Both of these young men are sons of prominent Ohio pros. Ogilvie will assist his dad at a Cleveland course and Sargent will assist his father at Scioto in Columbus. The Buckeye golf team suffered a blow from the loss of these two play- ers, rated among the best in the state, that it hardly will recover from this year. Both were sophomores.

Soviet Russia and China voted against the resolution for publicity and Germany abstained from voting. Maxim Litvinoff, sovict delegate, characterized it as a step backward, declaring it showed the preparatory commission had renounced the prin- ciple of limitation or reduction of war material. He insisted that publicity put restraint on no one and that all the governments could publish any figures they wanted. See Hope in Publicity ‘The resolution says the commission rejected systems of direct limitation of material in service and in stock and, having noted the system of in- of people who are always soft-soap- ing. that it would then resume discussion of naval armaments.
