of Nations, In understood to linvo tin -elded

to several months.
Diflcusftinp the situation with the
Echo do I'nris latt night. LoiiIm T.nu
cheur. Minister for Liberated Hegioni In
the French Cabinet, remarked that
'things go quicker than you think "
He added ho had absolute confidence In
the ability of the Council to arbitrate
the vc.xlnif (pipstion His confidence,
however, wai not shared bj I'aris news
papers this morning, which culled at
tention to the previous work of the
Council relative to Vnvzig. Vilna and
the Aland Islands as evidences of the
kind of speed and impurtiulltj that
might be expected.
Ilrland Will Accept Verdict
In agreeing to submit the Site-inn
question to the Council of the League
Premier Krlnnd is nherted to have
waived the rule providing that decision
of the Council must be unanimous, and
the impression is that he will accept the
ydict of a majority of the Council
Pcrtinax," political editor of the Rcli.i
dc Paris, declares the French Premier
made such an agreement. The idea of
submitting the matter to the League of
Jsatlons, mi) k L'Oeuvre, originated with
AI. Briand, who suggested it to Sir.
Lloy,i (.eorge when thev met nt the
Italian Kmlussv last Tuesday. The
British Premier rejected the plan, but
revived it yesterday when lie found
trance would not give way.
Emphatic dissatisfaction with tbc de
cision of the Supreme Council to call
upon the League of Nations to settle
tho Siletian question was generally ci
sressed bj the press here today.

Into the Upper Silest.in inatroverM.
Residents of the city found on the"ir
way to work this morning that the city
hud been plastered with large posters
issued by an asiocbtion of Mtudents.
These posters gave a carefully prepared
argument in support of the French po
sition as opposed to that of (treat Brit
ain. Newspapers printed in the English
nd French languages bused their con
tention that the French attitude was
correct on the ground Unit if the parti
tion of Silcsio would arouse a spirit
of revenge in Germany, It was too late
to ilpply 'this theory. They declared
that, since Danzig and other places had
been taken away from Get man v, ttie
only thing remaining was to render Ger
many as impotent us possible.
Ucrlln, Aug. 13. (By A. P.) In
formation regarding the decislou of the
Supreme Allied Council to refer the
Lpper Silesian dispute to the League of
Nations wub confined to a brief bulletin
received here late yesterday afternoon.
The action of the council occasioned
surprise in official circles, and, while
the Government declined to discuss the
new situation, there was an intimation
that the Wirth Cabinet was disap
pointed at the Council's iuabilitv to
reach a tlnal and equitable decision
"We chiefly regret the delay involved
by the new procedure," a Cabinet offi
cial declared, "because it is calculated
to prolong the linrdbhinri of Uie alreadv
sorely tried populate of Upper Silesia."
Discussing the differences between
England and France, as reflected in re
ports of the deliberations in Paris, a
German official said :
"Germany has no interest in pre
venting an actual break In the ranks
of the Entente She has an abiding faith
in the righteousnQss of her case respect
ing Upper Silesia, and is quite willing
to have the issue decided by the Coun
cil of the League."
There is evident some apptchenslon
regarding the nature of the attitude
taken bj the Poles, in view of the
Council's decision It is asserted thev
are prepared for a fresh invasion of
the plebiscite area of Upper Silesia.

