TREATY NEGOTIATIONS WERE
 CONDUCTED WITH SECRECY

Washington August 2S-Reports from Berlin that the treaty negotiations be- tween the German government and the United States are being conducted with secrecy at the request of the Ameri- can government were confirmed to- day by highest administration offi- cials.
 The confirmation with which was coupled a declaration that this gov ernment did not believe such negotia- tions could be profitably conducted in the open was virtually the first however that some definite announce ment as to the accomplishment of the negotiations would be made before the end of the week.
 Hitherto high administration off cials, when asked repeatedly regarding the negotiations have replied by shak- ing the.r heads and remaining silent Today they would go no further than to say that the secrecy observed both here and in Berlin was part of def mite policy which they considered nec- essary to the success of the negotia- tions.
 No further light was thrown on the nature of the treaty. which press des. patches have indicated is about to bC 1 concluded, except that is was indicated as the view of the administration tha

GIANT DIRIGIBLE ZR-e
 IS MAKING TRIAL TRIP

Pelham, England Aug. 2S (by The A. P)-Out over the North Sea- above the low clouds and the banks of mist the giant dirigible ZR-2 tonight was cruis- ing up and down off the coast of Nor folk waiting for daylight to guide her to her moorings at Putnam.
 The big aircraft, purchased by the American navy from Great Britain, Is on a trial trip from Howden to Putnam The voyage >began at 7.10 o'clock this morning an dwas expected to end before darkness fell over eastern England During the greater part of the day the weather was pl opitious and the drigi- ble. with the American crew which is to guide her across the Atlantic on board, unanswered for many miles over land and sea
 As the afternoon advanced the weath CT conditions became bad, and as mis- and low clouds gathered and penetrated inland from the Norfolk coast it wa' decided not to attempt to berth the air shin tonight owing to the danger of ac cident Therefore the ZR-2 will remair | out at sea, until dawn at least. All preparations have been made a the afrdrome here for the arrival of thu | dirigible.
Norwich bulletin., 1921-08-24

At the same time among administra- tion officials it was outlined as a definite purpose of the government to refrain from determined objection to secret sessions. Not only was it indicated as the belief here that delicate subjects could not be profitably discussed in the open, but 1t was suggested that to insist on such course might meet with such strong op- position from abroad as to wreck the whole program of the conference.
 Confirming reports from Berlin that the treaty negotiations with Germany are being conducted secretly al the re- quest Rf the United States, high officials emphasized it as a conviction of this that diplomatic conversations cannot de- yelop a frank exchange of views if full publicity is given every step. So far ss publicity may be given without en- dangering frankness and without offend ing other powers, however, officials are said to favCr it.
 A similar attitude was taken in the senate debate by Senator Lodge who has been in frequent conference with President Harding since his selection as d delegate. Although declaring that the largest publicity compatible with the public interest should characterize the conference the republican leader as serted it was wholly impossible and lm- practicable to conduct negotiations en- tirely in the full view of the public
 The senate debate resulted from res olution introduced by Senator Harrison, democrat, Mississippi, instructing the American delegates to insist that the con ference session be public. It came up as an amendment to the S20o,000 appro- priation for expense of the conference. but was withdrawn after Senator, Lodge had objected Senator Harrison announc- l ing that he would offer it later as a sep arate measure.

PANAMA SENDS ASSURANCE
 TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT

Washington, August 2S-Panama will not resist the occupation of the disputed territory of Coto by Costa Rica, the American minister at Pana- ma today cabled the state depart ment he had informed by the Panaman minister of foreign affairs.
 The decision of the government of Panama, the American minister advis- ed the department, was made known following presentation Of a new note from the American government stating clearly that the United States would not countenanee any hostilities grow ing out of the occupation which this government had held to be Justified under the Loubet and White awards
 The American minister also inform ed the department that the government Of Panama through its foreign minis ter had assured him the police sent into the Coto district would be with drawn prior to Costa Rica occupation
 These assurances of Panama were regarded by state department officials generally as forecasting a complete and final settlement of the entire con troVersy in peaceful manner. Secre- tary Hughes interpreted the develop ments as completely dissipating any possibility of hostilities between the two countries incident to the occupa tion. p'
