so lar as known, only two men es-
capped. They floated free Of the
doomed air cruiser in parachutes. All
the rest are believed to have been hurl-
ed to death.
The zR-2 had just returned from a
trial trip which lasted all day Tues
day, during which she cruised over
great part Of England and was
blown some distance Off her course
by gale over the North sea. The
BRUSH airmen were putting the d.

AT 1880 p. m. it was reported that
there were six survivors, but that two
OF them were seriously injured.
At 4:3O Wednesday the huge shin
appeared over Howden and signaled
that before landing she would make
speed trial. The big crowd wait.
Ing on the landing field, around the
hangar. cheered and waved as the
airship started northward toward
Hull.
She swung through the air lanes
above the city and above the mouth
OF the Humber at steadily increasing
speed. Watchers below thought all
was going well. The doomed men
ABOARD, in her control cabins and on
the narrow runways between the mo-
tors, must have had moments warn.
Ing OF the disaster, it is believed. 9th
erwlse none would have been able to
get clear for the parachute jump.
Just as the ZR-2 came around in a
great curve high over the housetops
OF Hull, near the mouth of the river.
where 1t is very wide and deep, there
was flash and great burst Of smoke
and flame.
while the mortified watchers gazed
up at the tragedy in the sky, they
heard the rumble of the distant ex.
plosion. Then the great steel frame
work doubled and the back of the
great ship broke.
Slowly at first. then with ever in.
creasing speed, she plunged down. Be.
hind her floated a pail of smoke.
She struck the surface of the Hum.
Der with terrific upheaval of foam
ing water.
Immediately dozens Of small boats
put out from the wharves and from
vessels moored nearby, the seamen
pulling with all their strength to be
the first at the spot where the ZR.2
had sunk and to search for possible
survivors.
At first it was feared that not one
man had escaped. 1t was believed
that all had persisted, either by the
flames during the long fall or bv
after the ship hurled into
the Humber.

wish have become the subject of political contro-
versy this particular moment.
The French press has been making a gallant at
tempt to explain the real meaning of the American
policy, which they do not quite understand. without
expressing the feeling that the treaty takes good
of American interests without making any
ton of American responsibilities. Referring to the
parts of the treaty of Versailles which referred to
in the Berlin treaty the Temps remarks that "it is
easy that this distinction between stpulaons
maintained and stipulations suppressed has not been
made in the interest of Germany, but very much in
the interest of the United States, such it is
ceived there" A number of papers mention the
fact that the contents of the treaty not pre-
viously made known to the allies The GdHlois says
of They have taken from the treaty of Yer
sailles everything favorable to their interest and
they have declared themselves not bound by any
thing prejudical. They have pro6ted by the expe-
rence of the other allies. If they derive from
common victory fewer deceptons than France,
gratitude to great allies need not be mixed with
jealousy bitterness"
The London Times thinks the German treaty is
definite indication of the American intention to take
interest in European affairs. The Times also takes
note of the fact that the treaty takes very good
of American interests but it adds that it does be-
lieve that the allies will be willing Ito continue do
the drudgery of the execution of peace while the
United States stands at convenient distance reap
the share of benefits that may emerge"

The Premiers at Washington.

The opposition to the announced plans of the
prime ministers of Great Britain France and Italy
to attend the disarmament conference in Washington
is not confined to the Northclfe press. Pierre Ber
nus has written lengthy article in the Paris Journal
dcs Debdts in which he expresses strong dsapproval
of Premier BRAND for having set bad example for
the other chiefs of state in declaring his intention to
head the French delegation. Bad examples he de-
cares, always infectious, but there is still time
for these statesmen to change their plans and thus
give evidence of intelligence and character. Unless
these plans changed, NJ. Bernus fears that the
conference will become only another powwow of pre-
miers will result only in setting up new supreme
council OF the Pacific, an institution which is de-
sired
NJ Bernus is by sanguine as to the
OF the conference. After a careful analysis
OF the issues, he is Of the opion that the French

virtually repetition of the Versailles violence. Ger
newspapers have not seen fit to express them
selves decidedly the subject of the treaty The
general attitude appears to be to hope for the best.
Satisfaction is expressed that the technical state of

new treaty does not specifically refer to German
war guilt is appreciated and applauded by the Ger

These delicate matters in which France should
not become involved They are matters upon which
America and Japan must reach agreement before

not to be complete failure. M. Bernus does not
believe that any such agreement is possible and
he is, therefore, not hopeful of the success of the
conference. Great Britain, he believes, is the most

the most exercised the possibility of failure It
