NEWPORT NEWS. Va.. March J 8.
The German . converted cruiser j
Prinz Eitel Friedricb was still at Its!
berth at midnight tonight and there
was nothing to Indicate unusual i
activity aboard the vessel. Guards
patrolled the dock and One. ship's
deck as usual. It was reported, how-
ever, that Invitations to a dlnn-'
aboard the Eitel which had beC
sued 'for tomorrow were recalled,
night without explanation.
WASHINGTON, March 29. Tha
battleship Alabama of the reserve
fleet, wa ordered to Hampton Roads
last night on "neutrality duty," ac
cording to an announcement from the '
Navy department. The battleship is
at the Philadelphia yard. ' '
Secretary paniels said it-was in
tended to place one large vessel on
guard to support the submarines and
destroyers, which have been ou duty
since the German commerce destroyer
Prlni Eitel Krledrich reached New
port News.
Heavy ships had been employed in
neutrality duty at Boston and New
York, the secretary said, and It was
thought best to la similar precau
tions at Hampton' Roads, as the
smaller vessels would be handicapped!
in the event of heavy weather.
' Flastablp of Helm.
The Alabama Is tin flhgship of Rear
Admiral James M. Helm, commander-in-chief
of the Atlantic reserve fleet. Sec
retary Daniels said Admiral Helm would
decide for himself whether or not to ac
company his ship.
Navy officials said the Alabama prob
ably would 'not Be- able o get away un
til sometime tomorrow (Sunday), as It
would be necessary not only to round up
the members of Its crew, who had been
given shore liberty, but also to take on
u. W h.'pkneCK," C0V " w.""

Hampton Roads before Monday morning.

There were unconfirmed' re posts here
tonight that Captain Thlerlchens . of the
Prlns Eite had made inquiry- of. the
Washington government aa to what, pre
tection he might .eapect within- the three
mite tltrrtt- Shosld he decide t attempt
to run the gauntlet of enemy warships
said to be awaitier him.
Captain Thlerlchens is said! te have
taken the poelUcn that bis vessel was en
titled to protection from any molestation
while wlt.iln the territorial waters . of
the Vnitvd States, and In this view It is
understood government officials concur.
No officials who could be reached to
night, however, would discuss the matter,
and the only official explanation of the
Alabama's errand that could be .obtained
was that given by Secretary Daniels.
' Will B Interned.
The Prlns Eitel Frledrlch will be In;
terned at Newport News by order of the
Washington government within a few
days, according to opinions expressed here
tonight In official quarters. . No one in
authority, however, would ajss the
slilp's status.
There s little doubt that a time ilmlt
for the ttlal-lng of repairs to the Eitel
had been set by tha government and that
the limit is close to exhaustion. .When
the period irranted ahall expire, Com
mander Thlerlchens or the.&tel will be
formally notified that he must either put
to sea within twenty-four hours or his
ship and crew will be mterned for the

LONDON, March 28. Under the
caption, "The French Army as It Is."
the French review of the war deals
exhaustively with the condition of
the army after six months of war, the
higher command, the supply. of offi
cers and noncommissioned officers
and of munitions of war of all kinds,
and transport and auxiliary services.
The compiler of the report, begin
ning his review on February 1, states
that the condition of the French army
Is excellent and appreciably superior
to what it was at the beginning of the
war from the three points of view of
numbers, quality and equipment.
Ysancer Men In l'tntel.
' In tho higher command the Important
changes have been made.. It has. In fact,
been rejuvenated by ' the promotion of
young commander of superb quality to
high rank. All the old generals, who at
the beginning of August were at the
head of the large commands, have been
gradual?- "Ilminated, some aa the rosutt
of the', leal strain ef the war and
others by appointment to other com
mands. T' l rejuvenation to higher ranks of
tli' ' tiny has been carried out In a far
rui i.iik manner und It mcy be said thnt
It has embraced all the grades of mili
tary hierarchy, from commanders of bri
gades to commanders ef ermlear The ra
sult has been to lower the average age
of general officers by ten years. Toduy
more than three-fourths of the officers
commanding armies and army corps are
less than 60 years of age. Some are con
siderably younger. A number of army
corps commanders are from 46 to 61 years
of age, and the brigade commanders are
usually under 60. There ere, In fact, at
the front extremely few general officers
over 0 and those are nu n who are .In lull
possession of their physical and Intel
lectual powers. . , .
Hratetu of Promotion.
This. rejuvenation of the high command
was facilitated by a number of circum
stances, notable among which were the
strengthening lot the higher regimental
ranks arrlfd out during he tluce years
preceding the war.' as a , feeuUtM whlh
at the outset of the eampalgn each In
fantry regiment had two Meutennnt colo
nels and each cavalry and artillery regi
ment a colonel and a lieutenant colonel,
and also .the system of promotion for tho
duration of the war.
Thanks above all to the warlike quali
ties of the race, and the democratic spirit
of our army," we have been able to draw
upon the . lower grades" and even upon
the rank and file for officers. Many men
who began the war on August 21 aa pri
vates now wear the officers' epaulettes.
The elasticity of our regiments regarding
promotions in war time, the absence of
spirit of caste and the friendly welcome
extended by all officers to thoee of their
military Inferiors who hse shown under
fire their fitness to command have en
abled us to. meet all requirements.
The state of Infantry on January 16 was
very satisfactory and much superior to
that of the general Infantry.
KsreBtlofiallr Brilliant.
On an average each ef our regiments
has forty-eight officers. Including eight
een regular officers, eighteen reserve of
ficers and fifteen noncommissioned offi
cers. In each regiment six of the twelve
companies are commanded by captains
who are regular officers, three by cap
tains of tha reserve and three by lieu
tenants, each company has at least
three officers. In summing up the state
of the army as regards the commands,
from tho highest to the lowest ranks, a
declared to be exceptionally brilliant.
The army Is led by young, well-trained
and daring chiefs and the lower com
missioned ranks have acquired the art of
war by experience. Finally a tribute i"
paid to the work of the staffs of the
armies and of the army corps which
weru formed three years ago and have
thrown themselves Into their work In en
tire agreement both of views and
methods.

