Washington, June 12. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has passed a resolution asserting, its right to see the con- fidential papers which were ex- changed between the British and American Governments In the pre- liminary stages of the Naval nego- tlations.:

Consequently a further delay for a careful study of the hull pressures 00 R100 before she makes her Atlantic flight would seem to be worth while.

These pressures were the sub- ject of model tests at the National Physical Laboratory before the airships were built; but it is clear that there must be some discre- pancies between the model and full scale results to account for the defects that have appeared,

POLICE LAUNCH THEFTS.
