Three Allies Tell League Peace Clause Is Invalid I By the Associated Press. GENEVA. Sept. 14.—Britain, France and Australia, in separate notes to the League of Nations, said yesterday the special clause in the World Court statute which calls for compulsory arbitration in any con flict, which they signed with 35 other nations, no longer was valid so far as their war with Germany was con cerned. The British note said: “All present machinery to main tain peace has broken up. “The conditions under which the Briish government agreed to sign the optional articles of the World Court's statute no longer exist.” The French and Australian notes were similar. League officials considered the direct language of the notes meant that Britain. France and Australia, while planning to keep the League in existence for post-war reorgan ization. had abandoned any idea ot ! trying to use League machinery to ! help them in the war. PORTSMOUTH, N. H.—HISTORY MAKING SALVAGE JOB COMPLETED—Listing badly and her nose out of water, the Navy’s big submarine, Squalus, is shown at wharf here today after she was raised from sea bottom and towed in last night. The $4,000,000 craft went down 114 days ago, carrying 26 men to their deaths. Bodies were to be removed today and the sub then put in drydock. —A. P. Wirephoto. Squalus Is Being Cleared of Water For Drydock Probe Bodies of 26 Victims Of Disaster May Be Removed Today ny the* Associated Press. PORTSMOUTH. N. H Sept 14 — A powerful navy yard fire engine pumped water from the after-sec tion of the salvaged submarine Squalus today while officials pressed preparations for removal of her 26 dead, possibly before sundown. Meanwhile, salvage workers ac companied by Harold C. Preble, civilian naval architect, who w-as one of the 33 rescued after the Squalus sank May 23, surveyed the dry forward compartments of the battered, rusted craft as she lay at a wharf. Initial efforts failed to open the after-battery compartment door, which was slammed against the in rushing water as the Squalus sank, saving the lives of a majority of her crew. Meanwhile, the Naval Board of Inquiry, which adjourned its in vestigation into the sinking in 240 feet of water. 15 miles off shore, made plans to reconvene tomorrow. Salvage workers brought their job to a successful conclusion last night by hauling the Squalus eight miles to a Portsmouth Navy Yard wharf. The craft could not be drydocked. The final day of salvage operations at sea began encouragingly yesterday as the Squalus came up smoothly. Then, however, the dejected salvage workers saw the stern sink and were forced to lower the craft to its bed 90 feet below the surface and begin anew. Jubilantly, a few hours later, the workers watched the Squalus rise again and then began the home ward tow. It was the fifth lifting operation and the third tow since the vessel first went down in 240 feet, 15 miles off Portsmouth. Two previous lifts failed. All-Star Cast Chosen For ’Mikado' Next Week An all-star cast of principals will head the company which will pre sent Gilbert and Sullivans "Mi kado” at the Potomac Water Gate next Tuesday and Wednesday eve nings for the benefit of Children s Hospital. Included in the cast will be Ruth Altman, Detmar Poppen and John Cherry. Miss Altman began her career as "Marguerite” in the New York Light Opera Co. production of "Faust.” She also sang the lead in the "Grand Duchess” and was feaFured in "The Magic Flute. Her most recent success was a tour of the United States as prlma donna in "The Great Waltz.” Both Mr. Poppen and Mr. Cherry are widely known in the light opera field, specializing in Gilbert and Sullivan operas. Each will sing a leading role in "The Mikado.” Because of the work being done at Children’s Hospital and because its receipts from the Community Chest are inadequate to take care of the cases of children receiving free treatment, the promoters de cided to name the institution as beneficiary of the performances. President's Peace View Shared by Woodring By tpt Associated Press. BALTIMORE, Sept. 14 —Secretary of War Woodring, pleading for “tol erance” and "national unity,” said yesterday he shared President Roose velt’s hope there would be “no black out of peace in the United States.” Mr. Woodring told the Baltimore Advertising Club in a luncheon ad dress that the President's orders in creasing the strength of the coun try's armed forces had “but one single object in view.” This object, he said, was “the as surance of freedom of action by the United States In the preservation of neutrality in the event that the con flict now raging across the seas is extended to spheres which might prove of vital concern in the se curity of the United States.” Man's Release Ordered RATON.
