LID IS TIGHTENED ON UTSIDE LIQUOR Embassies and Legations Given New Regulations by t State Department. By the Assoclated Press. The State Department has taken steps to guard more closely the only avenue by which alcoholic liquors for bever- age use may enter the country. In a communication to the heads of the embassies and legations the depart- ment outlined new regulations gov- erning the issuance and use of certifi- ich members or em- ];_l:;:!“:ge‘;hewhmh!ionl may obtain liquor shipments, amendment of the existing rules apparently being for the purpose of preventing possible misuse of such certificates. Action Found Neceasary. “Th Secretary of State m:enu:n(s his compilments to their excellencies and messieurs. the chiefs of missions the State Department's communic: tion sald. “and hax the honor to in- form them that he has found it neces- sary to discontinue, except as indi- cated hereinbelow, the issue of the certificates for use in the matter of the clearance of consigpments (of liquer) intended for the personal use of members of the missions. “The Secretary of State begs to in- form the chiefs of missions that he will be glad if, when making requests for the free entry of such consign- ments, they will, whenever it is neces- sary to send a representative to clear them, advise him of the name of the member of their respective missions who has been desiznated to receive the consignment. The Department of State will then issue a certificate to be used in that specific instance. Name Should Appear. “The name of the person desiznated should appear either in the diplomatic | list or in the list of employes in the embassies and legations in Washington not printed in the diplomatic list. ‘When the consignment shall have been cleared and brought to Washington the usefulness of the certificate will cease, and the Secretary of State has the honor to request that it be returned to the Department of State. “The Secretary of State has also the kcnor to request that all certificates previously issued to members of the staffs of missions and employes thereof may be returned to the department.” ARTIST SEES DROP INMAGAZINE ART SIX HURT IN TRAFFIC.

Thus. the Figaro declared: “The truth is that Mr. Lloyd George has, like all great democrats, tend- encies toward despotism. He feels that resistance may come from the side of France at the next meeting of the supreme council, and even be- fore the discussion is opened he raises his voice to establish the fact that he must always be right. ‘The mists on the horizon are thicker than usual,’ he says, and he adds that unity between the allies is more necessary than ever. This is un- doubtedly true, but there is nothing to prove that France should again stand the expense of that unity.” London Supports Premier. LONDON, May 19.—Newspapers of this city today showed greater una- i nimity in Indorseing Prime Minizer Lloyd George's declaration of the British attitude toward Poland and Silesia, made yesterday, than they did his almost sensational statements before the house of commons last Friday. Trying a Blonde Instead of Brunette, Chief Effort, Federation Hears. Trying a blonde instead of a bru- nette is about the greatest present-! day experiment in magasine fllustra- | tion, according to George Harding. one of America's foremost illustrators, who spoke before the morning session of the twelfth annual convention of the American Federation of Arts st the Corcoran Gallery of Art today. Mr. Harding, who was one of eight men chosen by the government to go abroad to f#llustrate the war, ‘with a phage of art closely connect with the daily life of every lterate Ameriéan, and one that every layman could appreciate~ The standing of il- lustrative work in magazines is de- termined by a comparison with the upon the execution of the Versailles past. he sald, and on this basis the work of today is noticeably lower than it was a quarter of a century ago, when “the golden age” of illus- tration, featured by the work of such men as Guerin, Abbey, Pyle, Pennell and Remington, was at its height. nth-to-Month Poliey. The it policy fn magazine illustra- | tion, rtist explained, was one of preparation for years In advance; the present policy is a “mouth-to-mouth” one. Artists practically never get a whole serlal story to illustrate at once,. so timid are publishers and so interested n “what the other fellow is doim}};fled by the stat resented a won- ment derful opportunity to illustrators, but that, of fack of adequate train- ing. they could not fully avail them- selves - Immediathly follewing the morning | sessionithe and delegates went to the Whi (use. where they were received by President Harding, who gave them a brief permonal message. Varjous Art Questions. The morning ‘was also devoted fo talks on the artist’s point of view re- garding sculptuyre, mural painting, etching and the graphlc arts, and architecture. Even a prison yard may be adorned with a point of beauty, hope and inspiration, according to Albert Kelsey, whose talk on archi- tecture was illustrated. “The average jailbird has often as good a chance to gain refreshment and inspiration from his surround- ings. and to learn something of the holiness of beauty,” he said. “as has the average man who lives in the average street of the average indus- trial center.” The way in which public schools are now being concelved and built gives cause for rejoicing, he stated, but the building of city churches seems to be at a Jow ebb. The archi- tect must lead public thought and boldly demand that congested, hap- hazard cities be opened up to make noble sites for noble buildings. J. Monroe Hewlett, the mural paint- er, dealt with the topic of mural paint- ing; Herbert Adams, the sculptor, dis- cussed hia spectalty, and graphic artx was the subject as- signed John Taylor Arms.

