With the advent of the summer
season the lure of the Potomac is
strong upon Washingtonians, and
the population is approaching it's
annual summertime realization that
its own historic stream is probably
as well adapted for outings as any
river in the world. The steamer ST.
Johns, one of the largest and fast
est excursion steamers on the Po-
tomac, has prepared a convenient
schedule of trips. Colonial Beach
will open its summer season Satur-
day, when a Memorial Day schedule
has been arranged for the steamer
with sailings on Saturday at $3.50
p. M, Sunday at a. m, and Mon
day a a. m, with return trips from
the beach at p. m. Sunday ana
Monday.
The 40-mile moonlight trips which
have proven so popular in past sea-
sons will be resumed next Tuesday
evening by the steamer st. Johns at
p. m. The steamer is again under
the command of Captain Bailey Reed
and the st. Johns is owned by the
Washington-Colonial Beach Steam
ship Company, which has the fol-
lowing Washington business men as

Aviation Expert Says Millions
Spent During War Are
Going TO Waste.

PARIS, June 2e.-cortusnd Bishop
former president OF the Aero Club and
vice president of the American Fly
ing club, doesn't give much praise
for American aviation today. Here
is his COMMENT; ..... ..
IAN Americas efforts during the
war are going to waste. The millions
spent on aviation are not being made
use OF in the slightest. Immense han
gars, built at tremendous expense, are
lying idle, aeroplanes are growing
rusty for lack of use. There Is no air
service in America today comparable
to that between Paris and London or
between Paris and Brussels. Why?
Both civil and military aviation is
abandoned in the United states. ..
"The object of the American Flying
Club, which is made up of aviators
only, is to form a nucleus for the de-
velopment of aviation in America. We
certainly need it. Europe, IN spite Of
the ruins OF the war, Is going on
ahead Soon We shall be far out OF
the race.

British Denounce
French Invasion
(By Associated Press)

London Declaration that the allies
repeatedly declined to sanction the adj
vance of French troops east of the
Rhine and that statements by Premier
Millerand and other French ministers
had given the impression that that
country would abstain from single
handed action against Germany, are
contained in the note outlining the
British attitude sent to Paris, says the
London Times. Emphasis is laid on the
fact that grave problems IN connection
with the execution of the Versailles
treaty may arise in the future, it is
said and it is assumed France will
not act again on her own initiative,
otherwise the work of the peace con-
ference may become futile" Reports
from Paris that France was told the
Earl of Derby would be instructed not
to participate in the conference of am
bassadors in Paris until France had
given assurance she would in future
act in concert with the allies, are con-
frmed by the Times.

REPLY OF FRANCE
RELIEVES TENSION
French Reply Is Received in London
and Is Considered Conciliatory
in Nature
(By Associated Press. J

London-The reply of France to the
British note on the action taken by
France in occupying additional German
territory, was received in London to-
day. The note maintains that France
gave Great Britain ample warning on
April third that France considered it
necessary to take military steps if
Germany failed to withdraw her
troops. The reply mentions the unra-
titled treaty drawn up between France,
Great Britain and the United States
for the protection of France, presents
proofs of Germany's violation of the
peace treaty and concludes with an ex-
preston of the wish of France to act
in accordance with the wishes of the
allies, and a hope for further confer
ences on the subject The British
foreign Office has not stated what form
the French warning took, but it is as
sumed that it was presented verbally
by the French ambassador Notwith-
standing the insistence of France that
there was no alternative for her in
the circumstances except occupation of
German territory and her denial Of the
statements that she had acted with
out warning, officials here view the
note as conciliatory, because of the
expressed desire of the French for an
allied conference. This view is emp
hasized by the fact that Premier
Lloyd George left for San Reno al
though it was stated yesterday thai he
might postpone his departure

TO SUE
BEET GROWERS

Court action may result in the re
fusal Of growers Of sugar beet in RAJ
cine and Kenosha counties to keep
their contracts with manufacturers of
sugar from beets, as the companies
are preparing to bring suit to compel
the growers to keep contract agree
ments or be assessed for damages.
Following the action Of the sugar
beet growers at Somers on Monday
evening, when it was agreed to return
all contracts and not to grow sugar
beet this season, unless $1,000 a ton
was received, resulted in representa-
tives of four companies entering the
district to investigate and report
back to the companies in order that
preparations. for legal actions could
be made.
Say Seed Is Shipped.
The sugar beet companies have, be-
cause of the receipt of signed con-
tracts, shipped seed into this district
and have also entered into contracts
for weeders at price of $4,000 an
acre. The companies having entered
into contracts with the growers of the
two counties are the Wisconsin Sugar
company, United States Sugar COM
pany, Rock County Sugar company,
and Charles Pope Sugar company.
Some of these companies, it is claimed,
agreed to pay $1,000 ton for all sugar
beet raised and one company entered
into contract for 1900 acres. It was
also agreed to pay a bonus, per
ton, provided there was an advance
IN sugar prices.
Companies Vary Prices.
Many contracts were signed to raise
sugar beet at sale price to the maLu-
facturcr Ct $1,000 ton, or SO 90 less
than other coInren:es had contracted
to pay. Why there should be such q
difference in prices offered by one
company and those offered by another
cannot be understood.
The sugar beet growers of the two
counties will hold a meeting at the
town hall, Somers, Kenosha county,
this evening, and will determine what
further action TO act. The majority
of beet growers, it is understood, will
raise other crops than sugar beet if
they are refused their demands Of
$1,000 ton. Representatives of sugar
beet companies holding the contracts
Of growers, are expected to be in at
tendance at the Somers meeting.
