There is no article of commerce into which the cost of lumber does not enter, and when you say lumber you mean trees. “Arbor days are great things.

GRIFFMEN RETURN IN FINE CONDITION; PLAY GIANTS TODAY (Continued From First Page.) 1927. Both Bluege and Myer have played remarkably well in the Spring exhibitions. Team play has been so de- veloped in this quartet that now it seems the best inner cordon the Na- tionals have had in more than a decade. Three brilliant fly chasers constitute the outfield. Leon Goslin, San West and Red Bames already are hailed as | the best defensive garden trio in the | American League. | Heading the pitching staff is Sam Jones, many years a major league pitcher, but still so effective that he probably will be Manager Johnson's choice to open the season against the Athletics here next Tuesday. With Jones are the tried veterans Irving Hadley, Garland Braxton and Fred Marberry. Braxton and Marberry have been especially impressive in Spring workouts, while Hadley has done well, despite a minor physical ailment that soon may be remedied and make him much more effective in the pitcher's box. The club has in Adolph Liska a most promising recruit. With his odd underhand delivery, the $20,000 pur- chase from Minneapolis is expected to beffie many opposing batsmen. Lloyd Brown and Bob Burke, young left- handers with the club last season, but then little used, apparently are greatly | improved and may see much service this year, And there is Paul Hopkins, too, who may prove a handy hurler to have around. Generally the Nationals seem to have a good pitching staff, a staff that should win a goodly rumber of games. And in Ruel and Benny Tate, holdovers from last year's backstopping department, and Roy Spencer, a newcomer to Wash- ington, but with much major league ex- perience, the club is well fortified be- looking about the Washington club in its battery corps. Rescrve Is Strong. The Washington reserve is held the strongest the club has had in many seasons, Charley Gooch, a draftee from Little Rock; Joe Cronin, who performed regularly at short for several months last year, and Stewart are available for emergency use in the infleld while the outfield second-stringers are the capable Rice and Spencer Harris, the last men- tioned a hard hitter who has ben uj to the big league before. In al likeli- hood. Harris will be s2en in right field in the two games the Nationals have here with the Giants for Barnes, regular occupant of the berth, and Rice now ere nursing minor injuries, The club cught to have hitting strength. Heading its attack is Goslin, who last year was champion batsman of the American League. This powerful hitter's main supporting cast includes ‘West, Myer, Barnes and Judge, players who banged their way into the .300 class last season. Bluege and Ruel were well up among the good hitters in 1928, while this Spring Hayes shows signs of becoming a strong performer at bat. Tate, the catcher, and several pitchers are good attacking strength in the reserve, ac- cording -to past performances. WET REPRESENTATIVE DEMANDS LOSSES ON DISTILL. L. C.

The eppointment of Charles Gates Dawes as Ambassador to the Court of 8t. James is President Hoover's first step in a realignment of the American diplomatic service, through which he hopes to bring its effiiclency to the highest possible point. To reach this objective, the President purposes to choose only men of recog- nized and proved ablility to represent the United States in foreign lands, a policy that he has followed both in an out of public cfiice in the selection of those to whom difficult work was to be intrusted. But, as with appointments to his law _enforcement study commission, Mr. Hoover is moving slowly and care- fully in making changes in the foreign service, New appointments and changes in the assignments of present personnel are to come one at a time and may be strung out over several months as the Chief Executive combs the field for available and suitable | material. Herrick’s Place to Fill. With the London post provided for, he is now confronted with the necessity of finding a man to fill the important and responsible post at Paris, made va- cant by the death of Myron T. Herrick. | prop: Because of the demands of riety and the Presidont’s desire to select an appointee who will be acceptable in every way, however, a final decision cannot be expected for some time, The Paris position is regarded as par- ticularly difficult to fill because of the exceptionally high regard m which Mr. Herrick was heid, not only by the French government, but by the people of that country as well. Prominent among the names that have been pro- posed is that of Gen. John J. Persh- ing. Well known throughout France as commander in chief of the American tionary Forces, Pershing; it has been suggested, would bring to the am- bassadorship much of the esteem and respect enjoyed by the late diplomat. Among the more tmportant diplomatic posts at which changes are expected are Rome and Tokio. The administra- tion has other work in prospeet for Henry P. Fletcher, Ambassador to Italy, who is a “career man,” but there has been no indication where he will be as- signed. Ambassador Charles MacVeagh, America’s representative in Japan, has expressed a desire to terminate his serv- ices with the Government. and there bave been indications that he might be succeeded by John Van A. Mac- Murray, now Minister to China, which in turn would leave another vacancy at a post of importance. South America Changes, In South America, cl are ex- pected in Peru, where Alexander P. Moore is now Ambassador, and in Chile, where the United States 'is now rep sented by Willlam A.

