NEW PLAN DEVISED
TO USE FOES SHIPS
Allied Maritime Council to AL
locate Tonnage to Better
Advantage.

WASHINGTON, April 26.--Raymond b
Stevens. vice-chairman OF the Shipping
Board. announced to-day that the Alliec
Maritime Transport Council in Paris
had determined upon a new plan fol
the ALLEGATION of enemy shipping. The
announcement was made by Mr.. Stevens
following the receipt Of a cable from
the American delegates on the council
The message follows:
Notice is hereby given that ar
rangements have been made between
the associated Governments for the
use and management of enemy ton
mage acquired and ~ be acquired
since the conclusion OF hostilities).
AS to management the position is
that the ALLEGATION OF vessels for
management as between the as
ISOLATED Governments has been de-
termined according to the ability or
the respective Governments to bring
the vessels into speedy use, and in
the case OF passenger tonnage, &C.
cording to relative needs
The vessels will fly the flag of the
Allied Maritime Transport Council,
as we'll as the national flag Of the
country undertaking the manage
ment.
These arrangements in no way
prejudice the ultimate disposition or
the vessels by the terms Of peace
and it has been agreed that in the
discussion OF the ultimate disposition
no argument shall be founded on
their ALLEGATION for management or
service in the meantime.
1T has been further agreed that
the associated Governments will hold
as null and void from the standpoint
OF the final disposition Of the ships
any action such as the transfer OF
share in enemy shipping which Is
calculated to render It more difficult
to apply the principle that the interim
alloction of enemy tonnage for man
agement and use shall in no way
prejudice Its ultimate disposition"
Mr.. Stevens explained that the British
Italian and American delegates at tn
second meeting of the council in execu
tive session agreed upon a formal an
nouncement to be made public by thei
respective Governments. their decision
being influenced by the fact that specu
lative reports had resulted in a misunder
standing of the policy OF the ASSOCIATED
Governments with respect to the tempo
rary disposition of the acquired enem.

It, The Senator IL apparently the only

nunication with the President in Paris
and has become his spokesman here on
matters affecting the covenant.
Mr.. Hitchcock therefore 10 almost GER
tain to become the most prominent fig
ure when the treaty OF peace and the
covenant go before the Senate. The
President can tour the country IL he
wishes, talking about the league but he
cannot very we'll visit the Senate every
day and debate It. He will need Sena-
tor of experience and ability to be on the
ground and In Senator Hitchcock he APP
parently has found his man.
II the league Is approved by the
Senate Mr.. Wilson, may feel a sense OF
gratitude to Senator Hitchcock, which
will 60 far toward giving him support
In the next Democratic convention. II
the debate in the Senate lasts for con-
siderable time, as 1t seems certain 1t
will, Mr.. Hitchcock will have received
by that time a great amount Of publicity
and will have become figure as well
known almost as Mr.. McAdoo or Mr..
Baker without having made any par
ticular enemies among the rank and
file of his own party such as the others
have made through their long tenure Of
office.
Mr.. Hitchcock probably would have
the opposition of Mr.. Bryan, although
his championship OF the League of Ma
lions. which as amended Mr. Bryan is
expected to approve, may do much to
win support in that quarter. II is looked
upon here as doubtful that Mr.. Bryan
would in any case be SO violently OPP
posed to his fellow Nebraskan that he
would seriously oppose him IL the Presi-
dent desired his nomination.
Mr.. Hitchcock has been a good enough
politician consistently to beat Mr.. Bryan
in Nebraska and there Is little doubt
that he could bring his State delegation
solidly with him to the convention and
that he also could swing many other
middle Western delegations.

HYLAN IS SILENT
ON GERMAN CONCERT
Mayor Fails to Respond on
Police Protection.

