Although they differ in tone, that of Captain E. A. Jessop, U. S. N. retired, being uncompromising and severe while that of Captain Henry McConkey of the Cunard line being more restrained, both declare the SOS should have been sent out six hours earlier and that the officers did not take proper steps to see to the safety of the passengers. Captain McConkey tempered: his criticism of Captain William J. Carey, who went down with his ship, by calling attention to the captain’s long service and perfect record. He said there might have been reasons which the inquiry had not brought out which led the captain to delay his SOS and urged withholding judgment on the captain until a re- view could be made by the British board of trade. Captain Jessop, however, did not spare Captain Carey nor other of- ficers in his charge of inefficiency and bad sea practice. “History holds no incidents, to my knowledge, to compare with the in- competence and sheer stupidity of this exhibition.” ROCKEFELLER ASKS ACCLAIM Calls Friendship Greatest Thing in Life, Acclaim Bet- ter Than Riches Ormond Beach, Fla., Dec.

Friendship is one of the greatest things of life.” Pausing to recollect the word, and after rejecting the suggestion of Mr. Yorbi, who accompanied him to Ormond Beach, that it was “content- ment,” Mr. Rockefeller continued: “Ah, yes, I have it—acclaim— that’s the word. “You know that old saying: ’Tis better to be acclaimed than have riches?

KELLOGG READS ANTI-WAR PACT Washington, Dec. 7.—(AP)—Fore- going the regular bi-weekly cabinet meeting, Secretary Kellogg appeared today before the senate foreign re- lations committee in executive ses- sion to explain his views of the ulti- lateral treaty renouncing war as an instrument of National policy. Almost a full attendance of the committee listened to the secretary. While no opposition has been public- ly announced to the treaty, some enators questioned Mr. Kellogg losely about the possibility that this country’s efforts to enforce the pact might draw it into war. Chairman Borah, of the commit- tee, is hoping for early committee ion on the treaty and if any op- position develops within the com- mittee it is generally expected to be not against the pact itself but in favor of a reservation to it.