LAKEHURST READY

Hugo Hangar Prepared for Dir
igible About to Start
Across Atlantic
CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS
Bu n Sc7tT ron-fur-nnil'it
Lahchtirst, N. .1.. Aug. 13.- Out of
the scrub pines here there is being built
one of the largest air stations in the
world. Not only is It a triumph of
modern engineering, but It is a monu
ment to the faith that the Government
has in the kind of men that sails its
airships.
This air station l being built pri
marily with one purpose In view, and I
that Is to receive the newest addition to I
the United Stute Navy, th- giant
dirigible balloon ZH-2. The big ,i'r
ship is completed nnd going thro igb
tests In England now, nnd will stir
America on August 25 or ns soon -.i er
ns conditions permit.
Tnnt the faith that has "inpicd
1 ."In Sam to spend many millioi'- "f
dollars on the gamble that thee nic n I
can malic the trip is not nil-pin. ed can
be believed when n. person 1cm k- mi'
what has already been done on thi -ide
It can be appreciated even mc ie when
one gets an opportunity to meet and
talk with the men who nre on This
side waiting for the same tjpc to come
over on the hugs gas bag.
A group of men has ju-t c nine tec
Lakehurst from England, wher t
have been training for n year to be a
part of the crew of the ZIt-2. The.v
were sent here to train the "00 men
necessary to moor the flier when su
comes to Lakehurst.
Of all the big structures on the Held
the most impressive, of coui.se. is ilie
big hangar, the future home of the
ZK-2. It domlnntes n great cleared
space to nn extent thnt nuiki s it seem
Impossible that the cleared place around
it is over a mile squure. Perhaps the
best way to get an idea of its sl?e--so
much better expressed In the accom
panying picture thnn in words is to
quote Lieutennnt Commander H. M
Kddv, the man who built it
"You could tnke two full-size city
squares, made up entirely of sixteen -story
buildings, and put them in the
Iiangar and there would still he lots of
room!"
"Fighting Bob's" Son There
Captain Frank T. Evans, son of
"Fighting Bob" Evnns (and jut as
rough and ready), is commander of the
post.
Under the direction of Commander
Eddy, who is engineer nt the station,
the 'Bethlehem Steel Corporation put
up the hangar.
Its proportions nre staggering. It
is S03 feet long. 2H feet wide and 200
feet high. It Is of steel nnd concrete
construction. It could hold the
Maurctanla and the Paris, giantesses
of the PCs. nnd all the tugs necessary
to berth the big ships.
While he was at it. Uncle Sam de
cided to build for the future, too. The
hangar will hold the ZIt-2 and a sis
ter ship, both of 2,000,000 cubic feet
pas capacity, easily. It is built with
the dirigible building program In mind
and designed to hold two 5,000,000
cubic feet airships, if such crnft were
ever built.
Look on Hangar From Above
A reporter and a photographer got
a chance to get some idea how tiny the
big hangar is. A nnvy kite balloon had
just arrived at the post, and through
the courtesy of Captain Evans they
were allowed to go up in her und get
the samo Impression of the post as will
come to the ZH-2 crew when they nr
rive nt Lakehurst.
From the air the hangar seemed
rather a man-made thing at thnt. On
the ground it looks like just a little too
much of n job for humans. The mlle
sqiiare field seemed rather a small spot
to try to hit. The way the freight
cars. 'trucks nnd wagons crept along
like tiny insects, it seemed possible that
those little tilings had bitten off a little
larger job than they could chew,
A mooring mast will be of a tj pe
similar to those already in use in Eng
land. There will be a few Yankee im
provements, like elevators and tele
phones, but essentially it will be the
same.

Customs agents expect to catch some
"big fish" when the net is brought in.
Mr. Crooks declares he doesn't care
whom it produces. "The bigger they
come the better it'll be." lie snld.
Convincing Kvhlencc Larking
Most of the men interested in the
smuggling traffic are known to customs
officials, but evidence which would con
vict in court is still lacking, it Is said.
A number of ngeuts nre working
along the New .Terse Const expecting
almost hourly to unearth a huge liquor
cache which they believe to be on the
marsh lauds nenr Uornegat Light.
Revenue officers say the liquor is
dumped overboard from the boats nt
high water and then recovered when the
tide has gone out. v
They have little hope of catching nny
more rum runners in that vicinity just
nt present. It is said smugglers have
transferred their activities to the Mary
land nnd Virginia coasts recently. Re
ports have come from that section
during the last few dn.vs that n num
ber of boats have been seen running
without lights between Cape Henlopen
nnd Fenwick Shoals Light.
Exnmlnntlbn of shipping records has
shown that eleven schooners, with gaso
line power in addition to their sails,
have been transferred from Philadelphia
ownership to men llvins in the Southern
pnrt of the country.
To Imestlgate Ship Owners
Customs men believe these s'hlps arc
engaged in (lie smuggling traffic nnd
will make the ownership pnrt of their
investigation into the bone traffic.
An opinion on the "three-mile limit"
will be obtained from some Admiralty
expert by revenue agents. All express
themselves ns being iu ignorance of the
exact basis for the law which suppos
edly gives immunity from examination
nnv ship outside the limit. The be
lieve it may have its foundntion nt n
llnw when guns were only able to shoot
three miles. Providing shooting dis
tirnte is the hnsis, they propose having
the limit extended.
