PUNXSUTAWNEY, Fa., May 5. — The marathon dishwashifg rec- ord of the world was clalmel to- day by Miss Susle Hetlock of the village of Covode, near here. Susie, aged twenty-two years, got a job in the kitchen of the Pantall Hotel, several months ago. Some of her friends were discussing marathon dancing last Monday, and the con- versation cventually centered on the subject of cleaning the family plate. A wager was laid and Susie started on her record-making dishwashing expedition. Using only the old-time methods —A dishcloth, pan, hot water and soap, Miss Hetlock continued her operations for thirty-one hours without a stop. She won the wager and the hotel manager rewarded her by ordering a two-day vaca- tion. ‘COMMAND OF SEAS' TALKIGNORED HERE: U. S. Makes Light of British| Admiralty Plea for Navy Funds. {U. S.

All the foregoing. however, is the diplomatic view. Naval officers are much more sensitive even to rhetori- cal expressions like “command of the seas” than arc officials of the Depart- ment of State. < The interpreiation of the 5-5-3 treaty from vear to vear will always be a delicate proposition, with the dip- Tomatic side of the two governments anxious to do nothing to offend while the naval men on both sides will be straining at the leash to get appro- priations for more personnel and bet- ter quality equipment. Again and again since the arms conference Sec- retary Denby of the Navy Department has protested publicly that certain im- provements in persornel and arma- ment were necessar: to live up o the plane of erquality with Great Britain, but he has never said anvthing which would indicate re on the part of the United States to put on the seas a navy of greater strength than the British, however corfident Ame can sallor men might be that given ®hips of equal force their skiil and maneuvers would entitie them to ar- gue that they held “command of the seas” The upshot of the incident probably will be no exchange of notes batween the two governments. but unquestion- ably Sir_Auckland Geddes, the British ambassador, who is a g0od reporter of hings gpink on in America, will write a long letter describing tha effect on American opinion of the “command of the seas” speach of the first lord of tha admiralty and the phrase will take its place along with many others in speech ss that have been called “indiscree and have never been repeated in the in- ‘erest of good feeling between the two peoples.

The message of Mr. Gompers to the Lausanne conference was as foliows: “The cause of humanity cries out to vou that the massacre of Armenians be effectually ended and Armenia be given the opportunity of living her own life and working out her own destiny.
