BLOCK ISLAND, r. Il Sept.
2s.-All operations for the sal
vaging of the sunken submarine
Ssh, and the possible rescue of
the thirty-four men believed to
have been entombed when she was
rammed and sunk Friday night
by the steamer City of Rome,
were suspended indefinitely shortly
before noon today.
Al high wind raised a choppy
sea and forced the salvage ships
to retire to the lee of Block
Island.
Reports that the salvage ship
Century was coming to the shelter
of the island, and that the salvage
ship Monarch, the submarines and
tenders that have been standing
by where the S-51 went down fiji
teen miles east of Block Island,
had = all sought shelter, were re-
ceived here at noon.
Sea Endangers Divers
The sea, it was said, was so
heavy as to endanger the lives
OF the divers who had been getting
slings about the submarine, pre-
pairing it for lifting by the Century
and Monarch.
When operations would be re-
stunned could not be forecast. That
obviously will depend en- the
weather. which is treacherous and
in the section where the
Ssh went down.
The buoys marking the grave of
the Ssh were all that marked the
scene. as the various craft Of the
rescue expedition ran before the
storm.
Rescue Reports False

Majors Royce and KiIner
Lead in AssaiIing Treatment
of the Corps
By KENNETH CLARK
International News Service

American aviation is in a de-
plorable condition. This was the
frank statement today of Major
Ralph Royce, Brooksfield, San An
tonic, Tex, in testifying before
the Presidents air board.
Echoing views of brother filters,
Royce sharply criticized the
air policies of his superiors and
declared that "acute dissatisfac-
ton" existed among the nations
air pilots. The filters also showed
that they agreed with Colonel
BILLY" Mitchell. whose insistent
advocacy of an air corps has
brought down upon him the wrath
of the high command in the War
Department.
All Demand New Deal

we haven't near the proper equip

Have you reported those condi-
tons to the Departments" asked
Senator Bingham, Republican of
Connecticut. a member of the board.
Yes"
What was the reply?"
Il didn't even get an answer"
replied Royce.
Royce's statements summed up
the testimony of a number of army
filters who appeared before the
board.
Without a break the filters de-
manded a new DEAL" for the air
force, and pleaded for a separate
air corps, opposed by their chiefs
in the War and Navy Departments.
They strongly insisted that Major
General Mason NJ. Patrick, chief
of the army air service, prescribed
the proper cure for aviation when
he asked for creation of a separate
corps.
I'VE need flying men at the head
Of aviation" repeated the pilots.

Must Go Higher, However, He
Is Told, and Withdraws to
Raise Debt Offer
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

Joseph CanlauX, the french Fin
ance Minister, raised his ante to-
day in the negotiations for the
funding of Frances $4,000, OOO,-
600 war debt-but he didn't raise
it high enough to reach a settle
ment.
Under insistent pressure from
the Americans to come forth with
something that will at least ap-
proach the previous settlements
made by the Debt Commission
with seven other European ma
tions, M. Caillaux submitted a
revised schedule of payments, but
it still fell short of meeting
American expectations, and he
withdrew it again to make still
further notifications,
Get Down To Business.
The Americans made a lot of
suggestions to NJ. Caillaux this
morning as to what these modifica.
tons should be. The French lead.
er took them under advisement.
and another joint conference was
arranged for 4 o'clock this after.

The exchanges between the two
commissions today got down to

M. Caillaux regretfully explained
this morning that while certain
parts of Americas counter.offer
handed him last Friday. were ali
right, other parts were equally ali
wrong. His substitute proposal was
then presented, there was short
discussion of it, and the Amer.
cans made the same answer to him
that he had made to them a few
minutes before.

Capacity Discussed
The discussion within the joint
session this morning is understood
to have been confined almost ex-
clusively to Frances capacity to

Miss Vivien Donaldson Gives Up Mis-

full and Loving Service.
There is genuine sadness in the
Cliffside Italian Mission and English
Community Church over the depar-
ture of Miss Vivien Donaldson, mis-
sionary worker there for the past
three and half years, whose faithful,
loving service has endeared her to
the adults whom she has visited each
week, has comforted them in their
bereavements and in their stays at
hospitals, as we'll as the children
whom she has taught during the week
and on Sundays, not to mention the
young men whom she has aided with
their dinners and entertainments.
They recently showed their apprecia-
tion in their Christmas gift to her.
This past Sabbath was her closing
one and she desired to be at all the
services because, for the first time in
her years of service, she missed the
preceding Sunday because of illness.
Among the things which she ac-
complished was the inaugurating of
the Daily Vacation Bible School for
the children's summer occupation.

news OF THE
WOMEN'S CLUBS
civics Department Meeting

The stormy weather prevented
large attendance at the meeting of
the Civics Department of the Cliffsfde
Park Woman's Club on Thursday
afternoon of last week at the home of
Mrs. Charles Reeve but much busi-
ness was transacted with the chair
man, Mrs. G. r. Thayer, in the chair.
Investigation by member had
shown that the borough has law
that all garbage cans must be covered,
and that there is no official work in
regard to mosquitoes in the summer.
A list of the best places to place
the new refuse cans obtained by the
town council was made out, to submit
to that body, and it was voted to re-
quest the council to erect signs at
either end of the borough with its
name and with the local traffic laws,
as no such necessary information at
present exists for the public.
Mrs. Thayer gave report of the
Englewood Conference which she had
attended and Mrs. Hall read about
the National Council of Women's Or
CARNATIONS to be held in Washington.
Literature Department
The regular monthly meeting of the
Literature Department of the Cliff
side Park Woman's Club will take
place, probably on Friday, February
13, at the home of Mrs. John White,
Columbia avenue, Grantwood.
Instead of meeting for luncheon at
1 o'clock, the meeting will take the
form of Husbands Evening, begin
ming at quarter past eight o'clock
in the evening.

