Smooth Sea Running
The latest weather reports from
Block Island were that a smooth
sea was running.
The attempt with the cranes was
to be duly conscientious but rather
forlorn operation, since nothing but
failure has greeted repeated at
tempts at crane lifting and the last
thirty-six hours have seen both
wreckers forced out of activity by
heavy seas.
This fact caused Admiral Christy
to recommend to the Navy Depart
ment that rescue work be aban-
doned in favor of salvage opera
tions, only to receive Secretary
Wilbur's message to carry on. :"
Later, the admiral sent word to
the local base that he reluctantly
and sorrowfully" conceded that life
aboard the hulk was extinct, but
mt is believed here that this state
ment was issued before the admiral
received his official instructions
from Secretary Wilbur.
$50 Is Given Scare
That the next twenty-four hours
are likely to witness the expected
change in operations was the gen.
eral opinion here, however. The
scare given the crew OF the $50,
and the navy in. general, when the
sister ship Of the doomed craft all
but plunged to an ocean grave
near it's relative yesterday, when
its lines became foules, has all but
convinced the wreckers that sar-
donic fate is against them.
Not only have the cranes failed
to lift the hulk from the oceans
bed by as much as an inch, but
divers, penetrating the great NAV
in its port side, where the City of
Rome struck, have seen enough Of
conditions below to convince them
that all five compartments are
water-logged.
Survivors Testimony
The three survivors have furn-
ished confirmation Of this belief
with statements to the effect that
the ship sank so rapidly that its
crew, many OF whom were asleep.
did not have a chance to take
anything savoring Of concerted
action.
The arrival Of the wreckers to-
day, however, meant q resumption
Of lifting operations that, it was
hoped, would result in the dis
covery OF living men where all
are convinced that no life exists.
The arrival Of the Chewink
brought word that the trouble on
the $50 yesterday was neglible but
might have become serious had
not a diver been rushed below to
free the lines that were fouled. A
submarine, it was said, is so deli
cately balanced that the slight pres
sure might mean q sudden, unan-
ticipated dive to the bottom.

headed the other faction, holding
out steadfastly for a settlement APP
proximating the British terms.
Self Contradictory
The emptiness of the American
statement saying that there were
mo differences Of opinion what
ever' among the American Com
missionerS was strikingly illustrated
within two hours after the com
mission left the White House, when
one of the Commissioners said:
President Coolidge is standing
squarely behind the majority of
this commission.
rs there a majority where no
difference OF opinion exists?" the
Commissioner was asked.
Yes, just that" he snapped
Following the departure of the
French from the Treasury, two Of
the american Commissioners de-
clraed, privately and heatedly, that
under no circumstances would the
Americans agree to any settlement
with the French that contained the
much discussed protective clause"
under which, If Germany falls down
in her PREPARATIONS payments, the
agreement goes by the boards.
Sessions heated
The agreement as announced by
the French last night, contained this
clause, and French spokesman even
went so far as to furnish substan-
tiaI text or it.
The sessions of the American
commissioners this morning are un-
derstood to have been somewhat
warm. Those who have been op-
posed to granting France any terms
appreciably different from those ac-
corded any other debtor nations de-
manded to know whether the French
announcement that a tentative
agreement had been reached was
true. They said they had no such
understanding.
The upshot of It was that the
commissioners went into session
with President Coolidge at the White
House and in that hours confer
ence it was decided to reject M.
Caillaux's proposals, and submit a
new offer which would stand bet
ter chance Of ratification by the
United States Senate.
Text of Statement
The statement issued at the White
House follows:
1.-THE representation in the press
on the supposed authority of a
member of the French Commission
that agreement has been reached
and purporting to give the terms
is entirely incorrect. a
such a statement obviously did
not come from M. Caillauxa because
before the adjournment Of the SUBJ
committees last evening, the French
members were informed by the
American members that their pro-
posals were net likely to be &C.
copied. There have been no differ
ences of opinion whatever amongst
the American Commission.
1.-THE visit to the President this
morning was to inform him Of the
position OF the negotiations. No.
proposal has been made acceptable
to the American Commission, and
none has been submitted to the
President for his approval or dis
approval"
Sensation Created
The meeting with the President
was arranged last night, prior to
the announcement made by the
French at their own embassy that
tentative agreement had been
reached. and in both French and
American quarters it was stated
last night that the visit was to OBJ
tain the Presidents approval or dis
approval of the terms said to have
been agreed upon by Mr.. Mellen
and NJ. Caiflaux.
