A ship without a bottom came into

twenty. With nothing but the ocean
where her bottom should have been,
she came all the way from the

The ship noated on and they towed
her to New York.
1t is said that this is the first time
a ship ever came into port without

reason she didn't go TO pieces on the

ship instead of across.

reluctance to accept the American
figures fixing the ratio OF present
naval strength on a basis OF 8 for
Great Britain, 5 for the United States
and for the Japanese7
The Evening World correspondent

the Official correspondence passing

American Navy explains in detail the
method by which the 5-5-s ratio WAS

plA!r piece OF arithmetic and the
Quandary OF all whS have had n

The conclusion being generally
reached. party from things the Japan

from the hints they let fall In the

are getting ready to agree absolutely
To the American estimate of existing

evitably lead TO general strife.
The Government heads are bending
their entire efforts to seeking some
avenue of negotiation yet unexplorod,
but 1t u believed all possibilities Of

The latest plan, that for an ALL
Ireland Parliament under which IN
ster could retain her existing rights
until. or unless, she changed her
mind. has fallen to the ground under
the formal statement by the Stnn

As result, in both Government and
Irish circles the opinion Is expressed
that nothing short of a miracle can
avert complete collapse of the uego+
tiations and resumption of the war

Preservation OF the truce. what
ever may happen to the peace nego-
tiations. is being urged by a consid-
orahlr section OF the British press.
1t is suggested that this be achieved
through adjournment Of the confer
ence to a fixed date n month or six
weeks hence.
The Sim Fein publicity department.
here reiterated this forenoon that It
expected further meetings betweeR
the Government and the Sim Fein
