LORD LANSDOWNE ASKS
FOR AN EXPLANATION
Desires EIucidation of Certain
Points in Venezuelan Protocol.

Upon his return from New York last
night Herbert ". Bowen, who is caring
for Venezuela's interests in the nego-
tiations relating 10 protocols for the
settlement claims against Venezuela.
found a note from Sir Michael Herbert.
the British ambassador. stating that
Lord Lansdowne did not understand Ger
tain provisions in the protocol proyid-
ing for the submission of the question
OF preferential treatment TO The Hague,
and asking Mr. Bowen's reasons for in
serting certain clauses
The clause concerning which Lord
Lansdowne especially desired informa-
ton was that which provides that The
Hague tribunal shall determine the rost
of settling the claims and shall decide
what powers shall pay the court costs
Mr. Bowen believes this would be the
most satisfactory manner of deciding
who shall pay the costs and has so re-
piled to the allied powers.
MI Bowen has received no communi-
cation from President Castro of Yene-
zuela concerning what course he pur-
poses 10 take in the settlement OF the
claims against his republic and does not
expect 10 hear from the South Ameri-
can President until next Tuesday, the
date of the arrival in this country of the
first mail which left Venezuela since
Sir Bowen-s letter of advice TO Presi-
dent Castro reached that country. The
case is so involved that cable communi-
cation relating TO it would net be salts

DARLING OPPOSES SCHEME

Officers of the navy are discussing with
much interest a plan for a general staff
in the navy, somewhat similar to that
now under way in the army. The matter
had been talked Of to some extent before
the departure of Secretary Moody. but
his opinion is not yet fixed as to Its ad-
visibility and practicabiiity.
While some of the most prominent Of
hcers at the Navy Department approve
Of the scheme. and are seeking to bring
it about by an act of Congress at its next
session, If the recommendation OF the
Secretary OF the Navy can be obtained.
Acting Secretary Darling is strongly op-
posed to if.

Bureau Would Control.

The plan purposes to place the control
and movement of ships of the navy
under the Bureau OF Navigation. The
advocates of the scheme deny the as
sertion that the plan would curtail the
powers of he navy.
Outside OF the members of the general
board. naval officers are opposed to the
plan for a general staff, although prac-
tically all of them agree that such d
stan. with certain limitations, would be
an excellent thing for the navy. The
principal objection is that it would sc
greatly curtail the powers of the civil
ian Secretary OF the Navy that he would
practically have nothing TO do of d
strictly executive character.
1t is hinted by its opponents that the
proposition is meant for the aggrandize-
ment of a few officers.

Prepare an Axiom. +"

The supporters say their proposition
would not in any manner limit the du-
tics or powers of the civilian head OF the
department IA support Of shis argu-
ment they nave prepared what they
term "an axiom" which they will sub
nit to MIR Moody on his return. The
axiom is as follows:
"A great organization like the navy
should be based on such an efficient sys-
TEN that strong Secretary OF the Navy
can do the greatest amount OF s0od, a
weak Secretary the least amount of
harm. and that when the Secretary is
absent the machinery NAV not be inter
fered with"
The opponents of the general staff say
that this so-called axiom is the strong
est possible argument against the plan.
They call attention TO the admission
that 1t would take an unusually strong
man to keep the staff from completely
running affairs
The belief prevails that Secretary
Moody viii refuse to indorse the plan,
