TURKISH PROBLEM ACUTE
IN PEACE CONFERENCE

Paris, May 21-21-(By the A. 2. J.
The Turkish problem has become most
acute in the peace conference. Vari-
Gus delegations are striving to find
some solution for the dismemberment
of the empire which will not provoke
religious war.
The United States is being looked to
by the other powers as the only nation
which can become the mandatory for
Constantinople without the danger of
precipitating another European war,
but the American delegates to the
peace conference express doubt of the
willingness OF the United States to
accept the mandate, especially under
the conditions which the powers have
outlined.
With the sultan removed from Con-
stantinople, the American delegates
expressed the belief that it might be
possible for the American public to
become reconciled to the mandate,
However, the Indian delegation which
has appeared before the council of
four to plead for special consideration
for the feelings of the Mohammedan
world, assert that the sultan must not
bef forced out of Constantinople, de-
claring that such action would & r.esS- p
ly affect his standing in the church
Consequently, Great Britain is seeking
to have the sultan remain in Constan
tinople as head of the Moslem faith
but with purely spiritual powers.

NAVY MAY HAVE FLEET
OF SCOUTING AIRCRAFT

Washington, May 21.-Construction
of a fleet of scouting aircraft of the
dirigible or lighter than air type as an
adjunct to the American naval forces
is expected by we'll informed naval
officers to be recommended by the gen
eral board of the navy in its report to
be submitted within a few days to
Secretary Daniels. While the report
which has been in preparation for the
past month. probably will include rec
concentrations for every branch of the
naval service, the section dealing with
development of a peacetime aerial
policy is considered of greatest impor-
tance.
The new naval air policy, some Off
GERS believe, will include recommends
tions that the United States adopt a
| type of aircraft heretofore not used ir
| connection with the naval establish
ment, based on the fundamental prin-
Leiples Of the German Zeppelin plus
| improvements worked out by Grea
Britain and ideas gained by American
aircraft experts during the war anC
from the recent fight of the lost diri
gible CO from Montauk, n. Y. tt
! Newfoundland.
Secretary Daniels. in discussing thu
program today, said that in his opin
/ ion the navy should make no effor
toward any large aerial expansion dur
! ing the next year or two, but shoult
| develop the bulk of its effort in eX
| perimentation and improvements or
existing types,

frage for women was endorsed by the

adopted by a vote of 304 to SO. Sup
porters of the measure Immediately ar
ranged to carry the fight to the senate,
where, although twice defeated at the

tanning the necessary tWo-thirds vote
The victory for the suffrage forces
today was AZ votes more than the re-
uired two thirds. On the previous
ballot on the resolution, cast January
10, 1918, exactly the necessary number
of affirmative votes were recorded.

brief debate preceding today's vote
urged favorable action but many
southern democrats opposed the meas
ure as did several New England re-
publicans.
The favorable vote was more by

cording to a cable dispatch received
here today. Lady Paget was married
in 1873, and was swell known in New
York, London and Continental society,
and prior to the war her home in Lon
don was freuented by leaders in the
world of society, literature. and art,
and she was especially popular dur
ing the reign of King Edward VII.
In charitable work Lady Paget was
very prominent. During the Boer
war she equipped the hospital ship
Maine, and at the outbreak of the
present war she was active in tile
work of the committee appointed by
Queen Mary to take charge of provid :
in gsocks, her appeal for aid in knit
ting to American women having
brought forth a nation wide response,
She maintained . hospital in Serbia

with the American Red Cross. In
1917 she was made a Dame of the Or
der of the British Empire.
Prior to the war, when her husband

PLAN TO MINIMIZE THE
DANGER OF NIGHT FLYING

Atlantic City, n. j.. May 21-Tak-
ing advantage of the convention here
of the National Electric Light AS
sociation, aeronautic authorities at
tending the American aeronauti-
cal convention held conference with
several of the electrical experts to-
day with view of minimizing the
danger of night flying.
Cooperative action toward special
tests in working out standardization
of aviation field. illumination was
agreed to at the conference Expert
ments will be made at the Atlantic
City air port and the conclusion
reached will serve as a sample for the
fields and ports throughout the coun-
try, it was announced.
The plan under considera ton by the
conference had to do with the illumin-
alton of the terrain to sufficient de-
gree to bring about all its features
the runWays, ground hazards, wires
buildings together with the limitation
of the fields. The lighting of aero
planes as an additional factor was
considered as safety plan. 1t is pro-
posed to have the planes carry lights
port and starboard the same as any
other vessel and tail lights to give 9TH
er flyers the direction. Powerful pro-
jected lights from beneath the air
plane that will enable the pilot TO swim
over field and by playing his lights
on the terrain below discover what is
there, will be perfected.

Plan to Finance
Rep. Campaign
Not More Than $1,000 to be
Received From Any Indi-
vidual.

