Depth Bomb Inventor
Frequently Risked Lie
Defied Death in Experiments,
Calls y. S. Recognition Lot
of Fuss Over Nothing''
Special Correspondence

NEWPORT, R. L., Nov. 15.--"They
are making lot of fuss over nothinq'
is about all that Chester T. Minkler,
of this city, will say in regard to the
inv, ntion and perfection by him of the
depth bomb, which was used effectively
during the war and the credit for which
he has just been given by the Navy
Department.
Minkler is about thirty-s six years old,
and of unassuming nature. He is aot
inclined to talk Of his invention or
work as an ordnance engineer at the
Naval Torpedo Station, at which he has
been employed for several years.
Minkler also was responsible for the
mine used by the navy in the North
Sea and this, like the depth bomb, was
given to the government without cost,
Minkler turning over all of his pat
ents.
The experiments with the depth bomb
for the most part were carried on at
the torpedo station, but in the final
stage the Lac was used as sh expert
mental ship.
Minkler and his assistant, Harry
Adams. risked their lives and Minkler
frequently was out alone in small
boat lowering the bomb overheard for
testing purposes.

Oliver Denton, Pianist,
Heard at Carnegie Hall

Oliver Denton. we'll known to New
York as a pianist of parts, gave re-
cital yesterday afternoon at Aeolian
Hall before large audience. Mr.
Denton is sincere artist, possessed
of an excellent technique and good
musical intelligence. What he lacks
is sin tone color and residence of
touch, and his playing therefore loses
in ,hghtness and variety. His piece de
resistance yesterday was the MacDow-
fs'Sonata Eroica," of which he gave q
capable performance.
In the evening Miss Helene Handlers,
formerly of the Metropolitan Opera
Company. gave song recital in Car
negie Hall. Miss Handlers possesses a
fresh voice. uniform in timbre and Of
considerable power. She sang effec-
lively Dupont's "Les Caresses" and
Poldowski's "Dansons la Clique" In
all her French songs her clear enun-
citation was a conspicuous virtue, but a
virtue which did not extend to her
songs in English. She was warmly
welcomed by a large audience.

ion in the Lusitania matter was pur-

ton to Justify withdrawal Of the
American note.

United States kept the~Lusitania mat
ter in allegiance in order to use it as a

President Wilson had stood squarely
on the principle of Secretary Lansing's
note at that time, the lives Of millions
of people would have been saved"
Count Won Bernstein interrupted DR..
Helfferich in the course of the latter's
discussion Of American neutrality.
The question Of peace was not dis
posed of definitely with President
Wilson's personal attitude, said Count
Won Bernstorff, because his election
had given him mandatory notification
that peace was expected Of him and
he was to restore peace, as that was
virtually the platform upon which he
was elected.
1--WE were not confronted by an indi-
vidual unworthy of our confidence"
said the ambassador, "but by the en-
phatic views of the American people.
We, therefore,, were. not concerned
with the question whether President
Wilson was reliable, but with the fact
that the American people had given
expression to their desire"

Helferich Fined
SIS for Refusing
To Answer Cohen
Former Vicc-Chancellor AS
serts Lansing's Policy
Would Have Made Peace
in 1916 and Saved Lives

BERLIN, Nov. Is (By The Associated
Press) DIR. Karl Helfferich, former
German Vice Chancellor, appearing as
witness again to-day at the inquiry
of the subcommittee of the National
Assembly, was fined 800 marks ($75)
for refusing to answer a question.
The question was submitted by Dep
uty Cohen. DR.. Helfferich said he
never had answered direct question
from Cohen and did not intend to in
the future.
After long discussion by the dep
uties the fine was imposed. The presi-
dent of the committee, Herr Wermuth,
disagreed with this decision and re-
linquished his seat. He was replaced
by Deputy Gothein, whereupon the pub
lie session was suspended amid great
excitement.
Lansing's Note Discussed
The subcommittee to-day discussed
the note of Secretary Lansing which
was alleged to have proposed that if
the German submarines would confine
themselves to cruiser warfare, mer-
chant ships no longer would be armed
DR.. Helfferich declared if these
propositions had been carried out, the
result would have been the conclud-
ing OIL peace IN 1915, and IN cOnSe-
quence the note Of Secretary Lansing
would have had a decisive effect on
the war, and perhaps an historic
significance.
II gained the conviction, however"
said DR.. Helfferich, chat Secretary
Lansing and President Wilson were
not always intimately cooperating.
After the despatch of the Lansing
note, President Wilson's English
friends attempted to counteract it bv
reviving the Lusitania incident. We
suddenly found ourselves compelled to
admit the illegality of the sinking of
the Lusitania, as otherwise a casus

NOT ALL IMPRESSED ALIKE
Curious to Note the Different Behavior
Of Animals In the Vicinity Of
Wars Alarms.

Some interesting notes have been
made In regard to the behavior Of vari-
GUS animals under the terrific condi-
lions Of noise, vibration, explosion and
other disturbances at the front. Thus
1t seems clear that some kinds of birds
under the dominance Of instincts Of
feeding, nesting or broodlng, behave as
II they are Indifferent to all kinds Of
turmoil. Living creatures Of many
kinds are not In the least impressed
by sounds which have no interest
for them. To terrific disturbances,
which have neither inherited nor &C.
CURED meaning" an accurately SEN
sitive. organism may remain quite in.
different.
But another point is raised, says
Nature, by some observations which
refer to the diverse ways in which
sheep and cows react to dummy
bombs released from an airplane. The
cows seem entirely Indifferent to the
"swish" of the falling bomb, but the
sheep Invariably scatter In panic"
Have the cows a different-more pla-
cid-temperament2 But how excited
they get at times by the buzEing Of
flies that cannot hurt them. The ex-
element is probably dae TO fallacious
association with the buzzing of blood
sucking flies which can hurt them
and the suggestion is that sheep are
panic-stricken because the swish Of a
falling bomb is probably not unlike
the sound of bird Of prey, say a
golden eagle.

BANQUET GIVEN IN HONOR
OF RETIRING U. S. ENVOY
William g. Sharp Entertained by
Latin American and French
Friends in Paris.

PARIS, April 5 (Havas)
q. Sharp. the retiring American am
bassador, was the guest of honor at
banquet given last night by Latin
American and French friends. Rep
resentatives of the French govern
ment and various Latin American
republics were present, including the
ministers from Argentina, Brazil,
Chile, Cuba and Uruguay.
In speeches delivered by Mr. Sharp,
Deputy Charles Guernier and Alexis
Calls, newspaper editor, the hope
was expressed that the union of
France, the United States and the
Latin American republics would daily
become more intimate.
In a statement to the Excelsior be-
fore leaving France. Mr.. Sharp paid
tribute 10 the qualities and lofty
idealism of the French people. and
said he had found all the French
statesmen with whom he came in
contact devotedly serving their coua-
try.
The people of the United States.
Mr.. Sharp continued. would never
forget the heavy sacrifices France
had made in the war, her ruined
cities, her devastated lands and her
homeless people. He declared that
the economic and commercial rela-
tions between France and America
would be closer than ever.
He concluded by saying that it
was the ambition of President Wilson
to guarantee France against all new
aggression and to cooperate with
the allied statesmen to that end.
