Devoted to Naval Work.
inv cable to The Tribune. !

Berlin. Jan. 6.-Germany has def
nitely decided on the institution of
large aerial centre devoted entirely to
naval work. This first centre will be
situated at Cuxhaven. where for the last
few months the German Ministry Of
Marine has made extensive purchases
Of land. ostensibly for the purpose of
a new artillery range.
The site has an area of 3l5 square
miles. and il is now known that Ii will
be utilized for a combined aeroplane
and airship station. Including level
ling expenses and necessary prepara-
ton the land will have cost 100000.
A large airship hangar, mounted on
a rotating platform and capable of
housing two Zeppelin dirigibles of the
latest and most powerful type, will be
erected at further cost of S423,OOO.
A special aerial section is now in proc
ess of formation at the German navy
headquarters and will be established
at the new centre. Cuxhaven.

PEACE OUTLOOK DARK:
CONFERENCE "SUSPENDS"
Surrender Of Adrianople One Of the Few
Things Which Can Now Prevent a
Resumption Of Hostlities.

tons Of Greeks and Bulgarans far
more easy, for it is certain that Bull
garia cannot give Salonica to Greece
unless she gains Adranople.
The Egean islands are a likelier
source Of trouble for the powers. Italy
is keenly DESTROYS of retaining the ISL
ands which she is at present occupying,
but If she does that then other powers
Will claim some compensation, and the
game Of international scramble will
have begun. Austria, on the other
hand, is understood to be opposed to
the annexation of any of the Egean
islands by the allies, but it is incon-
ceivable that even Austria can contem-
plate the possibility Of Turkey resum-
ing possession of these Christian ISL
ands and turning loose upon them the
purely Asiatic troops which are now
assembled in CoHstantinople In this
matter Great Britain may take a hand,
In virtue Of the power of her fleet at
present in the Mediterranean, and if
she does probably other powers will
follow.
War, it would seem. can only be
avoided II the powers are agreed on a
line of action. Here is a shrewd test
for the conference of ambassadors now
meeting at the Foreign Office. Is there
any one policy upon which all of those
anlbaSs doris cOJld be instructed by
their governments to act in agreement?
If so, then there is a chance of prevent
ing the renewal Of the war, but if not,
then war will surely break out afresh

"COURTING A DEADLOCK"
President Taft's Proposal Crit

commenting I'm an editorial on the report
that President Taft wants the Panama
controversy referred to tribunal con-
sisting Of equal numbers OF British and
American representatives. says:
This would be TO court deadlock. for
we have had enough experience OF Ameri-
can commissioners. even when they are
eminent jurists, to know that they take
an exceedingly patriotic view OF their
duties"
The Morning Post" admits that there
f. some truth I'm the American contention
that all the seagoing nations comprised
In the Hague tribunal would be injured
by the Panama act. and would therefore
be against the United states. but still
considers that there IS less reason TO fear
the Justice of the Hague tribunal than
Of any other that could be suggested.

Toulon, France. January Eight mon
were killed to-day by an explosion in the
stoke hole OF the French battleship Mas

cruisers, was proceeding for Bizerta. she
was passing the Hyeres Islands when the
steam collector pipe of one of the boilers
burst.
The warshp was Immediately stopped
and the engine room staff rushed to ,he
stokehole, where they found petty

on the steel floor dead The ship put back
and landed the bodies at the St Mandrier
Naval Hospital.
The cause of the accident has not vet
been ascertained but it has occaslohed
great surprise among the naval authori-

fBy Cable 20 The Tribune.l

London, Jan. THE peace confer
ence has broken up. Suspended" is
the official word used to put the best
face on the Fact that the conference
has so far resulted in failure The
deadlock, in fact, is for the moment
complete. Both sides have refused to
go back from their proposals a single
substantial inch, and unless some help
ing hand comes from outside the out
look is for a resumption Of the war
with all its appalling suffering and loss
of life.
In fact, at the present moment 1t is
only necessary for eltneI side to give
forty-eight hours notice on an intention
to terminate the armistice, and then
the guns will begin to go off again. It
is believed that the powers are urging
Turkey to come to terms with the
allies, and in the event Of their failure
some iorm Of intervention will doubt
less hc proposed.
Meanwhile the allies are content TO
await developments calmly, knowing
that time is on their side. The problem
Of Adrianople may be solved any day
by the surrender of the city. which Is
now passing through the last terrible
agony Of its great resistance.
The surrender Of Adrianople would
ease matters I'm every way. Ii will ease
matters for the powers. 1t will make
the allies more friendly 10 the claims
Of Austria, and it will make the rela-

aIr. Vorhaus then asked the banker
why he did not get security for the

Hammerstein's promise made TO him
at the beginning Of their transactions
that he would make good.
The negotiations between the Metro

Wanted Loan or No Opera.

