Bn United Prats NEW YORK, Feb. 25.—A floating airport, the first of several designed to give safety to trans-Atlantic flying and make possible establishment of a thirty-four hour passenger service to Europe, will be constructed as soon as possible and anchored half-way between New York and Bermuda.

JOBLESS ARMY WAITS RELIEF Petition to Be Presented Prime Minister. By United Press LONDON, Feb. 25.—Eight hundred unemployed Britons waited in London today hoping their long, cold march of thirty days would force realization of their plight on the British people and the government. Their leaders had ready a petition to preset to Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin* asking him and his conservative government to take measurees to alleviate conditions among the miners and other laborers who can not find work. They expected to remain here to learn the outcome of the petition and leave later in the week by train for their homes. Funds for their return have been provided by labor unions. The unemployed, looking well and strong after the month’s trek to London, ended the march with a demonstration on Trafalgar square Sunday during which they blamed the conservatives for their condition and urged defeat of the government in the forthcoming general elections.

Davis Upholds Army of Defense

Following Is the third ol the series of interviews with members of the retiring Coolioge cabinet. BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent. (Copyright 1929. by United Press) WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.—Criticism of our national defense on the score of militarism is an absurdity, in the opinion of Secretary of War Dwight Davis, who discussed the war department and its work today in an exclusive interview with the United Press. Davis will complete three years and five months’ sendee as secretary of war on March 4. About half the unofficial cabinet makers slate him for another four years in that office. Others believe Davis will be selected by President-Elect Hoover for a major European diplomatic post. The secretary would not comment on these speculations.

Popular misunderstanding of the national defense plans, Davis believes, has carried interested persons to attempt to utilize the Kellogg anti-war pact and other evidences of pacific world opinion in opposition to national defense measures. “Secretary Kellogg himself has said many times,” Davis continued, “that the treaty is not aimed against self-defense. It is obvious that our small army is not a menace to anybody. ‘People Don’t Want War’ “It is absurd to call it a manifestation of militarism. Militarism can not exist unless there is a menacing, striking power capable of being projected at the will of an individual or group of individuals. “The fundamental conception of our national defense' plan is contrary to this. The small regular army would be unable to invade any country, although it could act defensively. In an emergency the country would depend upon the national guard and the civilian population.” In Davis’ opinion it would be impossible to rally the people of the United States to an offensive war and it would be equally impossible to carry on such a war without obtaining civil support. Correct Housing Situation “I think,” he said, “the army never has been in better condition. This is largely due to improvements designed to better morale. We increased the daily ration allowance and we have changed the uniform. We are correcting the housing situation. “Some of the men were quartered in pig sties and they didn’t like it. Our reports shows that re-enlist-ments increased at various posts as soon as foundations were laid for new quarters. “These things largely were for benefit of enlisted men. The next important thing is to remedy the system of promotion among officers. When that is accomplished I will think my time here has not been in vain ”

REVOLT FLARES AGAMCHINA Rebel War Lord Besieges Shantung. By United Press SHANGHAI, China, Feb. 25. Gen.

PROBE POISON DEATHOFCO-ED Swallows Furniture Polish on Return From Date. Bu United Press STILLWATER, Okla., Feb. 25. Authorities at the Oklahoma A. and M. college here are investigating the death of Miss Pauline Pruitt, IS, Kappa Alpha Theta sorority pledge and candidate for the freshman class queenship. Miss Pruitt died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Kenall Hunt, from j effects of a poison potion she swallowed shortly after returning from a “date” with Claude Poole, football star, president of the college student governing body and head of the Stillwater chapter of the Sigma Nu fraternity. The father of the girl, Dr. Charles Pruitt of Comanche, arrived here last night. Miss Pruitt and Poole arrived at the Hunt home about 1 Sunday morning from a dance. Poole said that Miss Pruitt had complained of not feeling well and had gone into the house immediately. Mrs. Hunt heard the girl screaming and when she ran to her found she had swallowed a quantity of furniture polish. Administration of antidoates proved futile and the girl died at 9 Sunday morning.

TALK REMOVAL OF 2MURCHES Plan Discussion on Moving Edifices From Plaza. County commissioners today indicated that they will confer with officials oi the Second Presbyterian and First Baptist churches concerning removal of the structures from the county's block of the war memorial plaza site. The churches are located at the south end of the block bounded by Vermont, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Meridian streets, which was chosen by the county as its contribution toward the memorial. The Rev. Jean S. Milner, pastor of the Presbyterian church, declared the church is “ready to move whenever the proper public officials are ready to proceed with the acquisition of our church.” He said no offer has been made. Brodehurst Elsey and Jesse C Moore, trustees of the Baptist church, said although members oi the church were attached to the present building, there would be no effort to stand in the way of the memorial development and that the church would be moved. The church has purchased a site at Forty-sixth and Meridian streets. Commissioners said that a year ago when purchase of the church sites was contemplated, they did not believe it advisable to place the county in debt. They said the same situation is before them now. The county officials, who all iavor removal of the structures, said they will discuss the matter with church officials within a few weeks in an effort to work out a solution of the financial situation.