No reply was forthcoming yesterday
from Mayor Hylan TO the request OF
Mrs. William Jay that he declare him
self on the propriety Of permitting con-
certs In the German language,
Reading in THE SUN yesterday about
Mrs. Jays letter and that notices of
two such concerts had been posted at
the Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Club
Christian Rebhan, president OF Der
Bayerlsche Volkfest Verein, seeming
trol BILE, forwarded another communica-
ton to the Mayor demanding police pro-
lection. His concert is to be held this
afternoon in the Yorkville Casino, Eigh-
ty-sixth street near Third avenue.
1.-The statements of Mrs Jay that
this concert Is a part of German propa-
sanda is an absolute, wilful. delibera tie
and malicious falsehood. which the So
ciety resents as uncalled for and wholly
unjustifiable, he declared. Not single
member of our society has been informed
or molested. so far as we are aware.
I'VE demand the equal protection Of
the laws and the right to enjoy our
selves in our own manner in a hall hired
for ourselves so long as we do not
transgress the law. But we demand at
your hands that we shall be free from
the intrusions of strangers or any at
tscks of any former soldiers, sailors or
otherwise, who have threatened to show
their disloyalty to the President OF the
United States and their disobedlence to
his public proclamation by their pro-
posed efforts to break up our concert
tomorrow afternoon"
Mr.. Rebhan said 1t was true that the
Madrigal Quartet is composed OF four
aliens and then quoted the proclamation
OF President Wilson referring TO alien
enemies at the time the war with Ger
many started to the effect that 30 long
as they conducted themselves in accord
ance with law they should be "undls-
turbed in the peaceful pursuit of their
lives and occupations"

READY
FOR NAVY'S FLIGHT
Coaled, Compliments Filled,
Awaiting the Finishing
Touches on Planes.

The mine layer Aroostook. mother
ship for the navy's tiny scouts which
will picket the course for the bigger
| transatlantic fiers. was moved yester-
day to a new anchorage Off Tompkins-
vile. The last of the MF honey
moon scouts will be flown to-day from
Rockaway and slowed on board with
her three sisters. and with this event
the navy's preparations for the over
seas flight may be described as having
entered what football team would call
secret practice.
Rear Admiral Plunkett, in command
of the destroyer escort for the transat-
lantic fiers left his flagship, the Roches-
ter. in the Brooklyn Navy Yard yester-
day and went to Washington, presum-
ably for a final conference on the flight.
"Our plans are all ready" said Ad-
miral Plunkett's chief of STAFF, but OF
course we can't talk OF them"
He refused to indicate the day of the
Aroostook's sailing or TO say whether
any Of the destroyers had yet put to
sea. The fact that Admiral Plunkett Is
not on board. coupled with the slower
speed of the Aroostook, indicates that
none OF the destroyers has yet been sent
out. Their compliments have been
filed up. however; they are coaled and
rows with little preparation.
A forty mile gale off Rockaway Beach
has kept tho NC boats. powerful craft
that they are, in their hangers, There
| is no doubt OF the ability Of the trans
atlantic oontenders to master such
weather as that of the last two days,
but the pilots are taking no chances.
| There is still much work to do In the
hangers and a big force Of mechanics
continue to hammer away in them. In
general the navy takes Sunday on, but
| II the weather should be favorable to-
day the transatlantic pilots will have an
other tuning up flight on the NC-3.
1t was officially stated that none OF
| the NC boats will be ready for a trans
! atlantic flight to-day. Some minor adj
| justments remain to be made on the en-.
CINE and gear of the NC-3, though the
propeller and carbureter troubles which
kept one of her engines idle on her last
fight have been cured.
! The two other members OF the team
NC-1 and NC-4, are still in the shops
and will not be put into the water unit
| late in the week. Their motor sets are
being rearranged like those of the NC-t
to place three abreast pulling and one
behind pushing. The work OF fitting the
wings of the abandoned NC-2 to the
fuselage OF the NC-1 has been virtually
completed.
| The ME- scouts, four OF which will &c
on the Aroostook. two to the Azores and
two to the Spanish coast, according &c
recent plans, are tiny two passenger
boats with a wing spread OF about forty
feet. a single eight cylinder motor ant
speed Of from seventy-ive to eighty
miles an hour. They will be manned b,
expert mechanics and Will carry few
spare parts for the big planes. bu
their most important work will be to 10
cate any OF the big planes that may fai
during the transatlantic flight and tc
report their whereabouts to the destroy
