1 vivendi to facilitate the work of the conference"
 A resume of the memorandum contained the following 12 points: 1. The "diarmament' policy maintained by French delegations at various meetings preparatory to the 1892 world conference was outlined.
 2. -- French policy confirms strictly to treaties and doctrines defined by successive asse plies of the League of Nations.
 3.-France observes that in a system of international solidarity such as the league, reduction of ar maments can be proportionately important in the ratio to mutual assistance which must eventually be organized against an aggressor. 4-The maximum of armaments as fixed by certain treaties may not necessarily be observed as stan dards for other countries. 5.-A general limitation and re- duction of armaments must be es- tablished at minimum standards according to the geographic posi- ton of each country with consid- eration of special conditions of ma . tional security, excluding all. at tempts to make uniform cqualiza- ton Of each .state's armed force.
 6.-Three times invaded in one century, France must dispose of her land forces with the same rap idity of movement as the great powers dispose of their protective navics.
 7.-Defense of the metropolitan terrItoryn together with maintcn- ance of security of the far-nung colonies, creates an inter depend ence of land. sea and air forces which must play a decisive role in the general policy of security. 8.-The French government has noted an improvement of security conditions in Europe and ha spon- taneously reduced the naval and aerial programs, and since 1921 has reduced by SO per cent tho number of trained effectives imme- diately available for the defense of the metropolitan territory.
 9.-The problem of general lim- ftation of armaments. much more political than technical, will not be solved by barometric schedules. by arbitrary percentages, or by em- piric adjustments.
 lO.-The reduction or armamentB implies confidence and demands re- spect for treaties. and also guar antees that no state shall seek in the 1892 conference notifications of existing treaties which would compromise peace at the profit of another nation.
 11.--Insecurity of one state is the insecurity of all. The prospect of neutrality is difficult to justify especially since the pact of the League of Nations has become ef- fective, and in view of the adoption of the Paris pact. Neutrality is ir- reconcilable with solidarity, which henceforth binds states. 12.-The French government is convinced that the conference of 1892 will not lose the opportunity to solve the real problems of or ganizing peace.

 worth and Field Streets

Members of the traffic commit tee of the board of police commis-
 sioners made another survey of traffic conditions at the corner of Leavenworth and Field streets yes- terday afternoon with a view of eliminating congestion due to num- erous transportation buses parking or reaching that intersection at the same time.
 From all indications 1t is more than likely that the Connecticut company will be asked to make a slight change fin it's schedule to eliminate the frequent occurrence of four buses arriving at that par- ticular corner at the same time. Two and sometimes three buses
 swinging to Leavenworth street from Grand street and coming to a standstill within few feet of each other to receive or discharge
 passengers have caused consider able confusion. Frequently 1t has so happened that two or three
 buses about to swing onto Grand
 street from Leavenworth street block the west corner of tho street. A few days ago officials of the Short Line Company expressed q willingness to cooperate with the police in any practical plan to
 eliminate congestion and all un-
 necessary parking. The commits

New York, July 22 -- NUP) - Giuseppe Sutera. a Sicilian, was
 near the end of n trail of ven- geance tOday---si trial that in eight years has led over Italy and the United States. Sutera is seeking the last of Il group of five assas-

 Four already have been turned over to authorities; two have been | executed and two are now in pri- | eon. "Only ono remains. and I
 am on his trail," Sutera said. Knowledge of the Vendetta which caused the staying of his brother and an attempt on his own life two weeks later was revealed yesterday when Sutera had Fran cisco Fontano, Brooklyn. arrested on q charge of attempted murder. Fontana was held for hearing on extradition to Italy. Fontana was one of the group that attempted to

 When Mrs Provilaitis filed q complaint against her husband | yesterday she presented the bottle of moonshine with the dead snake
 In it.
 To-day she appeared in court with the evidence, but Judge Me- Grath told her he would take her word about 1t and 1t wouldn't be
 necessary for her to remove the
 covering from her strange pack age.
 It was readily agreed by the police that Provilaitis differs from some drinkers to the extent that
 he prefers to see his snakes before
 drinking and not afterwards. which Is an old time custom. And not withstanding the laughs and shud-
 ders of the spectators on seeing the bottle to-day the acused evinc- cd no concern for their feelings. He
 claimed that the presence of the
 snake in his drink provides certain curative properties that drug stores
 are unable to give.

GRAF ZEPPELIN [.
 HAD THREE HOUR TRIAL TO-DAY
Dr. Eckener Took the Big Ship Over Lake Con- stance Prior to His Start for the Arctic

Friederichshafcn, Germany, July l22.-UP) .-Dr. Hugo Eckener piloted the famous German dirig- ible Graf Zeppelin on a satisfac- tory three-hour test flight over Lake Constance to-day, prepara- tory to starting on q trip to the Arctic day after tomorrow. Interest in the trip has been in- creased rather than diminished by cancellation of the Graf Zeppelin engagement to meet Sir Hubert Wilkins submarine Nautilis at the North Pole, because of delays suf- fered by the Nautilis.
 Aside from weather which would have been encountered in contact ing the Nautilis several obstacles to navigation on the Arctic trip
 have been emphasized. The polar region long has been known as an area of uncertainty for compass and instrument navigation and a
 undertakings. In fact, part of the Zeppelin's task on this trip will be to gather further data on difficult ties of navigation in polar regions. observing problems as they arise with closer approach to the pole.
 The Graf Zeppelin will carry a
 gyro compass, which approaches zero of the astronomic pole since 1t is dependent on the speed of the earth's revolution. Tho magnetic compass also suffers great disturb ance once 1t has entered the mag =
 netic area. The Graf will study all these conditions. Also, the zeppelin
 will carry an induction compass to
 be tested alone and with other lcompasses.
 Scientific results of the trip are
 being awaited eagerly in Germany.
 It is hoped that the zeppelin will
 show not only that q dirigibIe is
 capable of serving ground cxpe- ditions. but that 1t can gather in-
 formation beyond their scope and direct them to further investiga- tlons without loss of time or life. It also Is hoped that this may be only the first of several such trips and that later ships such as the