Mr.. Stotesbury then took the witness
stand. He said that he first met Mr.
Hanmerstein in the Philadelphia Opera
House i'm 1908. The impresario told
him then that unless he was able TO
negotiate a loan for 100000 on the
uropertv OF his Philadelphia Opera
company the Quaker City would have
to do without his operate productions.
The banker said that he agreed to
advance the money, securing it by
mortgage on the property offered. and
I'm the spring Of 1909 he advanced
5000. 900 on a second mortgage on Ham,
merstcn's New York opera house and
Hammerstcin's Victoria.
In the fall OF the same year Mr.
Hammerstein came TO him with the
demand for guarantee, Mr.. Stotes-
bury said. He explained that he ana
several other Philadelphians had in
sured the Metropolitan Opera House
company against any loss that it might
have incurred through the production
of opera in Philadelphia. Mr.. Ham
merstcin wanted the same thing done
for him.

SUIT ON BEFORE A JURY
Herr Oscar Will Take Witness
Stand To-day-Holds Mr..
Stotesbury Helped to
Wipe Out Deficit.

Edward T. Stotesbury, the rich patron
Of opera in Philadelphia, and Oscar
Hammerstein, the impresario, faced
each other in court here yesterday,
when the trial OF Mr.. Stotesbury's suit
for the recovery of 500. $50 from Herr
Oscar was begun before Judge Mayer
and a jury in the United States Dis
trict Court The jury is to decide the
little misunderstanding that arose be-
tween the impresario and the patron
Of his Philadelphia opera house as to
whether the amount paid by Mr..
Stotesbury was a donation or only
loan.
Mr.. Stotesbury had the opportunity
Yesterday to assert from the witness
stand that his contribution or S39,3oo
70 Mr.. Hammersteins operate business
was a loan, pure and simple, while the
impresario made it plain, through the
counsel that the manner in which the
money was obtained bore no resem-
blance whatever to other of his imam
cial transactions with Mr. Stotesbury,
which invariably involved a demand
for security and a prompt recording
Of mortgages. Herr Oscar expects TO
take the witness stand himself to-day.
Judge UnrsveIs Tangle.
Herbert G. Smyth. counsel for Mr..
,tfo NnrhqIIg at
torney for Mr.. Hammerstein, became
involved in wrangle that caus'd
Judge Mayer To interfere. Later IN the
day Mr.. Vorhaus tried to Introduce N
evidence newspaper articles that de-
scribed Mr.. Stotesbury as a patron OF
opera who was contributing vast sums
10 aid operate art, particularly one
that made mention of Mr.. Stotesbury )
wIping out deficit Of some S3LWn by
having that amount TO the metropolitan
opera Company.
"rhc largest sum, my share of any
deficit, paid in any one year was SloJ,
said Mr.. Stotesbury in answer to
question by Mr Vorhaus after tn; lat
ter had failed in his efforts to read the
newspaper articles.
The deficit referred to was made up
for the Metropolitan company at the
time il gave a number Of performances
each week in Philadelphia.
In his opening address Mr.. Smytn
told the Jury that the $50 $50 was ad-
vanced by Mr.. Stotesbury to Mr.. Ham
merstein TO tide the Philadelphia Opera
House of the latter over the season OF
1910. Mr.. Smith said that the
amount was advanced gradually TO
make up the deficit in the payroll oil
the artists, and that it was not until
the end OF the season that either plain
tiff or defendant knew the actual
amount of the advance.
The streetcar strike in Philadelphia
i'm 1910 forced Mr.. Hammersten TO
close his opera house in February, Mr..
Smvth said. but with the aid OF the
money advanced by Mr.. Stotesbnry the
impresario was able TO resume per-
formances In March.
