S. SILENT ON PROTOCOL. League Action Fails to Change At- titude of Administration. Completion in Geneva of the League | of Nations program for presentation | of a protocol under which a world- wide arms limitation conference could be called next June failed to alter the attitude of silence as to the proceedings which administration of- ficials here have observed. It was reiterated that the Wash- ington Government has been largely dependent on press reports from Geneva for its knowlddge of what has transpired there. In the absence of complete official accounts and of the text of the protocol, it was said that no comment was to be expected and that it was not certain that spokesmen for the United States would have anything to say even after the official reports are in hand. Subject an Involved Onme. While State Department officials would not g0 beyond this negative statement, it is obvious that many reasons may press for deferment of the decisions upon the attitude to be taken with respect to the invitation the United States will receive to par- ticipate in the conference.

Dispatches today from Tokio inti- mating that the Japanese motive in seeking amendment of the protocol at Geneva was based upon the situation in China rather than upon a desire to bring the immigration question to front served to disclose that hington officials already have ered that as the most prob- able cause for the Japanese attitude. No comment was available on the Tokio advices, however, beyond the statement that they were “not sur- ng.” It is known that to some informed official; here there has seemed at no time to be any real reason to believe that the immigration ques- tion was stirring the Japanese dele- sation at Geneva to the efforts it made to secure amendment of the protocol. On the contrary, it has been the judgment of these officials that the present war in China might reach a point where Japanese inter- ests were threatened to an extent re- | that would impel the Tokio govern- ment to consider some form of ac- tion. It was believed by these ob- servers that the Japanese delegation was endeavoring to avoid the adop- tion of the peace protocol as orig- Inally presented, because it might be possible that Japan could be de- clared to be an aggressor under that protocol if the action she might feel forced to take in Manchuria was car- ried out. - TWO HELD IN GIN THEFT.

Agnew had 73, while two other members of Bannock- burn, Lee Crandall, jr., and R. C. McKimmie, the Middle Atlantic cham- plon, tied for third place with scores of 75. Bannockburn players usurped the spotlight in the medal round as most of the low gcores were made by members of the host club. Two men of high rank in local golf failed to make the first sixteen and withdrew their cards. Walter R. Tuckerman of Burning Tree, the District champion, with a score of 81, landed in a tie for last place in the first sixteen and_was climinated in in the playoff. He withdrew rather than play in the second flight. Albert R.

The vessel will remain here until daylight Sunday morning, when she will start the re- turn trip to New York. Hundreds Greet Ship. The big vessel attracted no little in- terest when she steamed up Washing- ton channel, as a large crowd lined the sea wall, and there were hundreds on the dock to greet members of the command. This morning the veterans and the regulars of the 1st Division were the guests of the Navy Department and the regents of Mount Vernon. Ad- miral Hutchinson, commandant of the Yard, placed at their disposal the two naval ferries, Porpoise and Grampus, for a water trip to Mount Vernon, and this fleet was augmented by the Army river post tender, Gen. Rucker, for the water trip to Mount Vernon, where they were the guests of the officials there. Luncheon was served there, and shortly after 2 o'clock the return trip was started. They will reach a point off the naval air station at 4 o'clock, when the fivers of Bolling Field will stage an air circus for their benefit. Those who did not go to Mount Ver- non are being entertained on sight- seeing trips around the city, and there will be a polo game in Potomac Park this afternoon. No Business Today.
