LACK MEANS OF ESCAPE.
French Submarines Not Equipped With
Lung Apparatus.

French Submarines Not Equipped With
Lung Apparatus.
French submarines are not equipped
with escape apparatus, such as the
American lung" it was said in naval
circles here today
Submarine experts of the U. S. Navy
held little hope for the crew of the
disabled Promethee, in view of reports
that strong currents were running in
the vicinity of Cape Levi, where the
vessel disappeared. Salvage efforts are
difficult even under the most favor
able conditions of tide and weather, it
was pointed out. 1t was understood
here that the French navy has meager
salvage equipment.
France did not avail herself Of the
opportunity afforded foreign govern
ments for equipping their submarines
with the lung" an American inven-
ton rendered to the world by the u
S. Navy in the interest of submarine
safety The lung" two of which are
available for each member of the crew
Of American submarines, enables men
to breathe under water after emergence
from a stricken boat 1t is the inven-
ton of three naval experts, Frank Hob
son, CIVILIAN engineer dC LIE navy de-
partment; Lieut.. C. B. Momsen and
Chief Gunner c. L. Tibbals. U. S. N,
retired.
Great Britain, italy and Norway are
believed to be the only other nations
with escape devices for submarine
crews. Great Britain has a breathing
apparatus similar to the lung" Italy
has equipment of like design Norway
uses American lungs" Several other
navies have been experimenting with
the American device, or with inventions
of their own.

plenary session tomorrow to register
the accord.
Generally speaking, Germany has lost
its fight for specific political concessions
here and now, though the reparations
chapter of the treaty Of Versailles, and
with 1t the war-guilt clause, will doubt
less tacitly disappear from the inter-
national arena.
1t is believed that one reason why
the French refused TO go further to
meet the Germans in this respect is
the traditional reluctance OF the French
left governments to smooth the path
for German right governments.
However, 1t Is generally felt that the
Germans demands were misplaced
here and now. Nobody has been quite
able to understand why Germany
should ask for political compensations
before financial concessions or why the
sum Germany pays should have IN
tiuence on the abrogation of the war
guilt clause.

u. S. EXPERTS RAP
BRITISH ARMS PLAN
Spokesman at Geneva Unite
in Opposing Move for
5-PoWer Farley.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, Switzerland, July g.
American naval experts united today in
criticizing a move for a new five-powe1
naval parley launched from British
sources yesterday.
The British plan was preached short
~ after a set Of counter proposals to
the Hoover disarmament plan was an
nounced in the House Of Commons at
London. 1t was contained in a press
interview given anonymously by high
British authority.
The United States, Japan. Great
Britain, France and Italy would be ex-
pected to join in the parley.
The British program, one Of the
American critics said, was merely re-
neWal of a 10-year-old controversy in
which the British had sought by re-
ducing the size of our ships to keep our
navy in home waters"
United States Needs Large Ships.
1.-THE British have naval bases all over
the world" he explained, land do not
want large ships. but the United States,
lacking these bases. is required to MAIN
tain large ships with a wide cruising
radius"
The sponsor Of the parley said the
naval questions were very complex and
required extensive discussions. "Presi-
dent Hoover" he said, will be the first
to agree that naval reduction cannot
be accomplished by the mere mention
of vulgar fraction" This reference
was to the Presidents proposal for a
# ,f
ments.
On the question OF the necessity for
substantial reductions the London and
Washington governments are agreed
he said, but he emphasized that, be-
cause of heavy British responsibilities
over the world, 1t was difficult for
Great Britain to make numerical re-
auctions
In the General Commission of the
Disarmament Conference, however,
sentiment was accommodating among
the smaller nations for the Hoover
plan. Among those who praised it
were the representatives of Belgium,
Brazil, Turkey, Cuba, Austria, Norway,
the Dominican Republic, Finland and
Canada.
Simon CircuIates Draft.
Sir John Simon, head of the British
delegation, circulated among the other
delegates his draft Of the declaration
for closing the first phase of the con-
ference. 1t probably will be presented
early next week.
The Americans were pleased to find
that it gives codial welcome to Pres
ident Hoover's proposal. and accepts
the principle of ornaments reduction.
It does not, however, mention Mr.
Hoover's one-third cut.
The Germans, who apparently had
withdrawn their demand for recognition
of the equality of the right TO arm, ap-
pear now to favor that principle in the
Geneva convention and If possible in Sir
Johns declaration.

