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.”

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.

With Way Burleson Order
Is Being Carried
Out.
By Associated Press.
Springfield, 111., June 24.— An "un
reasonable interpretation has been
placed upon the Burleson order and it
may be necessary to call a nation wide
strike of electrical workers before the
telephone companies will acceed to our
demands,” said Secertary Charles P.
Ford, of the International Brotherhood
Electrical Workers in a statement
given out here today. Mr. Ford said
that the telephone companies in many
sections of the country had failed to
follow out the provisions of the Burle
son order which granted the men the
right to organize.
“An impossible construction has been
made on the Burleson order,” said Mr.
Ford. “Vice President Noonan of the
electrical workers will confer with
post office department officials in
Washington tomorrow in order that we
may have a ruling on the order. A
conference will be held today in San
Francisco, with company officials and
upon those two conferences will de

Federation Executive Council
Directed to Work For Shorl
Week For Labor Generally—
Wiremen’s Strike Approved.
By Associated Press.
Atlantic City, N. J., June 24.—In
dorsement of the Commercial Telegra
pher’s strike was unanimously voted
today by the American Federation of
Labor. The convention also went on
record in favor of a 44-nour week for
labor generally and directed the exec
utive council to work for that end.
A resolution adopted on the subject
of the wire strike directed the appoint
ment by President Gompers of a com-'
mittee to go to Washington to confer
with Postmaster General Burleson and
ask that concession on collective bar
gaining recently granted telephone and(
electrical workers, be extended to ln-!
elude employes of the telegraph com
panies under government control. Such
extension, it was declared, would re-1
suit in the ending of the strike.
Reject “Wet" Plea.
The convention turned down a reso
lution introduced by delegates from
Seattle, which would have put the
American Federation of Labor on rec
ord as being in favor of prohibition.
A memorial was adopted urging la
bor unions to meet with an encourage
former soldiers, sailors and marines to
“protect themselves against exploita
tions by unpatriotic employers.”
Slap at Radicals.
The convention also adopted a reso
lution changing the federation consti
tution so as to permit disciplinary,
action against unions which show radi-,
cal tendencies. The executive council,
may revoke the charter of any central
union or body of delegates which calls
a strike or attempts to take a strike]
vote which would, if successful, causej
a walkout of affiliated bodies. James;
Duncan, of Seattle, said it made no dif
ference whether this change was
wrought in the constitution or not, add
ing that if a central body wanted to
take action it would do so regardless of
constitutions and rules. This sentiment
was indorced by “Curley” Grow, of Los
Angeles.
Another resolution denounced “de
plorable conditions” in the railway mall
service and askexl that congress pass
laws providing for a standard day for
railway mail clerks.

DIDN’T KNOW IT PERSONALLY
Therefore Jimmy Jumped at Conclu
sion That Caused Much Trouble
in the Neighborhood.
“My mamma and papa aren’t mar
ried," said a little fellow talking to a
group of children -in n neighbor’s gar
den. 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? You didn’t
have a wedding. I didn't see it.”
"A Wife's Revenge."
The wife was having a small bridge
party at the house for a company of
women and one of the guests failed
to appear, leaving a vacant plnce at
one of the tables, so she called up her
husband at the office and nsked
whether he would not come home early
and “fill out.”
“But why can’t you play with a
dummy?” he asked, evidently having
no relish for the game.
“Why, the girls have invited you,”
was the wifely response.
Old-Fashioned Stuff.
“He’s old-fashioned.”
“So?’’
"Yes. Refuses to ask for a raise In
pay on the theory that If his work
warrants an Increase his employers
will recognize the fact and hand it
out to him.”

she asked. “You have marked a mark

every day?”
William was positive In his asser

across the aisle was not. “Why, I bet

Care and Responsibility.
'"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. Truth shows no favors,
fears no enemies. ©
From the inception of Fletcher’s Castoria, Truth has been tha
watchword, and to the conscientious adherence to this motto in the
preparation of Fletcher’s Castoria as weU as in its advertising is due
the secret of its popular demand.
All imitations, all substitutes, all just-as-good preparations lack
the element of Truth, lack the righteousness of being, lack aU sem
blance even in the words of those who would deceive. 1
And youl Mothers, mothers with the fate of the World in your
hands, can you be deceived? Certainly not. * •>
Fletcher’s Castoria is prepared for Infants and Children. It is
distinctly a remedy for the little-ones. The BABY’S need for a med
icine to take the place of Castor Oil, Paregoric and Soothing Syrups
was the sole thought that led to its discovery. Never try to correct
BABY’S troubles with a medicine that you would use for yourself.
