DISCUSSED AT
NEUTRAL MEET
Amendments Considered
Which Would Restrict Use
of Force by Members of
League of Nations.
Paris, March 22. (Havas.)
Delegates to the conference of neu
trals devoted considerable time to-day
to the discussion of the article
of the league ol nations covenant
which provides for coercive meas
ures against a state '. reaking rela
tions with the league without sub
mitting its grievances to the execu
tive body of the league. Amend
ments were prepared stipulating
' that force might be used only in
case of necessity that it might be
brought to bear only after eco
nomic pressure had been insufficient
and that small states might decline
to take warlike steps.
Lord Robert Cecil, who presided,
said Jhat if small states were al
lowed to refrain from military ac
tion, the forces of other states
should be given permission to pass
over their territories.
Premier Venizelcs of Greece, de
clared incidentally during the dis
cussion' that purely-offensive alli
ances would be allowed under the
league of najions covenant. The
principle that armaments should
be reduced to a minimum was rec
ognized by the conference. 2.

Offend Council of
Ten by Criticisms
Pris, March 22, The meeting of
the supreme council of 10 yesterday
was taken up in large part with
discussion of peace onference com
ment in the French newspapers, ac
cording to the Paris press this
morning. This is the third time that
the conference has started on the
"warpath against tlio press, says M.
Saint Brice in Lejournal, who
adds that it has already been re
marked that the "fits of temper" are
never symptomatic of favorable de
velopments. The failure of the ..mucil to teach
a decision regarding Polaiul and the
sending, of a commission "to the
Orient are the Subjects of trenchant
. Criticism in this Morning's news
papers, together with what the so
cialist Humanite calls the confer
snce's lack of method and daily
growing confusi.-n.
The "pertinax" article in the Echo
de Paris appeared with a large blank
space marring its flow, whihr-under
the heading of "The Council of
Ten," in l'Eclair there was another
l large white gap.
The Petit Journal, which was for
merly edited by Stephen Pichon,
now the foreign minister, warns the
public against optimistic forecasts of
the early 'conclusion of the peace
preliminaries, while the Figaro fol
- lows Col. E. M. House's statement
regarding the possibility of the sign
ing of peace in three weeks with
the remark, "What a- beautiful
dream!"
Peace Must Bring
Irish Settlement
N Asserts Plunkett
t New York,, March 22. The time
, is ripe to solve the problem of self
government for Ireland and itmust
be' settled "in Ireland and no
where else." in the opinion of Sir
Horace Plunkett, who departed to-A
dav for the Brhish isls after cvcn
weeks in this country devofed large-1
Jy to studying American sentiment
regarding the age-long issue of his
native land.
"The war should have brought,
peace must bring, an Irish settle
ment," he declared. Announcing his
- Opposition to any plan involving
partition of Ireland, ' "which from
time to time finds favor at West
minster," Sir Horace said he found
American opinion "quite definite in
this regard, adding that division of
the Island "would no more satisfy
the American public than it would
be tolerated by I the sentiment oi
' Ireland." 1

