BRYAN AND
 WILSON CLASH
Commoner Disagrees With the President Over the
 Covenant.
SENATE IS CONDEMNED

Washington. Ian S=ITesideut Nil son in his message #o fine Jackson Day diners here tonight ~ad 'thn clear ami single way to determine the will of the American people on the league of nations was to make il all issue II the next election.
 William ! Bryan split openly with the president on that question.
 The former secretary of state. three times d candidate for the presidency. and a power in his party. declares the Democrats could not 90 before thc country on the issue. and that they must accept such compromises as may be possible
 The presidents message said nothing whatever about a third term for him self. and neither did it say even by i'm plication or intimation that he would not be candidate, as had been widely forecast Most all of the president s message was devoted to an expression of his argument of why he considered it the duty of the United States to join in the league of nations covenant and why he considered the war not really won until it did. Another attempt to crush the new nations of Europe would be made, the president said if the United States held aloof.
 The president again expressed his attitude toward reservations, much as he did at his conference with the Sen ate foreign rela tions committee. in this language:
 If the Senate wishes to say what the mdoubted meaning of the treaty is l shall have no objection. There can be no reasonable objection to in terpretationS accompanying the act of ratification itself. But when the treaty k acted upon l must know whether it means that we have ratified or rejected it. We cannot rcwrite this treaty. We must take tt without changes which alter it, meaning. or leave it and then. aficl the rest of the world has signed il, we must face the unthnkablc task of making another and separate kind ef treaty with Germany
 Conceding tue r.shf of the Repuhli can majority to dictate the Senatr'S course Mr Bryan declared.
 sOm plan has been rejected and we must face the eituadaH a~ jris Me must either secure such compromises as may be possible ef present the i~~ue to thc country. The latter course would mean delay af at least II months and then success ouly#ie ease of cur securing two-tainls majority of the Senate.
 We cannot afford. either as citi- zens or as members of the party. to share with the Republican party re SponSibiIiIy for further delay. We cau- not go before the country on the issue That such all appeal would present. \ majority of Congress can declare war Shall We make il more difficult to conclude Il treaty thau to enter d yarr"

FEW SHIPS ARE TOTAL LOSS
Vessels Sunk by Mines or Torpedoes
Patched, Raised and Taken to
Port for Repairs.

Any one who imagines that all the
vessels sunk by enemy U-boats or
mines are left at the bottom Of the
sea would be surprised If he could
be told the whole story Of ingenuity,
resource and unremitting toll Of the
British admiralty salvage corps.
Almost as soon as vessel Is sunk
salvage operations are commenced.
Divers are sent down to take accurate
measurements Of the size Of the hole
made by the torpedo or mine. Small
holes are plugged with wood, but large
ones are patched with standards
patches. These are made Of 12-iHch
wooden beams, and a patch sometimes
weighs as much as 20 tons.
AS may be imagined, the size Of the
hole varies greatly. In some cases it
has measured 40 feet long by 20 feet
wide, and in one case 1t has been
known to be 48 feet long by rs feet
wide.
When the vessels have been plugged
and patched, their cargo removed and
the water pumped out of them they
proceed to the nearest port where they
can be permanently repaired.
Several vessels have been torpedoed
after being relocated and have again
been successfully raised and taken
into port.

SEEMED TO COME TO THEM
Few Of Our ~" Boat Chaser Shippers
Had Had Previous Nautical
Experience.

"Where do the officers of the sub
marine chasers come fromT" I asked
an executive officer long in the navy,
writes Samuel G. Blythe in the Satur-
day Evening Post.
Everywhere" he said.
"Were they sailors"
"Not many of them; some had had
experience in motor boats and yachts
and were amateur navigators, but the
way they have picked it up is marvel
GUS. Let me give you an illustration.
When was organizing the first flotilla
that came over questioned the young
chaps who came before me as officers
for the chasers. OF the first five on
one day one had been shoe salesman,
another an accountant, another a nut
inspector and another an actor"
"Nut inspectorY I said. whats
that?"
HE worked on pecan ranch down
south somewhere"
"They had had some sailing expert
ence and had taken short special
courses at training school. Now Of
that bunch three are In command Of
chasers today, four brought their ships
across and the actor is a unit comman-
der. and mighty good one, too. That's
where we got them. The navy just
reached out and collected them here,
there and everywhere, and they are
good stuff and making sailors of them
selves mighty fast"
