AIRCRAFT LIMITATION IS
IMPRACTICAL
TO STOP BOMBING OF CITIES
Senator Schanxer Recalls 8ufferinQi
Of Civilians D,urlnfl War, As He
Pleads For Restrictions
Washington.—All Huggoalionu foi
limitation of military aircraft were
thrust iiHido as impracticable by the
naval committee of the arms confer
encc, the following resolution being
adopted:
“The committee is of the opinion
that it is not at present practicable to
impose any offectivo limitations upon
lhe numbers or characteristics of air
craft, either commercial or military.'
At the snmo time, agreement war
reached for the creation of a mixed
commission of experts urnl jurists tc
take up at some future time a Btudy
of the rules of warfare In their ap
plication to aerial operations. The
exact wording of the resolution to this
end, including the specific mission oi
the commission and just how the body
was to be constituted, was left to the
drafting counnitee.
The resolution declaring aircraft
limitation Impracticable at this time
follows closely tho language of the
report of the subcommittee. It was
chungod, however, to eliminate an ex
ception to lightor-thun-air craft noted
by the subcommittee, tho full commit-
I toe discussion making It clear that the
delegations were agreed that the same
general argument against restricting
' aircraft development because of the
I wide possibilities the future may hold
j for commercial aviation, applied both
• to airplunes and dirigibles.
| Another change in tho subcommlt*
| tee conclusion was the insortlon at
the suggestion of Arthur J. Balfour
j of tho British group, of tho words “at
j present.’• Mr. Balfour said the time
might come when arms limitation
projects could be projected into the
field of aviation, mnro definite kjiowl-
edge than hHtig available rfs to a prac
tical distinction between commercial
and military flying machines.

FREE STATE RATIFIED
Concluding Debate On Pact Creating
Irish Free 8tate Develops Much
Heated Argument
Dublin.—The treaty creating tho
Irish Free State was ratified by the
dall oireann. By a majority of seven
votes, 64 to 57, the dall gave its ap
proval to The document signed by its
delegates at London.
Coincidentally, Eamon do Valera an
nounced his resignation from the pres
idency of the Irish republic.
The nows was received with the
greatest enthusiasm and tho patient
crowds which had waited for hours
outside the University building in an
ticipation of a decision, burst into
cheering, even boforo the official fig
ures were announced.
Ratification of the treaty came af
ter a day of intense excitoment and
heated controversy. Although tho re
sult was as had been expected, tho
majority in favor of tho ngrooment
was greater than had boon counted
on almost up to tho last minute.
A tense, strained silence prevailed
while the voto was being taken, and
a gasp of relief wont up from the
supporters of the treaty when the
result was announced. A dramatic
scene ensued, when Do Valera stood
up and In broken voice, which vi
brated with emotion, declared that
“the Pepublio” must he carried on.
The future control of tho Irish re
publican army la the subject of anx
ious speculation, ns Charles Burgess,
who strongly opposed tho treaty in tho
minister of defense. So far as tho re
public is concerned, Dublin seems de
lighted over the ratification. Arthur
Griffith and his colleagues on emer
ging ijrom tho parliament, wore wild
ly cheered and tho city is In Jubilant
spirits.

Ice Gives Way; Three Are Drowned
Southampton, N. Y.—Two young
glrla broke through the thin Ice at
Lake Agawuni while skating and then
dung ho tightly about the neck of a
youth, who tried to save them, that
all three were drowned. The bodies
were recovered soon afterward and
rushed to the Southampton hospital,
where an unsuccessful attempt was
made to induce artificial respiration.
The victims were Marie Uuchied, II.,
Stella Largo and Charles Jenkins.
for later discussion.
On tho question of aircraft, tho sub
committee reported that It was deem
ed impossible to limit the sizo or *use
or characteristics of aircraft, other
than lighter-than air craft, and that the
question of restricting aircraft In war,
In its opinion, should bo left open for
a future conference.
Tho aircraft roport was drawn by
the subcommittee beaded by Hoar Ad
miral Moffatt of tlio American navy.
Jt assorted that It was deemed Impos
sible to restrict development of air
craft and that a limitation on com
mercial development of aircraft would
retard the new science, while commer
cial aircraft would be converted quick-**
ly for military usages. Therefore, the
report found, it would be inadvisable
to lay down any set of rules for restric
tions except as to the llghter-than-alr
machines. Those were said to be com
paratively a minor weapon of war.
