serting that any censorship upon news

common people of America uttered at
the election" the statement said:
"Sixty senators of the total of rs,
democrats as we'll as republicans among
them, share the opinion expressed by
the 80 signatories to the Knox Lodge
resolution. Mr.. Hughes. Mr.. Bryan and
even Mr.. Taft say that the constitution
as proposed requires amendment"
Mr.. Mccormick said the peace con-
ferees should first make peace with Ger

Lodge and Knox. republicans, and SEN
ator Hitchcock, democrat, to the peace
conference and draft league of nations
plan which the American people and the

Livingston. March 15.-For nearly an
hour today Joseph e. Swindlehurst, be-
irg tried on a charge of murder for the
death of Oliver NJ. Harvey, testified
concerning the close friendship which
had existed between the two men for
many years and the gradual estrange-
mcnt and quarrels eliminating in the
fist fight and Harvey's death on the
evening OF December %.
Tie state closed it's case this morn
ing by putting Frances Harvey, daugh-
ter of the deceased, on the stand to
testify concerning her fathers physical
condition in late years. After introducing
several witnesses, the defense put
Swindlehurst on the stand.
Il had no intention of killing Mr.
Harvey" the defendant testified. "Never

tual naval disarmament, which
probably will be reflected later
at Paris in discussion Of limita-
tion of naval ornaments, are ex-
pected here to grow out Of the
forthcoming conferences be-
tween Secretary Daniels and his
aides and European admiralty
officials. The secretary sailed
today, accompanied by his three
chief technical advisors.
While the main object of the
trip is to gather information up
on which the navy department
can base a report to congress,
relative to the proposal to SUBJ
stitute gigantic composite cruis-
er battleships for present day
capital war vessels, the fact that
such a program would render all
existing fleets obsolete and that
its cost would be enormous, in
sure, in the view of many Off
cials here, that the project will
be taken up at the peace confer
ence.
PROGRAM WILL BE HELD UP.
Pending the return of the secretary
and more complete intra-service discus
sion, naval officials are inclined to de-
fer judgment as to the advisability of
adopting the composite ship program.
They take the view that, even in its
narrowest and strictly American aspect,
the proposal raises questions of such
far-reaching nature that individual opin-
ions should have no weight in arriving
at the answer. Only the consensus of the
seasoned and trained judgment of the
service, they argue, should be consider
ed by congress when the departments
report is presented.
In the view here, even the American
35-knot battle cruiser project, now
held up to await decision on the great
er question Of composite ships has in
it elements that make it more than a
purely national matter. Officers say
that if competitive naval building is to
continue other powers must provide
similar ships.
Britain Has Shown Concern.
1t is understood that progress toward
the construction of gigantic battle cruis-
ers. six of which already have been au-
thoriZed, has been watched with some
concern by British naval authorities.
since it has appeared likely they would
necessitate additions to the British ma
val budget. There is little doubt among
most officials here that the British
would welcome an international under
standing at Paris which would eliminate |
that source Of expenditure.
The standard fighting ship of today is |
uper-dreadnaught, in the American and |
British navies vessel with a speed of |
approximately 23 knots, an armament Of |
twelve 16-inch guns; an armor belt vary
ing from II to II inches in thickness,
and displacement of about $4,000 tons.

decided whether all four will be sent
over at the same time, but I believe
that more than one will start. This will
insure against total failure should one
or two break down."
Admiral Taylor said he was not GER
tain whether Mons stop trip would be
attempted.
"We may break it into two hops" he
said. ''and this will entail the use of
airpiane mother ships, vessels equipped
with oil, gasoline and food"
Thru their wireless apparatus" he
added, 'mother ships can keep in touch
with the flying boats. Altho the flying
boat may alight only once at sea, it is
possible that more than one mother ship
could be used"

NEUTRALs TO TAKE UP LEAGUE.

Paris, March 15.-President Wilson

been no change in the original plan for
