10 prevent excessive payments in kind, and an increase in uncondition- al German payments to be credited to the London account.
 In expecting M. Briand and Dr. Stresemann to relent from their stand that these demands simply cannot be met the confcrees here hold that it will be easier to find way to meet MT Snowden's de mands' than it will be to go horne and face the French chamber and German Reichstag without having put the Young plan into effect.
 Evacuation of the Rhineland is Young plan by the government and pr. Stresemann has stilled much of his opposition at Berlin with the promise he would obtain Rhineland evacuation at The Hague Conversa- tions on the point have advanced to far point and evacuation might actually be expected before many months, but with the Young plan in abeyance it may be delayed for q long time.
 Predictions have been made here in German circles the Mueller gov ernment in Germany cannot survive failure to arrange Rhineland evac- uation and the smaller reparations annuities which the Young plan will afford.
 The situation in France Is not dissimilar. M. Briand's new gov ernment has never met a storm ill the chamber of deputies, which voted ratification of the American debt settlement by bare majority on the promise the Young plan pay ments would be used to make the payments to America.
 The political consequences of either of these two going homo without having met MT. Snowden's demands were envisaged by some here as hardly to De relished by either. Circles commenting to this effect saw the additional leeway with postponement of the final meeting until Monday a bare hope one of them would act and gave the conference.
 Any such action by M Briaud probably would be to relinquish cer- tain funds allotted his government under the Young plan to Great Brit ain, sufficient over the amounts al- ready scraped and shaved together to meet the British chancellor's de- mand. Dr. Stresemann might help by consenting to slight increase in his country's unconditional annui- ties.

 Those two men were Aristide Briand, French premier and for eign minister, and Dr. Gustav Strese- mann, German foreign minister, both of whom expect to leave the Hague for their capitals Monday evening to prepare for the September meeting of the assembly of the League of Nations.
 For nearly three weeks the hope of the government delegations as- sembled here had been that Philip Snowden, British chancellor of the exchequer would recede from his de- mands for a larger share of German separations, and for other conces- sions, which held them in Stalemate
 With Mr. Snowden's refusal yes terday of an offer by France, Italy Belgium. and Japan of 75 per cent (French estimate) of the amount de- handed by Snowden, the national delegates today recognized that it failure is not to be written of the meeting here it is up to the two prin- clpal leaders opposed to Mir Snow den to prevent it.

Society Votes to Raise St00,00O
 by Issue Of Bonds

The Y. NJ. T. A. & B. society to- day formally launched a drive to raise s100,000, through the sale of mortgage bonds in denominations of s10o each, the proceeds to be used in paying off a second mortgage of s60,000, now in litigation.
 Enthusiastic response greeted a recommendation of the ways and means committee that such d cam paign be inaugurated at a summons meeting last night, and so memb bers affixed their signatures to pledges for a total of sS,000. The bonds are non-interest bearing and are 10 be retired as rapidly as the soci- ety's financial condition will permit. It was explained that s6,000 in in terest on mortgages will be saved annually if the second mortgage can be paid off at this time, and this amount will make it possible to retire 60 bonds each year. The bonds are to be numbered and those to be retired each year will be se- 1ected by drawing.
 s Members and the public in gen.  eral will be invited to participate. Payment for the bonds will be at the rate of s5 month, the whole to be paid for in 20 months. Afte: a unanimous vote had been taken, the assembled members offered President William J. Humason the opportunity to be the first signer of bond, but MT. Humason declined the honor, preferring to give John John O'Brien, veteran member of the society and originator of the bond idea, the privilege of being the first signer. After Mr O'Brien had signed a bond, President Humason took the second.
 Announcement was made today that q window in the Commercial Q Trust Co. will be assigned for pay ments on the bonds.
 The assembled members unani- mously voted their thanks to President John c. Loomis and Vice President Pardon c. Hickey of the Commercial Trust Go. for their as- sistance in formulating the fnanc- ing plan.

