Navy Storehouse Near
Granite State Burns

Fire that started after midnight this
morning in the paint storehouse at the
entrance of the recruiting station at
tached to the Naval Reserve headuuar-
ters, Ninety-seventh Street and North
River, destroyed the one story struct-
ure and damaged stores to the value of
$4,000.
The fire started less than $50 feet
from the wreck of the frigate Granite
State, which caught fire and burned to
the waters edge last week. 1t was dis
covered by Chief Electrician Charles
Holmberg, who aroused twenty four
men asleep in the nearby barracks.
Assisted by these men and by Chief
Carpenter James Robinson, Helmberg
got q line of hose in action and had the
blaze under control when the first fire
company arrived. AT that moment an
explosion of fifty gallons of gasoline
stored in the paintroom gave new i'm
petus to the blaze, but it was con-
trolled soon after.
Fifteen white mice, property of
Douglas Rixsby, sailor aboard the
Granite State, who saved them at the
time of the ships burning, were as
phyXiated. The Office of the dock in
spector, which adjoined the burned
structure and is also of wood, was
ds mayed slightly.

Balance of German Gold
To Reach Paris To-day

BERLIN, May 20 (By The Associated
Press).-lf the train carrying the spe-
cial courier of the German government
arrives at Paris on schedule time. the
Reparations Commission about noon
Monday will come into possession of
the equivalent of 840,00O,000 gold
marks, the balance due from Germany
on the first billion reparation payment.
Each of the notes, twenty in number,
bears the endorsement of the Deutsche
Bank, the Dresdner Bank, the Darn
stadter Bank and the Disconto Com
pany, four leading banks of greater
Berlin, who volunteered their Joint
guaranty in return for the govern
ment's assurance that the notes would
be redeemed at maturity without hold
ing the banks materially responsible.
The courier, who left Berlin last
night, carried the notes in an insignifi-
cant looking wallet tucked away in an
inside pocket.
The 1000, 100000 gold marks, which
Germany will have paid as the first in
stallment within the time specified by
the Allied ultimatum, represent a bull
lion weight of 100000 kilograms. for
which forty ordinary German freight
cars would have been needed, if Ger
many had been called upon to pay in
gold.

French Want Order First

PARIS, May 20 (By The Associated
Press The French government, in it's
note to Great Britain on the Silesian
question, indicated that it considered
the first thing necessary was to restore
order and the authority of the Inter
Allied Commission in Upper Silesia, it
was officially stated here to-day.
The note set forth while these things
remained undone and the German and
Polish bands were face to face no de-
clslon that would be reached bv the
proposed Supreme Council meeting at
Boulogne would be likely to be ac-
cepted. The Poles, however, were now
showing a disposition to submit to AL
lied control, tAe note continued, and it
was hoped the Germans also would lay
down their arms.
The arrival of the British hattalions
on the way could only have the effect
of improving the situation, in the opin-
ion of the French government, and it
considered the work of the Supreme
Council ought in the mean time to be
simplified for it by an examination
into the situation by commission of
experts who would present report to
the Council on the problem.
The meeting of the Council, in the
view of the French government, it was
added, should be held when order was
restored in accordance withe treaty
and when the report of the experts had
been handed in.

4 Hurt When Airplane
Runs Into Boxes at Fair
Special Dispatch to The Tribnns

MILWAUKEE,, May 29.-The lives of
hundreds of persons were endangered
at the State Fair Grounds to-day when
an airplane, piloted by Aliis Speers, ran
into the boxes surrounding the race
track. Four persons were injured one
woman.
Al Wilson was to make leap from
an automobile driven by Louis Disbrow
to the airplane. AS the car came tear
ing down the track with the airplane
overhead, the rope ladder dangling
from the plane caught in an exhaust
pipe on Disbrow's machine. The plane
climbed, the auto was turned around.
Wilson risked his life by climbing to
the rear of the auto and attempting to
disentangle the ladder. AS he did so
the airplane suddenly veered, straight
ened out and dashed into the boxes.
Five thousand spectators were in the
grandstand. The machine travelled
only twenty-five feet and was demol-
ished.
The four injured were sent to city
hospitals. All will recover. Ten min
utes afterward the auto drivers re-
sumed their races.

