ABANDON HOPE.
FOR SAFETY OF.
MISSING CREW.
Continue Efforts to
Solve Mystery

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 27.-Two
airplanes today left the government
mail field for Erie, Pa. from which
they will cross Lake Erie to Long
Point, in an effort to find some trace
of the tug Cornell, or its crew, H. B.
Shave, superintendent of the air mail
station announced. The planes will
make a thorough search of the Ca
madam side, searching between Long
Point and Port Colborne, where the
tug Gilmore, yesterday picked up a
life boat of the Cornell in which lay
the frozen body of Michael Paytosh,
airman on the tug.
Assisting the airplanes in the search
will be two tugs which left Erie this
morning. The tugs also will be used
to assist the airplanes in case of an
accident. The airplanes will be gone
four hours, returning here this after
noon.
Hope is Abandoned
Practically no hope is held out for
the safety of the tug. Finding of the
life boat containing the frozen body
of Paytasch, dispelled any belief that
the Cornell is safe. The yawl and its
contents were picked up yesterday
by the Q. A. Gilmore, one of the
tugs assisting in the search as she
cruised in the regular Buffalo course
along the Canadian coast, between
Port Coiborne and Long Point.
Ten miles west off the point where
the lifeboat was located the Gilmore
had previously sighted several oil
cans floating on the light waves. \
slight film of oil covered the waite.
Hoping to find wreckage or the bodies
of some of the other seven men, the
Gilmore cruised about the region for
several hours before taking the life
boat ana body Of Paytosch to Erie.
Report Tug Sighted
A message received by the Great
Lakes Towing company, former own
ers of the Cornell, stated that the crew
of the tug Charles A. Potter. saw what
they believed was the Cornell three
miles off shore between Ashtabula and
Conneaut. Ohio, Thursday night. This
is the only record of the Cornell hav-
ing been sighted since she left here
Thursday afternoon for Buffalo, where
she was to have been delivered to her
new owners, Syracuse firm
What happened to the missing craft
after that is purely speculation and
lonjecture.
The Gilmore and several other tugs
resumed their search early today. H.
B. Shaver, superintendent of the air
mail flying field here, said three planes
would be dispatched to Erie to fly over
he lake between that point and Long
Point, Ont, provided the tugs are sc
stationed as to guarantee the safety oi
he aviators in the event of a forced
landing

LODGE OPENS
ATTACK UPON
BORAH MOVE
Fights Proposal For
World Farley
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Adminis-
tration senators under the leadership
of Senator Lodge of the foreign rela-
tions committee began today a deter
mined fight against the proposal of
Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, for
"a new international conference in
Washington to discuss economic con-
ditions and disarmament.
Senator Lodge who is said by his
colleagues to have ascertained the
views of President Harding and his ad-
ministration advisers, opened his at
tack as soon as the senate began to
work on the Borah proposal, which is
in the form of an amendment to the
annual naval bill requesting the presi-
dent to call an economic and armament
Y difference.
Recall Difficulties.
The foreign relations chairman re-
counted the difficulties of further
armament limitation en- countered at
the Washington arms conference
year ago and declared that in view of
the attitude taken by other powers it
would be useless to attempt to limit
land armament unless it was estab-
Dshed before hand that France had
changed her position"
The fight on the senate floor began
after a score of administration SEN
ators had mapped out program for
providing for resort to parliamen-
tary tactics if necessary to defeat the
move of Senator Borah. Lodge de-
clared the amendment proposal for an
economic discussion was entirely a
new subject foreign to the provision
put to the bill by the house for fur
ther naval limitations conference and
was of grave Importance"
Reviews Work
Reviewing the work of the arms con-
ference the Republican leader recalled
that Premier BRAND had told the con
ference that France could not consent
to any Limitation of land armament
"Of course, that put an end to any fur
ther armament" said Lodge, because
no action could be taken except on
unanimous agreement France may
have changed her attitude within the
year but if so, / have no information
to that effect 1t would be useless to
call land conference without know
ing that France would withdraw her
objections. 1t would be futile unless
it was known that the other powers
wer not going to object at the very be
gining."

Pinero of the World.

A LII through his career-in SEN
= timent, in farce, in problem
play-Sir Arthur's outlook has be-
trayed certain fixed bounds. It
would be wrong to say that he has
no imagination; but his creative
powers, exploited with infinite
adroitness, have always been prac-
tieally dependent upon a note
book and the theater. Even in his
greatest plays one searches in vain
for ideals and adventures of
thought beyond his own realm of
finely observed character and skill
fully elaborated theatrical tech
nique. This has done very much.
after all, to make him a master
craftsman of the stage. With all
his gifts of wit. industry, patience,
ingenuity. perception and knowl-
edge of men and women Sir Ar
thur Pinero has, from the begin
ming, been of the world worldly. He
has had no message TO bring from
otherwhere-no vestige of symbol
ism or even of the translucentirony
that sometimes takes its place. He
is more exclusively mundane than
Moliere himself. Partly for this
reason his characters-truly stud
led as they so ofte> sra-have been
able to thrive as they nave in the
dry light of the stage. They come
from a hard outlined, dreamless,
extremely limited kindred world of
observed fact and human nature.
