Cherbourg and other channels porta will fee .as regular as railroad- pasaengrr trains arriving in the giant terminals of New York. In a contract signed with Earl C. Hanson, a young inventor 6f Los Angeles, the Navy Department took the first atep to make practical the greatest development in marine travel since the invention c: the steam tnrblne. Test* will be made at once fet the naval base at New London, and later a greatest test with some of the biggest liners of the world, like the Leviathan, will be made in Ambrose Channel, In New York harbor. Material has been shipped to New London for the first test, and men have already been detailed for tlys work. Many hundred men will ‘be placed on this task by the Navy between now and January i. As soon as the official test* hare proved satisfactory all of the great ports of the I'nited States wilt bt equipped by the Navy with the device to defy fog, hail, rain, snow and BleeL in allocating naval funds for this purpose Secretary Daniels, of t Navy, has acted with promptness order that from the Navy itself th* United States would receive one oi the greatest peace-time gift* * that science has devised. By the ow the new invention in connection with lbe radio compass which the Navy has now perfected all danger or delay in ocean travel due to weather Is absolutely eliminated. The radio rompass brings all shipping In sight of land, and the new device, like friendly hand, reaches ont and lakes the biggest of ship* through the most tortuous channels safely and quickly to its pier. The new device is simplicity itself. A cable Is laid in the center of the ship channel. Through it is sent an electric current of low frequency, which through the listening devices on board ship gives off a sound of certain pitch that cannot >t>a mis taken for any other sound,’’ The .>hlp hugs the cable from harbor line> to the dock. On the bridge SRid :n the captain’s cabin listening devices like telephone receivers are placed and attached by wire* to the bull of' the ship. The ship follows the course of the cable. Any '^nation away from the cable is indicated by visible Indieatora, which show in feet the distance away from the cable and the ship is then pot back over the cable by the steering rudder in the umibI manner. By the ear-receiver* the indicators may be confirmed at ail times. Vessels going Into port will use one cable: those coming out another. The sound on each !» different and there can be no contusion and therefore ■ o collision. Along the cable at mile intervals a section is insnlated with lead. Through this no sound ran come, and therefore the mtn oe lii-cnlng duly ran tell Instantly how far the ship brs progrrsned. and by the cable chart in front of him ran tell where the Cable turns and where the ehip must be steered to follow the curve of the cable and the center of the channel. The new device, recording to the egperl* of the Navy who have tested it and recommended its use. ie fool-proof and as reliable as the telephone. It Will work in all rcnoitioiis of water and weather and no amount irf electricity In the air «r powerful wireless currents about the ship can afiect It la any way. BniTlBH AND HUNS CLASH.

He And Hinas, However, CI-vailed Over Steal Prices And Resignation Has Been Expected. Washington.—William C. Redfield. Secretary of Commerce has tendered his resignation to Pre«id*nt Wilson. «nd it baa been accepted, effective November L Secretary Redfield. In announcing bis resignation, said he found it neceatary to give immediate attention to personal business affairs, adding ’.hat he was anxious to return to private life, after spending more than eight years in Washington. The Secretary **id he wrote President Wilson on August 1 asking him i.- accept his resignation as of October 16. When be found the President wss to he away on bis speaking tour dor ing September, however, he agreed to remain until the last of October. Announcement of Mr. Redfield'* res‘gnation did not come ns a aurprii Since his disagreement with Director"rcneral of Railroad* Mine* regarding trices tor steel several months ago it •ad been almost common gossip that he contemplated early retirement from the President's Cabinet. President Wilson was in Europe when Mr. Redfield, with the approval it the Executive, set up a board to agree upon fair p-ices for necessities with a view to stimnlating production. Mr. Hines refused to accept the price lor steel agreed upon between the board and the industry, contend!: that it was too high. The controversy finally was referred to th* President »t Pari*. No formal announcement of the result was msde. but soon afterward the board was dissolved and Mr. Rtnew proceeded to buy steel for the Railroad Administration in the open market on competitive blda. Mr. Redfield, however, denied that bis resignation was the result of friction between himself and other Ad ministration officials. My resignation" he se«d. "is not the result of any quarrel, disagreement. chagrin or any other unpleasant occurrence, but Is caused wolely and entirely by my desire to return to bnrinees and give my attention once more to my personal affaire, which for more than eight years have been subordinated to the public interests." 10 SOLDIERS WERE EXECUTED.

Senate Committee Votes to Report Pact With Reservations—Supreme Council Sends Ultima tarn to Roe mania and Warning to Germany—Industrial Conference

Planned.