Premier Witos Resigns
In Polish Cabinet Crisis
President Pilsudski Urges He
Reconsider and Rene,o His
Efforts to Rebuild Mtnistrv

WARSAW, May 20 (By The Associ-
ated Press).-The Porish Cabinet crisis,
due in part to the inability of the
government to solve the Upper Silesian
problem, which continues to develop
unfavorably to Polish desires, has
reached stage which caused Premier r
Witos to tender his resignation to
President Pilsudski. The resignation,
however, has not yet been accepted
and it is said in political circles TO-DAY
that the President will endeavor to
persuade the Premier to Withdraw his
resignation and renew his efforts to
reconstruct the Cabinet. Already the
Cabinet has suffered the withdrawal of
three of the mipisters-the Foreign
Minister, Prince Sapieha; the Minister
of Labor and the Minister of Agricul-
ture.
The press generally is urging Pre-.
mler Wltos to reconsider for the time
being his decision to resign, and SINH
lar efforts are also being made to in
,duce Prince Sapieha to resume the
headship of the Foreign Office until The
Silesian crisis is past.
Owing to the unsettled state of af-
fairs the Polish mark, which began TO-
fbogganing fortnight ago, reached the
lowest level yet yesterday, being

problem is most difficult, but must be

On April % M. Lomoff, chairman o.

that the Soviet government had radi-

and was drifting straight toward cap
italism, which for three years it has
sought to destroy as Russias worst
enemy.
Foreign trade agreements have failed
to bring relief to Russia, principally
as the result of graft by Soviet agents
themselves, according to recent dis
patches. Boshevik trade commission
ers have profted heavily at the expense
Of the Soviet administration, with the
result that practically no commerce is

Damage TO House of Lords

Capitalization AdUocated
TO Limit Air Dangers
General Mitchell Suggests Radio
Warnings as One Phase of
: Possible Snfefn SNstr,,


WASHINGTON, May 29.-Centralizec
control of all aerial activities unde,
direction of experienced fiers should
De the first step taken to prevent the
indefinite repetition of such accidents
as the crash of the army Curtiss- Eagle
ambulance plane near here yesterday,
in the opinion of Brigadier General
Mitchell. assistant chief of the army
air service
1T remains for US to seek out the
lesson in this terrible affair and to
profit by it, to the end that more pre-
clous lives may not be sacrificed" said
General Mitchell. "To my mind the
lesson is obvious. These accidents,
costly in lives to greater or less de-
groes, have not been uncommon, and
they Will continue to occur until we
centraiize the control of aviation and
place that control in the hands of men
VINO are themselves t1iers and familiar
with the problems and dangers of the
air game"
Radio Service Advocated g.
The first step that should be taken
after the establishment of the central
ized aerial control, General Mitchell
said, should be the mapping out and
proper marking of regular air routes
ana the organization of an efficient
radio service to furnish flying direc-
tlons and meteorological data to planea
while they are in the air.
1t must be remembered" the officer
said, that from the time the big Eagle
Elane left Langley Field for Boiling
Field, although there were terrific
storms all around Washington and in
It's path, there was no. established way
by which a warning could be sent to
the pilot to tell him that he was driv-
ing his ship toward danger. In my
opinion, Lieutenant Ames was in the
midst of the storm before he realized
its extent. Had there been such a
radio service to warn him of the area
and intensity of the storm he could
easily have turned away from it,"
Sees Chance for Boy Scouts
General Mitchell would also enlist
the services of the thousands of Bow
Scouts throughout the country in help
ing to mark air fields and routes and
gather data for flyers.
1.-The accident is the worst in the
history of aviation in this country,
either civil or military" General Mitch
eH declared. There have been worse
crashes in Europe, believe, but in all
the annals of flying in the United States
cannot recall an accident that result
ed in such a terrific loss of life.
"Of course, the risk of death is
thing that the aviator faces daily. The
man who flies realizes that he takes
chances and he takes them daily, in
peace as we'll as in war. In this case
the loss of life is all the more deplor-
able because the victims are men
whose loss will be keenly felt, not only
by the army but by all flying people
We owe it to these dead to do all that
we can to remove the risk from fivinp.
and, In my opinion, Capitalization Will
go furthest toward doing that"

tration leaders in Congress have de.
termlned to put through as speedily
as possible legislation authorizing the
immediate construction of an airplane

and modern as any afoat, it was

1t was agreed soon after the present

iose no time has come with informa-
ton furnished the House Committee
on Naval Affairs by Admiral Robert

which shows several other nations are
so far ahead of the United States in
inns respect that the usefulness of the

Great Britain already has seven of
these ships, capable of carrying hun

countries, the United States is almost
totally deficient in this arm of the
service, as it has no vessel specially
constructed as an airplane carrier, and
but one vessel, the Langley, which is
being converted for use as carrier
from an old collier. This converted d
vessel is wholly deficient in speed and
will be useful only for experimental
purposes.
unde~ the pressure from Secretary
DENLY and the navy chiefs q bill au-
thorlzing the construction of modern
carrier was reported favorably during
the last week by the House Committee
on Naval Affairs. 1t provides, through
modification of the 1915 building pro-
gram, that $24,00O,000 will be made
available for this purpose House
leaders intend to put the measure
through as soon as possible, and it is
hoped to send it to the President
within the next. three weeks.
The committees report says that the
authorization should be regarded as
modification of the program, as it has
been definitely determined by the Navy
Department to abandon the construc
tion of twelve of the torpedo boat de-
stroyers, which had been previously
authorized. This means a reduction in
the ultimate cost of that program of
approximately $24,000,000.
