GERMANS SINK LAST OF FLEET -Twelve Warships and Other Craft Sent to Bottom Sunday Following Big Coup at Scapa Ffow Saturday. By Associated Press. Weimar, Sunday, June 22—The German warships which were not surrendered to the allies and which have been anchored off Kiel, Wilhelmshaven and other points, have been sunk by Ger man sailors manning them, ac cording to a report received here from reliable authority. According to the reports there were 12 German war vessels, be * sides destroyers, which were in German waters, not having been turned over to the entente under the armistice provisions. BERLIN EXULTANT. By United Press. Berlin, June 24—Discussing the sink ing of the German warships in Scapa Flow, the Zeitung Am Mittag exulted today that “Kngland shall not have them.” The Tageblatt expressed belief that thesinking will meet witn approval and Admiration from the allies, rather than anger. “It is to be regretted," the Tageblatt said, “if for he sake of a fine gesture Germany should be confronted with higher financial obligations. The offw cers and men responsible should be for given. They acted in the spirit in which they were bornand brought up.” I U 111 V uO I IUM I E. uuur. By United Press. London, June 24.—Admiralty offi cials today considered measures to in vestigate and fix responsibility for the stroke by which the interned German fleet at Scapa Flow was wiped out. A commission probably will be ap pointed to hear testimony and decide who is to blame for the fact that the skeleton German crews remaining on the interned warships were able to open the sea cocks and sink the sur rendered fleet. Admiralty officials maintained that looseness of the armistice terms, under which German crews remained on the vessels, made the coup possible. /, So far as the public is concerned, In many places the remark was heard: "Well, that’s what we wanted done with them, wasn’t it?” The impression seemed to prevail that the’ Germans had saved the allies some trouble. Will Not Salvage. "It was considered that the erstwhile high seas fleet” will be allowed to re main at the bottom of Scapa Flow, as cost of salvaging would be great. According to the Daily Mail, a copy of the German admiral’s detailed or ders for sinking the fleet has been found. A dispatch to ^.the Mail from Scapa Flow quoted Von Reuter as declaring the ships were sunk because the kai . ser, at the beginning of the war, or dered that no German vessels be al lowed to {all into the enemy’s hands. Von Reuter understood, he said, that the armistice ended Saturday, so he proceeded to carry out the order. It was noted that Von Reuter visited Berlin a few weeks ago under pretext of illness. May Try Admiral. Admiral Von Reuter may be tried by an international court, together with U-boat commanders and other war criminals, it was learned today. The British admiralty is forwarding a. full report of the sinking to the naval armistice commisssion in Paris, by v/hom the next steps will be directed. Two Warships Afloat. Of the German vessels interned in Scapa Flow, the dreadnought Baden and the cruiser Emden remained afloat today; the Frankfort and the N'urem burg may possibly be salvaged. Two destroyers were still on the surface ana _u ocner aesiroyers were Deacnea. The other vessels of the once proud German high seas fleet were beneath the waves, sunk by their own German crews to keep them from becoming the property of the allies. Fourteen hundred of the German sailors have been landed. A few were killed and six were wounded in clashes with the British guards. Some may have drowned. The main force of the British fleet was absent fro mScapa Flow, its north _ base, when the Germans essayed their coup. A few drifters and small craft were on hand and there were some aircraft guarding the captured warships. Describes Sinking. An eye witness gave this description of the sinkings: “Saturday forenoon was quiet. The sun shown beautifully. At noon it was reported that one German battlesh p Was sinking. Almost simultaneously all the ships hoisted the German en sign, showing the red flag at their fore masts. The crews immediately began leaving the ships. "By the behavior of the sinking ships it was evident the seacocks had ben opened. Soon all began to settle. ‘The Moltke, Seydlitz, Derf! nger. /Von der Tann went down together within an hour of the first sinking. “It was a topsy turvy scene, ships’ sterns sticking up. some almost en gulfed, here and there a destroyer tak ing a sudden dive. When the German sailors rushed to their boat3 at the be ginning of the sinking many were overcrowded and the seamen jumped into the water. Ail wore life belts. British guard-ships opened fire on some of the boats, resulting in some of their occupants jumping into the water. Destroyers picked them up. “German officers who werfe rescued and brought aboard British ships, proudly saluted, clicking their heels as they met their rescued colleagues.

Tb.« neighbor sat on the porch with a group of women and they over heard the remark. "What did you say. Jimmy?” they called to the child. He repeated it. Gossip got busy and Jimmy's mother suddenly found herself shunned by the neighborhood. Many of the women from whom she had borrowed an egg or a cup of sugar turned their heads when she passed on the street. She was at a loss to explain this cold ness until she went to one neighbor and nsked what the trouble was. Ou her return home she called Jimmy to her. “Son. did you tell anybody that your father and I were not married?” “Yes, ma'am,” lie answered. “You are not, are you?” “Of corn- ■* we are.” “Well, how did I know?

'"THE responsibility attached to the preparing of a remedy for infants and children * is undoubtedly greater than that imposed upon the manufacturer of remedies for adults whose system is sufficiently strong to counteract, for a time at least, any injurious drug. It is well to observe that Castoria is prepared today, as it has been for the past 40 years, under the personal supervision of Mr. Chas. H. Fletcher. What have makers of imitations and substitutes at stake? What are their responsibilities? To whom are they answerable? They spring up today, scatter their nefarious wares broadcast, and disappear tomorrow. * Could each mother see the painstaking care with which the prescription for Fletcher’s Castoria is prepared: could they read the innumerable testimonials from grateful mothers, they would never listen to the subtle pleadings and false arguments of those who would offer an imitation of, or substitute, for, the tried and true Fletcher’s Castoria. Children Cry For A Word About Truth. “Great is Truth, and mighty above aU things.” So says the Old Testament, yet it is equally true to-day.
