ABOARD L. S. s. SEATTLE, OFF
COAST OF LOWER CALIFORNIA,
March 1.-THE United States Meet.
the greatest American sea power ever
concentrated in the Pacific, was cruis-
ing TO San Diego today.
Ten dresdnaughts, 8 scout cruisers,
SO destroyers. 15 submarines. an air
craft carrier, and many auxiliaries
moved on in majestic alignment under
the four-star flag OF Admiral Robert
E. Coontz, commander-in-c chief.
These seaishters at dawn yester-
day completed one OF the most spec
tauclar maneuvers in the history OF
the Pacific, problem which after
two weeks Of cruising eliminated in
a nine-hour night battle.
1t was a great victory for the sub
marines, for the underwater type OF
craft saved" the United states from
invasion and were responsible for the
defeat Of the enemy Black Meet.
Major interest centered In the per-
formanee Of a dozen s-type, 300-foot
submarines, which completed a 2,400-
mile dash from the Panama Canal
under battle conditions and effectively
penetrated the lines Of the great in
vading Black feet.
The new scout cruisers, like the
subma rines, participated In Meet ma :
neuvers for the first time. Naval
officers said that the maneuvers indi-
Gated that one of the Navy's greatest
needs for scouting is more OF these
cruisers.
The hattleshIp and light cruiser
divisions will proceed from San Diego
to San Pedro Monday, preparatory
to practice March ,25, in which all
the battleships FIRE salvos at targets
with the 200 big guns Of the neet

Baby Paulina Gets
Her Initial Glimpse
Of the White House
Little Miss Long,uorth Is
Much at Home IL, Big
Market Basket.

Baby Peulina Longworth was today
given her first glimpse of the White
House, where her proud parents were
married, and where her illustrious
grandfather was such dominant
figure.
Mrs. Alice Longworth had the infant
with her when she accompanied her
brother Kermit to the State Depart
ment. and, while the brother was in
side on personal business, the mother
and the child remained in the Long
worth automobile parked at the curb
on West Executive avenue, with the
White House in full view.
Paulina was not parked upon her
mothers lap, however, nor was she
resting among cushions Of the auto
mobile seat. but all the while she was
dozing contentedly upon a pillow
placed in an ordinary market basket,
which Mrs. Longworth told some
friends who stopped to greet her had
cost exactly S5 cents. The basket had
and sported a gay ribbon or two, and
Paulina seemed to prefer the basket
as resting place to anything yet
provided.
The, mother remained firm in her
determination not to have any photo
graphs taken of the famous baby. She
assured the army of news camera
men who frequent the vicinity OF the
White House, and who swarmed about
the car when they learned of its prom
inent occupant, that she would let
them shoot" Paulina next month.

ever. that powerful economic COM
munities exist outside the league,
and although an asgressor state
doubtless would suffer, there is no
presumption that it would be crushed
or even that it would suffer most.
Mr. Chamberlain disliked Articles
VII and VIII of the protocol, which
prohibit military preparation during
arbitration proceedings. He said
these articles meant that an aggressor
was at liberty to select his own date
for picking a quarrel. and that before
that date he might distribute his
armies as he pleased. Supposedly the
troops of his intended victim would
be in the wrong position for defense,
but there they must be kept or the
victim might be charged with breach
of the protocol. He deemed this an
intolerable situation which could
never survive.
EmbsrrasinE TO Navie..
The British foreign secretary con-
tended that these same articles were
even more embarrassing regarding
sea forces. The whole value of the
fleet depended on its mobility, and
to suggest that directly a dispute
arises the ships of maritime powers
must remain immovable would be
asking a threatened state to surren-
der its inalienable right to self-de-
Tense, Ito which: it is never likely
to submit"
Mr.. Chamberlain also strongly OBJ
jected to clause XIV of the protocol
protecting states from any alteration
of frontiers and interference in in
ternal affairs. He said England ac-
cepted this principle. but opposed en-
bodying these generalities in dogmas
of infexible rigidity designed to con-
troll the leagues actions in all cir
| cumstences "and for all time"
He declared that in the sternest
codes OF law mitigating circumstance
were allowed to modify court judg-
ments, and he believed the league
should not deprive itself of the dis
cfeticn on other tribunals exercise
Giving a general characterization
Mr.. Chamberlain insisted that the
protocol destroyed the balance of the
covenant and altered its spirit
Fresh emphasis on sanctions and
elaboration of military procedure" he
said, "insensibly suggest the idea that
| the vital business of the League OF
Nations is not so much to promote
| friendly cooperation and reasoned
harmony IN the mana cement of inter-
| national affairs as to preserve peace
| by organizing war on the largest
| scale"
He believed that if society brooded
| on war II was more liable to, hasten
| its dreaded occurrence than to hinder
| 1t. England. he affirmed, was con-
vinced that anything fostering the idea
| that the main business of the league
was with war, rather than with peace
was likely to weaken it in the funda-
mental task of diminishing the causes
| of war.
! Mr.. Chamberlain doubted whether
| disarmament would follow acceptance
| of the protocol
What those who hesitate to Gisarn1
were in doubt about, he added, was
| whether the covenant would be kept
because some faithless member Of the
| league or some predatory nation out
| side might brush the protocol and
| covenant ruthlessly aside.

NOTWITHSTANDING the an

IN Stammreich, OF the Berlin
University, has confirmed the
transformation Of mercury into
gold, which was reported by his
colleague, Professor Miethe, some
months ago. chemists and physi-
cists in this country appear to
remain unconvinced. They do not
affirm that the transformation Is
ilnpossible-far from that, they
point out that the Berlin expert

traces of gold. and that these
might be explained by the fact
that, practically always, traces
Of gold are found in mercury.
Doctor Stammreich. however.
AYERS that careful analysis OF the
mercury used by him showed
that it was absolutely free from
any trace of gold until after the
transformation process was COM
pleted, when gold was found.
Another criticism is that the
amount of energy employed by
Professor Miethe and Doctor
Stammreich was exceedingly
small in comparison with the
amounts of energy in ali actual
artificial disintegrations thus far
accomplished.
This comes from Professor
