Washington.— President Harding, it wrs authoritatively learned,, believe* the speech of Premier Lloyd,George In npeulng ihe British Imperial conference In London has materially advanced the prospect of a conference on limitation of aaval armament*.

llately introduced lu the senate by .'cuator .Poindexter. It would confer blanket authority on the trerattfy witn approval of the President, to reconver or extend loans nnd Interwt payments, to accept foreign securities und to settle claims not now ■$

cured.

Mr. Harding wrote the two ehatj^j men that "all the circumstances suggest the grant of broad power; to toe secretary ef the treasury to handle the problem in sneb a mamcr us best to protect the Interests of our goveriiment” ■I hope your committee and Gon- ! cress,'' the President’s letter con- 1 tinned, “will find It consistent prompt-; ly to scncrlon such an act ns that, which. In suggested hi the enclosed draft. If the Congress will promptly "auction such a giant of authority the secretary of the treasury may proceed tr. the prompt exerdra of the powers; granted to him and reasonably may; expect a satisfactory handling of th» obligation* due and tlie dr.Uns of our government which are swailing set-' tletnent.” Senator P arose announced that the

Capt H T. Douglas and Lieut M. J. Plumb Victim* of Unusual Tragedy. Graf* Rising After Dropping Bomb Cuts Tail Off Mats. With tbe Atlantic Fleet, Off th* Virginia Capes.—While Arow lean destroyers were sinking two German submarines off the Cape Charles Lightship two of the best known fliers ot the army air service were drowned after a collision of their airplanes in the Course ot a bombing raid directed at the hulk of the old battiesl 'p tsan Marcos, formerly the Texas, <«fi Tangier Island. Tbe deed aviators were Capt. Howard T. Douglas and Lieut. Marti J, 1'Itunb. Soon after the planes and the two officer* had sunk from sight and before any efforts could be made to rescue the n, another plane which bad raken part In tbe uoinhing dropped a bomb containing 80C pounds of TNT, which fell war where tbe machines went down. The terrific explosion of the bomb, aviation officers said, would make difficult the recovery of the bodies or the planes In which the two filers fell. It Is thought, however, that both men were dead before tho bomb bit toe wr.-

»er.

Reports received h-r. said the accident which cost the lives of Douglas and i’lumb was one of the rriwt peculiar on record. Plumb, fiyu g a fast single seated seaplane, was ropplng bombs, and Douglas, in a similar muchlne, was observing tlie raid from above. Plumb's machine had Just dropped a bomb nnd was climbing upward, ns Is the custom after releasing a bomb, when It struck Captain Douglas' machine, cutting off its talL Both shljia fell into the bay and disappeared, together with their pilots, neither of whom was seen again uLer Urey had sunk. Douglas, whose home was lu Covluo, Cal, was one of tbe best kno-ra of army filers. Plumb, whose home war to Fond du t-ttc, was recognised as one of the army's most expert fliers. Weather ’ conditions vere spiendld for the tests. Although the sea. Which had been comparatively calm tor the aerial attack on the U-1I7. was rough, there was a bright sun when the bottie&hips with the transport Henderson made their way from the anchorage to a point about twenty miles beyond, where the subtnarlre# were at anchor. The observation vessels were In position about 8,000 yard* from the submarines when the destroyers, five of them In column, steamed into view over the hettaon. Th j started firing when titey were 5,000 yards from tho target—using five-inch guns—and continued until they were abreast of the target at 8,000 yard*. Their course was oblique. The 1.-140 wa* the first to be sunk. Tbe Dtdaereoa alone fired on her. using thirty-nine shots of a possible forty, and of these the board of observers, treaded hy Capt. Luke McNamee of the battleship Nevada, recorded that nineteen were direct bits. The first toot ■-■** fired at H:<W o'clock, and the scbmnrloe, broken, twisted, with tire conning tower shot . ff, sank in exactly I hour 29 minute* and 80 second*. The U-I40, which was built to IMS and measured 302 feet In length, went down by tire stern, with her bow sticking straight in tbe air. She bad boon one of the fineri of the German submarines, with a cruising radios of 10.000 miles. Sire .vas capable of carrying a crew of eighty-three men end cost Germany more titan « tnlll'-w dollar* Officer* „nd men aboard the destroyers of toe fleet were in Ugh glee over the results of rive sinkings, obviously since there Lad been much debate eves! among themselves as to their ability to destroy toe submarines under the circumstance*. Tire range prescribed wa* a lung one and there was 'ittie of the target to be observed, tbe submarine being rwash.

It Is rumored In I^oadou that ton engagement of Miss Megan Lt»yfi George, daughter of tire British prsmSer, to Sir Philip Sassoon, »be premier’s brilliant young secretary, will , soon be announced Hiss Lloyd George Is nineteen nnd Sir Philip 1? thirtyone.
