 The Connecticut League Of Wom- en Voters and the Connecticut Child Welfare Association have been watching developments in the reor- ganization of the Connecticut School for Boys, following the recent invest igations there, and We have noted with concern certain actions recent ly taken by the board of trustees.
 The only employee of the insti- tuition thus far actually discharged has been MT. James $. Peck, on the ground, We understand, of being a trouble maker We know that we are Voicing the sentiment of 8 large group Of Connecticut citizens in say ing that. far from mcriting dis charge, MT. Peck is deserving Of sin cerc Commcndation for his disinter- csted - indeed self sacrificing - service in calling attention 10 the shocking conditions that obtained there.
 In contrast, no other dismlssals have, so far as we know, been made, although the commission Cover nor Trumbull's) report clearly indi- cated that q number Of staff mem- bors deserved summary discharge.

DECLARES PRA1I'S VIEW
 BEYOND COMPREHENSION
Over Concessions United States Made in London-Adams Testifies He Believes Agreement Best Pos sible But Admits Parity With England Not Possible Until 1886.

Washington, May 15 0Pp-Two grcy-haired admirals of the Ameri- can navy. each with upwards of half century Of distinguished serv- i've behind him, disagreed pointed ly today over the merits Of the naval treaty Of London.
 Sounding the first note Of protest from any official quarter, Rear Ad- miral Hilary P. Jones. long an out standing figure among navy men, told the senate foreign relations committee that he not only dis agreed with many Of the decisions of the London conference but thought a different settlement would have been entirely possible.
 Pratts Views Differ
 At the same time Admiral Will liam Y. Pratt. commander of the battle fleet, was advising the senate naval committee that the treaty suited him, that he was satisfied to have fewer eight-inch gun cruisers than the navy previously had asked. and that in any case the American delegation at London got the best it could.
 Both admirals were naval advisers at London, but Jones left before the conference ended because Of illness and he came to the committee table today leaning heavily on a cane. His disability did not diminish the vigor Of his replies to questioning senators.
 T disagree fundamentally with Admiral Pratt" he said. T can rot Understand Admiral Pratt's position
 Great Britain, Jones said, always
 had tried to beat down the Ameri- can strength in the eight-nch cruisers most desired by the navy,
 and at London had brought about such a reduction.
 { The Japanese cruiser strength as | against the United States under the treaty he placed at "5-5 plus" When the witness concluded, ! Chairman Borah said that while he i W d1 Iibt ltdLN lO llJlCGlS "ltllltT he would support ratification of the treaty. he agreed with Jones in re- spect to the need for more eight inch cruisers
 Objects to Classes Taking the treaty section by sec tion, Rear Admiral Jones told the l foreign relations committee that. among other things, the new class- fcation of cruisers into six inch and eight inch ships lis contrary to the consistent policy we have maintain
 cd always heretofore
 He likewise criticised the battle ship provision. saying that France and Italy. who had been parties to the Washington treaty but not to the limitations Of the London pact,
 would not be restricted, and adding that while it does not particularly affect us, I wonder what effect it may have f Great Britain feels alarmed by building by France and Italy.'

 Tn view Of the widespread pub licity that has been given 10 charges against five Of our bishops for their interest in the recent political cam- paign and because many of our people, as well as Mothodlsts, are greatly concerned with the proh- able action Of this committee, we deem it wise 10 issue a statement that all charges Of this nature harc como to us and much valuable tim" has been eaotod 10 their Co1sldera- ton, and that we do not find that the charges arc such as 10 cause any action by the committee Of the episcopacy.'
