NEW YORK.-Admiral Emory S.

time commission, says the proposed
safety belt around our shores is a

Saws Adm. Land ing more. He
wonders what
will happen when somebody sticks
his nose inside the zone"
Admiral Lands opinion is that of
a technician and expert on OBJ
trusive noses, particularly those of
submarines, and, to be more ex-
plicit, German submarines. He got
the Navy cross for his work in de-
signing and building submarines in
the World war, in which he served
as commander of the construction
corps, and, in 1919, he turned in
searching technical study of what
German submarines had done and
what they might do in the next war.
The spirited little admiral, a
cousin of Charles Lindbergh, has
most important business on
hand just now, with something
like S400, 000, 900 staked out for
building a merchant marine.
This business of new ships, and
how good risk they may be on
sub-infested seas, is decidedly in
his department..
He is native of Canon City, Colo,
born in 1879. After his graduation
from Annapolis, he did postgraduate
work in naval architecture. Football
has engrossed him almost as much
as the navy. He was the garrison
finish star of that famous crap

and Navy in 1900, a gridiron hero,
and thereafter a successful concili-
ator in the ong-drawn-out army
and navy athletics row.

kind of war, and peri APPS the French
think they are wasting his talents
as soldier.
However, soldering is one of
does. In the last war, shell
blew him out of trench into
the dressmaking business. Sc

the late Gar Nicholas of Russia,
and ran his business up to

frarcs. employing more than
1000 women. He took with him
into the business CrOix de
Guerre and two citations. He
had been liaison officer with
Alenby in Palestine.
Brisk and businesslike, although
still boyish-looking, he says the hap
piest day of his life was when he
freed women from tubular gowns.

a matter of war preparedness, the
outlook for labor-employer peace is
much better. Previously a member

said to have greatly clarified and
