PARIS, Oct 15.-The United States did
not sign the International Air Conven-
ton Monday. although 1t is recognized
as one of the most important agree
reason that the American Patent Office
objected to some of its provisions. 1t was
explained to-day. The American Mis-
sion did not agree with the contentlons
of the Patent Office, but was forced to
grant it's request for more time to study
the agreement and to withhold its sig
nature
The Patent Office contended that the
agreement deprived the United States
of jurisdiction over prosecutions for
patent infringements for the reason that
under the terms of the convention If a
foreign machine containing n device
which infringed an American patent
landed in the United States no prosecu-
ton coutl be instituted. Americans here
believe that eventually this contention
will be waived.
The United States and Japan are the
only two nations represented here which
did not sign this agreement, which
marks the greatest advance made so
far in the regulation of aerial naviga-
ton, as it places international flying
under laws corresponding to those OF
the sea. All the neutrals. II is believed
will approve the agreement later.
Under this convention all aircraft
must carry national insignia like ships
at sea, and pilots must be registered
Arships at night must carry a red light
on the port side and a green one on
the starboard, must pass each other to
the right. and IL the craft is an aero
bus. carrying a dozen passengers or
more, must have wireless apparatus.
machine disobeying these rules can
be detained in any country In which II
lands.
1t is significant that no rules have
been drawn up yet regarding customs
regulations in aerial navigation. Great
Britain is not in accord with France in
this matter. contending for. strict regu-
atlons. Another point left unsettled,
but to be determined at a~fneeting In
the near future. is the question of an
aerial signal code. No good system has
been worked out yet. but several ten
tative codes are to be studied and their
best features combined.
The new convention is more important
for Europe than for America at pres
ent. because flying over the frontiers
here is very general now, while in
America international flying is confined
TO three countries. Canada. the Urited
States and Mexico.

WANTS NAVAL PAY
ON SLIDING SCALE
MCGOWAN Would Adjust Com

of Living.
WOULD COST S131,000,00
Chief Of Bureau of Supplies
Tells House Committee Men
Need Increase.
WOULD COST S131, OOO,OO0'

WARRINGTON, Oct. 15.-Frequent add
justment of naval pay schedules accord
ing to changes in the cost of living was
recommended to the House Naval Affairs
Committee today by Rear Admiral
Samuel MCGOWAN, Chief of the Navy
Bureau of Supplies and Accounts
He suggested that the pay be In
creased or decreas ed hereafter in the
same percentage as the average Increase
or decrease in the prices of all necessi-
ties. This could be done through a
system of index numbers such as are
now in use by the Department Of Labor
which show that the cost of living has
gone up so per cent. since 1914, he said
For this reason Admiral MCGOWAN asked
that Navy pay schedules for the pres
ent be increased so per cent. over the
amounts of 1914. This would mean an
additional expenditure of $4,000, 900
annually, he said
This would not mean so per cent
over the present schedules since they
were increased shortly after the war;
he said. "but It would bring the pay
up to the high figure set by the cost of
living. Then If the cost of living can
be reduced. I am sure that naval officers
and men would he willing to have their

the Navy when moro lucrative work is
being offered them elsewhere.
81 believe the increase should be made
all along the line because the Admirals
and Captains are feeling the pinch of
high prices rs well as the Junior officers
and enlisted men, I know OF Rear
Admiral who has been compelled to re-
duce his life insurance because his salary
is inadequate"
Representative Kelley (Mich) indi-
Gated that he favored larger per cent.
increases for the men of lower ranks
than the higher officers. pointing out
that Rear Admirnls at sea now receive
$4,000 and 9400 ashore.
But the trouble is" Rear Admiral
MCGOWAN continued that many officers
are not able to pay their bills on pres
ent schedules and are not living as well
as they did several years ago. when they
had a lower rank. Certainly the Gov.
eminent does not want to treat in this
manner the men who served during the
war and wish to continue to serve their
country"
The Chief Paymaster also urged that
increased allowances be given to mid
shipmen at Annapolis Representative
Hicks IN. " pointed out that officers
at sea have bedding. toilet articles and
other equipment furnished them, while
the midshipmen must pay for all of this
out of their pay.

Senate to Refuse Request OF

Special Despatch to Tnr SUI.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 15.--The request OF

sional sanction TO the despatch of an
American expedtionary force into the
former domain of the Sultan of Turkey
for the purpose of succorlng the embry-

The subcommittee has been delaying
report on the resolution of Senator
Williams proffering the aid of the Amer

menia by reason of the enforced mac
tivity and the inaccessibility of the Pres
ident. But as the matter shortly must

row admitted that when the report is
produced 1t will be adverse.
1t is believed that the Foreign Rela-
tons Committee will be prompt to sus-
tain the recommendations of the sub
committee and when the resolution Of
Senator Williams makes its appearance
in the Senate. if 1t ever does, drubbing
VIII doubtless be administered there as
well.
Senator Harding expressed the opinion
to day that Congress would interpose no
obstacles to the recruiting on American
soil of an eXpedltionary force Of Ar
menians to go to the relief and support
of the. land of their nativity or extrac-
ton. He also said Congress might be
willing even to support such a move
