Dr. Harvey C. Hayes, physicist of [the naval engineering station at An- napolis, is the designer of the ap- paratus, and went on the Stewart to test it. He has cabled to the depart- ment that the experiment was a com- plete success and {s now on his way home to give a detailed report, The apparatus {s simple in epera- tion and measures the time it takes for a sound from a ship to reach the ¥oed of the ocean and return. Souna from an oscillator, installed in the aft | part of the ship, is projected against |the ocean bed and rebounds, being re- |celved by sensitive ears in the for- ward part of the ship. The elapsed time is automatically measured, The sound transmitter develops a high frequency vibration in a dia- |phraghm, which is in contact with the ;water. The high note carries many | miles, while the receiver also can de- tect signals from great di Said Mr. Roosevelt toda; “This invention is truly a remark- able one, It has taken a long time #(to chart ocean routes and survey the (ocean, to learn some of {ts depths. Many of its depths have never been determined. Even where known hydrographic charts, it has been necessary to heave |the lead. Vessels using this invention | will not have to use the lead. The de- vice automatically records the depth, in deep or shallow water, and does |it instantaneously. It will revolution- ize sailing and pavigation. It will |enable us easily to find the depth lof the ocean where it is now unde- termined. It is altogether probable, Hiofter ocean depths have been better | mapped, that the use of this device |will enable ships to determine their sea merely by sounding the ocean depths. “During the cruise of the Stewart the sounding appartus were carried Daily reports were made by radio to the navy department. Th‘ repnfts show that during the whole truise the apparatus worked without apparent error. 'The machine secured correct and rapid soundings with ease. “The Stewart made the cruise in nine days. During$hthat time over nine hundred soundings were taken at frequencies, varying between two §land 20 minutes. “The destroyer’s movements while steaming steadily at 15 knots were not interfered with except for a two hours interval. During this period it was shown that successful soundings can be taken at intervals of one min- ute in the deepest water. ‘“The outline of the bottom of the sea over the course was minutely re- corded between Josephine and Tys- burg bank. The sea hottom there was found to consist of an extensive plateau, bordered by mountain and tablelands, some of which rose 4,000 feet above the plaim. Several deep depressions, none of which gre shown on charts, were also discovered.

(By the Associated | Press) —Discussion of the advisabil- {1ty of including the clause of the Washington treaty on the use of poi- sonous gas in the plan submitted b Sir Robert Cecll for diarmament, an | a®nption of the Cecil plan as a whole, took up the session of the disarma- ment commission of the league of na- tions this morning. It was decided to postpone discus- | slon of the polsonous gas clause until | the smaller nations shall have been | | supplied with copies of the Washing- ton treaties. ! Discussion of the Cecil plan upon which the sub-committee has re- ported favorably caused a lively tilt | between T.eon Jouhaux the French representative and Sir Robert Cecil, Francieco Jose Urutia, representing | Colombia, made an appeal in favor of {the immediate inclusion of the Wash- ington poisonous gas clause, | | Jonhaux assailed the Cecil plan and the work of the commission saying | that the workers of the world have ;bun expecting much from the com. | mission but that it has accomplished nothing except to increase difficulties by talk about guarantees. The work {of disarmament he declared should proceed whether the various nations demand guaramtees or not { Jouhaux, Sfr Kobert said, has ad-| vised going ahead regardless of the| | guarantees demanded by the various governments concerned. “Is M. Jouhaux prepared to stand here before us now,” he queried, “and | assure us that his own chamber will approve a plan for disarmament with- out asking the utmost guarantees of | | protection 7 The commission will meet this afternoon when it is expected the | Cecil plan will be definitely adopted. |CEBERGS MENACE * NRTHERNWATERS | Change in Ships' Routes Are Not | Sanctioned by Burean | | r Washington, |situation in the North Atlantic con- |tinues to be such a menace to north- |ernmost steamship lanes that the |naval hydrographic office refuses to |sanction any change from the south.| erly transatlantic routes laid down| under the International Ice Patrol| agreement for use by passenger lin- | era.
