RHODES TRUSTEES t ANNOUNCE WINNERS s s Boston, Sept. 26.?The results of f the annual election of Rhodes schol- n ars to represent the United States i 'at the University of Oxford were r announced today by Prof. Frank Aydlotte, of the Massachusetts In- c stitute of Technology, American n secretary of the Rhodes trustees, j The quota for the United States j, this year as was the cast last year, v was 64 instead of the normal 32, h thus making up for the postpone- b ment of eletcions during the war. 0 The scholars elected as for 1920 will go to Oxford in January, 1921, ti and those elected as for 1921, will go in October of that year to bring f, the appointments back to the regular schedule. Next year the quota f( for the United States will be 32. * The selections were made by com- V( mittees chosen from 500 former KQodes scnoiars now living m una country. About 400 men were can- O didates for the 64 appointments, the competition being this year larger than ever before. The increased in- V terest in the scholarships in this country is paralleled by the favorable arrangements now in force for their reception in Oxford.

FFICIALS DISCUSS CALIFORNIA LAW ^hich Bars Japanese From Owning Land In That State. Washington, Sept. 28.?Adminiration officials continue to discuss >r publication any of the phases of le negotiations wim unpau 6wt?w?6 it of the proposed anti-Japanese nd law in California, but the imression has gone out that a proposfrom Tokio that the question be iferred to a joint commission for ilution would be unacceptable. The conversations regarding the alifornia law which have been >ing on between Ambassador lidebara of Japan and state deirtment officials are continuing id so far as has been learned, the oposal for joint commission has >t been formally communicated to ashington by the Japanese governent. What progress, if any, has been ade in the negotiations has not ?en disclosed. The attitude of the ate department is described as one tlculated to prevent the developent of a feeling of alarm in the nited States that might approach ren approximately that which ap;ars to Jbe growing in Japan. Conflicting opinions of both Amrican and Japanese authorities on iternational law are said to have lade the task of the state departient officials and the Japanese amassador more difficult. Proponents F the California law say that alifornias enacting a measure arring the Japanese in this country o rights or privileges which are ot refused by Japanese law to Amricans in Japan.' Japan, contends that the Califor-| ia law, which is to bfe voted in No ember, is discriminatory because it oes not apply ,to all foreigners like as does the Japanese law. The iggestion was made in Tokio that fter the law is enacted to be tested i the United States supreme court, ome Japanese authorities on interational law about that this would e effective as they state frankly hat the proposed California law onflicts neither with the constituion nor with the terms of the Amrican-Japanese treaty. Dr. K. Kobayshi, writing of the roposed law in "the Japanese reiew of international law," says it is utile to attempt opposition by jgal methods. "Neither the present California lien lar^d law, nor the proposed asiy ana cruiei initiative law " says >r. Kobayshij "can be dealt with as jgal questions. All that can be done 3 to soften them by political and iplomatic methods." AMERICAN LEGION f.RFFTFn BY FrWH Marshal Of France Pays Glowing Tribute?Two Nations United. Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 28.?
