TRIBUTES PAID
ADMIRAL PEARY

Portland, Me-, Feb. 90 Robert t.
peary was a father to ali the men
under him; he was loyal to them
and they were loyal to him. said
Donal u. Macmillan. the explorer
who accompanied Peary on his last
expedition, in IL statement tonight.
None OF the men who accompa :
to go to the pole" he said. They
knew that as fast as they were
turned back it was in the interests
Of all and they were satified that ii
should be so. His last words to me
uttered less than three weeks ago
were I expect to get better"
Brunswick, Me, Feb. 20.-Presi-
dent Suls OF Bowdoin College said
Of Admiral Peary:
a graduate of the college in the
class Of 1877. he showed already in
/ college those qualities OF pluck and
endurance and character that made
; his later achievements possible"
Since his return from the North
Pole he has been particularly in
terestcd in Bowdoin College and in
the State Of Maine; and the college
gricves at his passing"
Washington, Feb. 2o-In an appre-
Grosvenor, president of the National
Geographical Society today said:
1t has been my privilege to know
Admiral Feary intimately for 20
years and find it difficult to express
my admiration and affection for his
personal qualities, the bigncss of his
heart and personality. his loyal devo-
ton to his friends. his rugged integ-
rity and his love for everything Am
erican."
Tribute to the achievements OF

message OF sympathy to Mrs. Pcary:
'Noicing the sentiments of the
navy. ] desire to express deep sym
rathy in your bereavement. II any
earthly comfort can help you in this
! hour, it must be the assurance that
tho whole country sorrows with you
and that all over tho world there will
be profound regret at the death OF
YOUR distinguished husband. He had
the honor to accomplish the realiza
! ton of Il great ambition and to re-
ceive the plaudits of all nations. His
great achievement brought particu
lar distinction to the American navy
of which he was an honorcd and dis
tinguisiIcd officer"

Wilson Denies Deal


carriers aggregating 1oo,5Ss deao-
weight tons. Up to the present
es-enemy cargo carriers have Dee"
sold by the board
Checks totalling s1.S4l,0Oo depositeo
by eight bidders. as earnest MONEY
on bids for the passenger ships were
returned TO them today.
The proposed agreement tfah'
mitted by the President was siSneh
in May. 1919 by Premier Lloya
George and Mr.. Wilson. The Presi-
dents signature. however. was maze
conditional on an appended explana-
ton that it was subject to the ap-
prevail OF congress. In transmitting
the document the President said ne
had intended to send it to the Senate
after ratification of the peace treaty
The agreement covered all vessels
captured. seized or detained by any
Of the allied or associated govern
ments.
Officials recalled that it was drawn
up after controversy between
Lloyd George and Mr.. Wilson in
which the British proposal that
ships. ceded, or detained. on the
basis on tonnage losses was opposed
by the president. the resulting tenta-
tive understanding being made pub
lie today for the first time although
its general purpose has been known.
The document contains five clauses
and the essence Of its application to
the thirty ships involved in the
present controversy lies in para
graphs 2 and 4. The first provides
that all enemy craft captured. seiz-
ed or detained" before the armistice
as a war measure shall be detained
by the holding power which will
own the same free from any claim Of
any allied or associated government
The fourth section provides that
where the valuation OF such retained
tonnage, specifically in the case of
Brazil, China. Cuba, Siam and the
United States. exceeds the value OF
tonnage lost during the war. rea-
sonable value for such excess shall
be determined and that amount paid
by the holder state to the reparations
commission for the credit of Ger
many towards the sum due from her
for reparation in respect to war loss
es of merchant ships"
How American payments into the
allied pool would be computed I'M
der the proposed agreement should
losses sustained by the United states
be less than the value Of German
tonnage taken over during the war
was explained by Chairman Payne.
At the direction Of the president an
appraisal of the vessels was made by
the secretary Of the navy when they
were taken over in June 1917. Ac-
cordins to published reports the
navy's appraisal of IS vessels aggre-
eating 100000 gross tons was $34. 1884,
1870. This appraisal the chairman
said took into account the damage
done to the ships by their crews be-
fore reiinquishing them ind repre-
sents their value for the purposes of
the proposed agreement.
We take the ships absolutely,
title free" Chairman Payne stated.
| And when we come to settle with
Germany. we put in common pool the
differences between our losses and
the appraised value Of the ships"
