ON BOARD THE DESTROYER
LEARY, En- Route. to Norfolk, Va,
July 21.-Army bombers launching
projectiles weighing one ton, sank the
former German battleship Ostfriesland,
a heavily armored ship of $4,000 tons
displacement, in exactly twenty five
minutes after they opened their at
tack at 1915 p. m, from an altitude
of approximately LOO feet. Two
bombs which landed overheard within
a few yards of the port quarter gave
the ship her death blows.
Seven of the one ton weapons were
dropped by as many army planes, but
Immediately after the two had ex-
pIoded near the port quarter, the Ost-
friesland began to settle by the stern.
Those bombs were launched by sepa-
rate planes within a minute of each
other, the first at 1925 p. M and
within five minutes the ships quarter
deck was slightly awash and she be-
gan to list to port.
AS the water rushing in through

LONDON, July 21.-The proposal Of
the British government, which it is
hoped may form a basis of an Irish
settlement, are in the hands of Ea-
NOM DeValera, the Irish republican
leader. Mr.. DeValera will return to
Dublin and submit them to other lead
ers of opinion in southern Ireland, in
cluding the members of the dali

The British prime minister and Mr..
DeValera went over the ground again
today but as Sir James Craig, the Ul-
ster premier, had returned to Belfast,
and there was no possibility for the
present of a conference between the
representatives of the three parties
concerned, it was hardly expected that
any definite decision would be taken
by Mr.. Lloyd George and Mr.. DeVaiera
today.
A point official communique issued
shortly after the conference declared
that "the basis for a further confer
ence has not yet been found
At the same time it was announced
that Mr.. DeValera on his return to
Ire~and, would communicate with the
prime minister after further discus
sion with his colleagues.

BURN THEMSELVES
AND CHILDREN TO
PREVENT PARTING
Eccentric Mother and Daughter,
Crazed by Love for Two
Babies, Set Bed Afire.
(Rv rhe AsaocIated Press.1

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 21.-Be-
Heved to have been crazed by their
love for two babies left with them as
bcarders and who were about to be
taken from them, police believe two
women destroyed themselves and the
children on a bed which they set afire
IN their home here today.
The women were Mrs Elizabeth
Moselman, widow, 10, and her daugh
ter, Tillie, 81. Mrs. Moselman was
wealthy and both were eccentric in
their way OF living police say.
The baby victims were Helen Stan
kovich, three years old, and her two
year old brother, Felix.
Felix was burned to death on his
second birthday-today-an Helen
had celebrated her third birthday yes
terday.
Clutching the helpless children in
their arms, the two women set the
bed afire, police say the evidence shows
and when a neighbor managed TO
break his way into the bedroom,
through locked doors the four burned
bodies were found on the bed, the
arms of the women encircling the
Babies. The room was damaged but
little. The iron bed was red hot and
all the bed clothing had been burned
away.
The children, who were motherless.
had been left temporarily with the
women by their father. John Stanko-
vich, a former tenant, when he went
TO Virginia to work on July 1.
Today Mrs. Moselman received a
letter from the children's father, ask
ing her to give his babies into the
care of their grandmother. Mrs. The
resa White. 1t was this letter, police
believed, that prompted the tragedy.
Police say the evidence indicates the
mother and daughter deliberately fired
the bed mattress and killed themselves
and the babies rather than give them
up.

CONFIDENT JAPAN
WILL DISCUSS FAR
EASTERN PROBLEMS
Japanese Ambassador and Sec
retary of State Hughes
Hold Conference.
MAY SOON RESUME
YAP NEGOTIATIONS
In Order to Have Questions Set
tied Before the Assem-
bling of Delegates.
(9y The Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Renewed
confidence that Japan will consent to
a broad discussion of Far Eastern
problems as part of the disarmament
conference was evident in official cir
cles here tonight after an informal
exchange of views between the Jap
anese and American governments.
During the day the Japanese ambas-
sador, Baron Shidehara, called on
Secretary Hughes at the state depart
ment and they are understood to have
discussed at length the situation re-
sulting from Japans reluctance to
have the Far Eastern questions sub
jected to debate in the disarmament
negotiations. 1t was indicated after
ward that the mutual exchange was
regarded as helpful by both sides and
that the conversations soon might
reach stage making possible mora
formal diplomatic correspondence on
the subject.
There was every evidence that the
American government remained un-
shaken in it's belief that to definitely
eliminate any subject from the scope
of the conference before hand might
prove serious barrier to the dis
armament discussion itself. On the
other hand, it was indicated that
American officials had no desire to
formulate a list Of the questions that
it thinks should be discussed and
would be quite content if the TOXIC
government simply agreed to come
into the conference with an open mind
as to consideration of anything vital
to disarmament agreement.
Those in charge of the preliminary
negotiations here have heard with
some of the troubles of the conference
might be obviated if such questions
as the disposition of the Pacific ISL
and of Yap and the control of Shan
tung peninsula were settled before the
delegates assemble. Although official
comment is lacking, it is manifest
that such a development would be
highly pleasing to American officials
and that some steps may be taken TO
speed these questions toward solution.
1t is considered entirely likely that
to this end negotiations regarding Zap
over which Japan was awarded
mandate by the league Of nations, may
be actively resumed in the near fu-
ture.
In the case of Shantung, the indi-
Gated view of the state department
has been that any dispute over SOW
ereignty should be a subject of nego-
tiations between Japan and China.
Reports have reached here that Toxic
is ready to undertake such a negosia-

serted that 23 of their fellows perished

Ing to get to shore. A search was
conducted but no trace of the bodies
could be found.
According to Ullman's story the
schooner was TO have been met about
80 miles off Pensacola and the China

cut of this port. The master of the
schooner was to have received $1,000
for the trip, he said. on failure of the
boat from Pensacola to meet the

rected to place the captain and a
Chinaman accompanying him under
