UP FOR Navy DAY

Washington, Oct. 20 (AP).- The
navy will be at home to the public
everywhere throughout the United

Navy Day, which this year comment
crates the 150th anniversary of it's

Selected on the birthday of rheo-
dore Roosevelt, the day falls in the
week which, in IT'S, bills were re-
ported to the continental congress
Tor 100000 to outfit armed vessels
for use in the Revolution. Early in
November of that year these bills
were enacted and in the same month
rules for the regulation Of the navy
OF the United States colonies were
considered and adopted.
The celebration has been approved
by President Coolidge. The program
calls for navy yards and all other
shore stations to be thrown open to
publ; inspection, while all available
ships have been sent to different
ports for the public to visit.
Orders have been issued by Secre-
tary Wilbur for those ships at the
various ports to full dress ship"
while naval officers in Washington
and at short stations who ordinarily
appear in civilian clothes, will wear
their blue uniforms.
In addition to the public inspection,
there will be athletic meets and other
events. A number of addresses by
naval officers and civilians have been
arranged throughout the country,
many to be broadcast by radio.

Paris, Oct. 26.-(AP)-In the
same room where Woodrow Wilson
in the closing days of the peace con-
ference proudly read out the arti-
cles of the league of nations coven-
ant. and M. Clemenceau, as presi-
dent, in staccato tones declared them
adopted, the council of the league
tonight delivered what is virtually
an ultimatum to Greece and Bull
garia that they must Internationally
and within twenty-four hours order
all their troops to retire behind their
respective frontiers. /,
It is the first time since the birth
OF the league that the council has
gone SO far. Its action constitutes
the supreme test of the leagues
power to break up war. 1t was car
ried out in a tense atmosphere In the
crowded Clock, Hall of the foreign
office, and was accompanied by an
admonition from Austen Chamber
lain, British foreign secretary. that
1t would be an intolerable thing
indeed, an affront to civilization
if with all the machinery OF the
league at their disposal and the
council ever ready with its good Of
fees, frontier incidents like those be-
tween Greece and Bulgaria should
lead in warlike operations instead of
being submitted for peaceful adjust
ment to the council, which would
always safeguard the honor and In
terests OF the nations involved.
The resolution subsequently
adopted ultimately was really q re-
proof to both Greece and Bulgaria
for their failure to obey President
Brands injunction to cease all hos
tilities and withdraw behind their
frontiers. It was framed by Mr..
Chamberlain after the Greek repre-
sentative, NJ. Carapanos, had told the
council that the Greek troops would
evacuate Bulgarian soil as soon az
all the Bulgarians got out of Greece.

consideration his financial projects

ASKED by Premier Painleve. tNe
man who brought him back to nuh-
nc lie for his resignation, M, Call
aux stoutly refused. He declared
tnat II the cabinet resigned and was
reconstructed without him on a plat
form involving capital levy. he
would overthrow it in parliament.
Inc measures which the finance
minister forced upon the considera-
tlon or the cabinet are based upon
the organization of an amortization
commission which would have charge
OF the issue of paper money, short
term bonds, regarded as belonging
In the same category, and the accu-
mutation of sinking fund to guar
antee the retirement of any new is
sue or bank notes and the payment
OF the interior and exterior debts.
The amortization commission would
have also the duty of preventing the
total circulation and the floating debt
ever exceeding the present limit.
The finance minister's resolute at
ttude upset all the calculations of
the premier and the majority of the
cabinet, who, averse to hearing his
new projects for financial restora-
tioin, were forced to give way and
postpone their final decision until
the proposed measures had been
passed upon.
This mornings session of the cab
met was one of the stormiest on
record. NJ. CaillauX not only declar-
ed war on what he called the mon
eyed coalition" which was fighting
him, but demanded of the minister
of justice that action be taken
against French bankers, who, he
said, according to information re-
ceived through diplomatic channels,
had been adding to the difficulties Of
the hour by selling francs short in
the foreign markets.
The fate of the cabinet will prob
agly be decided at meeting of the
ministers tomorrow.
The general opinion is, the cabi-
net cannot outlast the opening OF
parliament.

