Admiral Coontz Reports to
Navy Department Vessels
Made 20 Knots in Fog.
DENNY ORDERS PROBE
OF DISASTER RUSHED
Statements by Officers as to Visi-
bility Confict-Believed They
Had Free Route.

Admiral Coontz, commanding the
United States fleet. reported to the
Navy Department today that no ade-
quate explanation had been given for
the unusual position of the seven
American destroyers when they were
wrecked on the California coast Sat
urday night. He declared the SQUAD
ron was far off it's prescribed course
and was steaming in a fog at twenty
knots.
Estimates of visibility which OBJ
tanned at the time Of the disaster, Ad-
miral Coontz said, varied among Of
hcers on the destroyers. His message
did not go into details.
Orders Inquiry Pushed.
Officials in charge of the inquiry
nave been ordered by the department
TO expedite any information bearing
upon the causes of the disaster with
out waiting for completion Of the in
vestigating boards report Secretary
Denby was said to feel that the un-
usual features of the case necessitated
special action.
A contract for the saIvaging of the
Cnauncey, the only ship of the seven
regarded as having salvage value was
approved today by Secetary DENLY.
The dispatch from Admiral Coontz
Calls Criticism premature
The seven wrecked destroyers were
without question many miles out of
their reckoning, but 1t was believed
they were in free route. Statements
as 10 visibility conflict. Speed was
twenty knots. Comment and criticism
Is premature at present. Only a court
or inquiry can establish facts"
BY free route naval officers
designate any course which Is be-
lieVed to be free from natural OBJ
struction, such as shoals and reefs
but not necessarily from shipping,
AS having some possible bearing
upon. the disaster. the attention of
the department was called today to
the case of the steamer Santa Rosa
which was wrecked July II. 1911, at
almost the identical spot on which the
destroyers grounded The Santa Rosa
had steered the same course during
twenty years service between San
Diego and San Francisco, when,
through no established cause, she was
suddenly thrown ashore. In subse-
quent litigation the theory was ac-
cepted that an unexpected coastal
current led to her loss.

ONE-WAY STREETS
GAINING SUPPORT
Ban on Parking Only AIterna-

mittee Member.

Support of the one-way street
proposition for Washington was
voiced today by N. o. Eldridge, a
member of the Commissioners traffic
committee and an official of the
American Automobile Association.
At the same time the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association today
mailed a QUESTIONABLE to all mer-
chants whose stores and business
houses are located on one-way
streets, asking for answers to de-
tailed questions regarding the effect
such an arrangement has on their
business and on traffic conditions
generally.
No Fatality Reported.
Pointing out that not a single
fatality had been recorded on any
ons-way street in the District since
their inception and that general sat
isfaction had been expressed regard
ing their efficiency in handling large
volume of traffic. Mr.. Eldridge ex-
pressed today the opinion that, with
perhaps a few notifications of the
present experiment, one-way streets
streets should be retained as per-
manent part of the regulations.
The safety of these Streets" said
Mr.. Eldridge, lis one of their best
the motorist but it is much easier
for the pedestrian, because he
has to look only in one direction for
oncoming vehicles. 1t is especially
significant that accidents on these
streets have been conspicuous by
their rarity"
Parking Issue Comes Up.
These streets are. of course, an ex-
pertinent. The traffic committee and
the A. A. a. take the position that
they have been tried and proved in
other cities comparable in size to
Washington; that they handled much
traffic during the Shrine convention
and since with ease and safety, and
that il will watch the experiment
closely TO detect flaws which might
develop.
I'm spite of washington's wide
streets there is not enough room, with
cars parked on either side, for more
than single-file driving of cars If all
streets were two-way. The traffic
to such an extent that drastic meas
ures are necessary to aid in correct
ing it.
Parking Is Vital.
'Tt has almost resolved itself into
this question; Two-way streets and
no parking or parking and one-way
streets. If those who oppose the one
way idea will take this very serious
aspect into consideration there will
probably be hesitancy in asking for
the adjustment OF one-way streets.
Parking has been found necessary
that business may be conducted in
the downtown section of the city.
without parking business would be
almost at standstill.
THE one-way street, as far as |
can see. Inconvenience no one. The
same cannot be said if parking was
to be banned"
Mr.. Eldridge pointed out that one