The Morning Post was alone in dissenting from the prime minister's declara- tions, and in an editorial bearing the caption “Smashing the Entente” the newspaper maintained its antagonism against Mr. Lloyd George's stand, which it declared to be “fantastic and absurd.” The ‘manner in which the prime minister’s statement of last Friday was received by the French press was generally criticised, the Telegraph re- pudiating accusations that Mr. Lloyd George expressed distrust of France, or hinted at an Anglo-French es- trangement. The newspaper called such implications by French journal- ists “very foolish.” and declared the British would support Mr. George in insisting that settlement of Versailles. Insists on Fromtier Line. By the Associated Press. PARIS, May 19.—France insists treaty in drawing the frontier line between Germany and Poland in Up- per Silesia, Premier Briand declared last night ‘upon receiving newspaper correspondents. - He reiterated the statement he made to the newspa- permen last Saturday, when, answer- ing the address of Prime Minister Lloyd George before the house of commons on Friday, he declared that invasion of Silesia by German troops would not be tolerated by France. M. Briand sald he did not see the desirability of meeting Lloyd George before all the documents relating to the Silesian plebiscite had been re- ceived from the interallied commis- sion at Oppeln. The premier, whdse statement was considered as an indi- cation of the trend his impending ad- Gress in the chamber of deputies would take, said: “I have nothing to say except to maintal strictly my viewpoint that France in all this controversy places herself on the sole ground of the Ver- sailles treaty. There is no other ba- sis of discussion possible. On the other hand. France and England can converse only as equals, and Mr. Lioyd himself will ‘agree to this when the misunderstanding is dis- pelled.” Wants te Carry Out Treaty. “I. too, want to see the treaty car- ried out,” said the premier to the correspondent of the London Dalily Mafl. “but there is nothing in the treaty which stipulates that all the rich mining districts in Silesia must &0 to the Germans. while the Poles will get what is left. I do not wish ito enter into any controversy with Mr. Lioyd George, and I stand by what 1 said to you correspondents The premier's statement may have been elicited by declarations made by Prime Minister Lloyd George in London yesterday, in which he as- serted that the settlement of the Sileslan question must be made by the allies. and not by Adalbert Kor- fanty. Polish insurgent leader, who recently has taken over virtuaily all of U'pper Silesia. Twelve Interpellations Ready. Twelve interpellations were in- scribed on the blotter of Raoul Peret, president of the chamber, when the chamber of deputies opened today. Among those who were to speak were Andre Tardleu. Louls Klotz and Andre Le Fevre, former minister of lotted to each, occupied the afternoon session. Some of the subjects consid ered were the amendment of the copy- right law as apolied to art, tae en couragement of handicrafts, the pro- motion of sales of works by America artists, the stimulation of art by prizes and the improvement in art writing. At 4 o'clock the delegates are to be, received by Mrs. Harding at the White House. From 8 until 10 o'clock this evening they will inspect the notable | Pennell collection or Whistleriana in the prints division of the Library of Congress. Following the business sessions to- morrow a visit ig planned to the Phil- 1ips Memorial GAllery. 1600 21st street northwest, at at Rauscher's will conciude the three- day convention. Delegates who stay over Saturday, however, may avail themselves of excursions arranged to Mount Vernon, the Arlington me- morial amphitheater and the National Cathedral. The convention yesterday adopted a resolution denouncing a tariff on art works, following several speeches de- ploring any recurrence of such a duty, while Ross Crane of the Chicago Art Institute told the delegates that in furnishing @ living room paintings, pieces of sculpture and musical in- struments. including the phonograph, took precedence in importance over furniture and rugs.