Washington, May 81. = Chairman
Hays of the republican national COM
mittee announced today no contribu-
ton of more than one thousand dollars
would be received from anyone for the
financing of the coming republican
campaign and launched a plan of
countrywide small individual subscrip-
tions.
The new plan marks the passing of
great contributions from corporations
and individuals, long the subject of
attack by the republican party's politi-
cal opponents The new plan, Mr.
Hays announced. involves the decen-
tra1ization of money raising into the
very smallest contributions from the
smallest units of territory. The chair
man will outline the new plan in detail
at a conference here tomorrow and
! Friday with the republican state
chairmen.
Everyone recognizes the necessity
of meeting legitimate campaign eXpen-
ditures," said Mr.. Hays. There is jus
one way for this money to be provided
! and that is by means of small contr1-
| buttons from the great membership O
the party. This plan will be followed
completely. A general committee o
ways and means will carry this Worl
into each state The purpose will b.
to have these sustaining contributions
run from year to year and in amounts
from one dollar up. No contribution o
more than thousand dollars Will b.
received from anyone"
4 Chairman Hays added that tn
financing of the republican campaign
would be an open book and that i
would accord with the best spirit o
/ the campaign publicity laws of tn
nation and the states"
Norwich bulletin., 1919-05-22

Efforts of opponents to amend the
resolution were unavailing. ReDpre-
sentative Clark of Florida, democrat,
leader of the opposition proposed that
the state ratification be compulsory
within seven years and Representative
Saunders of Virginia, democrat, sought
to compel state adoption by popular
vote. The overwhelming denial of
roll call on these proposals by vote
of PA to 50 preceded the vote of adop-
tion and indicated the relative
strength of the resolutions supporters
and opponents.
Suffrage organization leaders pre-
dicted victory in the senate due 10
/ changes in membership. It is expected
| the resolution will come up for a vote
early next month in that body,
| Both Republican Leader MondeII and
! Democratic Leader Clark asked adop-
ton of the resolution. the latter refer
ring to President Wilson's reuest for
| such action. while Mr.. Mondell praised
the republican members for their atti-
tude. pointing out that adoption of the
! resolution was the first legislative act
| of the new congress
The only republican to sneak against
! the resolution was Representative
tocht of Pennsylvania, who asserted
that his objection would remain un-
changed if his political defeat was Ger
tain. He added that mo man from
New York, Pennsylvania or Ohio. down
in his heart, favors this thing"

AVIATOR RAYNHAM ASKS
FOR ANOTHER NAVIGATOR

st. Johns. n. f.. May 21.-Captain
Frederick p Raynham, the British
aviator whose Martinsyde plane was
wrecked when he tried to take off
Sunday in the wake of Harry Hawker.
today cabled builders of his machine
in England asking that another trans
Atlantic navigator be appointed to re-
place Captain Charles W. F. Morgan,
declared by physicians to be "out of
the Atlantic race" because of in
juries sustained in the accident.
The British airman also cabled that
repairs on the broken Martinsyde, al
ready under way, involved the virtual
building of another craft from spare
parts here.
Filters here tonight advanced but one
idea to account for the complete dis
appearance of Hawker and his Sop
with plane. That is that the unfortu-
nate little craft was forced into the
ocean within an hour or two of its
start from this coast and sank almost
immediately

CUSTOMER OWNERSHIP"
OE PUBLIC UTILITIES

Atlantic City. y. J., May 21.-"Cus-
toner ownership rather than public
ownership of public utilities was ad-
vocated in a report submitted to the
convention OF the National Electric
Light Association in session here to-
day.
Customer ownership" the report
stated, tends TO destroy the exclusive
and privileged atmosphere which here
iofore has surrounded the majority Of
service companies. 1t represents a
willingness on the part of companies
20 take the public into partnership and
aims At ownership by the many. Pre-
ferred stock. usually with a seven per

sirable security for customer con-
sumption.

HOPE FOR THE SAFETY
OF HAWkER ABANDONED

st. Johns, N. F., May 21.-Hope
for the safety of Harry G. Hawker
and Commander Mackenzie Grieve,
missing since they set out Sunday in
their Sopwith biplane for Ireland,
was virtually abandoned today by
the British fiiers preparing here to
take wing in their wake.
Undaunted by the Sopwith's dis
appearance, members of the other
aoross-ocean expeditions today con-
tinued to make plans for flights with
the next full moon. three weeks
hence. From Harbor Grace came
word that the Handley-Pa super
bomber would be in the air within
ten days.
Captain Alcock of. the Anglo
American team, which will attempt
a flight in a Vinly bomber. expects
his machine to reach here tomorrow
or Friday. He will use as his base
the Mount Pearl plateau airdrome
vacated by Hawker. Flying light to
Harbor Grace he will there take on a
! full load of S65 gallons of gasoline
| before hopping off. His plane will
have a range of 2.440 miles. He will
carry as life saving equipment only
an inflatable vest, as he considers
other contrivances of such doubtful
/ value that he will not burden his
machine with them

AGENTS OF IRISH SOCIETIES
MAKE PUBLIC A LETTER

Paris, May 21.-Frank P. Walsh,
Edward f. Dunno and Michael ]. Ryan.
the representatives of Irish societies
in the United States, have made pub
lie letter addressed to President
Wilson, asking for permission to pre-
sent to him personally the matter of
safe conducts to Paris for Edward De
Valera, Arthur Griffith and Count
Plunkett. as well as certain facts of
grave import now in our possession
The letter gives the history of the
case, showing that on April II Colonel
House requested Mr.. Lloyd George that
safe conducts be given the three Irish
leaders as representatives of Ireland
to the peace conference. On the day
following Colonel House informed
them that Mr.. Lloyd George was will
ing to comply but desired an interview
with the Irish American delegation be-
fore doing so.
After two tentative dates had beer
set by the British premier and, not
having been received, they were ad-
vised by Colonel House to repeat the
request through Secretary Lansing
who laid it before the president, t.
whom an appeal for a personal hear.

in view of existing conditions il

close its case by refusing hearing t.

| Colonel House said tonight that tn,

had informed the delegation that Nh
Lloyd George was willing to compI,
wit htheir request for safe conduct
for the Irish leaders. The request fo
safe conducts had been made. but NJ
lreply that the request would be com
piled with.
Colonel House says that the reques
was unofficial except, as the delegate
stated, the president had referred then
I to him
