By L. C. Martin
Washington, June 7.-MU. P.)Diffi
culty in getting witnesses may inter
fere with the "treaty leak" investiga
tion ordered by , the senate.
Unless Senators Borah and Jxdge,
upon whose statements the Inquiry is
based, will tall the investigating com
mittee the names of New York men
who can . substantiate their charges,
the investigators will have .to turn
to the American peace delegation in
Paris for a clue, it was hinted today.
xdge already has announced he will
not tell wTlo showed him copies of the
treaty text In New York. Borah has
not told what financial interests he
meant when he said he had been in
formed over the long distance telephone
that certain New York interests had
the treaty and had considered it at a
directors' meeting.
Acting Secretary of State Polk today
cabled President Wilson 1 the senate
resolution calling on the state depart
ment for delivery of the peace treaty.
Officials believed here President Wil
son cannot release the treaty without
the consent of the French and British
leaders. Both the French chamber of
deputies and the British house of com
mons, it is stated, are as anxious to
get the treaty as the American senate
is. That Lloyd George or Clemenceftu
will consent to ; publication 'of, the
treaty is' doubted.'

(Coiqrricht, 1910. ht the Tnlted Prna)
London, June 7. Commander J.
H. Towers skipper of the NC-3 and
"admiral' of the fleet of three Amer
ican seaplanes which attempted" a
transatlantic flight, today predicted
that a- permanent bridge ? of boats
would connect- America and feurope
within five years. These-boats, he
said, would serve as an aid both to
aerial and aquatic navigation.
"A chain' of light ships, each a float
ing meteorological station, will Within
five years mark. the air routes to Eu
rope," Towers declared.
"These craft should be maintained in
ternationally, perhaps by the League
of Nations. , The expense would be
heavy, but not prohibitive. Subsequent
outlay would .not .compare -with the ben
efits derived. ,
"I. would suggest a lightship every 300
miles. They could keep in touch with
aerial craft," steamers and sailing ves
sels by wireless. Supply ships could
provision them periodically. . The first,
chain probably 'Would be established by
way of the Azores, which is the easiest
air route, hut 'I believe another from
New Foundland to Ireland weuld be
practicable. They would place transat
lantic flying on a substantial basis.
"Meteorology is the most important
phase of flying across the Atlantic. The
NC-3 failed through lack of this. We
unexpectedly encountered storms in an
area in which clear weather had been
predicted. Each of the lightships could
be manned by a small crew and a radio
operator. The " meteorologist need ' not
be extremely expert. The ships could
also assist surface craft in distress."
