RAISES QUESTION OF TREATY
Position Not Tenable-Treaty With

Special Ito THE Astorian.
washington, Oct 23.-The Detroit Dry
Dock Company. to which the naval ou-
rean, chaefs recommended should be
plUtarded the contract for building two OF
the six new gunboats, now wishes to
Withdraw THAT part Of its proposition
which looked to the assembling Of parts OF
THE ships ait Seattle.
The board of bureau chiefs have, how
ever, under the belief that the company
intended to assemble the vessels on the
Pacific coalst, recommended THAT the iri-
spector be sent to Seattle, where this
work twas TO be done according to the
original program.
The purpose Of the Detroit company in
establishing the Seattle branch was not
only Ito avoid amy possible objections that
mdght artlse under the treaty, but also to
secure contracts from the Russian gov
ernmeut for supplying a numbec OF big
Ice breakers, such as they nave buEit for
Lake use, ITO keep Russian harbors on the
Pacific open in winter.
Now THAT the company has abandoned
tine Pacific, the question of violating the
treaty stipulations has been again brought
rorward. Once before the navy depart
meut was obliged to reject the lowest
proposal for butoding the little practice

on the ground THAT any naval construc-
tion on the lakes was stopped by the
treaty, but It is held that this decision
is not now binding. AS a matter of FAC
prohibition Is not contained in the treaty
but an informal agreement entered into
in 1917 between Mr.. Bag5t, for Great
Britain, and Secretary Rush, for the Unit
ed States, and 1t appears from the cor
respondence as printed That 1t was oui
position that was accepted by Great Brit
ain. The agreement, according to tts
terms, was terminated after six months
notice from either party.

SAILING AWAY.

Sailing away with the wind sbeam,
And the WIDE wide sea before;
Sailing away in q lovers dream
To the port Of the golden shore,
Idle hands on the rudder bands,
Hope in the sunrise fair,
And hearts as light as the sea bird white
Afloat in the morning air.
Love, in the dawn Of that faroff time,
Did you guess Of the weary way7
Dearest, when life seemed summer rhyme
Could we tell where we went astray3
Silent tears through the coming years,
Darkness for you and me,
And doubt and dread of the wilds ahead
Fell chill as we sailed s-sea.
Sailing ashore with a waning wind
On the glass OF dreaming tide,
Leaving the dark Of the deep behind
For the light Of the other side,
Loosen hands from the rudder bandsi
All, 10 the margin foam
Comes breath of lssd Ger the golden sand.
Oh, sweet is our welcome bomel
