Denies Aircraft Of
/. A. E. F. Destroyed
in Wanton Manner

Washington, Aug. 4.-Denial that
any aircraft. of the A. E. F. was
wantonly destroyed, was made to-
day by Cob Mason M. Patrick, for
mer chief of air service abroad, ap-
pearing before house war investi-
eating committee.
That any planes were burned
needlessly or wastefully is incor-
rect" declared Colonel Patrick.
None that it would be economical
to keep were destroyed"
Destruction of the machines fol-
lowed efforts to sell them which,
failing, resulted in the salvage as
junk of parts. None was offered
for sale or destroyed, Colonel Pat
rick said, until after an. inventory
had proved their worthlessness..
Colonel Patrick said that when
the armistice was signed the United
States had about one-fourth the
number of planes on the front that
should have been there, considering
the size of the front line army. He
gave $40 planes as the number of
machines actually at the front, of
which 2l3 were built in this country.
Falling down in the training of
aviators rather than inability to get
planes caused the insufficient force,
Colonel Patrick said.

Naval Pageant Staged
On Thames In Honor
, OF British Seamen

London, Aug. 4.-The important
role played by the British sea serv-
ices during the great war was COM
memorated today by naval pageant
on the Thames, the day marking the
fifth anniversary of the historic mo-
bilization of the British fleet. Plans
for the event, while giving recog-
milton to the allied and associated
powers, laid stress on the fact that
this was a purely British occasion.
Days when the Thames was the
'Ning's highway" and when the peo-
pie of London used boats just as
their descendants of today use taxi
cabs, were recalled by the appear
ance of King Georges royal barge.
This craft was built more than 200
years ago for Queen Mary and King
William, and was richly ornamented
with crimson and gold.
In planning the celebration efforts
were made to symbolic the devel-
opment of Great Britain's naval
power and typify the connection be-
tween the navy and the mercantile
marine.

and Are Not Curbed Until
Early Morning-Police
On Strike. six.

Liverpool, Aug. 4-Riotous
crowds were driven from the streets
of this city this morning by troops
charging with fixed bayonets. The
rioters filled the streets during the
night and it was not until daybreak
that the soldiers were ordered to
charge. The cruiser Valiant and two
destroyers have. moved into Mersey
river to protect the docks.
The employees of bus and tram
way lines failed to report for work
this morning. Ne notice of strike
had been given, but it is not believed
that the movement was undertaken
in sympathy with the policeman's
strike.
Rioting Saturday as a result of the
police strike, did not cease until
nearly 4 o'clock Sunday morning.
Many persons were slightly injured
during the course of stone-throwing
on the part of the rioters and
charges by the troops.
The riots were resumed today.
Many more shops were looted and
serious disorder occurred when
troops were called to stop the sack
ing of stores in Lodge Lane, lead
ing to a conflict between the riot
ers and troops, in which one man
was severely wounded.
A mass meeting of 5000 trade
unionists in the stadium Sunday
night adopted a resolution declar-
ing common cause with the police
strikers, but deprecating looting on
the ground that it gave the govern
ment an excuse for employing the
military.
Approximately half the police
force is striking. 1t is reported
that more troops and some tanks
have been ordered TO the city.

Paris, March 22.-The Italian dele
cation to the peace conference has
unanimously decided to withdraw from
the peace conference unless Flume is
assigned to Italy contemporaneously
with the conclusion of peace.
The decision of the italian delega-
ton, as reported from Paris, apparent
ly brings to a head the bitter contro'
versy between Italy and the new Jugo-
Slav state over the disposition of lanu
along the Adriatic. formerly belonging
to the AustrO-Hungarian empire, Wnlch
both nationalities claim.
Italy's claims originally included viz
tually the entire Dalmatian coast
with Trieste and Fiume. which latter
city is the second principal seaport
on the eastern side of the Adriatic.
Recent reports have been that the
Italian representatives were manifest
ing a disposition to make important
concessions regarding the land along
the Dalmatian coast, provided the city
and harbor of Fiume remained 10
Italy.
The Jugo- Slavs, however, have been
insistent that this port be allotted 10
them, claiming it to be essentially a
Croatian city and necessary to the
new Jugo-Slav state as affording the
only feasible, suitable sea outlet for
her commerce.
| On the other hand, there has been
no disposition on the part of Italy tc
yield her point so far as Fiume was
concerned. Her attitude was officially
stated by Premier Orlando In address
ing the italian chamber of deputies

Italy remained faithful to the spiri
