The claim was made that this was not the first incursion made by Bo- Jivians, despite the asurances given by the Bolivian minister ‘Wants Arbitration The note presented a formal pro- | test on the recent incident and re- quested that Bolivia once and for all, adopt measures against the repeti- tion of such occurrences. The note concluded by saying that Paraguay ‘always was disposed to leave the so- ‘lution of the dispute to lawful arbi- tration, Despatches from Asuncion, said ‘the the Paraguayan public recelved quietly the information that diplo- matic relations had been broken. A meeting of the cabinet was held to discuss the situation and leaders of the political parties also met.

The absence of that country was noted in a resolution in- troduced by the Mexican delegation expressing regret and a hope that in accordance with Argentina's past traditions in relation to arbitration, she might be able later to lend her support to the work of the confer- ence. Before adjourning the brief open- ing session the conference completed its organization, Chairman Kellogg announcing that two general com- mittees, one on arbitration and one on concillation, would be constituted. He called upon all delegations to name thelr own committee members, The concillation eommittee will meet tomorrow morning and the arbitration committee tomorrow evening to organize.

The grounding of the great ship took place in miserable weather conditions, a cold rain and biting wind adding to the discomfort of the removal of the passengers through the harbor to the Cobh docks. (A press association dispatch from Liverpool said it was under- stood 27 survivors of the Vestris disaster were aboard the Celtic when it ran ashore.) ‘White Star officials this afternoon said the Celtic was in no immediate danger. There was a heavy ground swell and a light southeasterly wind | blowing. Rounding Southeastern Island in ia gale, the Celtic made for Cork Harbor and Cobh, her first port isince she touched at Boston after | leaving New York on the first of the month. The pilot could not be taken aboard because of weather condl- tions and the liner made for the harbor entrance which requires the utmost skill to navigate even under normal conditions particularly for & 21,000-ton ship like the Celtic. Instead of clearing the entrance. the liner moved at a deadly slow speed, thus probably averting disas- ter, and rammed a ledge known as {Cow and Calf Rocks almost directly under the famous Roches Point lighthouse. Nearly High Tide The Celtic grounded when it was still nearly high tide. Her wireless immediately told of her plight and < tugs were rushing to her aid. Ten- ders which were awaiting inside the harbor to take off mails and pas- sengers proceeded to rescue all of the passengers who were lined up on the decks and went over the side with their hand luggage to the little craft rising and falling in the rough watet. Only a few miles farther and the Celtic in her usual way would have cast anchor in the calm harbor and met the tenders which come out from the docks to meet the big ships from America. Left High As the tide receded, the Celtic was left high, helpless and almost dry in only 15 feet of water 300 yards from Roches Point and from the lighthouse which shoots a fixed beam from an elevation 60 feet above water with a visibility of 13 miles in crdinary weather. Roches Point is a life saving sta- tion and apparatus with a party of litesavers in charge was ready for any emergency. Only about 60 passengers were to have landed at Cobh and a majority of the remainder were still in bed when awakened by the crash of the Celtic's grounding. Everything Orderly Most of the passengers were Brit- ish subjects returning home from the United States but there were a number of Americans aboard. C. W. Wilson of Toronto, was almost thrown out of his berth by the force of the impact. There was no panic, clared. *“The waves were dashing wildly at times and a furious wind iwas accompanied by a heavy rain.” | The tiner ran ashore at 5:40 a. {m. about high tide almost directly {under the lighthouse. The veasel re-’ {mained upright and steady. The weather was good. Michael Johnston, the lighthouse keeper, sald it was his personal opinion that if the weather became bad, the Celtic likely would be a total wreck. “Only the fact that the Celtic was going dead slow averted a terrible disaster,” Johnaton said. “How she got on the rocks is a myatery.” Rad Storm The lighthouse keeper said there was a bad storm last night but the 19, weather was moderating. “] am atraid the vessel is badly damaged,” he continued. “Unless she can be lightened greatly, it will {be impossible to get her off. Talking over the telcphone to the Associated Press, Johnston, the light- house keeper, gave a graphic des- cription of the disaster. “It was a melancholy sight to see |the great liner hard and fast on the rocks, as it she were held by a hun- dred anchors,” declared Johnaton who knows every inch of the rugged coatline. “She is entirely on the rocks ly- ing on a flat spur 300 yards from Rocher Point. Her head is due west and she is so firmly wedged there is hardly a trace of motion of her hull. —ETHEL— e O Tur Conte Heavy Were b Ba Lea “ncourae (uch 0.

All the passenger were ordered to the decks and lifebelts were dis- tributed. Twenty-cigt boats were prepared, but not lowered, Like many more, Wilson was only partly dressed when he came ashore. Arthur Packson of Trenton, N. J., en route to Liverpool, was on deck to get his first glimpse of a pilot board- ing a big liner at sea. Instead he was almost thrown off his feet in the blinding rain and wind as the Cel- tic crashed.
