stances are declared to have been as
follows:
1.-THE commander in chief of the

formation of depth charge defence.
and experiments and Investigations
were made. The Vernon experimental
school took the matter in hand, and tha
submarine attack committee of the Ad-
mlralty recommended the adoption Of
the design which was virtually the
same as that used throughout the war.
There were improvements from time
to time. but British navy adopted and
developed the depth charge method OF
defence two years ago. The British
navy also led the way in the use and
development Of the weapon and in the
hitting out of special vessels for its
extensive employment. The invention
of the 'thrower' and other devices in
connection with the use of mines was
purely British"

should not have already gone further.

at the outset II would be fatal to
erect it as a supersovereignty in the
world Of existing sovereignty. Too
much should not be promised for it
Too much must not be expected Con-
science of regulations must be the
foundation upon which the new world
is to be built The league must be so
framed and its beginnings so directed
that it will grow in the confidence and
the esteem of men, and if it prove
effective in its beginning, it may ex-
tend its benefcent functions until, so
far as human nature may permit, it
shall Justify the hopes Of mankind.

Long Dirigible Trip
Is Devoid of Thrills
Official Log of CT Declares
1,3OO-Mile Journey Was
Without s1Real Incident''

But few thrills were experienced by
the crew of the navy dirigible CT in
its record breaking flight from Rocka-
way Beach to Key West, Fla, from
January IL to Is last, according to an
official report made by Captain S. V.
Parker, commander Of the aircraft, to
Captain N. E. Irwin, chief of naval
aviation.
The log of the long fight, just made
public, proves that the CT was so we'll
behaved and was favored by such good
weather that there were only two oc-
casions on which it was found neces-
sary to make repairs. One was over
Wilmington, N. c., when broken lead
pipe forced Chief Machinist's Mate G. E.
Ritter to crawl out on the outrigging
and work with 500 feet of nothingness
below.
Again, over Georgetown, S. c., the
steering gear went wrong and land
ing was forced. In this the crew was
assisted by the natives, who had been
instructed in what their duties would
be by notes dropped oversize with
parachutes.
The journey was accomplished in
four "legs." The first was from Rock
away to Hampton Roads, 345 miles; the
second from Hampton Roads to George
town, S. c., 300 miles; the third, from
Georgetown to Brunswick, Ga, 220
miles, and the fourth from Brunswick
to the Key West station, $40 miles. The
voyage was begun early Sunday morn
ing and ended Wednesday afternoon at
Z:0S. The crew was composed of the
following officers and men:
Captain Parker, commanding; Lieu
tenant j. B. Lawrence, y. S. N. R. F.:
Ensign E. B. Packard, U. S. N. r. F.:

Waning Confidence
OF Bolsheviki
In Offer to Farley
Partial Drafting of Charter
for World League and
Assurance of Conference
With Russians Mark Week
By Arthur S. Draper

Special Cable S.r1,;~.

PARIS, Feb. 8.-The three important
developments in the last forty Eight
hours may be summarized as follows:
The Princes Islands conference
will be held.
The commission charged with the
drafting of the league of nations
constitution has completed more
than half of its work, and the fin
ished draft will probably be pre-
sented to the plenary session of the
>peace conference at the beginning of
next week
The Italians and Jugo-Slavs have
settled nearly all Of their differences.
Sir Robert Borden and probably 8
labor man will act as the British rep
resentatives at the Princes Islands
conference. The conference is unlikely
to open until February 20 or there
abouts. France, Italy and Japan also
will send representatives.
Reds Lose Confidence
The Americans believe that consider.
able advance toward the settlement Of
the, Russian problem has been made
They think the Bolshevik have reache ed
the point where they are no longer
confident of their ability to overturn
society. The Americans consider that
the Bolshevik reply is indicative Of the
weakening Of Lenine and Trotzky.
Whether the Princes Islands confer
ence itself will prove successful is an
other matter. The big point is that the
Bolshevik leaders have considered il
wise to negotiate No one ventures ar
optimistic forecast, but all are hope.
of supplies are important actors, it Is
believed, in swinging the Bolshevik
into line
Premier Lloyd George and Presiden
Wilson, according to all reports, are
satisfied with this weeks develop
ments, especially with the progress
made by the league of nations ION
mission. The final draft of the con
stitution Of the league will embed,
most Of the British and American
views, but the delegates insist that i
is inaccurate to brand the constitution
with the name Of any particular coun
try.
French for Drastic Rule
I hear that the French have urget
strongly the incorporation of a com
yulsory arbitration clause, but neither
the Americans nor the British sup
ported it. A spirit of compromise
runs through all of the commission
work. 1t is foolish to anticipate an,
serious disagreements among the dele
gates, although in their public utter
ances there may be many divergen
views expressed.
The delegates have had plenty o
time for discussion They are all i'm
pued with the idea that war must b.
eliminated or limited. They all fee
the pressing need Of an early settle
ment. They all realize that public
claims and demands are not always thu
same as those advanced in private con
versations.
Mr.. Wilson is showing a spirit OF
compromise. SO are Mr.. Lloyd George
and M. Clemenceau and Signor Son
nno and all the rest The British
Premier is unlikely to make a report tc
Parliament until after Mr.. Wilson
reaches America
