" ANGLO-RUSSIAN TREATY IS SIGNED Negotiators in - London. King Does Not Affix Signature. By the Associated Press. LONDON, August 8.—The treaty and commercial agreement between Great Britaln and Soviet Russia which were negotiated after the An- glo-Russlan conference apparently had abandoned its work as futile, and which have caused a furor in Eng- lish political circles, was signed at 6 o'clock this evening. Prime Minister MacDonald and Ar- thur Ponsonby, undersecretary for foreign affairs, signed for Great Britain and Ireland, while Adolph Joffe, Chris- tian. Rakovsky, Tomski and Sheinmann signed up for the Russian government. The treaty does not contain the name of King George because the Russians have no titular head of their government. Thus the Russians will sign for their government as a whole and the Britons only for their government, with no mention of the sovereign. Value Is Questioned. This raises the question of whether gucceeding British governments will be bound by a treaty omitting men- tion of the King and indicates that Great Britain is leaning toward the American system of placing treaties in the hands of legislative bodies. In the entire history of English treaty-making this will be the first time the King will not sign a treaty and it is creating a great deal of comment in London. There has been an intimation in some circles that the Soviet officials are not willing to sign a treaty bear- ing the signature of the British mon- arch, but an official British state- ment explains that legal authorities have decided that the failure of any aingle executive to sign for Soviet government makes it unneces- V sary for King George to sign the document. Called Provisional Pact. One London newspaper, in a de- ecription of the hostily drawn-up treaty, which promises that the Brit- ish government will guarantee a loan to the Soviets if they meet the con- ditions laid down by the British gov- ernment, says that this unusual docu- ment is realiy a treaty to make a treaty in case the parties can agree. The opposition press is bitter in its assaults on Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Ponsonby, and asserts that M. Jofte, who is the chief negotiator on behalf of the Soviets, is the man who surrendered Russia to Germany at Brest Litovsk. Great Britain will not sign the treaty on behalf of the dominions, 8o that no controversy can arise, as is did over the Lausanne treaty. There will be a provision in the commercial agreement that the do- minions may participate in it if they desire. « -— The Mexican people use a consider- able amount of cheese in combination with other foods, and the white va- riety and American yellow cream are in demand.

It is understood that he anticipated such conditions, however, having learned last year that strong winds were then holding the ice bank far up in the northland. Now the entire accumulation is said to have let loose and is sweeping around Greenland's coasts, rendering trafic over the sea almost impossible. Ever since plans for the world flight were first inaugurated in Washington more than a year ago, it is said that officials have known that the fvers would have to reach Angmagsalik before August 15. Optimistic Note Sounded. Out of the whirlwind of rumors that is swirling through Reykjavik and the Americar: fleet at least one optimistic note has been heard. Old- timers and sailors who have spent most of their lives on these seas told Licut. Smith that the best time of the vear to make a passage from Reykjavik to Greenland is in Sep- tember or October. As a result, the Americans are buffeted this way and that in the storm of adverse reports, each con- tradicting the other, and they are in heavy doubt as to just exactly what they should do. The theory has been advanced, however, that they may soon resume their flight and attempt to fuel at sea from American war | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, AUGUST .8, 1924. THREATENING craft on patrol duty. In the mean- time, the fiyers are keeping Wash- mgton advised of exact conditions and & decision as to the next move is eaxpected from there. Take New Quarters. Despite a cold, drissling rain, the airplane crews of the Richmond be- gan working today to hoist the Chi- cago and New Orleans, ships of Smith and Nelson, up on the beach. Natu- rally enough, this started rumors in circulation all over again and now Reykjavik seems satisfed that it will have the privilege of entertaining the Americans indefinitely. Indeed, these reports were given false cre- dence when the aviators moved thelr quarters froem the lord mayor's home to the Central Hotel. In the meantime, Smith, Wade and Nelson are going sightseelng in Reykjavik, oblivious to the storm of reports concerning them. They are %eeping thelr plans to themselves :nd seem to be enjoying themselves mmensely. Most any hour of the day they can be seen mingling with the quaint and modest citizens of this quaint, Icelandic capital. They have not found it difficult to make themselves “at home,” because Reykjavik is really quite comparable to a similarly sized American com- munity, except for the ever-present ice and its tempestuous climate. AIRMEN REFUSE TO DROP FLIGHT STILL SEEK GREENLAND LANDING (Continued from First Page.) round-the-world flight to Angmag- salik, has been unable to proceed through the heavy ice for nearly a week. Once this ship has reached Angmagsalik the fiyers can continue the flight, because the harbor there is free from ice during the Summer months and there will be sutficient clear water for the fyers to land and take-off without danger. “If the attempt to establish a sup- ply base at Angmagsallk must be abandoned on account of the con- tinued delay of the Gertrude Rask, it will still be possible for the world cruisers to fly direct to the soutnern end of Greenland, which is free trom ice and where pians are now bemg made to establish a base. The en- tire distance from Reykjavik to Cape Farewell is only 750 miles, which is sily within the cruising radius of vorld fiyers. Delay May Be Short. “To further safeguard this passage, it is thought that it will be possible | to establish an intermediate floating base midway between Revkjavik and | Cape Farewell on the edge of the floe | ice, through the medium of naval ves- | sels which are now in the Damish| Straits to guard the passage of the| world flyers across that body of| water. It is therefore expected that| the world flight will not be much fur-| ther delayed and within a short time the planes will be on their way to| Greenland Discussing the hazards of such a flight, one veteran aviator at Air Serv ice headquarters pointed out that there was little likelihood of the| aviators being forced to land at sea| for fuel. He said that each plane will carry 300 gallons of gasoline. Even though they burned 30 gallons an hour, which he declared was an extraordinary high estimate, they could remain in the air 10 consecu- tive hours. In that time they could reach Cape Farewell by traveling only 75 miles an hour, he said. Without Word Here. ir Service officials declared today noAdlspalches had been received from the Army advance party accompanying the world fiyers or from the naval con- voy which indicated any necessity for abandoning the Army’s world flight. The latest official reports received here were decidedly optimistic, and press dispatches describing a conference called by Rear Admiral Magruder to discuss the advisability of callinz off the flight came as a complete surprise. Maj. J. A. L. Rader, special aide to Geu. Patrick, in charge of the flight, declared that “our ships will come on just the same,” even if the Navy decides to withdraw the warships guarding the line of flight At the Navy Department it was said Admiral Magruder was acting entirely on his own responsibilty, and under instructions given him when the Richmond sailed for north- ern waters. Navy officers empha- sized the increasing danger to naval vessels as the season advances - the vicinity of Greenland, and asscii- ed that Admiral Magruder would be justified in calling these ° ~: to the attention of the fiyers ind ut i same time warning them that he could not remain.beyond a certain date.