PO I LEVIATHAN T0 SELL LIQUOR ON RETURN ' Executive of Company Own-! ing Line Hopes to Curb Bootlegging on Ship. By the Assoclated Press. | NEW YORK, April 11.—No liquor will be sold on the Leviathan on her pres- ent voyage to Europe, Joseph E. Sheedy, executive vice president of the United States Lines, Inc., announced this aft- ernoon. He said that his order to the stewards of the ship was to serve liquors on the Western trip. “After prohibition, the United States Shipping Board deemed it good policy to enforce the Federal law on rd vessels under its control, but that didn't stop the drinking. Passengers brought their own liquor on board, and boot- legging was rife. We to stop all that by making it lroul le for them to obtain liquor legally on board.” Not to Serve Too Much. “I made the decision entirely on my own responsibility after consulting a great number of steamship people and travelers and hope when it comes be- fore our board of directors they will support it. There is no legal technical- ity involved and no law violated by the arrangement. The Supreme Court ren- dered a decision some time ago permit- ting American-owned vessels to sell liquor outside the territorial limits of 12 miles, 5 “Now that women drink and smoke and all sorts of language develops where liquor is served, it is much better that there be no ship bar. Passengers may have what they desire in their cabins and in the dining room—unless they give evidence of having had too much. In that case, they will be served no more liquor.” The liner was making her malden voyage under private American owner- ship as the flagship of the newly or- ganized United States Lines, Inc., Sheedy said there would be no public bar in the ship, but that liquors and wines would be served to passengers in their cabins and in the dining rooms and smoking rooms. Drinks will be served at meals. It will be unnecessary to purchase whole bottles. Same Policy on All Ships. The same policy, Sheedy said, would be put into effect aboard the other 10 ships which Paul W. Chapman recently purchased from the United States Ship- ping Board and which will make up the United States Lines’ fleet. Sheedy sald the company sought no direct financial gain from the sale of liquor, but deemed it necessary to offer it for sale to put the American-owned vessels on an equal footing with foreign transatlantic liners. Under the law ships are permitted to carry 1 quart of liquor for each five passengers and members of the crew for medical purposes. This would give the Leviathan an allowance of 700 quarts on this voyage to Europe. The Leviathan and other Shij Board vessels were made dry in 1923 on the theory that liquor should not be sold on Government-owned ships. f’mfl"y‘.’? rA!n’;;r pomnm:e;t the I':i. sel IC] {2 ), eX( jo lar Line, sell liguor, Sheedy, as president of the Mer- tion in charge of itions, the official order that liquor could not be taken aboard the Shipping Board vessels for sale to pas- sengers. - Hurley Is Passenger.

Although Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, slster of Vice President Curtls, will rank the same as a wife of a Vice President at diplomatic dinners, her status as an “assoclate member” of the Senate Ladies' Luncheon Club remains un- altered, it was learned today. ‘The seat at the head of the table at the Senate Ladies’ luncheons ordinarily assigned the wife of the Vice President will continue to be occufied by Mrs. George H. Moses, wife of the Senator from New Hampshire. Mrs. Moses, as wife of the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. was elected president of the club at a meeting Feb- ruary 6 last, following a discussion es to the status of the Vice President's sister and official hostess. Decision Does Not Affect Club. It has beerf the custom of the club to elect the Vice President’s wife as leader of the Senate hostesses. Since Vice President Curtis is a widower, it was decided that the wife of the Presi- dent Pro Tempore of the Senate was next in line for the presidency. M Gann was accorded the status of sociate member, thereby becoming in- eligible for the post of president. Questioned today regarding the pos- sible effect of the diplomats’ “agree- ment” of yesterday that Mrs. Gann should receive the ‘social courtesies of | 88 a wife of the Vice President, Mrs. Moses sald that the Senate Ladies’ Luncheon Club ht;: not affected in any way by the opinion. “The ruling of the diplomatic corps,” she explained, “has absolutely nothing to do with activities of our club. We are not concerned with the social code at all. Personalities do not enter into the question., The constitution of the club controls.our procedure. “You see, Mre. Gann is an assoclate member and under the constitution c: the club, an associate member is not eligible to become its president.” Announcement of the diplomatic agreement under which Mrs. Gann will outrank the wives of envoys, cabinet members and Senators was contained in a letter sent to Secretary of State Stimson late yesterday by Sir Esme Howard, British Ambassador and dean of the diplomatic corps. Speculate Over Ruling. Much speculation has arisen over the fact that the diplomats emphasized that the arrangement is “provisional” and “must be considered as being without prejudice to any final arrangement.” The 'ment, it was added, “is not altogether in accordance with the cus- tom which has an-fled during recent years,” but will hold “until we can obtain some definite ruling on this point from a constituted American authority.” “What constituted American authori- ty is there if the State Department no longer can settle such questions?” the British Ambassador was asked. “None, at present,” he replied. In some quarters it was thought that Congress might be asked to create a “constituted American authority” to act as final arbiter in questions of official soclal precedence. The protocol division of the Department of State heretofore has exercised functions to that effect, but under an order issued yesterday by Secretary Stimson it must restrict its rulings to matters of priority of service among foreign diplomats. Operative Tonight. ‘The diplomats’ arrangement will be- come operative for the first time tonight at & formal dinner to be given at the Pan-American Building by Ambassador Davila of Chile to ance Minister Ramirez. Mrs. Gann will be seated in the place which heretofore would have been n:::k lm-nly 'ol the wife of the highest ing guest. The Vice President and Mrs. Gann, with her husband, will be the hosts at & reception to teh diplomatic corps to- morrow night, but that function would not have been affected even if the corps had not acted on the question of pre- cedence, as the problem dealt only with her status as & guest at official dinners and similar entertainments.