The questions they were to ask covered a wide fleld. M. Tardieu {was to make inquiries as to the man- ner in which the amount of Ger- many’s obligations was determined ty the allied reparations commission. Klotz was 1o ask questions re- | irding the general financial policy f the government, while M. Le Fevre 3 {was to speak on German disarma- | ment. Others were to inquire rela- tive to detalls of the London confer. ence, the Upper Silesian question and { other matters of present importance. {Rene Viviani, former premier, was prepared to give an account of his recent mission to America. Will Make Reply. Premier Briand has_ declared he would not make a statement until he had heard all the interpellations, when he would make a comprehen- sive reply. It was not believed the putting_of the vote of confidence would "be reached before Saturday. Had this discussoin occurred imme- diately after the adjournment of the London meeting of the supreme coun- cil, opponents of the cabinet declared today. there would have been confi- dence’ that the government would have rhet defeat. The address of Prime Minister Lloyd George on the Upper Silesian question and payment by Germany of the first reparations installment of 150,000.000 gold marks were sald by the supporters of the ministry to have solidified M. Briand's position. _— TO COMMAND THE WRIGHT. Capt. William H. Standley, at the Na- val War College, Newport, has been as- signed to the command of the U. 8. 8. Wright &m SECRETARY DAVIS 10 ADIUST STRIKE Marine Engineers Give Him Full Power to Deal With Ship Owners and Ship Board. Secretary of Labor Davis was given full powers by representatives of the seamen, marine engineers and radio operators at a conference last night to make a scttlement for them with the ship owners and the Shipping Board in the marine wage contro- versy. The labor representatives came to Washington from New York and were in conference with Mr. Da- vis for several hours. After placing the settlement entirely in his hangds, they arranged to meet with him again today to work out details of tenta- tive agreements involving wage re- ductions, new working conditions and overtime scales for the information of the Secretary in conferences with Shipping Board officials. Probable Proposals. The proposals which it is under- stood Secretary Davis will make to the Shipping Board include a 15 per cent wage reduction, as demanded by the ship operators and the board, but changes upward in overtime and working conditions may make the re- ductions range from 10 to 121% per cent if accepted by the board. Cooks and stewards were not represented at the meeting. It is understood that although their case will be handled separately, an agreement will quickly follow and that the Labor Secretary will endeavor to have the ship owners and the Shipping Board agree to time- and-a-half on Sundays for engineers while they are at sea and double time while on duty Sundays in port. Unfon Chiefs at Conference. Representatives of the unions at the conference were: William S. Brown, president of the Marine Engineers’ Beneficial Association; Andrew Furu- beth, president of the Seamen's Union; Benjamin Beckerman of the United Radio_Telegraphers’ Association, and Bert I. Todd. C. E. Thurston, Wil- liam Hyman and James Dukes of the marine engineers. ATTACK SHIP'S GUARD. One Marine Striker Receives Broken Back During Fight. NEW ORLEA May 19.—A hand- to-hand fight between alleged marine| strikers and private guards on a ship anchored near the Chalmette slips late last night was reported to local police by St. Bernard parish authori- ties today. According to the St. Bernard au- thorities, a motor boat containing about a dozen men approached a ves- sel anchored on the west side of the river, the occupants climbing aboard.