(LCNLlnueQ rom lTSI Idse) both sides of the Pacific, the bulky queen of the air was able to make the most of weather reports. The story of the flight, as pieced :o- gether from wireless messages inter- Cepted on American shores, show e' that the airliner was increasing hc' speed, heading more directly east al the time and sailing about 1,SJo feet above the water.
 A message sent by the diriglhie at 4 Q. m.. eastern standard time, gave word that the ship had cor- cred 1,660 miles in the little more than 2G hours since leaving Japan. She was making 50 knots (about 57 miles an hour). Maintaining that pace she should reach the American coast some time Monday.
 At that time she nae averaged better than 62 miles an hour since leaving Tokyo. This takes into ac- count her slow progress during lhe first few hours of the flight.
 Skies Are Overcast
 Skies wer overcast near the 170tn eastern longitude line as the Zep- pelin approached that area, but there was something in the elements to cheer passengers and crew. The suh momentarily broke through tne fog banks and the weather on thc surface appeared clear.
 Calculating the distance covered by periodical position reports the Graf Zeppelin was showing a speed of better than 62 miles an hour. Possibilities were good that the ships speed would increase as Y l proceeded. for prevailing beam" winds coming out of the southwest were expected to change to ''tall' winds from the west, changing to northwesterly winds at a point about 1000 miles off the American contin- | ent. These latter winds would boost the Zeppelin along to it's first land contact, probably Seattle.

 Whether President Hoover would concur in the rumored proposal to put the tariff bill aside after the first of the year If not acted upon then is problematical and none of his advisers at the capitol hazards q guess.
 Meanwhile, the rumored threat is regarded by some as club seeking to force early action on the tariff Certain it is that the admin istration wants early disposition of the bill.

gagged by the Northern Shipping company of Hamburg, Germany, owners of the vessel. to take her from Norfolk to Genoa, Italy, where she was to be junked. She carried no cargo. but had $50 tons of scrap iron aboard as ballast.
 They sailed from Norfolk at ' p. m. on Wednesday, August IA. The weather was perfect. The sea was like a looking glass" Captain Pietsch said, telling of the experience.
 At 3;3O p. m. on August IS it was discovered that plate on the stern counter, about two feet below the water line, had given water. The leak was big one.
 Ship Half Waterlogged
 The ship was about half filled with water and listing heavily to port when at 5:45 aNm. on August 19, the crew abandoned her. They took to two lifeboats, each equipped with a sail besides the oars.
 They had been burning mattresses, blanks and everything burnable on the steel forecastle head to attract any vessel that might be near. Since the Quimistan had no wireless they | had sent up ten rockets. Evidently the fires remained and caught to the rest of the ship, for the captain of the American freighter Yalsea later reported sighting the derelict ablaze at sea.
 The captain decided that they ! should sail due north. instead of south, because, although Sable Island, off Nova Scotia, was further away than the Bermudas, they would get into the more travelled steamship | lines by going north and have a bet ter chance of getting rescued. We weren't worried" said the 1 captain. We had plenty of food i we had sausages. roast beef, bread canned pineapple, almost every- thing you could ask for. We even 1 had music!"
 Played Monograph
 One of the sailors in Second Mate Jorgensen's boat had brought along | a small photograph. and they played l this continually.
 i Tor two days and two nights everything went well. the craft kept together and the sea was fairly calm. On the third night, however, | the wind changed. the waves rose. and the boast were driven about 10 miles apart.
 At 3:45 o'clock on the afternoon of August 21, the officer on the bridge of the President Harrison, A. N. Norman, was keeping very careful watch because the liner had l picked Up message asking her to watch for the two Swiss fiers. It was he who sighted the boats. Captain J. H. Benson of the President Harrison ordered his ves- sel to make for the lifeboat and the rescue was effected.
 Both Beats Scuttied