AT THIS TIME THERE ARE AVAILABLE SEV- ERAL VERY AT- TRACTIVE TWO, M fe AT, 7, ST 1, for closing of the Iceland-Green- land straits to safe navigation over a period of years. Due to the un- usually severe weather conditions which have obtained this summer it was considered probable that the date upon which Navy vessels should be withdrawn from~ the north might have to be advanced a week or ten day. Meantime steps have been taken by the Army advance party to establish “emergency bases” on both the east and west coasts of Greenland for use by the flyers upon their next hop. A dispatch received today by the Air Service from Capt. Francis E. Crumrine, representing the service on the cruiser Milwaukee, said he had ordered _establishment of an em gency base ‘“on the west coast near Cape Farewell as possible” and was ‘“negotiating with the .steamer Quest to attempt to penetrate the ice and establish base at some other point on the east coast.” It was added that the two remain- ing flyers would wait at Reykjavik “until_ Greenland bases can be es- tablished. which are consistent with safety and success of flight.” The Crumrine dispatch was dated yesterday and evidently was sent be- fore Rear Admiral Magruder decided to call a conference to discuss the advisability of _discontinuing _the flight. Army officials said, neverthe- less, it adequately represented the determination of the service to “carry on” regardless of the increasing ob- stacles offered by ice fields along the Greenland coast. The spirit that has carried the American Army flyers almost around the world is manifest in a message dated Louisburg, Nova Seotia, August 7 and received by. the Air Service from Lieut. Wade, who commanded the plane wrecked off the coast of Iceland. Realizing that his action meant he and his fiying companion would be unable to complete the cir- cuit of the globe and share fully in the glory of that achievement, Lieut. Wade advised against sending a re- serve plane to him at a point where the wreck occurred, because he feared it would mean delay to the other ships and might threaten the success of the world flight itself. Tells of Strugxle. The message told of the struggle to save Wade's plane after it had come down at sea with engine trouble and explained that the cruiser Richmond had been competied to abandon the damaged aircralt be- cause there were rocks under her lee and the plane, with its pontoons punctured, had collapsed and cap- sized in the heavy sea after having been towed 40 miles. “The plane was sinking fast.”” Lieut.

Advise against send- ing reserve plane here, the delay prosenting an evident hazard to the othars finishing this year. Lieut Wade sald that when the difficulties in salvaging his wrecked plane due to the heavy sea had de- veloped, an effort was made to dis- assemble it in the water and take it aboard the cruiser piece by piece. The increasing wind and the heavy sea made it impossible to complete the task, and ‘the only resort was the attempt Lo tow the plane to safety, which also failed. The air service also received & message direct from Lieut. Bissell, requesting that authority be obtained from the Danish government for him to visit “Ulianhale and Fredesesdal and vicinity.” “Am investigating feasibility emer- gency landing place near Cape Fare- well,” the dispatch sald. “Please procure authority from Danish gov- ernment and wire me immediately.” PLANE IN BOSTON.

BOSTON, August 8.—The Boston 11, the Army airplane which left Langley Field, Va., yesterday for Pictou, N. §., reached the naval air station at Squantum, in Boston har- bor, at 12:20 p.m. today. The Boston 1I left Raritan Bay, Keyport, N. J., at §:45 a.m. daylight saving time today. The plane, piloted by Lieut, Mc- Donald, stopped there late yesterday to refuel, and it was then decided, because of the lateness of the hour, to_anchor in the bay overnight.