PARSONS LEADS IN QUALIFYING ROUND Scores in Chevy Chase Golf Tournament Unusually High, Course Being Heavy. With most of the crack players In the field still out, Donald Parsons of the Chevy Chase Club led in the first f of the qualifying round of the annual spring tournament of the Chevy Chase Club today with a card of §2. John H. Clapp of Chevy Chase and J. W. Grissinger of the War De- partment were next with cards of 86. The scores turned in up to 1 o’clock were unusually high, as most of the players found the course heavy and the going hard. Other scores turned in follow: L. 8. Otell, Racebrook, 87; J. J. Toy, Columbia, 87: L. E. Sanford, Laporte, 88; A. D.V. Burr, Washington, 90: J. Brennan, Columbia, 91: Herman Stab- ler. Columbja, 91; L. Perce, Chevy Chase, 92; S. B. Hain, Washington, 92; Gen. H.

Appleman, Columbia, 96; T. N. McAboy, Chevy Chase, 96; H. A. Gardner, Chevy Chase, 96; L. B. Platt, Washington, 96; Arthur Russell, Washington, 97. Many Stars in Field Should Make Contest Most Keen on Record The largest and most brilliant field that ever got under way in the quali- fying round of a golf tournament about Washington started from the first tee at the Chevy Chase Club at 8 o'clock today. J. H. Brickenstein and E. O. Wagenhorst of the Chevy Chase Club had_the honor of leading the large field. Beginning at § o'clock the 240 entrants teed off four minutes apart by pairs. Some doubt had pre- viously been expressed by the golf committee of the Chevy Chase Club that such a large field could be hand- led in oné day, but the committee felt today that all qualifying cards should be turned in before 7 o'clock. On that schedule the qualifying round should be run off without a hitch. The last pair was due to start from the first tee at 3:16 this afternoon. This would allow ample time, the £olf committee felt, for a possible playoft for a place or places in the first flight. Stars in Competition, Local golfers realized today that the fight to secure a place in the first flight of this year's Chevy Chase tournament would, indeed, be a se- vere one, and that it was quite pos- sible scores as_low as %3 might mot get in the honor division. The number of talented players entered from out of Washington inciuded at least two of the best golfers in the country in Russell Smith of Port- land, Ore., and Capt. Fraser Hale of Chicago. Hale also is a member of Chevy Chase. In addition there are three players from Toronto, any one of whom is liable to shoot superla- tive golf. Frank Thompson, one of the best of the Canadians, Is re- garded as the top-notcher of the Do- minion contingent, although every golfer realizes that George S. Lyon, elght times Canadian champion, will take a lot of beating over any course. Harry Colson, another crack Canadian, is expected to play well. Among the local players entered are Walter R. Tuckerman and Wil- llam S. Reyburn of the Chevy Chase Club, regarded as the two best play- ers of the host organization: Albert R. MacKenzie, Donald Woodward and Guy M. Standifer of Columbia and Robert L. Finkenstaedt, the District amateur champlon. Jim McMenimen, former chamipon of Virginia state, also is entered and should do well, and Donald Parsons. who played splendid golf at Pinehurst during the winter. is expected to land well up in the first flight. Clone Contests Expected. With only four flights or sixty-four | places open good golf is necessary to iqualify at all. The vote for | {hat To ‘When it is considered that less than dne-fourth of the large field can find places in the match play rounds among the sixty-four who turn in cards eligible to compete to- morrow, it is realized by every en- trant that he must play to the limit of his ability. Added to this fact is the circum- stance that recent rains have made the course at Chevy Chase very soft and the Chevy Chase course is one or two strokes longer today than it will be later in the week, when the sun and wind have thoroughly dried It out. Some players, however, will find it to their advantage, for they will be able to play their pitch shots right un to the hole. The course, however, is In splendid condition, although the putting greens have been slow for the past few days. With the prospect of good weather for the three days of the tournament competitors are looking forward to an enjoyable event. Walter R. Tuckerman was the win- ner last year. RAP MONOPOLISTIC STATE INSURANGE FEdward S. Brashears, representing the Washington Board of Trade, to- day put witnesses on record before the subcommittee of the House Dis- trict committee. taking testimony on the Fitzgerald bill for compulsory state industrial insurance in the Dis- trict, to the effect that monopolistic state insurance is not comparable with competitive insurance and does not protect the best interest