ABANDONED SCHOONER
HAS DISAPPEARED
Crew Rowed Ashore Last Night and
This Morning Could See Moth
ing of Their Vessel.

vinal Haven, Me-, Nov. l6.-The
British three masted schooner Lucy r
was abandoned late last night when
she struck on Old Horse ledge, just
south of here, while bound to Boston
from North Sydney, n s., with lso
tons Of salt fish.
To-day she had disappeared and a
tug was chartered at Rockland to
search for her. Whether the schooner
floated off with the rising tide and
sank or drifted out to sea was un-
known. The crew of five rowed here
to-day, after spending the night on a
small island, then proceeded TO Rock
land y.steauer.
The schooner was built at Wey-
mouth. N s., year ago, and registered
12S tons. She was valued at $4,000 by
her owner, James r. Rood of Halifax,
and fully insured.
The craft began pounding as soon az
she struck the ledge and finally leaked.
Captain Daniel Maher, fearing that she
would sink, ordered the crew to take TO
their boat. They rowed short distance
to the island, where they remained over
night. When they looked for the Lucy
X. this morning she was nowhere in
sight. No. trace of wreckage was found.

Mata Bockhovitch, ugo-Slaviaf rep
resentative on the reparations commits
sion, was here as head Of the delega-
ton from his country to defend Jugo-
Slavia's position. The case is consider
ably complicated by the Mirdite re-
public, which was organized last sum
mer in northern Albania. The Jugo-
Slavian officials have contended that
it was necessary TO establish which OF
the Albanian governments-that Of
Tirana or the Mirditc republicans

per cent and over, without making any
examinations or investigations what
soever Of their moral character, crimi-
nal record, habits, reputation, industry,
faithfulness, workfulness, veracity or
loyalty. The rating the thing which
determines their relative positions on
the eligible register, does not take into
account even a fraction of one per cent.

BY Four Delegates.

Washington. Now l6 lBy the Assoc

over the details of the naval reduction
proposals there were indications that
the plan presented by the American
delegation was in itself a compromise
on what American naval experts had
previously planned.
No authoritative pronouncenent was
made but there were intimations that
the most vital element of the plan
the naval replacement scheme
been framed by the four American del
cgates themselves, all civilians, the
original scheme suggested by the
American naval advisers having been
regarded as probably unacceptable to