drew I'D the legal machinery for is
suance of the bond, In which the bank
will play a predominant role.
The agreement reached at Lausanne
to nut an end to reparations by accept
ing three-uuarters of billion dollars
from Germany as final payment closes
another chapter in the history of the
World War.
The Preparations debt, originally cap
italized at S64, 600, 600, 900, was admit
tedly worth not more than $1,000, 00O,-
600 when the Lausanne conference
began.
Long before that, however, the first
Reparations Committee pared the total
down from $64 ,000,000,000 to S3l, 500,-
600 900, but in 1922 Germany asked for
moratorium and out OF that request
came the Dawes Committee.
In 1924 that committee scaled down
the payments to $595,000,000 year,
but that was only a temporary solu-
ton and four years later the Young
commission was formed to determine
how much and how long Germany
should have to pay.
"A Final Settlement"
The Young plan, called a final
settlement" subtracted another $6,000,-
600 900 from the total and accepted a
system Of spreading $26,500, 000, 900 over
so years, all accounts to be settled by
1888.
But the Young commission, like
everybody else, could not foresee the
world economic crisis which brought
the next major step in the form Of
President Hooyer's moratorium post
poning all intergovernmental debt pay
ments for enc year.
That years respite ended on June 80
this year, but before then it became
obvious that even that would not be
enough The result was the conference
at Lausanne.
Meantime there was an interminable
dispute between France and Germany
as to how much actually had been paid
in reparations. France said she and
the other allies had received only S.
/ 900 100000. The German bookkeep-
ers showed payments Of $l6,000,000, 900.
/ To complicate matters further, the
United States asserted that only ST.
| 600,000,000 had been paid on more than
Sll 900, 100000 in debts due her from
the World War allies.

ALL BOXING BOUTS
MAY Be PROHIBITED
Arlington Board Chairman
Will Oppose Ordinance
to Permit Meets.
By a staff Correspondent of The Star


ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, July 8.-Failure of the
Gary amateur boxing act to distinguish
between bouts conducted by schools,
civic organizations or charitable or
CARNATIONS and those by private in
dividuals and corporations may result
in the refusal of the county board to
permit any boxing in the county, it
was learned today.
Chairman Harry A. Fellows an
nounced definitely that he will oppose
the passage of an ordinance to permit
boxing under the act, which authorizes
four-round bouts of three minutes each,
but makes 1t unlawful to compensate
the participants. The act is State
wide, but can become effective only
upon approval of local governing
bodies.
Fellows stated today that he would
not have objected to amateur boxing
bouts conducted for the benefit of the
American Legion, fire departments,
school athletic associations or welfare
organizations, the money so raised to
be used for civic purposes, but will OPP
pose any measure that would permit
commercialization of the sport.
In referring to the application by the
Washington Hoover Airport for a per-
nit to hold matches at Hoover Field
Chairman Fellows said he understands
that it is planned TO build large sta
dunn there for out-of-door boxing
This would. in his opinion, require un-
usually vigilant police supervision and
possibly create situation that would
be damaging to the county as whole.
At the request of the board, Com
monwealth's Attorney Lawrence W
Douglas has prepared an ordinance to
permit boxing in the county. but has
stated that there is no way under the
law that the board can permit matches
by the American Legion and like organ
izations, but prohibit them as CONNER
cial enterprises. The ordinance is to
be considered at special meeting of
the board tonight.

L. S. INVITES PROPOSALS.
Gratified at Compromise Reached by
Lausanne COnfereeS

Lausanne C0nfereeS
State Department officials said today
the United States will gladly receive
any proposals which European debtors
of this country may care to make for
reconsideration Of war debts settle
ments.
Department officials are gratifled that
the Lausanne Conference has finally
reached a definite compromise on the
tangled problem of PREPARATIONS
1t was said this Government now
stands ready to fulfill its promise that
it would consider a revision of the debt
arrangements as soon as European
powers reached an agreement on the
reparations problem.
No formal arrangements have been
made BY the State Department for the
reception of proposals for debt revision,
but the department adheres to its plan
that the European nations must submit
their proposals individually and not as
! a bloc.
The policy Of the United States has
always been to consider the claims of
each OF its Is European debtors sepa-
rately.
The funded indebtedness Of Is Euro
pean Nations to the United States ex-
ceeds $1,000, 600. 900. About 30 per
| cent is due from Great Britain, France
| and italy.
Should Europe propose that debts to
this country be scaled down in the
| same proportion as German repara-
lions are cut under the new Lausanne
agreement, the United States probably
would not be offered more than ST. 900,
| 100000.

Japan favors reduction of tonnage OF
capital ships and cruisers but that she

The Japanese navy heartily indorses
the proposed reduction of aircraft car
riers, he said, and would welcome their
total abolition, but 1t is opposed to a
one-third reduction of destroyer ton
mage and to the abolition of submarines.

are liable would have resulted in dam
age enough to sink the boat.
Since it is reported that the matches
were open, and it is usual for sub
marines running on the surface TO have
all interior doors open. it is extremely
likely that the boat was flooded from
end to end when she went under and
that the men inside had slight chance
