ATHENS, Greece, Aug. 16. (UP)-
Greece was ready to order gen.
eral mobilization today as re-
suit of the torpedoing and sinking
of the mine layer Helle by an
unidentified submarine at the
Greek island of Tinos.
Some hint as to the nationality
of the attacker was conveyed in
reports of a simultaneous attack
against the Greek ship Frinton off
the north coast of Crete by air.
planes said to have been definitely
identified as italian.
AS reports spread that general
mobilization was near, motorcycle
couriers sped about the country
ordering sailors on leave to return
to their ships Immediately. Some
of the ships were ordered to Tinos
to bring back to the mainland TO-
900 pilgrims who had gone there. to
observe a national religious festi-
val, the feast of the Assumption of
the blessed virgin.
The submarine appeared without
warning and fired torpedoes at the
Helle, which carried crew of 100
men. One torpedo struck the en-
gine room, killing one man and
seriously injuring two others. Other
torpedoes sped past the vessel and
struck the dock where the pilgrims
were parading. Several pilgrims, in
cluding children, were injured. The
submarine was not identified since
it was barely visible.
Shortly after the attack Raffaele
Boscarelli, the italian minister here,
held a long conversation with Pre-
mier John Metaxas. The subject
was not disclosed, but it was report
ed that Boscarelli had talked of
certain italian demands on Greece.

Street Extension Asked
By Citizens Association

The washington Highlands Citi-
zens' Association opened its civic
season last night by launching a
membership campaign, and ap-
pointed a committee to ask Engineer
Commissioner David McCoach for
extension of a street in the South
east section.
Meeting at the home of its secre-
tary, w. Earl Nair, at 1919 First
a committee to consider the posi-
bilities of inviting into the Highlands
group members of some 100 new
families who have moved into the
neighborhood within the past year.
Mr. Nair called attention to the
fact that First street had never been
cut through between HALEY place
and Xenia street, a distance of about
one block and a half, and that tons
of dirt and rocks have swept down
First street from the unimproved
section of land. In addition to Mr..
Nair, Maury T. Warren, vice presi-
dent of the association. and D. H.

passed unanimously. authorized a
message to Senator King of Utah,
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, expressing regret" at
his defeat this week in the Utah
Democratic primaries, and praising
his work for Washington.
Mrs. Roy R. Clark asked that the

II.

| and receive the ungruding support
of all civilized peoples.
1t was the lack of this spirit-the
spirit of an international esprit de
corps-which in the end prevented
the League from taking the steps
necessary to put a stop to agrees
sion.
1t is also matter for considera-
ton whether steps short of military
action could not be developed as a
means of preventing war. For in
stance, if it were possible to form
an international trusteeship of a
few of the vital essentials to war
fare, lawless aggression could not
take place.
AS to more elaborate schemes,
such as federal union, I am afraid
that see very little prospect of
anything of that kind being eStab-
lished at present, nor, indeed, do I
think it would be desirable to have
an international assembly in which
peaceful powers like America and
the United Kingdom might be out
voted or vital matters by powers
which were not so devoted to peace.
Arms Reduction Essential.
No doubt, to all that I have said,
must be added at least this: That no
system of international peace can be
regarded as secure unless it is &C
companied by genuine interna-
tional reduction of ornaments. We
came within measurable distance of
establishing such a reduction. but
when it came to the final point the
governments that ought to have led
the world in such an essential re-
form were not prepared to take the
vigorous action which alone could
have made such a movement sue
ceSSful.
There again we must take care to
have learned our lesson and we must
not allow vacillation and half
heartedress at the last moment to
destroy the whole prospects of
peace, as I fear they did in past
years.

First Submarine POntoOns

The navy department says that
the first use Of submersible pom
toons was in salvaging H. M. cruiser
Gladiator, British vessel, by the
Liverpool Salvage association, I'M
der Capt. Fred w. Young, in 1908.
In salvaging this vessel large steel
cylinders were fastened to the SUBJ
merged portion Of the cruiser in
such a way as to increase her
buoyancy. The cylinders were built
Of steel plates and bars and were IL
feet in diameter. They varied in
length from 40 feet to rs feet. The
cylinders were tested to Is pounds
per square inch. The outer skin
was sheathed with wood and the
ends were protected by collision
mating. These steel cylinders had
special valves to admit water for
the purpose Of sinking them and
separate valves for the admission Of
air to drive out the water when 1t
was desired to refloat them.
