Ruchdi Bey Says Issue Is Entirely Up To Britain Has Army of. l5O,00O Ready to Resist Advance.

London, Sept. c6 P--Mosul is Turkish and always must remain Turkish, and the Turkish army. the peace strength of which Is 150,000 is prepared 10 enforce this claim in warfare.
 This statement is attributed to Ruchdi Bey, head of the Turkish delegation to the council of the league of nations. The correspon- dent of the Daily Express in Geneva quotes the Turkish statesman as announcing that it Is the determina- ton of his country 10 possess this province In Mesopotamia, rich In oil lands, and to repudiate the British claim that it must be given to the Kingdom of Irak.
 Ruchdi Is said to have complained bitterly that Irak troops recently made incursions into Mosul across the so-called Brussels line of the frontier and thereby involved the loss of many lives.
 "If British troops enter the dis puted territory. they will be re- pulsed" Ruchdi Is quoted as having eaid
 When asked whether he consid- cred that a sort of state of war all ready existed between Turkey and Great Britain. the Turkish delegate replied vaguely "NaturalIy we Will repulsc any invasion of Turkish ter ritorv. if you call that war;
 Ruchdi said it depended entirely on Great Britain whether there would he war,
 Fear that the tense situation over Mosul might result in clash at arms between Turkey and Great Britain frequently has been voiced both here and at Geneva, especially since the council of the league o1 nations on Sept. 9 passed on to The Hague court certain points involved Tn the dispute. thereby delaying [ settlement of it for at least three months. This fact caused irritation and regret among both parties tt the dispute, and was widely regard ed as endanecring an ultimate agree ncnt. Ruchdi Bey left Geneva fol Angora yesterday. It remains 10 h' seen whether his government vii back up the statements he is re ported 10 have made before his de rarture.

UP ID FRANCE TO
 MAKE NEW OFFERS
No Counter Proposals Have Been
 Made by U, S..
OPTIMISM STILL PREVAILS
American Viewpoint, Told to Call
 laux, Is that Initial Offer Is En- tlrcly Inadequate-Borah Enters the Scene. ..

Washington, Sept. 26 R--Nego- tiations on the Franco-American debt problem up to this point have at least served to enable the French commission to measure American expectations.
 The visiting mission has been plainly informed that the settle ment offer submitted at the open ing of the negotiations last Thurs day cannot be seriously entertain ed as a basis of settlement by the American commission. In setting forth the American view of the of- fer at yesterdays joint session of the commissions, Secretary Mellon was also said to have reinforced that view with observations as to the French ability 10 pay.
 First Proposal Rejected
 While the French have been in- formed that their offer of an initial payment of s25,000,0Oo with gradu- ated increases, over a long period. was wholly inadequate i'll the Amer ican view, the memorandum pre- sented by Mir. Mellon was repre- sented as not to be construed as in any sense counter proposal. Thus the way is left open for further set 1 clement suggestions from the French. and it appeared today that the next move rested with them.
 New Offcr Expected
 It was the general expectation that Finance Minister Cailaux. the French commission chairman, will have new offer to present either today or Monday. Whether there will be another joint session of the two commissions today depended on the desires of the French commis- sion, which, in any event, Is ex- pected to hold further separate sessions during the day to discuss the situation In the light of the American views presented yester. day.
 Still Arc Hopeful
 The trend of the negotiations SC far has cause no lessening of the optimism either of Secretary Mellor or NJ. Caillaux as to reaching an ul innate agreement, despite the wide divergence of views between thu two commissions, it was recalled that the situation was almost paral leled at this stage by the difference which arose during the conversa tions on the British funding settle ment.

ILL-FATED BOAT
 BRIDGEPORT CRAFT Launched at Lake Torpedo Boat
 Co. in September, 1921 SIMON LAKE IS STIRRED
Considered S-5f the Last Word in Submarine COnStrlCtiOn-Doe Know Why Craft Was Running Submerged.

Submerged.
 Bridgeport. Sept. 2G tP(-The Ill., fated submarine S-51 was built by the Lake Torpedo Boat Go, of this city, was launched Sept. 20, 1921, and was the latest submarine of that class built by the company. The S-5r was 240 feet long. 21 feet 10 inches in breadth, with 6 mean draft of 13 feet 6 inches and had q displacement of 993 tons. Her bat tery consisted of five 21-inch tor pcdo tubes, four forward and one aft.
 She was equipped with a sub mersible radio equipment and had two Diesel engines, each driving a twin screw with $50 horsepower be- hind it. When submerged the sub marine was propelled by an elcctri- cal engine of equal power. The Sol. If operated at full crew strength, would have had four off, cers and 3S men aboard.
 Lake Is Affected.
 Simon Lake, inventor of the even keel type of surbmarine of which the four "S' boats built at the Sea view avenue plant of the Lake Sub , marine oC. were the finest examples was visibly affected early today when informed of the disaster which had overtaken the S-51.
 The S-51 was the last submarine built at the Lake plant in Bridge | port" he said, "It was the very last word in submarine boat con struction and was equiped with cleo i trical devices that permitted the men in the control room 10 detect the ap- proach of steamship when the sub marine was running submerged. The purpose of these electrical sound de- tecting devices was to give the men in the control room an opportunity to change their course if they found that another vessel was bearing down upon them,
 Tn the early days of the sub marine, many of them had marrow escapes. It was almost impossible for the lookout on an approaching steamer 10 sec the line of white foam caused by the periscope of the sub merged craft cutting through th' water.
