Secretary Daniels Sees in
North Sea Fight Value Of j.
Such Aircraft.
HAS PLANS TO HASTEN
DEVELOPMENT HERE
Expects to Call Conference of Avia-
ton Officials to Consider Steps
in That Direction.

Construction by the Navy De-
partment of dirigible aircraft of
the Zeppelin type may be urged
by Secretary Danials in the near
future, as a result of the North
sea battle and the sloWness of
commercial development of such
construction in this country.
Naval officers here agreed today
that the meager details thus far
received of the battle pointed to
the superior scouting ability of
the German fleet through Yep
pelins as the factor which
brought heavy loss upon the
British.
AT first blush" Secretary Daniels said.
lit looks as though the Germans had eyes
in the air and the British had not. or
course, fuller information may change
matters we can reach no definite conclu-
sion as yet. Still the Zeppelins seem to
have played big part in this battle.
Hopes to Speed Up Development.
The Secretary plans to call confer
ence of aviation officials of the depart
ment Immediately to consider ways and
means of speeding paircraft develop
ment generally. 1t has not been lack of
funds, but failure to find suitable motors
for aerial work and flying boats of salts
factory range and power, which has held
back development of the navy's air fleet,
he said. MIR. Daniels approved the pro-
vision of the House naval bill passed yes
terday which gives d blanket appropria-
ton of more than 100000 for aviation
without endeavoring to specify the num-
bers or types of aircraft to be acquired.
A monster aeroplane designed by naval
constructors is now being built at the
navy yard here. Secretary Daniels in
dictated today that he believed it would be
necessary for the department to go more
heavily into experimental construction of
aircraft of all types if adequate develop
ment is to follow.
The Zeppelin problem will prove a
hard nut to crack. navy officers say.
They have information that the Brit
ish have been bending every effort to
the production of a fleet to meet the
German battle craft of the air on equal
terms, but thus far have not succeeded
In constructing a single dirigible that
has proved satisfactory.

ONE QUESTION INVOLVED
IN LOSS OF THE MARINA
Was Ship a Transport as German
Commander Thoughtful. S. Is
Making Inquiries.

1t was officially stated today that the
case of the British ship Marina, de-
stroyed by a German submarine with
loss of six Americans. has narrowed
down solely to whether the Marina
was. as the German commander
thought. a transport. or whether she
enjoyed the immunities of chartered
snip. Inquiries have been made OF the
owners and the British admiralty and
several days may elapse before the
case can be decided.
Germany has given notice of will
fngness to take action satisfactory to
the United States ii the subma rine
commander broke pledges.
II the ship was in public service prior
to being torpedoed. some State Depart
ment officials take the position that
the presumption was in favor of the
position that an enemy might have be-
lieved her still 10 he transport at the
time of the attack. In order to clear
up that point, the nature of her pre-
vious charter. the orders under which
she was sailing and the character of
her officers and crew will be investi-
gated
make ruling on what constitutes a
vessel in public service in time OF war
until decision has been handed down
in the case of the Italian vessel At
tualita. Ebeled in the United States
court at Newport News. Va. after a
collision with Greek vessel. The point
at issue is somewhat similar to that
involved in the Marina incident. as the
character of the Attualita is disputed.

The speaker began his recital with
the founding of the city on the Bos

his day., the Emperor Constantine the
Great, who. popular belief to the con-
trary, was not Christian emperor,
but was always ION the fence" in re-
ligous matters. Selling whatever adj
vantage might come with the espousal
both of the Christian cause and of
pagan rites. But Constantinople
eventually became the cradle of the
creed which has finally been adopted by
all the peoples of the Christian world

faith known as the Nicene creed. the
cardinal tenet of which is Il believe
in one God"
The tracing of the onward march of
the Mongols from Asia. led at first by

and Tamerlane, was followed by the
story of the fall of Constantinople in
