His patience and unfaiiing good

now have been reduced to writing,
for presentation to the allied dele
cations probably today in much mod

The new British attitude has been
quito as threatening but even it
seemed today to have been susceptible
to the American diplomacy. The
British delegation. upon checking
over the written out form of the
Young proposal. discovered the per-

British Make Suggestions
There vas immediate protest and
notice that British acceptance would
be given only with the reservation
that the Spa percentages were not to
be molested. Mr.. Young let It be
known he had no intention Of fixing
tnalterable conditions within the
agreement itself, and today sugges-
tons IS to how to get around the dit
liculty were heard from the British
themselves.
These suggestions involved an an
mex to the agreement which would
contain the revision Of the shares Of
the PREPARATIONS allotted to each ma
|tion. The report itself could be thus
voted unanimously, the assumption
being that the question OF determ!n-
ing each country.s share does not
concern Germany and could be taken
up between the allied countries them
selves.
The British objections to revision

Club HEARS
ABOUT ships AFTER
MUSIC WEEK TOPIC
Captain George 5%Ioomquist De.
scribes Types Of Vessels
and Tells Of Lines

The newly-electcd officers of the
Rotary club we're announced at the
noon luncheon today, Dr.. H. A,
Brandes becoming president. John
Hoffman vice president. George Bird
remaining secretary and Neil Chur-
chill taking the treasurership. They
were chosen during the week by the
board Of directors recently elected.
Music week was observed by the
club with a talk on music b. the Rev.
Paul s. Wright and vocal solos by
Mrs. F.. j. Bavendick. who was &C.
companied by Mrs. r. E. Morris. Mrs.
Bavendick sang "Oh, Flower" and
Fair Spring
In his talk Mr.. Wright spoke of
the small figure this country has
been cutting in the composition of
music and in great artists, while
music-minded in 50 many other ways
that it spends millions on melody
and harmony. That it has not pro-
duccd music of its own, he said. is
something to fill Americans with
regret. as music is a form of soul ex-
preston which enriches the esthetic
life and spiritual enjoyment.
The main talk of the day was by
Captain George Bloomquist. from
Fort Lincoln. He spoke on "Ships. >
Illustrating his talk. he sketched the
several forms Of outline denoting the
steaming type of vessel. These types
are the passenger liner, the freightcr,
the mixed freigllter and passenger
rarrinr md tho u.oreIi~
The captain made the American
merchant marine q feature Of his
talk. He spoke of tire great campaign
OF sfipbuilding brought on by the
World war, M of the developments
of which was the concrete hull. How
ever. that sort of body failed to prove
lasting. A bump into q dock meant
going to the bottom as a mass of
cracked rock. So the concrete ship
idea died. The other ships built at
the time were largely sold to Henry
Portland some can now be seen en-
the streets Of Bismarck, he added
facetiously.
The captain called attention to the
dimensions Of ships. The Lcviathan
is about 1000 feet long. carries a crew
Of 1000 and during the wal trans
ported $4,000 soldiers at a time. The
ship cost $4,000, 900 to 100000 900 to
build. The Chaplin company bought
1t for $l6,000.0 900 with other ships
when the government sold out be-
cause of the big annual loss it sus-
tanned in trying to operate a mer-
camille marine. Freighters run tc
lengths of $50 feet. he said.
Captain Bloomquist gave Robert
Dollar, the 68-ycar-old head of the
Dollar line. great credit for develop
ing American shipping on the Pa.
cific ocean. He also explained how
depths Of the ocean now are meas
ured by a sound device under the
vessel, whereby sound waves sent
down into the sea are echoed back
by the ocean bottom and the time
required to get the echo is tie basis
of the depth calculations.
Speaking Of lines to use in cross.
ing the ocean, the captain advised
the club to look over the American
ships before trying others, that j.
foreign lines. He said their accom-.
modations r perfect. even to get.

ATTACK POSTOFFICE
DEPARTMENT means
Of naming OFFICERS
System Still Based on Political
Preferment, Not Pseudo.
Merit Methods

New York, May S.-P)-The post
office department and the method of
selecting postmasters were severely
criticized III the annual report Of the
council Of the National Civil Service
Reform league, which was read at the
league session here today.
The selection of postmaStcrs
throughout the country continues to
be based on political preferment. not
withstanding the pseudo meri. system
established by President Harding in
1929" the report said.
An investigating committee of tho
league found that postoffices were
filled on a partisan basis. although
the civil service commission conducted
competitive examinations to establish
eligible lists from which appointments
could be made. Not the person at the
head of the list. but the person most
favored politically, and in some cases
the candidate paying or promising to
pay the most money for the place, re-
ceived the position"
The league asked that President
Hoover insist upon appointment Of
postmastcrs from the head Of the list.
The report also urged that 5000 po-
sitions now exempted from the law
be placed under the jurisdiction of
the civil service by the president.
The executive order Of President
Coolidge, issued on the eve Of the
Hoover inauguration, granting prefer
ment in appointment to all federal
positions to disabled veterans, also
was criticized.
The league believes the new order
is most ill-advised and will result in
serious impairment of the efficiency
of the government service" the re-
port said.

BETTER TARIFF
Minnesota Governor Tells Hoo.
YER Bill Does Not Meet
Pledge Of Party

st. Paul. May 8.-(Hp-The tariff
bill just introduced i'll congress docs
not meet tho pledge Of the Repub-
lican party to place agricultural in
tcrcsts on a basis Of economic equal
ity with other industries. Governor
C%laristianson said in a telegram sent
today to President Hoover. The gov
crnor urged the president to usc his
powers to secure from congress lcgis-
lation that will redeem party

The telegram read:
The people of Minnesota feel the
tariff bill just introduced does not
meet the pledge of the Republican
party to place agricultural interests
on a basis Of economic equality with
other industries. Agriculture now en-
joys All average protection of 20 per
cent and other industries 40 per cent.
The pending bill falls far short of
removing the disparity. The people
of the northwest are confident that
YOU will use the powers Of your office
to secure from congress legislation
that will redeem party pledges"

The telegram said:
Republicans of the northwest feel
that the agricultural tariff bill just
introduced falls short Of meeting the
pledges which were made last fall
on behalf of the party. Duties on
agricultural products now average 20
per cent, those on other products 20
per cent. This disparity is one Of the
fundamental causes Of farm depres-
sion. The people of the northwest
arc emphatic in their demands that
the disparity be removed and that
party pledges be kept literally. Moth
