The ovor the navys conduct of the war was revived on June 26 with the publication of a letter from Rear Admiral Benton 0. Decker, commandant of the Seventh naval district, Florida, in which he charges that Secretary Daniels in his testimony before the senate investigating committee intentionally and deliberately misrepresented certain attacks of Rear Admirals Sims, Fullam and Fiske. The letter, dated June 17 aud addressed to Chairman Ilale of the committee, was published in the Army and Navy Register, a service magazine. Admirul Decker said he had also sent n copy of it to Secretary Daniels. Admiral Decker formerly was naval attache at Madrid, but was removed during the war. Secretary Daniels has stated that his removal followed representations from Ambassador Willard to the state department that he was encroaching on diplomatic functions in his activities there. The admiral declared in bis letter that from my personal knowledge of Mr. Daniels character, I am led to believe that whatever is cited in his statements to the discredit of the officers is so perverted and twisted as to HE airplane marks the give the actual facts a false meanbeginning of the end ing. of the "silent places."

Allies Unable to Pay. The United States will only be unofficially represented at that con. ference. While It Is not believed that actual repudiation of the entire total of $10,000,000,000 owed the United States is contemplated at present, it is learned from the highest sources that the Interallied economic commission now In session is devising a plan under which it is intended to urge the Brussels conference to inform the United States In the plainest possible language that the allies are unable to pay the American loan when it is due, in October, and to request the Washington government to renew the issue, probably for two years. By that time, It is hoped sufficient funds will have been collected from Germany by way of reparation Installments to settle the debt to America. Passive Resistanae Planned. Should the United States again refuse to listen to such a "proposal, it is understood the allies will adopt a policy of passive resistance, simply taking their own time in repaying whatever they owe America. In diplomatic circles the theory is advanced, however, that the United States will be obliged to accept the proposal because, they argue, it would not be practicable for America to enforce payment. I . started the work of restoring the tem- ple to something of Its former glory, which was continued by the Dutch authorities when they took bnck the island at the close of the Napoleonic wars. Due to tills restorative work, the temple can be seen today much as It was 1,300 years ago. Its position and the rather Indifferent service by train, pony cart, and later auto-buare the principal reasons why It is not being visited by more travelers. In addition to this, It has not been extensively advertised like the pyramids. All this now bids fair to be changed, for even in the Malay archipelago the land of rest, tomorrow" and backwardness things are noVySag ahead with leaps ' and bounds. The most startling 6t all Is the proj. ect of an airplane service to handle mall and passengers between different The unpoints In the archipelago. Is Dutch backed capitaldertaking by ists, the most conservative men in the world, so It may be taken for granted that It is thoroughly feasible or they would not have considered it. And with airplane service may come into its own. This world wonder, so long unheard of and neglected by the world at large, will be visited by thousands of globe trotters availing themselves of the airplane service. To tell fully of all the temples marvels and beauties would take a book. Of it Alfred Russell Wallace, the great scientist, said : The human labor and Is so skill expended on on the that that expended great great pyramid sinks into insignificance The following brief debeside it. scription will convey to the reader something q the magnificence and the grandeur of this huge hill temple: r One of the views shows artificial an Is as It today, mound, a series of galleries, cupolas and spires, surmounted by a vast central dome, 52 feet in diameter, which at one time, it is supposed, was crowned with a spire. Upon ascending the outer terrace of this hill temple, a plain is reached. This, however, Is not the original foundation. Excavation has disclosed two other terraces six and ten feet respectively below the level of this plain. The Buddhist builders apparently deemed it advisable in this way to strengthen their structure while In course of erection. Formerly a heavy stone parapet surrounded the existing plain. In the middle of each of the four sides of this parapet an opening, gave access to a flight of stairs, at the sides of which were heavy banisters. At the lower end of the stairs are huge laughing lions of stone, which still remain with their fixed laughter after 1,300 years. From the plain similar stairs lead up to the irregularly-shapegalleries and on to the great circular one surrounding the dome, the latter thus being reached without It being necessary to pass through the intervening ones. Each of these terraces Is about ten feet above the preceding one, with a width between the walls of about seven feet, and Is drained by gargoyles representing mythical monsters, through the mouths of which the water is led. At each angle is a Buddha seated Id s, Boro-Bud- Boro-Bud- Boro-Budu- many-side- 30-sld- d many-angle- d d ur Tt i Qsf t niche. It is surmounted by a cupola. The Buddha is seated upon a lotus leaf with a halo around its head. The figure is almost nude. As the viewer Passes around these galleries both sides are seen to consist of a series of sculptured pictures, surmounted with domes and pinnacles with Buddhas on all sides gazing at one with their inscrutable eyes. All the wonderfully artistic scenes are from the life of Buddha, depicting it from the time he left his lotus leaf throne to descend to earth, and his successive reincarnations until attaining Nirvana, the desired spiritual haven of Buddhism. These sculptures are in high relief centered in rectangular frames. Each relief is a scene from the history of Buddha, and the whole series forms a complete stiry of his life, from his .birth to his death. It is stated that if all the reliefs were placed in a straight line they would extend for three miles. It is estimated that there tnust be 20,000 carved figures In all. From the fourth gallery access to the upper level is gained by a stairs of 12 steps. This level has only an outer wall upon which is erected three circular terraces, one rising a few feet above the other. Upon this are 72 uniform remarkably stone dagabas or shrines, each culminating In a slender spire. Each of these beautiful shrines contains a statue of Buddha, each statue facing toward the central dome, which signifies that It is utterly detached from nil the temptations and cares of this wicked world. Such is a brief description of the main points of the worlds' greatest temple, and the finest example of ancient Indian art, which will soon be made accessible by airplane.