By EDWARD W. PICKARD. President Wilson Is on his way. telling the people of the United States face to face bow excellent a document ‘x the peace treaty with the Incorporited League of Nations covenant and bow necessary to the welfare -of the world it I* that It should be ratified by the senate speedily. Beginning his adtea at Columbus, O- be continued them at Indianapolis. St Louis, Kansas City and Des Moines, an^ he is now proceeding on westward by the northern reate. Before leaving Washington Mr. ’Yllsob bad a final conference With Senator HlicbCock and lamed Instructions to bit supporters to make a fight to • finish for ratification of the treaty Ju*t as It stands Senator Hitchcock on the same day addressed the senate on the question, hotly denouncing the opponent* of the treaty, even those who favor only mild reservation*. He declared the real purpose of the majority on the foreign relations committee was to kill the yact entirely, and indeed there seems to be JuKtlfiratton for that a*M-rtloo. Senator Knox's proposal that the treaty be reiecled and a aeparatr peso# made with Germany, he said wa» an lotanc mixture of poltroonery and folly. Mr. Hitchcock took direct luue with lhow who complain that the I'nited Stares’will derive no advantage* and benefit* from the treaty n« It I*. They evldenlly have no eonc-nlon. he said, of the mormons benefi America wfil get from it. and Intimated these wonhi come through the operation* of the reparation* commission, tbougl and what they would be. be in ,-lectod to t-splalii. The »rnate committee on foreign re lathmr voted to recommend the ratification of the treaty by the renalr with four Important modification*. There reservation* provide for unconditional right to withdraw from the 1^-ngue of Nation*; a**umptlon of no obligation to guarantee territorial iutegrity of nations or to employ troops for coercive purposes or to accept mandates except under the direction of iviugrew; full freedom to determine what question* are domestic and therefore not auhject to conalderatlon by the league; exemption of the Monroe doctrine from consideration by the league and duels rat I on that the United Slate* l» sole interpreter of that doctrine. Senator Shield* of Tcnnesrec. Democrat. Joined the majority In voting for all tlie rerervatlnn* except (list reluting to article X. Senator McCumber of North Dakota voted again*! the fir*t two reservations, tin the in*t two the vote wa* 11 to 6.

Ax for the Chinese, If Toscke Matsucka. a member of the Japanese peace delegation. Is to be believed, the wind will soon be taken ont of the sails of those who are shooting against the Shantung settlement. He thinks Japan will open negotiations In a very fei\ tor the settling of the Shantung question In a way that will satisfy ev> eryone. Tokyo will offer to restore the territory to Chins, withdrawing all Japr.nese troops, stipulating that the peninsula shall be open to International trade and that there shell be an Internatlonalg settlement at Taing-Tao. and that the Sh.-.ntung railway shall be op .’rated by a Cblno-Japanese Joint corporatism. There are reasons to believe the Chinese government Is not nearly so angry over the Sharping article as the American opponents of the treaty pretiod to be. Hungary cootlnaes to present the most annoying problems now before the peace conference. The Roumac'an occupants of the country so for have been absolutely defiant of the orders of the supreme council and arc said bo-plundering it In a most shameway. Finally the exasperated council last week dispatched to the Roumanians an ultimatum coucbcJ in drastic terms, demanding that they evacnate Hungary and hand over to the alMc* for proper distribution all the goods they have requisitioned. The Roumanian diplomatic representatives In the allied capitals also were summoned by the foreign ministers who Impressed on them the seriousness of the situation that would arise If their government shcold refuse to comply. The position of the Roumanians is that what they call the war between them and the Hungarians Is s new affair and that the allied conference bat nothing to do with 1L In Budapest they were trying hard to establish a government that the allies would recognise.

militarist plot of Germany for the domination of Europe. As It Is left by the treaty. Austria will be an unimportant “republic" of some 6.003.000. The decision whether It shall be permitted Join Germany is left to the League of Nations. When the supreme council read the new German constitution the other day It found in It provision for the representation of Austria in the German leichsratb. This being contrary to the Versailles treaty, the Ger* government was told that the article roust be changed within a fortnight or tbe allies would undertake a further occupation of the left bank of Rhine. The Berlin press there upon warned the allies of the danger of precipitating a new revolt of tbe German people. The Pan-Germans, by no means suppressed, bold a union conference recently in Berlin which was participated in by Austrians, and laid plans for the restoration of tlie Imperial government, union with Austria and tbe recovery of the lands ceded by the peace treaty. Marshal Focb has determined tbe territory which the American troop* will occupy permanently in the Rhineland. It will he about twice a* great in extent as that occupied by them recently. Just before starting ont on hi* speaking tour President Wilson otnounced that a* general conference on iadustrial and economic questions would be held in Washington early In October. Already a number of leaders of finance, manufacturing, labor and agriculture hare been Invited and the list will be enlarged from time to time. Tbe president and members of his cabinet will take part In the discussions, and It is the hope and belief of Mr. Wilson and indeed of everyone that the sessions of this round table wfll have decisive beneficial results In the way of stabilizing Industrial conditions. Certainly much good should come of the frank Intercnange of opinions and suggestions that ia planned. In general tbe labor situation is unchanged. pending the president's tour, tbe wsr on high prices and the above mentioned runfe-ence.
