laid down by the Council. Whether
or not all of these will be agreed to
by the other parties is question.

WASHINGTON, May 16-Ar-
rival at Trepassey Bay of the de-
layed NC-4 and the probability
that she will be ready for the
'hop-off" with her sister sea-
planes, the NC-1 and NC-S, late to-
day or tomorrow, has heightened
interest in naval circles in the pro-
posed transatlantic fight.
The breaking away from her
moorings at st. Johns N f. yester-
day of the dirigible C-5, and subse-
suent damage when the nib blimp
was blown far out to sea, has ef-
fectually terminated the plan to
send that craft across the ocean.
The navy department still was
without official advice from the
destroyer Edwards concerning the
dirigible.

terms show evidence of compromises
on several points and that sense Of
moderation is evident. Many of the
demands on Germany are only tenn
porary in character but amelioration
of some of the terms ought to be OBJ

clares.
Germany must say mo" to the ac-

he says.
1t was pointed out today in con-
nection with the stipulation as to the
ratification of the German treaty that
any nation which withheld ratihca-
ion after three of the principal pow
ers had ratified would be at a disad-
vantage in a commercial way. This
would follow from the fact that the
ratifying powers would be able to
resume trade relations with Germany
at once while the states that delayed
would have no such privilege.