Claims Millions
Spent on Aviation
Have Been Wasted

Des Moines, Ia, Oct. 26.-(AP)-
Defending the progress of American
naval aviation against its critics,
Rear Admiral Moffett, chief of the
navy bureau of aeronautics, in an
address here today before business
men denied that the navy had spent
millions on aviation and had little
to show for it.
1.-THE navy" he declared, has not
yet, bought plane or engine which
was not at the time it was purchas-
ed as good as any plane or engine
in existence to perform the work
which it would be called upon to do.
We feel that naval aviation today Is
deficient in numbers, due to the nee
essity for economy throughout the
Federal government, but we also feel
that it is not surpassed in types Of
aircraft by any nation in the world.
To-day we have suitable types of
planes for use from every type of
ship and for their specific purposes
they have no superiors. We have
developed the catapult to a point
where thirty of them are in use day
after day and we have not yet had
a serious casualty from their use."
Admiral Moffett who is here for a
series of navy day addresses, point
ed out that aviation wa not a cheap
form of national defence. The over
head for maintenance and operation
Of aviation, he explained, was very
considerable while a plane with pro-
per power units and sufficient spare
parts cost from $4,000 to $150,OO0
and it's life on the average is but
three years.
The navy in the five years from
1920 to 1925, Admiral Moffett stated,
spent $751;, 100000 on aviation of
which $30,600.000 was for the pur-
chase of aircraft.
During this period, he said, the
navy purchased Cos planes and 1884
engines, built the Shenandoah and
one small non-rigid airship, acquir-
ed the Los Angeles and provided for
the training of the crews of the
lighter than air ships as we'll as pur-
chased a great amount of miscel-
laneous materials.

MOB THREATENS
AS CHINESE talk
TARIFF TO POWERS

Peking, Oct. 26-(AP)-Delegates
OF twelve powers, besides China, as
sembled in the picturesque winter
palace in the old Forbidden City Of
the Emperors today for the opening
of the Chinese customs conference
ana heard China's spokesman pro-
pose that the powers restore to her
complete control of her customs tar
if, withheld for eighty years by her
foreign treaties.
While smooth progress was made
within the conference hall, where for
elgn delegates made sympathetic re-
pies to ChinaS requests, there was
disorder outside. Two thousand stud
ents, carrying banners reviling the
provisional government, held q dem
onstration outside the palace enclos-
ure, demanding entrance. When this
was refused they battled the police
with sticks and stones, killing one
policeman and seriously wounding a
score more. Several studens were in
Jured and others arrested.
In the center Of the long conference
table in the Winter Palace sat the
Chinese delegation On their right,
according to an alpha betical arrange
ment, were placed the American dele
gates, John V. A. MacMurray, minis
ter to China, and Silas H. Strawn.
The other powers represented were
Great Britain, Japan, France, Italy,
Belgium, The Netherlands and. Por-
tugal-signatories of the Washington
conferencet reaty under which the
conference is held-and Sweden, Nor
way, Denmark and Spain. which have
adhered to the treaty.
China's desires were set forth by
DR.. c. T. Wang, premier and foreign
minister and graduate of Yale Uni
versity, who followed Marshal Tuan
Chi-Hui, the chief executive, and
Shen Jui-Lin, the foreign minister.
Foreign Minister Shen, named chair
man of the conference by acclama-
ton, then spoke, and at his request
DR. Wang, the negotiator of the
Russo Chinese agreement of last year
presented the Chinese proposals.
These ask that the powers restore
tariff autonomy to China and accept
a new national Chinese tariff law to
take effect not later than January l,
1929, setting schedules ranging be-
tween z IL and 40 per cent for most
imports and between so and 80 per
cent for wines and tobacco. China
would then agree to abolish the likin,
of taxes on inter- provincial COM
MERGE.
The keynote Of the powers replies
was struck by John W A. MacMur-
ray, the American minister, who said
the United States was prepared to
consider open mindedly and gener-
ously any reasonable plan with a
view of realizing Chinas aspirations.
A statement Of the rather conser-
vative Japanese attitude was given
by Eki Hicki, who reminded the
Chinese that Japan had won tariff
autonomy only after a struggle Of So
years, and that China coud expect to
reach her goal only by successive
stages. He asserted that tariff au-
tonomy pre-supposed the existence
of a strong, unified government and
the removal of restrictions on foreign
trade.

Captain Robinson of the Common
wealth said he believed the wheel
struck submerged obstruction. The
damage was to the port wheel, which
had two buckets and their arms
smashed, as well as the rim on both
sides. As soon as the passengers
had been ferried ashore from the
outer bay the vessel was towed into
her dock here and repairs were
started. The steamer Richard Peck
