Picking Mission ON Board

The new French liner Paris, the big
gest and most ornate passenger carrier
turned out by the French, arrived here
yesterday on her maiden run from
aaVre, She left her home pert late
june 10 and under reduced speed came
INTO quarantine at a. M. Yesterday.
She had been heralded as a six-day
snip, but her performance on the run
which ended yesterday puts her tenn
porarlly at least in the seven-day class.
1t was obvious when she got out TO sea
mat she would rot arrive here on
uesday as was expected and, according
TO her officers, she was not pushed. The
Paris Is chunky vessel with big beam
ana large freeboard and has not the
trim lines Of he Mauretania. France
or the lost Provence. but what she
lacks in outward grace she makes up
IN commodious lounges, public rooms
and staterooms.
Innovation in Classification
The Paris is an innovation in the
matter of passenger classification. She
has de luxe accommodations for those
who can afford TO pay the rate, saloon
accommodations for those who ordinar-
ny travel first class. second cabin and
third cabin and steerage, the last
named class being divided among
those occupying staterooms and those
using hunks
According to the ships officers, moth
ing has been left undone to make the
Paris safe ship. She has double
skin, with longitudinal and cross bulk
head sections, which would make it
difficult to sink her in the event of
collision.
She is a quadruple screw vessel Of
33,7oO tons gross register, and is an
oil burner, with engines capable of
driving her at an average speed of
% knots.
rhe most noted artists and interior
decorators have been employed in max
ing her an attractive vessel within.
her passenger capacity approximates
3,240
Among the saloon passengers on the
Paris was Louis Bleriot, the first avi-
ator to fly across the English Channel.
He said that the day is not far away
in commercial aviation when one may
travel by plane from Paris to New
York in time for luncheon and return
to Paris the same day in time for din
ner.
Another traveller was j. Dal Piaz.
president of the Compagnie Generate
Transatlantique, owners of the Paris.
He said the restriction of immigration
to this country would tend to curtail
abroad the construction of large steam
ships like the Paris. He said that
since the end of the war the wages of
workingmen had been cut in France
and that the French workers received
the decrease in a spirit of good will
and cooperation. He mentioned the
Paris as an example of French indus
try among the laboring classes.
"Six months ago." he said, "this yes

Army Flyers Drop Bombs
On Hull of Old Texas
More Than 20 Tons of Explo-
sives Used; Many Direct
Hits Scored

HAMPTON, Va, June 22.-Army air
craft, aggregatirg the largest array of
flying craft assembled at one time
since the armistice, to-day carried out
in Chesapeake Bay, off Tangier Island.
a successful bombing test upon the
hulk of the former battleship Texas.
More than twenty tons of high explo-
sive bombs were dropped, many direct
hits being scored.
Aside from the results of the target
practice, aviation officers were particu-
larly gratitied with the success with
which the comprehensive maneuvers
of many aircraft in formation were
carried out.
Thirteen airplanes of the SE-5 type,
each carrying four 25-pound bombs,
made the preliminary attack, after pur-
suit planes had, theoretically, cleared
the air Of enemy" craft and had
formed protected lanes for the bomb
ers. Army dirigibles located the tar
get and reported on weather con-
ditions.
Following the fast-fying SE-5 came
two groups of De Haviland and Mar
tin type machines, carrying either six
300-pound missiles or four of coo
pounds. which were cut loose from a
height of 1000 feet.
AS the bombs landed the twisted
frame of the old ship was wreathed
in fame and smoke, several of the
charges being seen to explode stimuli
taneously either upon or in close prox-
unity to the wreck. The effect Of the
consolidated detonation was such as to
throw cloud Of water, steam anc
smoke 500 feet into the. air,
Brigadier General William Mitchell
assistant chief of the Army Air Service
was in charge of to-day's test. Accom-
panied by Major T. Dewitt Milling he
personally operated plane over the
scene of the bombing.

PARIS, June ga broader view is
being taken by the Allies on the Upper
Silesiaa dispute, it was learned to-day
by the Tribune correspondent, and
negotiations are proceeding which may
result in the question being peaceably
settled for term Of twenty-five years
ALI details of the new plan are being
guarded, but it is thought the Germans
and Poles may be persuaded to accept
a sort of mutual benefit supervision
by the Allies of certain portions of the
disputed plebiscite area.
Latest reports from Oppeln state
that the French and British officials
there are nearer agreement in their
views than at any other time. 1t is
stated, however, that though the off
cial British view is supported by italy,
there has still been no agreement with
the French.

NATIONAL LEGISLATION

Not a great deal Of legislation was
passed by the Republican congress
during the last, two months of Presi-
dent Wilson's administration. The
President vetoed the bill to revive the
War Finance corporation on January
2, and congress promptly repassed it.
On January IL, $7,100,OO0 was appro-
priated for enforcement of prohibition.
The house decided, on January 10, that
it's membership should not be in
creased. After much debate congress
set the limit Of the regular army at
175,O00 men. Mr.. Wilson vetoed the
measure, but it was passed over his
veto. On February 26 the President
signed the Winslow bill, making avail

President Harding called congress
in extra session on April II and nearly
all the rest of the year it was busy
with the task of redeeming the pledges
of the Republican party, with what
success must be left to individual
judgment. Among the first bills passed
were emergency tariff and immigra-
ton acts; a new army bill cutting the
army down to 10000; and the budget
bill. On April 80 the senate adopted
"a resolution declaring the war with
Germany and Austria at an end: on

Back to Normally was the slogan
Of 1921, not only in America but in
all the civilized nations of the world.
But minor wars, internal economic dis
turbances, chaotic financial conditions
in Europe, widespread unemployment,
famine in Russia and other hindrances
made progress in the right direction
slow, excepting, perhaps, in the United
States.
When the year opened the peoples
were grooming under the burden of
taxation and depression resulting from
the World war. AS it drew to close
they we're still grooming but had hope
fully turned their eyes toward Wash
ingtOn, where the representatives of
great powers were negotiating inter-
national agreements that would elm
mate some Of the causes of war, es-
pecially in the Far East, and limit
the means Of making war. In the
success of this conference and of 9TH
ers that might grow out Of it lay for
the time being the hope of humanity.
Efforts to enforce the terms of the
treaty of Versailles resulted in con-
ficts among some of the new nations
created by that pact, and several Of
the older nations were involved in
warfare. Germany, working fast to
recover her old position in the world
Of commerce, was hampered by the
disastrous decline in the value Of the
mark, and her leaders protested con-
tinually that she could not possibly
pay the war indemnity. Peace negoti-
ations between the British government
and Sim Fein were brought to q sue

Citations pledged support for the open
shop movement. On the last day Of
that month the railway executives.
asked that the national working agree

brOtherhOOds appealed ito President.
Wilson to prevent wage reductions but
he refused to interfere. BY order Of
the railway labor board some Of the
working agreements were terminated
on July / and wage cut averaging u
per cent was put into effect. The rail-
ways later announced they would ask
further wage cuts. The membership
of the brotherhoods decided by vote
that q strike should be called on Octo-
Der 80, but nine allied unions refused
to support such strike, and on an
nouncement by the board that 1t would
not consider wage cut requests until
all working rule questions had been
decided the strike order was cancelled.
On December I the board reconstructed
the working rules so that the open
shop principle was recognized.
In the packing industry there was a
wage reduction in March and strike
was narrowly averted. In September
the large packing plants installed the
shop representation system and in No
vember, under this plan, the employees
consented to further reduction Of 10
per cent. The meat cutters repudiated
this and called a strike on Dec. 8. p