of those employed in hazardous industry While experts from Pennsylvania and Gov. Hart of Washington were testifying Mr. Brashears asked a number of questions which empha- sized the impracticability of com- pulsory industrial insurance which would include all workers “from the pulpit to the kitchen.” as proposed in the Fitzgerald measure. Washington State Laws. Gov. Hart of Washington caplained the operation of laws in thal state and the medical aid fund. He said that the workmen's ¢ should be paid for by peopte benefited. For example, in his state. the farmers should not pay for thosc insured in hazardous industry, and here in the District of Columbia all householders should not pay, as i3 proposed in the Fitzgerald bill. In the state of Washington, he said, the farm workers are not classed as em- ployes in hazardous work any more than domestic employes should be S0 classed in the National Capital. Willlam C. Fisher, actuary for the bureau of workmen's compensation, state of Pennsylvania department of abor and industry, said that the workmen's compensation fund should not be monopolistic. In a survey of 10.000 accident cases it has been found in Pennsylvania that the state fund is slower in making settlements. There they have three systems—one self-insurance, where the employer bonds himself: second, the state fund, and third. private companies. Mr. Fisher told the subcommittee that self-insurance s the best meas- ure possible for the benefit of the em- ployes, because it induces safety-first regulations and other safeguards. In the state of Peansylvania, he said, the workmen have never lost one cent through self-insurance. The rights of the employe are given the same| precedent as a labor lien. Advocate Competition. Francis H. Bohlen, counsel for the workmen's compensation board of Pennsylvania, advocated, as also did{ Mr. Fisher, competitive insurance. He! said that experience has shown that the monopBolistic state fund is not the best form from the viewpoint of either the employer or the employe. Competition makes for lower rate, quicker payments and general ef- ficiency, he testified. A Mr. Bohlen advocated one provision which 1s not in the Fitzgerald bill— that is, for a catastrophe reserve. He said that today should provide a fund 80 safeguard against catastrophe in the future, and once that fund is built up it will hake for the lowering of industrial insurance rates. MR, HAYS PRAISES “MAIL EARLY” PLAN Postmaster General Hays today called to the attention of every post- master in the ®nited States the suc- cess achieved by the Washington city post office in its “mall early” cam paign. In a letter sent by the Postmaster General to postmasters there is quoted a_letter from City Postmaster M. O. Chance detailing the steps taken here, to get the departments and mailers in general to put their letters into the boxes early each day. Postmaster General Hays points out that Postmaster Chance has been able to transfer more than fifty-six em- ployes from night to day work by rea- on of the relief of the late afternoon ‘peak.” Mr. Chance’s Letter. Postmaster Chance, in his letter to the head of the Post Office Depart- ment, details the steps taken to estab- lish the “quick collection” service throughout the business section, and says ‘The peak load has been to such an extent transferred to the forenoon and early afternoon by diverting the malilings of government matter, busi- ness letters and circulars, second- class matter, etc., from the evening that T have been able to practically eliminate, so far as the regular em- ployes are concerned, what was known as the ‘graveyard shift' at this office. ‘That shift or force of employes was composed of sixty-six clerks, who reported at 3:30 p.m. and worked until 12 midnight day after day the vear round. Fifty-six of those clerks {have been given an alternating day and evening tour. The remainder at- tend school in the forenoon or for some other personal reason prefer the ‘graveyard shift.’ Nearly 100 Benefited. “Not only has the evening force been benefited.” continued the city postmaster, “but a rearrangement of collection schedules has made it pos- sible to transfer fourteen clerks from the tour beginning at midnight and ending at 8:30 a.m. to the alternating day and evening tour, the most de- sirable one in the postal service, and to _eliminate a ‘swing’ time of one and one-half hours each, formerly necessary over twenty-eight collec- tion routes. “In_all, nearly 100 employes ha been benefited in one way or another by the campaign,” said Postmaster Chance. He warned against allowing the campaign to lapse, and faid that as the result of the campaign the i i D. C, THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1921 MME. GURIE COMING 10D, C. TOMORROW Will Arrive Here at 8:30 A.M.
