although he played in the title
tourney at Indian Spring last year
and in the affair at Congressional
this year. the District champ didn't
get to the final in either tourney.
Which indicates that local knowl-
edge of a golf course is valuable
Ralph has won the Army Navy
crown for three years.
Club champions this year are:
Washington, DR.. E. T. Rice; Chevy
Chase, John F. Brawner; Beaver
Dam, Forrest Thompson; Wood
mont, Howard Nordlinger; Con-
gressional, M. Parker Nolan: In
dian Spring, Roger Peacock; Argyle,
Maurice Cooper; Manor, Dick
Meyer; Columbia, Martin F. Nc
Carthy; Capital. George Molloy;
Army Navy, Ralph Bogart; Ken
wood, Don Miller
Repeaters in the women's cham
pionship Journeys were even more
rare than among the men. Only
two-Mrs. David H. Clark at Army
Navy and Mrs. ]. Franklin Gross
at Columbia-were able TO remain
on top again in 1940 Mrs. Myron
Davy, recent winner of the Payne
Cup and 1899 Congressional champ,
did not play in the title tourney
this year.
Here are the 1910 feminine club
champions:
Washington. Mrs. Vida Martin;
Kenwood, Mrs. Richard D. Kreuz-
burg; Congressional, Mrs. F. j.
Godfrey: Manor, Mrs. Walter r.

Lincoln Parkers Hopt
To Get East Sector
Crown Friday
Title Theirs if They
Beat Anocostiu While
Western Downs Tech
BY GEORGE HUBER.

II Eastern can get past Anacostia
this Fridary it practically will be
in so far as the east division crown
in the public high school football
race is concerned, and if at the
same time Western takes care of
Tech-no easy task for the Red
Raiders - Eastern definitely will
be in.
That would present the same set
up schoolboy gridders had last sea-
son. Western VS.. Eastern for the
public high crown. Western won
that one, lat, but the Lincoln
Parkers have other plans this time.
1t was with real satisfaction that
Coach Mike Kelley surveyed East
ern gridders as they worked out yes
terday in preparation for Anacos-
tia. This is the best club we've
had extensively for long time" he
said. Its no one-man ball team.
Every boy in the backfield is a
scoring threat all the time"
Much Stronger This Year.
His contention is borne out by
the record. Since 1887, when the
Lincoln Parkers won their first and
only title with five straight series
victories, they haven't been noted
particularly for power. Last season
Kelley returned to the coaching
wars after layof of several years.
They won the East section title
with weak outfit that gathered
only two interhigh victories and
only three games in all in a nine
game schedule.
In those nine games Eastern
scored only SO points to 81 for OPP
ponents. This season four victories
IN five games already have been
spread on the records and Al points
have been registered while oppo-
nentS have been held to Is. Both
offense and defense are clicking and
promise to continue doing so.
OF the several teams using the
Notre Dame system or notifications
this season-St. Johns and Dewitt,
among others-Eastern has it down
best. The backfield shift works in
rhythm of sweet perfection and
the guards or tackles can pull out
of the line to run interference with
plenty of speed and without tipping
off their intentions.
PIav Marked nv Snead
In fact, speed is the essence of
EaSternS teamwork this season.
Kelley had many of his footballers
out for the track team last spring
the same as Hap Hardell used to do
at Tech-and the result is he has
the speediest eleven in local high
schools. The players aren't particu-
larry heavy, but they work with
lightning precision.
Two of Eastern's star backs. Duke
Coppage and Gilly Eslin-are out
with injuries, but their absence
hasn't hurt as much as it would on
most teams. Into the breach have
stepped Neil Craig and Herbie
Adams to carry the mail effectively
with Moe Schulman and Eddie
league
Eastern is far from dependent on
one or two players. So even are it's
half dozen backs that it will be
difficult to single out one or two
for all-high honors at the end of
the season.
