He claims that Helen Gerra Explains That She Was Not Aware Stuff Cuontained More Blow ' Crew of Smaller Boat, Mem- bers of “Dry” Navy, Res- cued in Thrilling Dashes Through Serf., New York, May 19.—Driven by a vicious eastern gale, two government ships—Eagle boat No. 17, and the army steamer Gen. John W. Wilkins —pounded ashore on long Island early today and are reported to be breaking up. Terrific Storm The gale, which sprang up on the heels of a terrific rain storm about 1 a. m,, wrought havoc along the coast. Even the giant Aquitania in- bound from Europe, made hard sail- ing of her drive along the island and at one time coast guards reported there was a fear she might get in too close and come to grief in one of the many hidden bars. The Gen. Wilkins, pounded in on the rocks at Orient Point, Thursday, soon after she struck, her crew was carried off and the ship had been given up as lost. Thrilling Rescues The Eagle boat, newly attached to the “dry” navy, struck a hidden shift- ing bar one mile off Amagansett. Her crew of 60 men was recsued in a ser- ies of thrilling dashes through the surf on a wave submerged raft to which the men lashed themselves. Commander Rickets of the Eagle boat, hunting rum runners, got into difficulty shortly after midnight. He ran into a heavy fog. Then the gale tora down and Rickets decided to run for safety hoping to get in under the partial protection of Easthampton. Off the Amagansett bars, " however, the little boat struck. Rockets Sent Up Built more for speed and ‘long cruising than for strength, the Eagle boat was easy prey to the battéring seas and it was only a few moments after she struck that her commander réalized his danger and sent up rock- ets.. A coast guard sent in the alarm and-life savers from the Georgia sta- tion. near Amagansett launched their koat. They got close enough to the battered ship to toss a line, but be- cause of the pounding of the waves, dared not go alongside. With the line to which a pulley was attached, held by the lifesavers who returned to shore, Rickets launched a raft. Taking five men to a trip, the raft was pulled ashore 12 times, un- til all the ¢rew had been saved. Once a sailor was waghed overboard but he was rescude when he clutched the sunken pulley rope. The men also got some of their suppiies ashore by tying them to the raft. MARRIED 50 YEARS Mr. and Mrs. 1. H. Solomon, of Main Street, To Observe Happy Event on May 26. Mr. and Mrs. 1. H.

Admiral Knapp stated the reasons at some length, chief among these be- ing the cost to the government, which he did not believe the navy depart- ment would sanction. Would Cost $25,000. The admiral said it would cost $25,- 000 to dredge the Hartford out of the mud where she now lies. In con- clusion he said: “At the present time there ap- pears to me to be a small chance that the Hartford can be brought to Connecticut. If after a careful con- sideration of all that is involved, it is still regarded as something that is desirable at a more favorable time in the future, the matter should be taken up promptly in Washington preferably by the introduction of a bill in congress.” TERRORISTS RENEW AGTIVITIES TODAY Belfast Is Scene of Numer- ous Outhreaks and Fires Belfast, May 19, (By Associated Press).—Terrorists began their work | again early today. Two hours before | the expiration of the curfew period incendiary blazes were started in dif- ferent parts of the city and before 9 o'clock six buildings were on fire in- cluding the offices of a distillery. Soon after midnight a number of armed men attacked the barracks of the special constabulary in Dock street and a fierce conflict ensued in which several of the attackers -vere injured. It is reported that three motor cars were used to remove the wounded. None of the constables was injured. The staff at the offices of the whiskey distillery which was the Dor- an plant were forced to face the wall and were covered with revolvers while the other raiders carried out the work of destruction. After a time, however, the guard told the men to make themselves comfortable and handed around cigarettes. The premises involved cendiary attack included principally establishments conducted by whole- sale concerns. Two of the outbreaks were of considerable extent but in the majority of cases the firemen quick- ly extinguished the flames. In one case the incendiaries en- tered a motion picture theater, held up the charwoman and sprinkled the place with gasoline. The caretaker of | the establishment, on entering, was struck on the head by the butt of a revolver, but managed to escape and give the alarm. The total damage, it is estimated, will reach many thousands of pounds.

