Is Nations FAVOR
ARMAMENT LIMIT.
Reply to Leagues Proposal to
Keep Two Years Plan
SEVEN ANSWERS NEGATIVE
Evasive Responses Come From Spain,
Japan And Rumania On Query
All Agree To General ..
Principle. - Z

New York.-Seven of the 26 ma.
tions that have answered the appeal
Of the League of Nations for an agree
ment to keep the military and naval
expenditures budgets for the next two
years within the appropriations for the
current year have replied in the mega.
tive, says an official report from Ge-
neva received by the League of Ma
tions news bureau. They are South
Africa, Brazil, France, Finland, Jugo-
Slavia, Poland and Greece.
These seven States, the report ex.
plains, all agree heartily to the gen.
eral principle of limiting ornaments.
Reservations accompany almost ev-
cry one of the affirmative answers,
It adds, declaring. that the main res
ervation, which occurs in almost every
answer, emphasizes the imtossibility
for any one nation to lead the way to
disarmament without regard to what
is done by other nations.
Two governments, Austria and Bull
garia, answer that the question has
been settled for them by the peace
treaties, which regulate the extent Of
their defensive establishments.
Fourteen governments" the report
continues, accept the proposition
with only such conditions as have
been indicated above. These are Bo.
livia, China, Guatemala, Australia,
Canada, Belgium, Great Britain, New
Zealand, India, Italy, Holland, Chile,
Denmark and Norway.
Spain, Japan and Rumania have
given evasive answers, the spirit OF
which, however, indicates unmistak.
able agreement with the purpose OF
the appeal. Rumania agrees in prac-
tice, but points to the precariousness
of it's present situation in regard to
Russia. Spain agrees also, but points
out the uncertainty of the budget as
measure of the extent of ornaments"

VICTIMS ARRIVE
Dauntless Steams Into harbor
With Flags at na|f-mast
conveyed BY SEAPLANES
Craft On Course Dip FIags-Remains
OF Lieutenant Commander Coil
Will Be Taken Back And
Consigned To Atlantic.

New IOrk.-Resting in f1ag-shrouded
caskets, covered with masses of flow.
ers and guarded by armed men of a
friendly, foreign nation, the bodies of
Commander Louis H. Maxfield and IA
of his comrades-victims of the ZR-2
disaster-arrived home on the British
cruiser Dauntless.
1t was a far different homecoming
than the victims had anticipated
when they sailed several months ago
for England to prepare and bring
back the monster dirigible, the dis
aster to which on trial flight, sent
untimely death.
Far out at sea the Dauntless was
met by destroyer division of the
United States Navy. AS it neared
port the escort was augmented by a
feet of seaplanes, representing the
arm of the service for which the vic
Tins gave their lives. AS the funeral
ship came up the harbor the forts
thundered salute, church bells
tolled on the Brooklyn and Staten
Island shores and passing craft dipped
their colors in reverential salute.
! At each corner of the deck as the
vessel was warped into it's pier stood
an armed sentry with head bowed and
arms reversed. Forward of the plat
form was a non-commissioned officer,
and aft an officer in full-dress uniform
having rank equal to that of Com
mander Maxfield. Both of these Off
GERS stood at attention with head un-
covered until the caskets were finally
removed from the ship.
A silence almost .Sepulchral in
effect hung over the funeral ship as
she proceeded up the harbor. Except
for the barking of her guns, as they
spoke q times in the usual salute of
courtesy given by war craft entering
foreign port, the only noise was the
swish of water at her bow, the occa'
sional clanking of a chain, or COM
rnand given in muffied tones.

the prohibition struggle in the United

Bishop Cannon declared that if an
other war should come, demanding
that sons come from prohibition homes
in America to fight in England, France
or other countries, one of the most
important factors would be whether
the American and English or French
Governments would cooperate to offer
the same protection to the American