By ROBERT WELLS RITCHIE.
Staff Correspondent of Universal
Service
London, March 22. "Beware the
air rocks off Newfoundland." This
message, accompanying njeteorlog-
lcal details furnished by the British
admiralty has been sufficient to hold
up the plans of the imminent de
parture "of the great airships, R-33
and R-34, for their flight to Ameri
ca, because it has just beefi , dis
covered that a permanent wide area
of "air reefs" in the transatlantic
route between Ireland and New
foundland makes the success of
even the most powerful airship du
bious.
I have the best authority from
the air ministry for the statement
that the recent charting of this men
acing area of low depression and
high winds only just received from
britisn experts experimenting witli
kite balloon on the transat
lantic course, seriously reduces the
chances of an airship from Ireland
being the first to cross the Atlantic
westward, but increases the possi
bilities of an aeroplane, starting
from Amefrea, reaching the Euro
Dean coast. . i
"The air minister and the admiral-
try have reports confirming former
observations establishing a mqre or
less permanent area of depression
200 miles wide due south of Green
land and east of Newfoundland,
wherein the winds vary from IS to
6 miles per hour as high up in tht
as 3,000 feet, which is the highest
practical flying level at this season,
sa"id a British official to me.
"Counting the average cruising
speed of an airship like the R-S3 at
between 45 and 50 miles per hour,
one can readily see how serious is
the obstacle formed by this depres
sion, together with squalls of r(ain
and snow. '
Trip to Denmark.
. "The experience a few days ago of
a Britii semi-rigid airship circling
the North sea as yet unpublished, in
dicates the difficulties experienced
when encountering continued high
winds. An airship returning to Den
mark encountered a 45-knot gale,
(-accompanied by snow squalls. One
of its engines broke down and the
navigator thought for a while it
would be necessary to make an
emergency landing in Holland. But
.. . . . . . -
tne airsnip remained aiott and cov
ered 1,285 miles in 40 hours, partly
oy antting witn tne wind.
Experts have determined that an
airship starting from Ireland either
will have to fly far to the north to
within 150 miles off the Greenland
tip, where the cold at this season is
about 12 degress below zero and
where engine trouble is likely, or
swing around in a great southern
circle via the African coast and the
Azores, and making the landing at
Pensacola, Fla., or the United Stales
naval base at Guantanamo.'
"This southern alternative means
a passage of 6,000 miles not pro
hibitive, but problematical even if
supplies are taken on at French
West Africa. '
"The prevailing winds over the
southern rouft-at this season, how
ever are all favorable. The airship
navigator could count upon drifting
from the Azores to America, if
necessary.
v "An aeroplane with a capacity of.
110 miles per hour would be able to
weather1 a 50-mile gale if it Were not
too long protracted. But his aero
competitor from Ireland westward
has to reckon upon an excessive gas
consumption if he encounters per
sistent head winds from the New
foundland air reefs. Guessing these
conditions, but without full knowl
edge. H. G. Hawker recently left
England with Lieutenant Sopwith,
planning a flight from America east
ward. No News From French Ace.
"While preparations have been go
ing forward on both sides of the At
lantic for an international ocean
race, a mystery has already been
bprn. What has become of Fontan,
the Trench lieutenant last heard of
as leaving Dakar, West Africa,
headed toward Cape Verde, Per
nambuco? The British official who
a few days ago gave me exclusive
information concerning this flight
declared today that no news had
been received from France or any
course concrning Lieutenant Fon
tan's fate."

The Expression of Personalty
Which Is the Promise of Spring'
The doing away with the set styles of yester-year when one's in
, - cliriations were, of necessity, limited in scope, the better to meet
with Fashion's dictates. A season of happiness and of oppor
tunity eloquently expressed bythis store today.
It, Is To Your
Interest To" Know
That the Tailored Suit is made
particularly distinctive by the use;
of short, smart appearing jackets; touches
of braid and novel trimming effects.
Straight lines to the skirts often with the
addition of a cuff. And the vests, their
variations are legion, but all are brightly
colored many influenced by fashion of
the "Orient. Between the strictly tailored
models and the odd little novelty suits
there is a plentiful number of the so
called semi-tailored effects that achieve
distinction through many little unusuali
fctes and they are very desirable Indeed.
Dresses are truly lovely to see and
- still more lovely to wear. Geor"
gettes, foulards and taffetas have the call
but not exclusively no, not by any
means. You'll appreciate Springtime
Dresses to better advantage by personally
viewing them descriptions are so inade
quate. Capes, Coats, Dolman Effects
make wraps more interesting than
usual. Linings of contrasting shades of
striking design add a touch of necessary
brightness. So becoming that one may feel
inclined to wear them for the sake of ap
pearances alone.
i The Vogue of Separate Skirts
is welcome because in featuring this
particular fashion designers have accom
plished wonders not a little of which is
due to the use of charming fabrics. You
may think you are familiar with the op
portunities the separate skirt affords,
but that is not strictly correct until the
Spring styles have been inspected.
Our moderate prices include all charges
for alterations and so efficient is this ser
vice in the Thompson-Belden store that
fitting has become an exjct science leav
ing nothing to be desired.

vice which is of reah assistance, for
