family Bible on which Mrs. Ida Man.
ming Blankenburg of Tulsa. Okla,

Prof. Augustus II. Gill Of the Mass

San Diego Will
Be Home Port for
Big u. S. Dirigibles

San Diego. Cal, July 21-(AP)-
Plans for making San Diego the
home airport of the rigid dirigibles
Los Angeles and Shenandoah and the
main operating base of all future
rigid type aircraft constructed by the
United States navy, were announced
today by Secretary of the Nay Will
bur.
The unexpected announcement
came voluntarily from the secretary
only a few minutes before he sailed
with the congressional committee
aboard the transport Henderson for
Hampton Roads and Washington.
San Diego Is the only logical place
in the country where lighter than air
training and flight operations of all
kinds may be carried out under the
best possible conditions the year
round" said Secretary Wilbur.
1T Is the intention of the navy de-
partment as soon as funds may be-
come available to transfer the entire
lighter than air activities of the navy
to San Diego. The reason for this is
that these is greater opportunity
here for training with the fleet"
The secretary's decision indicates
that it is the intention of the govern
ment to centralize at San Diego all
flight training activities of all types
of aircraft, developing San Diego in
to one of the worlds greatest air
bases, IL not the greatest. If that IS
done, large sums will have to be ex-
pended here for great dirigible han
gars. shops, barracks and other
buildings needed for the proper de-
velopment of lighter than air sta

SEES DANGER IN
BRITISH CONTROL OF
GIBRALTAR, SUEz

Wllllamstown, Mass, July 27.-
(AP)-Britain's hold on the Medit-
erranean Sea is endangering the very
life of Italy, Count Antonio Cippico.
Italian Fascist senator, said tonight
in his second lecture at the Institute
of Politics here. That one of Presi-
dent Wilson's fourteen points which
deals with the freedom of the seas
foundered in the Atlantic" the
speaker added.
Plcturing his country as depend
ent for her existence upon the good
will of those holding Gibraltar and
the Suez Canal, Count Cippico urged
that steps be taken in time to Sc
cure just settlement between the
civilized nations on a basis likely to
insure peace"
To-day the Mediterranean has re-
acquired its former importance" he
said. with the Suez Canal more
than ever 1t is the imperial road
which leads from the Atlantic to
India, East Africa and Australia. Its
gates are Theoretically closed by a
nation whose shores are not bathed
| by it's waters.
! 1T is all very we'll to talk of per-
petual and universal peace. espec-
tally when such talk comes from the
| politicians of that great nation. The
| fact remains that one of the fourteen
| articles, that dealing with tie free
dom of the seas, foundered and few
can say how, in the Atlantic. Had
it been candidly accepted by all the
great victorious nations the recent
| peace of Versailles would have is
! sumed a different "spect. But to
comply with 1t victorious England
would have had to hand over to the
Mediterranean powers, or rather to
| the civilized world, the Keys of Glib
raltar and of Suez. Our British
! friends do not always seem to real
ize the gravity of the political sit
| uation which makes them the UNI
pires of the fate, nay, of the very life
of several great Mediterranean ma
tions, and more especially of Italy
| the most Mediterranean of all, for
she is enclosed in the inland sea
| with TO possibility of exit
More than 100000 Italians
could be starved in a few weeks II
those who hold the cateways of the
| Mediterranean were suddenly to de-
eide on hostilities and close those
gates to the imports of grain, coal
fuel oils and iron, of all the raw
materials, in short, essential to the
life of a modern civilized nation
Italy is today the gravest problem
! of the Mediterranean. 1t is an ur-
gent necessity, growing every day
more urgent, to insure to the nation
tranquility in i,s political and eco
nomic life. freedom of movement
and outlets suited to the needs of Its
ever-expanding population and In
dustries.
by studying this problem In time
and in the light of present political
realities. it may be possible to hno
a reaceatle solution. None can fai
to see that the destiny that guldes
nations does not work blindly in the
new history of Italy and of the sea
from which she emerged"
