FIGHTS ABOLISHMENT

Superintendent Going to AL
bany to Combat MoUe.

Lieut.. Commander ]. S. Baylis. super
intendent of the New York State Nau-
teal School, said last night that he in
tends to go to Albany to combat the
movement among upstate Senators for
the abolition of the nautical school. OBJ
lection to it has been made because il
was alleged, its graduates did not fol-
low the sea. Lieut.. Commander Baylis
said that of the last classes 95 per cent
or more went to sea.
There are now seventy-nine or
eighty vessels running out of the port
of New York in command of grad
uates of the New York State Nautical
School," he said. I'm the war there
were more than $50 of our graduates
holding ranks from Commander on
down. For the last seven years we have
averaged thirty-seven graduates a year
At the present time we have ninety-siD
students. The course is for two years.
OF the $500 men trained in the school
since its establishment in 1875 ]. 800 grad
uated with credit.
THE charge that il costs too much TO
graduate a man from the school is not
based upon true information. The State
appropriates 100000 for the training
ship and operating expenses. but the
Federal Government reimburses the
State with $4,000 of this amount and
other amounts are turned back until the
actual cost is only about $4,000 to $6o, 900

srecioi Despatch to THE NEW YORK HEnALD.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Feb. 23.-Announce-
rnent of President wilson's submission
to the Congress of copy Of an agree
ment he entered into with the British
and French Premiers binding themselves
to recommend acceptance of German
bonds in payment of loans to Belgium
made prior to the armistice has come
TO President-elect Harding as something
of a contradiction Of the statement re-
Gently given out by Thomas w. Lamont
following conference with Mr.. Har-
DING.
Mr.. Lamont was the financial adviser
of the American delegation at the Ver-
sailles conferences. After talk with
Mr.. Harding last week he gave out a
carefully prepared statement, IN which
he said the President-elect would not be
hampered in any way in HIS efforts to
arrive at settlement Of the indebted
ness of foreign nations by reason of any
commitments Mr.. Wilson may have
made. The Lamont statement was most
emphatic. 1t said Mr.. Harding would
be free as air" in pursuing his nego-
tiations
1t Is not doubted here that Mr.. La
mont was completely frank In his state
nent of his own understanding of what
went on in Paris. But 1t begins to be
suspected that some things may have
taken place Of which Mr.. Lamont may
not have known.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Harding's ad-
visers that such an undertaking as
President Wilson's memorandum de-
scribes could not leave the incoming Ex-
ecutive free as air." The inconslst-
encies in the situation have served to
confirm the belief that when the whole
story of the peace conference is known
1t will be found that new and unfore-
seen difficulties lie in the way of an
easy solution Of the problem of settling
the interallied loans.
President Wilson's announcement was
phrased In such q way that IL may be
accepted as an answer to Mr.. Lamont's
statement. It might even have been
warning to Mr.. Harding that he should
not be too well convinced of his freedom
of action and the absence Of all hurdles

man Jablonawitz, the owner, shivering

Jablonawitz said that two boys, one OF

asked for five cents worth of meat for
their dog. He picked up his knife and
went inside the box for the meat, clos
ing the door after him. When he tried
to come out he found that the boys had
locked the door. He spent twenty min
utes wondering whether he would ever
come out alive. When Father McGrath
let him out he found that the boys had
robbed his cash box Of S22.
