PORTSMOUTH. N. H, June
22.-It was definitely proved to-
day that the Squalus, sunken
submarine resting on the bottom
of the ocean off this city, met
disaster from an open induction
valve in the engine room.
Seamen testifying at the Naval
inquiry into the causes of the di-
saster, reported that just before
the ship reached the 5O-foot level
on the last dive, that a voice was
heard from the engine room over
the telephone to main quarters
stating that valve is open and
the engine room is flooded" The
receiver of the message, who was
testifying this morning, did not
known who. made the desperate
call.
Preparations are preceding
satisfactorily to raise the Squalus
today it is stated and the SUBJ
marine may be raised to the sur
face in the next few days, carry
ing the bodies of twenty-six dead
seamen with it. A heavy cable
has been passed underdeath the
craft by divers, which will be
used to thread the lifting chain
underneath the submarine to at
tach to pontoons held in readi-
ness for the pull to the surface.

MORNING ON BOARD
EMPRESS OF BRITAIN

SOUTHAMPTON, June d.
The King and Queen of England
have returned to their native
land following an absence of al
most six weeks on an unpreced-
ented tour of their Canadian pro-
vince and a side-trip to Washing
ton and New York City.
The liner Empress of Britain
locked this morning at this port
in dreary weather, yet the crowds
on hand to welcome their mon
arch home was almost as large as
any assemblage met on the North
American continent.
The rain and !. foggy weather
curtailed huge aerial welcome
planned for King George and
Queen Elizabeth, but it didn't
dampen the enthusiastic demon
STATIONS of welcome put on by
thousands of loyal British sub
jects who met the liner this
morning and who are strung
along the right-of-way from this
city to London as the royal party
steams into the latter city.
Princesses Elizabeth and Mary
Rose greeted their parents on
board the Empress of Britain,
having been taken aboard few
miles out from a government cut
ter. The welcome home hugs
and kisses were enthusiastic as
could well be imagined in that
this was the longest period of
time the children have been sep
arated from their father and
mother.
The first question asked by the
King concerned the health of
Queen Mother Mary. He was as
sured that she had fully recover
ed from an illness that had pre-
vented King George from bidding
his mother goodbye before he
left on the tour.

Gently enacted by the State Legis-
lature requires that all recipients

aliens who are receiving this
form of public relief.
The Board declaring it was the
intent of the Legislature to with
hold from all on-citizens this
form of public assistance, by re-
solution including blind aliens in
the list of those who are to be
deprived of public support. Near
ly 1000 persons are affected by
the order which will make avail
able approximately $4,000 an
nually in public funds for distri-
button among citizens of the re-
public, residents in Florida.
In Monroe county, Mrs. Roberts

rated program of economy so
that payments of public assist
ance grants may remain within

ments of grants to dependents

dity department budget $4,000
per year, five percent reduction
of all welfare district budgets,
immediate evaluation of all Wis
itors on a merit basis with a view

German dispute over the free
city of DanEig and the Polish

So much SO that plans are now
afoot to evacuate all nationals
from the area and British war
ships are being ordered to the
scene ostensibly for that purpose.
Reports of mistreatment of Brit

to be heard ana the evacuation
move is thought necessary to pro-
test members of the foreign col

London is keeping in constant

For seven decades the Red Cross has been earn ing worldwide esteem. Today it enjoys an un- paralleled respect and confidence which ranscends nationates and creedsthe result of efficient serv ice in the cause of humanity
 This is no less true in the United States than in other nations of the world where the Red Cross has been the symbol of relief mercy to stricken mankind for generations Since 1881 when this country approved the Treaty of Geneva establishing the Association of the Red Cross" the organiza- tion has flown its banner upon the of every major disaster in the United States In all, it has spent $l43000000 at the scene of 2,495 disasters.
 Primarily the Red Cross is instrument of service. In time of disaster there is need for an agency with facilities and the funds to go immedi atey to the scene and administer relief The Red Cross provides it. with a unique organization capable of following swiftly in the footsteps of disaster and extending relief without red tape. It provides the means by which public sympathy may be expressed in the form of material aid to those stricken by disaster.

EXTENDING THE AIR MAIL

Further extension of the speed and convenience of air-ma service for communities not on main airways networks is promised by the success of ex- periments last week in the night pickup and deliv cry of mail sacks in flight by All American Aviation
 With officials of the Postoffice Department and of the Civil Aeronautcs Authority in attendance, Hoger Hoirris transatlantic flier, now one of the regular pilots of this interesting air service swooped down successfully three times to drop his mail bag and pick up another suspended between the tops of two neon-lighted 4O-foot masts at BelIanca Field, New Castle, Del.
 Under normal conditions, it is held, the masts and other lights giving the flying range on either side of them be seen from the air for distance of six miles which is farther than the pickup sta tion can be seen by daylight. Night operation will go into effect this month on the company's route between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh at Grove City, Butler and Natrona Pa.
 The inclusion of night flying will tie in still more closely to the trunk-line air-man system the communities nov served by the pickup planes, at many of which there are landing fields The planes are flying daily l,540 miles throughout the East and serve localities which vary in population from 799 to 105000. Between some of these the distance is as little five miles Schedules now maintained at an average speed of 110 miles an hour, could not be practicable of course, if landings and take-offs had to be made at contact points which are from five to 9 minutes apart. Where there no air ports pickup stations located farms on hill- tops and in public parks The plan offers another useful field for civil aviation.
