"Gerald Cranston 8 Lady IS
the intriguing title of the William
Fox production which opens at the
Palace thcater tonight. Even more
intriguing than the title perhaps
is the east which shows two such
distinguished names as Alma Ru,

top.
The scenes are laid in England
and Paris with few stray shots
showing life in Nigeria with its
attendant thrills. There is also q
scene inside q big passenger air
plane crossing the English Channel

well done.

in the worlds history and could 60
obstinately refuse to recognize the re.
cent proof Of the inevitable dominating
power of air forces in war.
Nothing can excuse this neglect. II
is not only inexcusable. but when we
consider its effect upon the result of
our next war on the sea, it is in
truth nothing short of reprehensible.
1t should demonstrate conclusiyely
that we can never bring the navy up
TO modern standard of preparedness
for the next war until we tear naval
conservatism out of the Navy Depart
ment, root and branch.
BIAAMES PRESIDENT.
In concluding the statement con-
corning the Importance of our subma-
rlne forces, it is important to note
that the commander-in-chief, who re-
ports our deficiencies in submarines
and air forces, was himself in great
measure responsible for cutting out
appropriations for six modern sub
marines in the winter of 1922-sub-
marines which he now declares to be
needed with the fleet and whose con-
struction he himself, together with the
general board. delayed for several
years.
Three Of these modern submarines
have recently been launched but none
of them has as yet been tried out.
The one nearest completion has never
yet submerged, and may not be fully
ready for battle until 1928.
WHAT Is NEEDED.
In the year 1917 or 1918 the Ger
mans sent long range submarines to
our coast and sunk so ships of va
rious classes without ever being seen.
A German layer sank the armored
San Diego, off Fire Island under
our very nose, and nearly sank. the
battleship Minnesota off the Capes
of the Delaware.
When our three modern submarines
are ready in 192S-if they are ready
we will be ten years behind where
the Germans were in submarine war
fare In 1918, and it is safe to say
that it will require ten years more
building at top speed with the ap-
preparation of not less than 500, 000,-
900 to give our navy the submarine
force that it would need to insure a
reasonable chance Of success in the
next war.

had her back turned. Under it were
stacked presents brought by the wo-
men as an expression of their appre-
citation.

MIGHT HAVE WON.

Further commenting upon this sit
uation, Admiral Hall, of the Royal
Navy, states:
Il claim that a naval policy based
upon aircraft and submarines affords
Us the only hope Of protecting our
trade-tbe main purpose of our fleet
and that such policy will save us many
millions on other estimates, besides the
naval ones, and will insure us a rea-
sonsble hope Of command of the air
in the next war, without which all eff
fort will be futile.
1T is my firm belief and that of
many Others that had Germany en-
ployed her submarine torpedo vessels
against our surface war fleet. and
equipped a proper submarine cruiser
fleet for war on commerce, she
would have won the war.
"A submarine cruiser Of about 1000
tons can be given a sea endurance Of
10000 miles and sig months absence
from its base"
Time forbids further quotations
from the overwhelming mass of evil
dence available that air forces and
submarines viii be a most vital eIe-
ment in the next naval war.
II would seem inc9neeiyable that the
general board Of Officers charged with
outlining our naval policies during
the past ten years could so completely
ignore the records Of the greatest war

DIPLOMAT SCHOOL
OPENS TOMORROW
rs Students to Be Enrolled
for Course to Run
Until July.

The Governments new Foreign
Service School, created by a recent
order of President Coolidge to provide
trained personnel for the American
diplomatic service posts, will be opened
tomorrow with an enrolment of %,
who are the survivors of about 200
candidates who were examined in jan
uary.
Selections for diplomatic posts at
home and abroad, and possibly includ-
ing an ambassador and a minister.
probably will be chosen from this
freshman class. Selections are be-
lieved certain to be made for such
posts as secretary of embassy or le-
CATION, counselor or consular designa-
lions.
Course to End in July.
The first course of the school will
terminate with examinations in July.
and the survivors of that test then
will begin year of intensive instruc.
before finally being assigned to posts
abroad. Even when assigned, the
status will be probationary, to be de-
termined in the end by results Of work
performed in the field.
Much criticism of the American
diplomatic service has been encoun-
tered from time to time by responsible
ment. Critics have pointed out what
they held to be objectionable faults
In American diplomacy and have
blamed the lack of training and expe-
rience of men in the diplomatic serv-
fee, off1ceholders appointed by polit-
ical friends in the greater number of
cases, for conditions they protested.
School REEVES Hope.
What relief to such charges of in
efficiency the new school machinery
and policies of the State Department
Will give the diplomatic service can
not be estimated yet, but those in
charge of the foreign service person.
mel place great hope in it. They be-
lieve the school system and careful
selection of candidates for foreign
service will do much to relieve the
situation complained of and eventually
place American diplomacy on a parity
with the best trained and most shrewd
representatives of foreign governments
with whom they have to match minds.
President Coolidge apparently has
recognized the need of experienced
diplomatists in preference to political
appointeeS in the foreign service.
Selections made by him have largely
been those of career officers with long
records of service as their only rec
commentator for the higher places
Of responsibility he has given them.
In the case of John Van A. Mac.
Murray, recently appointed Minister
to China, 1t is known that three other
| candidates for that post possessed
strong political backing, but failed
to get the appointment because they
lacked experience, and Mr.. MacMur-
ray had it. Other instances OF this
variety have been noted in increasing
numbers lately. The effect has been
to give the United States a corps of
trained diplomatists in the senior
grades to man the important posts
| of the world capitals.

and potentiometer controls back to
the proper positions.
If possible, therefore, you should
get dials on your rheostats and DO
tentiometer so that you can also take
these readings. Unfortunately most
rheostats are not equipped with such
calibrated dials and you may not feel
justified in substituting numbered dials
for your rheostat and potentiometer
knobs.
In that case you will find it very
easy to get an approximate setting
back to the original position by divid-
ing an imaginary circle around the
knob into IL points or the positions
OF the numbers on a watch, as shown
in the diagram.
These positions are easy to remem.
Der because we see the divisions SO
often in looking to see what time 1t
is that the relative positions are fixed
firmly in our minds.
It is also a very simple process to
get finer divisions by taking the half
positions into account.
Then in jotting down your dial pc.
sitions you can refer to the positions
of your rheostats and potentiometer
by using the clock positions, such as
1, 2:30, 10, etc.
If you happen to tune into long
winded speech, just jot down the set
tings and tune in another station. If
you tune in just too late to get the
station call announcement you can
proceed to tune in to another station
and go back to the other station later
on, when you figure that the number
1t is playing is just about over.
Jot Down Dial Settings.
In that way you can jump from
station to station, getting them just
about the time they are announcing
their call letters. Then if you jot
down the setting for that station you
will eliminate the possibility of tuning
them in again a little later and wait.

The settings will also help you In
tuning in other stations by giving
you an indication Of the approximate

to that of the one which you have
