WAR THREATENED
BEFORE TREATY
A Statement Alleged To Have Been
Made BY Sir Geddes That Treaty
Averted War In Pacific Starts
Argument.

Washington, D. c., March Is - A
statement attributed to Sir Auckland
Geddes, British ambassador to the U.
S., that the four power pacific treaty
averted an imminent war in the Pa
cific today put new life into the op-
position to the four power pact.
Senator Robinson declared that if
Sir Geddes was right in his statement
the senate should vote against, not
only the four power pacific treaty,
but the naval limitation agreement.
If it be true that, at the time the
treaty was made Japan was prepar-
ing to attack our possessions in the
Pacific, "Then instead of disarming
we should call upon America to arm,'
"If this statement is correct then it
would be dangerous for US to scrap
our battleships."
The statement attributed to Sir
Geddes was said by Senator Robinson
to have been made yesterday in Los
Angeles during speech by the am
bassador.
Senator Johnson Of California ask
ed Robinson if Sir Geddes was "In
my state making speeches for the
ratification Of the four power Pacif-
ic treaty" This started a strong dis
cusson between the senators.
Senator Underwood and Senator
Lodge were called on for information
the statement which it is
alleged Sir Geddes had made.

ABOARD RArrLgsHip ARKANSAS (via
Norfolk. Sept. 27.--The science Of
naval warfare entered a new phase
to-day when eighteen seaplanes firing
torpedoes made q spectacular attack
on the battieship Arkansas In series
of feet maneuvers ,seventy-five miles
off the Virginia capes.
The planes, flying from base in
Hampton Roards. ninety miles dis
tant, fired seventeen terpedoes at the
battleship. Nine were hits. The bat
tieship was travelling at seventeen
knots In a zigzag course trying to
dodge.
This Is the first time In naval his
tory that a torpedo attack has been
made from the air. and the results are
held by officers of the Atlantic fleet to
be deeply significant. The purpose was
not only to develop fighting tactics tor
aircraft at sea but also defense tactics
for warships. The activities were in
general line with the bombing tests of
year ago, when ten one time German

were duds These torpedoes withstood
the shock of falling into the water and
recovered themselves In a short time
before going on their set course. Eigh-
teen OF the seaplanes carried torpedoes,
but only seventeen were fred. as the
steering gear OF one failed to function.
The seaplanes were OF the p. T. type.
made by the Navy out of old airplanes
salvaged after the war. Experiments
are under way TO provide special planes
for this service. The torpedoes were
slung under planes which were equip
ped with twin pontoons.
One seaplane was forced down Just
before getting back to base. for lack OF
gasoline.
Rear Admiral Moffitt. chief of the
Navy Air Service. who watched the
tests from the bridge OF the Arkansas.
said he regarded the demonstration as
one which means a new phase OF naval
warfare. In this tho high officers of the
feet agreed.
Tho outstanding feature was that a
fleet attacked by torpedo firing air
planes In large numbers would easily be
sunk unless properly protected by air
craft of it's own and effective anti-air-
craft guns.

declared that the whole policy of the

The Government, he added. was nego-
tiating for the lease OF not distant

The battieships Arkansas. Wyoming
and North Dakota. with three destroyer

alone was the target. One torpedo hit
the North Dakota by accident. but this
was not registered as hit. The tor
pedoes. OF course. were dummies. al
though OF standard weight and function
Ing in every way like live torpcdoes
except to explode.
Torpedoes Leap at ship.
The aircraft equipped with the tor
pedoes were preceded by a group Of
scout planes. also flying from the Hamp-
ton Roads naval base. so that total
OF thirty-nine seaplanes participated In
the practice. They were sighted about
an hour before the attack, and the war
ships at once began defensive maneu-
vers.
The seaplanes made directly at the
Arkansas. They kept high until about
$500 yards away. then they swoopcd
almost 10 the surface OF the water 70
discharge tho torpcloes. At times the
planes came to within fifteen feet OF
the surface before firing. getting away
again the instant the torpedo had been
fired and hurrying out OF range OF sup
posed anti-aircraft fire.
The torpedoes fell to the water. but
recovered with astonishing rapidity-
scarcely more than a niinute--and then
rushed at the lodging ship. From the
Arkansas bridge where the course was
directed, 1t was possible to see the wake
of the oncomlng missiles, with their
ominous wakes.
The Arkansas lodged five of the
torpedoes. Any two of the nine hits
perhaps one of them alone--would have
been sufficient, had the torpedoes con-
tanned explosives. to put her out OF
action.
One of the seaplanes. flying course
opposite to that of the Arkansas, set
loose a torpedo. which turned AT an
angle of ninety degrees and nit amid
ships Thus 1t became known for the
first time that new and remarkable
torpedo firing contrivance had been de-
vised one that fires a curved shot.
Up to this time firing OF torpcdces
has been confined to surface craft, such
as battleships and destroyers. The
Navy air service has been conducting
experiments for year to perfect 4
torpedo to be launched from airplanes
as a new element In naval warfare,
having the swift striking advantages
OF alrcrafts.

More Deadly Than Bombs.

Tn many cases Navy officers believe
torpedoes fired from airplanes arc more
destructive than bombs. Torpcdoes
dig into the vitaIs OF ship. where
greatest damage may be done, while
bombs falling only with the force of
gravity detonate on protective decks,
or. missing the target, below the water
line.

seaplanes were effective. in itself de-

easier still to get mixed unless they

If you want to be sure to save GER
tain colors of flowers. it Is wise to
tie a little label to the stalk of the
plant while it Is still in bloom, as 1t
is difficult to remember the colors
after the flowers have faded. Yellow
hollyhocks. the pale bella donna

bine are precious. and the seeds
should be carefully marked, saved
and boarded.
Just now, too, is the time to gather
the seeds of all the largest and best

seeds of the tall African marigolds.
Let few of the finest blossoms go
