BRITISH FEAR RIFT
WITH i. S. IS WIDER
Presidents Armistice Speech
Felt by Many to Have
Been Too BeIIigerent.
BY A. G. GARDINER.

|
LONDON, November 1.-THE air has
been filled this week with repercussions
of President Coolidge's Armistice day
allocution, the tone of which has Gre
ated considerable depression among the
friends of Anglo-American understand
ing and an unusual outburst Of resent
ment in many quarters.
Even so impassiened a supporter OF
cordial relations with America as Lord
Cecil confessed in speech at Man.
chester that he had read Mr.. Coolidge's
address with feeling of anxiety and
disappointment. He felt that it was too
largely devoted to justification of prepa-
ration for war. The speech, he said,
reminded him of Newman's reply to
Pusey, "You discharged your olive
branch as if from catapult."
British comment turns largely on the
queer spectacle Of the United States
talking in terms of crude militarism, of
which Europe is becoming a little
ashamed, and at the same time, as the
London Nation remarked, clothing
himself so ostentatiously in the spot
less toga of American virtue"
Occasion of Speech Deplored.
The occasion chosen for so unctuous
a homily is regarded here as unfortu-
nate and the extremely unconvincing
reference to the comparative strain of
the war on the United States and other
belligerents would have been better un-
spoken. MIR. Coolidge's methods of
calculation are not accepted in coun-
tries desperately familiar with the facts
and not unaware that the war which
beggared Europe left the United States
with measure of wealth and pros
perity unprecedented In the history of
the world.
The writer would not be doing his
duty if he failed to convey the general
tenor of British comment on the un-
fortunate tone of Mr.. Coolidge's ad-
dress. That tone was the more un-
fortunate because, as more friendly
critics point out, its censorious self
righteousness of speech obScured its
real and wise purport, which was to
make the peoples of Europe realize the
dislike and suspicion with which the
American people regard the postwar
tendencies of European politics, and
that until really substantial progress
is made toward disarmament it will be
useless for any country to talk to the
United States about debt revision.
Utterance Seen Neutralized.
This is admitted to be a salutary
doctrine, but its helpfulness is serious
ly compromised by the equivocal terms
of the utterance, which, while ernpha-
sizing the desirability of disarmament
in the abstract, used arguments based
on American lack of naval bases and
convertible liners that seemed to jus
tify predonlinance rather than parity
for the American fleet.
Also MIR. Coolidge's statement that If
European countries had neglected their
defenSes it is probable that war would
have come much sooner is criticized in
the liberal press as putting weapon

PANIC OF F|REMEN
BLAMED IN SINKING
CoIored Stokers Refused to,
Keep Up Steam, Version
Sent to Britain.
By the Associated Press.

DS SIlS <1cSOC4GbSU ETCSS.
NEW YORK, November 1.-THE New
York correspondent of Reuters, Ltd,
the British news agency, sent to his
home Office in London today dispatch
which said that the Vestris sank be-
cause the negro firemen refused to keep
up steam in the boilers and that Capt.
Carey did not send his S o S sooner
because there was no need for it."
The dispatch was based on the story
cleaned by the correspondent from three
officers of the Refrigerating
Engineer Smith, Fourth Engineer Oficer
Prestwick and Sixth Engineer Oflcer
Dixon.
1T was on Sunday the dispatch
related in giving the substance of the
officers stories, that glass port in a
coal door about five feet above the
water line was broken by big sea and
Immediately solid torrent of green
water started to rush headlong into
the ship. This is what started the
trouble, but in itself it was never
enough to sink the ship or even to
cause serious danger.
Pumps Were Started.
Prom the position of the door it was
difficult to cover the gap with a make
Shift bulkhead and therefore the
pumps were started to get rid of the
water. A list developed, but it did
not exceed 80 degrees, which was not

in and the negro firemen, most of
whom were from the Barbados, gradu-
ally became more panicky.
'All went smoothly, however, until
Monday morning and neither Carey
nor the chief engineer saw any reason
to send out an SOS. The pumps were
working effectively, and although the
mass of water was not decreasing, the
situation was in hand. None of the
engineers was worried, and right up to
8 am Monday none of them had the
slightest idea the ship was in any dan
ger of sinking.

STUDENTS WANDER
BAREFOOT IN SNOW
Californians, Rescued, Tell OF
Weeks Hardships In
Mountains.
By the Associated Press.

LAKEPORT, Calf, November IT,
How four University of California stu
dents wandered with bare feet and in
tattered clothing through the snowy
wastes of California's Lake County
Mountains for nearly week was told
this afternoon by John Dempster, one
of the quartet that had been missing
since week ago Friday.
Dempster, with Miss Anna Rams
perger and her twin sister Minna, both
of Logan, Utah, and Robert H. Keeler
of Los Angeles this afternoon were
taken to the ranch of Willis Durham,
a ranger, where they were put to bed
and fell Immediately into sound sleep.
They had been without shelter since
they disappeared and became the OBJ
ject of one of the most intensive search
es in the history of Northern California.
Collapse at Ranch.
Weakened by exposure, the four
young students collapsed when they
reached the Durham Ranch. They
were taken there by party that made
forced ride over 35 miles of snow
covered trail to lonely rangers kiosk
that housed the telephone used in
making their plight known. The kiosk
a simple box, furnished no shelter.
Previous reports said the four had
found shelter in a cabin. The four
were huddled near the telephone box
when a party led by Claude Simon
reached them early today with food
and blankets.
Dempster described their heartbreak
when they saw searching airplanes
disappear after flying over them.
I'VE reached the summit Of Hull
Mountain last Saturday early" Demp-
ster said. "At the top we encountered

mountain that night and got into the
Eel River canyon. 1t was wild and
dark. We lost our way. BY morning
we had lost all sense Of direction. We
had rations for only two days and we
saved them, but by Monday we were
entirely out of food. From then on the
trip was nightmare. The thick shrub.
berry tore our clothes almost off us.
Shoes Wear Out On Rocks.
Our shoes wore out on the rocks
and we had to go barefoot in the snow

of hunger were making us light headed

RUMAN|A SEEKING
RUSSIAN BUSINESS
Manu-, New Premier, Anxious
to Recognize Soviet,
Friends Believe.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, November 17.-If Juliu
Manu-, new Rumanian premier, remains
IN power long enough, friends of his
administration believe he will take steps
toward Rumanian recognition of Soviet
Russia. The new premier already has
declared that the cultivation of closer
and friendlier relations with neighbors''
is to be one of the foundation stones of
his foreign policy
Heretofore, Rumania and the Soviets
have been at odds over the question of
Bessarabia, which Rumania seized after
the disintegration of the Russian EN-
pire. M Manu- is anxious therefore to
remove the menace of Bolshevik inya-
Sions along 300-mile frontier facing
the Dniester River, which keeps Ru-
mania in a perpetual state of ferment
and anxiety.
Seeks to Reduce Army.
If in return for Rumanian conces-
Sions Premier Manu- can reconcile the
SoWets to the loss of Bessarabia. which
, the Rumanians long since have strip
ped of its Russian population, he be-
lieves that with real peace prevailing
between the two countries Rumania
can reduce the present enormously eX-
pensive army and civil administration
of Bessarabia, which has been draining
the states resources.
Although Bessarabia in parts is ex-
tremely fertile and productive, it is
chiefly valuable to Rumania for mill
tary and strategic purposes, and many
Rumanians believe the province is
costing their country far more than it
is worth. The territory is about the
size of Vermont and New Hampshire