SECOND CHAIN ON OCEAN BED
HONOLUHT, March 18. Despair
supplanted hope today in the search
for the missing United - States sub
marine F-4, when two divers dis
covered that chains from tha dredger '
California, which bad been . fouled
with something on the floor i of the
ocean outside Honolulu harbor since
Friday afternoon, were not attached
to the lost craft.
All the resources at the command
of naval officers here had been cm-
! ployed for two days and nights in an'
effort to raise what was supposed to
be- the F-4, bit which developed to
be only an old anchor from tha bat
tleship Oregon. 1
As It became apparent early today that ,
the attempt ' to get Into water not too
j deep for divers to work was not meeting
wun rap a suacess, n mrsw we vtti
to the naval base at Pearl Harbor, and
a gigantic naval crane waa prepared to
Bo to the scene.

Meanwhile a diver named Agras, elad "
only n a jersey suit, slightly reinforced,
and a dlvr's -1 -Mmet. deroended In an
herole atte npt to reach the lower end of
JIG feet of chain. For twenty-two min
utes he was going down. Then there was
a brief, anxious wait, and Agras signaled
to be pulled up. In nine and a half min
utes from the signal ha wan at the. sur
face again, ahowlng no III effects of the
unusual performance, said by naval offi
cers to be a world's record for deep sea
diving.
Agras' reported that the chain was
fouled with an old anchor, lost from the
battleship Oregon sometime ago. He had
seen no trace of the' F-4.
The relief workers who had tolled with
eut sleep, and almost without pausing
to eat, since Thursday were visibly down
cast by tha news.

, Another chain was attached tn some
thing ninety fset below the surface. A
diver named Rvana at ones descended
along fhlsChaln- to hivestrlate.- He re
turned soon with the statement' that It
was merely caught on the bed of the
ocean. '
Lieutenant Charles "El Pmlth, sntti
mnndnr of tha submarine division sta
tioned here, who has been in constant
personal charge of the search since the
F-4 disappeared, gave orders to retumo
dragging the bottom of the sea.
' The positive statement was made here
today by Naval Constructor Julius A.
Fu re r that the four submarines of the
Hawalln division were examined as to
their stability only a month ago. He said
that alt were found In good condition.
The water Is so deep at the point where
the F-4 Is said to have disappeared that
nvy officers asserted today without diving
apparatus whlcji woutd permit nun to
go down 300 feet, the task of locating the
craft and lifting it, If It la fcund, will
present great mechanical difficulties.
Greeks Deny that
They Must- Fight
ATHENS, March 28.-An official com
munication on the foreign poilcy of
lireece was Issued today. It aays:

portance to the calm and transqulllty
of public opinion regarding the proper'
treatment of foreign affairs, considers
it an absolute necessity to deny state,
ments to the effect thnt If Greece does
not abandon Its attitude of neutrality, it
will lose the opportunity of realising
Jits national aspirations.
"Tho divergence of views between the
government and Its predecessor arose
from opinions regarding the gravity or
the dangers threatening the Integrity of
the country. The government la doing
everything In Its power to avoid possibU
