To Use Dirigibles
To Make Photos
OF Solar Eclipse

Washington, Dec. S-A tentative
program of employment for the
navy's two big airships, the Los An
geles and the Shenandoah. during
the next few months, was worked out
today at a conference between OFF,
Gals of the bureau Of aeronauticS
and n group of officers from the
Lakehurst naval station, the home
of both ships.
While the program has not been
disclosed, it is understood the Off
GERS were in agreement as to the de-
STABILITY of using both ships to OBJ
serve and make photo raphic records
of the solar eclipse January "a.
Among projects looked over were
the proposed flights Of the Los An
geles to Panama and to London. and
also details Of the projected use of
the Shenandoah in manoeuvers with
the fleet in Hawaiian waters next
year.
Employment of the Los Angeles Is
on an entirely different basis. as she
can be used for non-military pur-
! poses only, and the Panama and
London flights have been suggested
as a means of testing the practical
bility of establishing commercial air
routes for great dirigibles such as
the German built zeppelin. The
London project also contemplates n
possil :, future fast mail service.

GOVERNOR NOT TO.
|. HEAR SUCCESSOR
TAKE OATH OFFICE
LIBERALISM HARD
HIT IN RESULTS OF
GERMAN ELECTIONS

Berlin. Dec. Soy A. P.)-The
net result Of Sundays balloting for
the Reichstag and the Prussian diet
IL set down by political observers as
indicating a distinct setback for pro-
gressive policies and parliamentary
government in that 1t leaves in its
wake an inter-party situation which
affords no basis for the construction
OF a government pledged to a pro-
gram Of unadulterated liberalism.
This condition is amply reflected
by editorials appearing today in the
Nationalist and Conservative bour-
geoise press which processes to see in
the party lineup the long sought OPP
portunity to eliminate the Socialists,
and possibly also the Democrats from
participation in future governments.
No concealment is made in govern
mental circles of the fact that the
Won Tirpitz-Von Bismarck party has
not been returned in its full former
strength. but has also enhanced its
representation In the Prussian diet
by thirty four mandates.
The circumstance that Ludendorff's
party, through it's loss of eighteen
seats. Is believed to have virtually
eliminated itself from further poll
teal consideration, and that the Com
munists lost seventeen seats in the
Reichstag, is declared to suggest no
useful offset to the realization that
the unrevised official election count,
as now at hand, leaves German in
ternal politics in an awkwardly tan
gled state.
Contemplating the various solu-
tons to the apparent Darliamentary
impasse occasioned by the indecisive
vote, Germania, which is close to
Chancellor Marx. suggests as the only
available solution the formation OF a
So called big coalition.
This coalition, according to the
newspaper. would comprise the So
cialists, Clericals. Peoples Party and
Democrats and, on issues of foreign
policies, would count on the support
Of the Bavarian Peoples Party and
several non partisan minor groups
which control q dozen mandates.
AS the new Reichstag Is allowed
thirty days time to perfect It's or
ganization, II IL not expected that an
attempt will be made before the hoii-
days to disentaHgle the parliament
tary knot.
Nationalist leaders assert that their
rarty can afford to mark time. rms
also appears to be the sentiment
among the Socialists who declare
that they are now the dominating
party in the Reichstag.

SCIENCE CHURCH
TRUSTEE, TIRED OF
ROWS, RESIGNS

Concord, n. H. Dec. John V.
Dittemore of Boston filed in Mer-
rimack county probate court today
his resignation as a trustee under
the residuary clause OF the will of
Mary Baker Eddy to take effect at
the end of this year. A petition
filed by Mr.. Dittemore's fellow trus-
tees for his removal has been await
ing hearing in the probate court.
In a letter setting forth his rea-
sons for resigning Mr.. Dittemore
said:
II do not feel that I can fulfill
the office Of a competent trustee un-
der the will of Mary Baker Eddy
while remaining as a minority of
one and being a party to what
consider a misappropriation of the
church manual, which constitutes an
important part of Mrs. Eddy's trust
property.
I'm a petition filed in your court
on July - last 1t was alleged by my
co-trustees that l have ceased to be
a follower of Mary Baker Eddy. This
statement Is without the slightest
foundation. l accept unreservedly
the teachings of Christian Science
as contained in Mrs. Eddy's writings
and her published rules for the gov
eminent of Christian Scientists. I
also accept the responsibility which
her teaching lays upon me to pro-
test against it's adulteration and to
bear witness to its truth.
THAT Mrs. Eddy, who has been
dead for IA years. is still the leader
of the Christian Science church and
the publicly proclaimed occupant of
the first official office with Its vital
reservations of authority, necessitat-
ing active fulfilluent of its func-
tions, is one of the theories which
the trustees are using their funds to
perpetuate, but which l cannot &C
cept.
I'm view Of my increasing oppo-
sition to the policies and methods of
my fellow trustees, both in respect
of their conception of Mrs. Eddy's
purposes as declared in her will. and
Of her broader purposes to be de-
duced from her writings and from
the church manual, and of their
views as TO what will best promote
the progress OF the religion of
Christian Science, l hereby tender
my resignation as trustee under
the residuary clause of the will OF
Mary Baker Eddy, and as trustee
under clause g thereof, to take ef-
feet at the end of the present quar-
ter, December 81. 1924"
In their petitions for Mr.. Ditto
more's removal. his co-trustees de-
clared that he had become untitled
and unsuitable for the trust and un-
safe to be entrusted herewith 1t
was also alleged that the relations
between him and the other trustees
have become inharmonious and un-
friendly; that lack of agreement ana
cooperation between him and the
other trustees had become frequent
and apparently permanent: that ne
mad ceased to be a director or even
a member of the church named by
the testatrix in the residuary clause
of her will: that he had ceased TO
be n follower of Mary Baker EDDY.
The trustees subscribing to the
petition were Adam II. Dickey OF
cohasset, Mass; James A. Neal OF
Brook.ine. Mass; William r. Rath-
Won of Boston, Edward A. Merritt OF
Concord and Josiah E. Fernaid OF
Concord.
