The present government, he said.

Earl Curzon said he was thorough
~ astonished when he read in the
newspapers proposals made by re
sponsible persons that the right
thing to do ut this emergency was to
place generals and admirals inside
the cabinet. The strange thing about
this suggestion he said, was that it
was made by those who "shrieked
about German militarism"
Let the generals and admirals" he
continued. attend cabinet meetings
as they do every day and advise cab
met ministers. but the moment a sol
der is placed in control of policy and

ment late today defending himself aud
Gutzon Borglum in connection with tie
disclosures made IN Washington or
Borglum's alleged activities in aircraft
schemes.
MIR. Borglum washed his hands Of
all connection with negotiations looking
to our organization Of an airplane man
ufacturing enterprise as soon as Fresi-
dent Wilson granted him authority to
investigate the handling of aircraft pro
duction,' said Gibson in making public
He ADDED that mad the corporation that

facture of alrplane propel!ers in this
city and that mutual friend introduced
him TO Borslum. who was intereste
in airplares and propeller designing.
Borg lum was actuated wholly by pa
trioric motives in the investigation he
undertook because he was one of those
who were crazed by the rotten manner
in which the aircraft program Wa being

In his formal statement Gibson denied
that he had told II. s. Suplee that he
had authority or opportunity" to nfu-

Our light forces have returned to
their base with the loss on one motor
launch, which had been damaged and

o'clock this morning and lasted I'M
Ill 8 o'clock. The bombardment was
very heavy and could be heard at
Dover.
The night was clear, with the stars
shining brilliantly, but there was a
haze over the sea.
The Nindictive came under fierce
fire from the German shore batteries
as Ostend was approached. She was
navisated close into the pier in fine
style and sunk by an internal charge.
The crew escaped in fast motor boats.

of her total loss. These, on signal,
swarmed up from the enginerooms

The small boats were under heavy
gun fire all the time while they were
transferring the crew to waiting de-
stroyers.