Mussolini Demands Answer From

Ledger. Copyright, 1923.)
ROME, September 13.-With Mus

the Italian flag floats at half-staff for

He may refrain from stirring up a
hornets nest of public opinion so

fact, Rome already is minimizing the
Fiume episode. 1t is stated on au-
thority that the word "ultimatum"
was unfortunately used. Mussolini
says he sent no ultimatum to the
Jugoslavs; he merely suggested that
the intermediate chickering's between

stead of being split up into the free
city of Fiume with part of the city,
including Porto Barrors. administered
by Belgrade. Jugoslavia has until
Saturday to decide.
According to the Italian thesis, the
Serbs will rel!nquish no rights of
their portion of the city, but will form
a consortlum with the Italians in
Fiume to run the city on a business
basis. At present the Rome govern
ment is spending millions of lire to
insure its prestige among the i'm
poverished Fiumeans. What the die
tator will do no one knows, but IT is
declared on good authority that the

SIX CAN BE SALVAGED.
Chauncey Expected to Be Re

By the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, September IA
Salvage operations will be possible on
six of the seven destroyers which
piled up on the rocks near Point Ar
guello last Saturday night, and the
men and officers of the naval watch
on the somewhat barren shore are
receiving the best of care and atten-
ton. Capt. Nutting. in charge of
naval construction here, said after
returning yesterday from a survey of
the situation.
1t will be possible to save the
Chauncey intact, Capt. Nutting said.
while the situation allows for the re-
moval of the machinery and all other
works from all of the others, with
the exception Of the Delphy, which
is broken in two.
Salvage of the hulls of the more
badly damaged and submerged vessels
would be possible if the weather re-
mains calm, Capt. Nutting said. but
ii is doubted if such salvage would be
wise, as there is a possibility that the
shells would have to be scrapped
even If they were pulled from their
rocky bed, and the cost also would
be prohibitiVe.

STRESEMANN WAITS
REPLY OF FRANCE
Share in Industry of Nation
to Pay Debts Without
Precedent.
BY HIRAM X. MoDERwELL.

BY Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
BERLIN. September 13.-ChanceIlor
Stresemann today was waiting to see
what Frances response would be to
his proposal in last nights speech. Of
fering the allies a direct share in all
German state and private industries.
If the response is favorable. he will
send written offer to Paris.
This proposal represents the high
point in Chancellor Stresemann's pol
icy. and is an offer unprecedented in
history. The German shares thus
offered would be placed in the hands of
the reparations commission, which
would sell them in the international
market for ready cash.
America, as the worlds richest ma
ton, doubtless will be heavy investor.
Hence. 1t is important to know the
value of these pledges.
Earnings $3.50, 900.
The state railroads before the war
earned net profits of $250,00o, 900
private corporations and stock COM
panies earned s40O.000,Oo0 net; state
mines and forests, $4,000. .000--a total
of S6S0,000,O00 year under the best
of conditions.
Chancellor Stresemann's % or 80
per cent participation would yield a
maximum of $17O,000,0o0 a year. The
capitalized value of the shares Of
fered equals only about one-tenth of
the reparations sum demanded under
the present schedule At least 10 per
cent must be deducted from these fig
ureS for German territory lost in the
peace settlement Also 1t would
mean several years before German in
dustry could reach its pre-war pros

Partial Solution.

Hence Chancellor Stresemann's offer
is at best only partial solution. 1t
must eventually be supplemented by
a readjustment of the reparations de-
mands. Its immediate advantage to
France and Belgium is that it would
provide them with much-needed cash.
It's advantage to Germany is that it
would interest world investors, espe-
cially Americans, in German stability
and prosperity and would guarantee
to Germany an opportunity for de-
velopment free from military or trade
restrictions.
But it is precisely for this reason
that the plan is opposed by a strong
section of French opinion. The Ger
mans see a conflict of interests in
Paris, between those wanting rep
arations and those wanting to cripple
Germany as a, competitor of the new
French iron and steel industry.
Meanwhile Germany, at the edge
of the abyss, is nervousiy awaiting
the, outcome.
