PARIS, June 25. (By the Associated
Press.) France has decided to require
complete reparation from Germany for
the sinking of the German warships
at Scapa Flow. This announcement
was made by the minister of marine
to the naval committee of the chamber
of deputies yesterday.-' It was declared
that the act of the Germans violated
both the armistice and the peace treaty.
v iscount Gustave Lie Kerguezec, mem
ber of the naval committee of the
chamber of deputies, told the budget
committee of - the chamber Monday
that he had warned the French min
istry of marine previously that the
German fleet interned in Scapa Flow
was not being watched with sufficient
care.
The budget committee decided to ask
Premier Clemenceau for further infor
mation on the 'Subject of the sinking
of the ships, and the- steps the French
government proposed to take to have
the loss made good..
Some criticism is directed at the
British admiralty, the Journal saying:
"No article in the armistice forbade
the maintenance of British guards
aboard the German ships. .
It is likely that the whole subject
ill come up for discussion In par
liament, '
The council of three has referred the
question relative to the sinking of the
German fleet in Scapa Flow to a com
mission of experts, which will deter
mine whether the armistice conditions
were violated.

PARIS. .The final chapter can now
be added to the story of Lieutenant
Frank Luke, Jr., the young Arizonia
flier, who after a meteoric career
among foremost American aviators,
vanished from sight over the German
lines in the first days of the Argonne
drive. His grave has been found In
the cemetery of the village of Murvaux,
east of DiMi-sur-Meuse, says the Stars
and Stripes.
From the stories of the villagers can
be tpieced together a narrative which
shows that he fought to the last mo
ment and, as always, fought alone and
fought hard.
Lieutenant T.uke Mcnrerl nlM first rtf-
ficial victory on September 12, the first
day of the St. Mihiel drive. He was
killed 17 days later . after bringing
down his 18 Boche. The observers
said of him that he seemed possessed
of a strange notion that he must tie
Fonck's record In one season.
There was no holding Luke In check.'
He picked fights against heavy odds,
flew alone when he was under orders
not to, flew when he was supposed to
be safe in camp, and, toward the end,
went to strange fields for gas and am
munition lest he be held at his own
airdrome. Indeed on that last day
there were orders out to sentence him
to a month of ground work as soon
as he showed up.
mat was September 29. Late that
afternoon an observer reported that a
Spar had dropped a message reading,
"look for burning balloons." It was
signed "Luke." At 5:05 o'clock two
Docne balloons were seen to fall
names, beven-nninutes later a third
blazed and fell. Luke was not seen
again.
On October 18. a teles-ram from tho
international Ked Cross reported him
as 'killed in action." Late In December
an American officer, returning from a
prison camp in Germany, reported that
n Aiurvaux and the countryside round
aoout mere was a legend of a youns
rican flier who, just before sun
n on' tne iourth dav of the Croat
battle, wrought great destruction
among the German balloons and then
mortally wounded, came to earth. It
is added that gun in hand, he stood off
the enemy until he fell dead in the
riein. He was buried, they said, in the
vuiage churchyard.
"From that legend, as enlarged and
corrected by the affidavits of 15 French
men. womne and children, the Luke
identification has been ; made. They

finances have enervated and enslaved
it. Political persecution should Durere
and strengthen It. Political persecution
of Irishmen in Ireland developed able
and courageous soldiers to beat down
British tyranny in America. ,
One of the most striking features
of the world war, one of its most
extraordinary aspects was this: That
despite the traditional hatred of men
of Irish blood for the British empire
that despite the fact that the United
States sacrificed its holiest, traditions
and saved the empire from which we
wrung our liberty no Irishman In
America lifted the hand of violence or
disored against the United States.
lf George Washington or Thomas
Jefferson had gone to Paris, the Irish
question would have been placed before
the peace conference."
Among prominent - Irishmen present
on the platform were: John C. Moore,
who presided; Lian Mellowes, member
of the Sinn Fein parliament;. Peter
Golden, sec etary of the Irish league;
Dr. Patrick J. McCarton, the Rev. John
Dooley and Mgr. John" Powers;

he regarded as the certain future of

The process of reasoning that Holland
applied a craft to go beneath the sea

Is obviously a matter of equipment plus
climbing ability of aircraft designed for
the purpose.

moisture and varying temperature is
the fundamental of storms, their great

wholly confined to the storm limit.
Wind state is a varying temperature.
Over the hottest regions of Africa zero

In the course of bis addresses Mr.

That trial was a glorious undertaking,
our navy's expedience was wise and all

LANSING ; STIRS COHALAN
Justin Asserts Britanic Fear of Irish
Question Influenced Secretary,
NEW YORK. England's- fear to
bring the Irish question before th
peace conference, because of the injus
tice of her occupation of Ireland, led
to Secretary Lansing's refusal of
hearing to delegates of the Irish Re
public. This charge was made by Jus
tice Daniel F. Cohalan. He said:
The action of Mr. Lansing with ref
erence to the Irish delegates is typica
of the conditions which prevail in Paris.
The influence of England on the work
ing of the peace conference is over
shadowing. Not alone has the form
of the league of nationa as proposed
by her statesmen been adopted, but
practically every question that has
come up for consideration has been
settled in a way that will contribute
most to the strengthening at least tern
porarily, of the British empire.-
"The case of Ireland Is to be denied
a hearing to Its representatives, be
cause Messrs. Walsh, Dunee and Ryan,
when they went to Ireland, talked
about Irish independence. I wonder
whether Mr. Lansing thought these
gentlemen went to Ireland to view the
scenery, or to praise the rule of Dublin
Castle.
"The truth is that Lloyd George the
artful dodger of British oolitic:
frightened by the storm raised by the
Tories of England, sought some way to
refuse a hearing to the Irish delegates.
"England fears to bring the question
before the peace conference because
she knows, as the Irish contend, that
her rule in Ireland is founded only upon
mignt ana naxea xorce. if she had
good case, she would not hesitate to
submit to a court dominated by herself
and made up of Japan, France, Italy,
cieigium, Portugal and others, even
though the greVt liberty loving coun
try ot America were a member of it.'

Lest we forget, if General Wood's
warning had been heeded, the cost of
the war to America in dollars and cents
would Wave been very much less than
it was and we would not have been
forced to depend upon England to
clothe our troops and France to supply
them with cannon ammunition.
