Self Government and
Loan Of $30,000,000
Asked by Porto Rico

San Juan, July II, (By the Asso-
ciated Press. 1.-The Porto Rican
legislatures has been asked to send
a commission to Washington to ask
ask congress for loan of $4,000,
900 and for legislation to prevent
monopoly of land in Porto Rico by
large corporations. 1t has been
proposed also that the commission
should ask for a preferential tariff
on coffee and for the establish
ment of bank for making loans to
farmers.
Advocates of the proposal want
the $30,000,000 for educational pur-
poses, irrigation, freight steamers,
to pay off the islands debt and
other purposes.
1t is proposed that the commits
sion should ask congress to grant
the island complete self-government.
These suggestions have aroused
some opposition. Representative
Lastra, has declared. that the Porto
Rican legislature has full authority
to deal with the land monopoly
question and that the bills in the

Officer Gets Tobacco

H. J. Wilson, an architect of Pc
terborough, England, formerly a
lieutenant in the Northumberland
Fusiliers and taken prisoner by the
Germans in the March drive OF
1918, received through the mails to-
day package of tobacco which had
been forwarded by his family to him
at the German prison camp at Ras-
TAFT in May of last year.
The tobacco had been held up
somewhere along the line and was
not delivered until after Wilson had
left Germany after the armistice.
But some conscientious German had
taken the pains to burrow into the
records, find where Wilson enlisted
and forward the tobacco to that ad-
dress.
A heartless British customs serv-
ice appended a duty Of eight shil-

The beach at Manawa has a pa
tronage of several thousand every
day and it is planned little later in
the season to hold a number OF
swimming events between the ex-
pert swimmers.
One of the interesting features of
the Western Union picnic held ON
the beach Saturday was a water
polo game, with complete team on
each side. The members were all
good swimmers, and with the equip
ment supplied by the park hot con-
test was held.
Manawa has been using its high
powered electric launches to their
capacity all summer to accomro-
date the crowds crossing the lake
and the number of rowboats in use
exceeds that in any previous season.

FOLLOW LEAGUE
Senator Borah Denies Disar-
mament Will Come With
Covenant; Foresees Great
War Program.

Washington, July 12.-Denying
that disarmament is to be brought
about through the league of nations,
Senator Borah of Idaho in a speech
in the senate also asserted that un-
less CONSUMPTION were enforced it
would be utterly impossible to carry
out article and certain other phases
of the league covenant.
"These two principles-the estab-
lshment of the freedom Of the seas
and the elimination of CONSUMPTION
were the two great principles
which were promised to the people
of the world by the men who con-
trolled and shaped affairs at YER
sailles before they went there said
Senator Borah. And the very fact
that both of these things, the very
basis of navalism and militarism
were eliminated, rejected out of
hand, must be satisfactory proof to
any rejecting man that, whatever
they thought before they met, they
came to the conclusion that disarma-
ment was not practical That is
what the people should be told, that
they have not provided for disarma-
ment because they found that it was
impracticable to do so. 1t is a sys-
tenn of Misrepresentation, seldom
excelled, to tell the people, after
these broken promises, that disarma-
ment is to follow"
Instead of disarmament, Senator
Borah said there is to be "the most
stupendous program of ornaments
which the world has ever contem-
plated in time of peace" Senator
Borah referred to the fact that Eng
land is today raising an army of
close to a million men and that it
will be raised "by CONSUMPTION in
time of peace" He declared the
volunteer system could never be re-
lied upon to send soldiers to protect
the territorial integrity of the ma
tons of Europe and Asia.
."And just so surely as we enter
this league of nations and the obi
cations of articles and XII are i'm
posed upon us and the conditions
of those articles are to be carried
out by finding American boys to per-
form the services which will be re-

LARGE AIRSH|pS
Navy Bill Authorizes Purchase
Of Dirigible Of Zeppelin
Type and Building Of
Other Airships.

Washington, July l2.-Acting I'M
der specific authority granted in the
new naval appropriation bill, the
Navy department soon will start
construction on two of the largest
dirigible hangers in the world. Rear
Admirals Taylor and Parks, heads
of the bureaus Of construction and
repairs and yards and docks, re-
spectively, today had instructions
to speed up the preparation of the
working plans, as an expenditure Of
about S3,s00,000 for two hangers &c
house flying machines of the Yep.
pelin type has been authorized. They
will be located on the seaboard
probably in New Jersey, and pos
sibly on the same site.
Ground area necessary for the
construction of double hangar viii
be about one square mile. Each
hangar will be about 800 feet long
$50 feet wide and from $50 to zoe
feet high. 1t is probable that al
steel construction will be used and
officials estimate that from six tc
eight months will be needed fol
their erection.
Provision for the purchase abroa'
of Zeppelin type airship at cost
not to exceed $2,500,000 is made il
the naval bill, and the construction
in this country of similar machine
at a cost Of 81 100000. It is prob.
able that the machine purchased
abroad will be of the British R-34
model, although larger. 1t probably
will be flown to this country by an
American crew, the only other al
tentative being to attempt to tow
it by cables made fast to ship
Negotiations looking to the pur-
chase have already been entered in
to with foreign nations.
After experiments with the for
eign craft the construction of an i'm
proved American built machine will
be started.
Secretary Daniels said tonight
that no had no further statement to
make regarding the rumored trans
Pacific flight. Naval officers be-
lieve, however, that such a flight
will be attempted shortly after the
! navy comes into possession of its
first cruising dirigible.