Genoa, May 19.—(By Associated Press.) — DP’remier Lloyd George of Great Britain, in his valedictory speech to the Genoa cconomic confer- cusce today, said the conference had gathered “fine crops,” namely the meeting to be held at The Hague, the non-aggression pact, and the re- ports of the finance, transport and economic commissions which he said alone justified the holding of the con- ference, These results must be incorporated into living practice, however, the pre- mier added, in order to aid in restor- ing Eurcpean vigor and prosperity. Mr. Lloyd George received great ap- plause when he arose to deliver his address. He was in fine form and good humor. Inspiring Landmark. “We are now at the end of the most remarkable conference ever held in the history of the world,” he said. “The Genoa conference will forever be an inspiring landmark in the path- way of peace.” He proposed resolutions of thanks to Premier Facta and Foreign Minis- ter Schanzer of Italy, and paid glow- ing tributes to the hospitality of the Italian people. “Genoa has given us a recepffon worthy of Genoa's renown,” he de- clared. Warns Russians. Mr. Lloyd George called attention to the bad effect the Russian memoran- dum had had on the world, and he warned the Russians that if they de- sired to win success at The Hague, it would be better for them not to enter eloquent presentations of the doctrine of repudiation of war debts. Such a course was unwise when one wanted to borrow more money, he remarked. Europe, said the premier, was anx- ious to help Russia, but Russia must accept the code of honor which Furope had as an inheritance from centuries of hard working, honest people. The British premier warned Russia thas Surope was gradually filling up the gap left by Russia's decline, but was sad o see millions of Russians in despair and starving. s When a man sells goods, declared Mr. Lloyd George, he expects the buyer to pay for them; when a man lends money he expects the borrower to repay, and when a man asks a sec- ond loan he must repay the first one He argued that “the Russian tornado had not uprooted these basic laws of the world's business and declared the Russians must accept them if they wished the world's co-operation. Responds For Russia. Foreign Minister Tchitcherin of | Russia, responding to Mr. Lloyd George's remarks regarding the Rus- sian memorandum and the appeal from the British premier to the Rus- sians to modify their economic views, said “Even Mr. Lloyd George's brilliant eloquence cannot convert the Russian people, who have other prejudices. For instance, if one's neighbor burns down one's house he should pay for the damage. The Russians, however, will continue their efforts for peace."

Genoa, May 19 (By A#sociated Press)—The Genoa economic con- ference one of the greatest political gatherings in Europe's history, which brought here the representatives of 34 nations adjourned at 1:15 o'clock this afternoon after six weeks of momentous deliberations with the understanding that its labors would bs begun anew at The Hague on June 15. The last session was called to order today by the chairman, Premier Facta of Italy. Bright sunshine greeted the dele- gates on their way to San Giorgio palace and lighted up the great medi« eval hall as they took their seats. Richard Washburn Child, American ambassador to Italy was present sit- ting with a number of other visitors among whom was the Archbishop of Genoa. # Report On World Labor M. Colrat of the French delegation presented the report of the economis commission of which he is chairman. The report emphasized the urgency of organized and co-ordinated efforts for the distribution of the world's labor so as to ameliorate the present industrial conditions. s many of the unemployed as pos- sible, it was stated, should bd diverted to agricultural pursuits and useful public works should be developed to provide employment for others. The report recommended that all the na- tions ratify the convention relating to unemployment adopted by the inter- national labor conference in Wash- ington. Resolutions were submitted bearing on tariff and other economic questions. U. §. Aid Needed. Dr. Walter Rathenau German for- eign minister discussing the economie commission's report declared i§ would be impossible to reconstruct Furope without the aid of the United States. He concluded with the statement that Germany had contributed to a rap« prochement with unhappy, suffering Russia, and that she hoped the work she had begun would be the basis for peace between the east and west. “Peace is what the world de« mands” he asserted. His address drew a storm of ap+ plause from delegates, newspapermen sia Complains, M. Tchitcherin, the Russia soviet foreign minister created some sur- prise in his address when he declared that the Russian delegation was dis- satisfied with the economic report be- cause it was not broad and compre- hensive enough in its political orienta- tion to be useful. He said the attitude toward labor was narrow and unsatis- factory. M. Tchitcherin urged the eight hour day as fundamental in all reconstruc- tion work He also objected to the failure of the report to consider co- operative societies. He said the Rus- not recognize the interna- tional labor bureau of the league of nations, and he deplored the absence in the report of any mention of pro- tection for workmen by legislation. M.