planned for this month will be given,
in charge of Mrs. Wallace Mcdonald
and Mrs. Benda with time for discus

Change Made in
Food dHandler's Law

At the last regular meeting of the
Cliffside Park Board Of Health held
last Tuesday night, the board made
several changes in it's method of carry
ing out it's food handlers ordinance.
Chief among these changes is the
examination. Heretofore the food
handlers were required to be ex-
amined by their own family physician
at their own expense. By the new
method, all food handlers may be ex-
amined by the Board of Health physi-
clan (Dr. w. W. Schmidt) at the bor-
ough hall; from $40 a. m., Monday,
Wednesday and Friday of each week
during the last two weeks in Febru-
ary. The board earnestly requests
that all people to be examined get to
the borough hall on time so that the
work may be carried out as quickly
as possible. This examination, under
the improved scheme incurs no ex-
pense on the part of those who are re-
quired to undergo such test How
ever, each person still has the privi-
lege of being examined by his or her
| own physician at his or her expense
The Board of Health makes an earn.
| est appeal to all persons whose fam.
lilies are stricken with contagious dis
eases to request, and explicitly fol.
low, instructions from their attending
physicians as to precautions to take to
! prevent spread of such diseases
Such procedure on the part of the pub.
lie will greatly minimize the possibil.
| ity of all epidemic
The Board also reports that all con.
| tagious disease that have occurred
within the past month are. under con.
troll and that all cases discharged
have been thoroughly and properly
fumigated.

The regular meeting of Cliff Coun-
Gil, No. 533, of the U. C. t., has been
moved up one week this month, and
instead of being held Saturday, Feb
ruary IA, it will take place this Satur.
day, February 7.
This meeting will again be marked
by the initiation of two more new
members. Albert Elmendorf, since
taking over the office of secretary,
surely has done remarkable work in
getting out the members. His work
on new members is "aces high" and
hard to beat.
The eats committee will be on hand
and the new degree worR, first worked
out by Cliff Council, is being closely
watched and bring favorable COM

This has been successfully maintained
and largely attended for the past
three seasons, closing with an at
tractive exhibit of handmade articles
by boys and girls.
Then came the concert of profess
sional talent each spring, for the
church treasury, arranged by her in
connection with sale of articles
many of which were made by her and
her girls in their mission sewing
meetings.
The Children's Mission Band has,
during these years, mad interesting
meetings and programs and contribut-
ed in their little way things made by
themselves for children of other

in the home of their leader, who gave
them Chinese party, with supper
of chop suey, birds nest soup, and
other Chinese foods, to close the
course on China in which both boys
and girls have been greatly inter.
ested.
The Pocket Testament League is
another circle which has been OF
value in the lives of it's young mem
bers who are pledged to always carry
a Testament and to read it every day
and the influence among their com
panions, reported by the children, may
some day bear rich fruit.
The children have been taken fol
hikes" spring and fall, and come
into contact with nature, and some
in camp during the late summer, witt
their missionary worker at her sum
mer home.
Their natural talents, musical ant
dramatic, have been utilized in Christ
mas, Easter and Chi1dren's Sunday
programs, for their parents enjoy
! ment, and the more promising ones
have been given free music lessons
each week by their leader whose owr
ability with the harp has effectively
contributed to the special services ant
musicales of the church.
The Sunday School had phe
nomenally large attendance on Sun
day morning and there was also &
larger attendance than usual on Sun
day evening.
The pastor, Rev. M. GoZzo, referred
to this being Miss Donaldsons las
Sunday as the mission worker, an(
expressed his regret, and also his
| appreciation. He spoke of the pas
when Mr. and Mrs. Donaldson started

acknowledged her devotion to the
cause of community service, and with
II went always cheerful spirit and
an indomitable energy in her church
endeavors, which was her spiritual
food. She was beginning to live the
same spirit in Palisade. While not
going out great deal here, she was
reading local papers and getting ac-
quainted that way, so much SO that
she felt she was possessed of quite
an understanding of the feeling that
pervaded her temporary home. She
had met many people here, who all
loved her and appreciated her fine
Christian qualities.
In all of her devotion to her civic
and church work the selfish side of
her life never prevailed, so that her
friends believed she had none. She
lived as nearly apart from sin as
high, uplifted nature could take her,
and she climbed the heights of the
labor of love with a will to serve that
knew no bounds. 1t was this adorable
spirituality that made her very nature
wonderful, livid, transparent soul
ever on it's way of triumph for truth
and goodness In all of her illnesses
she never lost heart or hope. She
dwelt upon those things that had en-
slaved her soul and all of which made
her love the beautifulfowers, chill
dren--all nature, in fact-till she
lived her life in the clouds that sailed
things placed here for our happiness.
Her ideals always rang true, and the
song of her heart was love and ten
derness. A true and noble woman, a
devoted wife and mother, Mrs. Blan-
din has gone to her reward in heaven.
