kiel, Germany, via Berlin. The Hague and London, Nov. 29.-A pair of grey submarines lie alongside the dock where the American Sonderklasse yachts were moored during their last visit to Kiel. The warships anchor ed in the Fiord wear war paint and have their torpedo nets rigged. A Red Cross flag flies from the imperial yacht club.
 The skylights in the shipyard build ings have been blackened to prevent lights from within being seen by hos tile aviators and for a similar reason placardS in hato' >~~---c ~~~- ~

 These precautions have been taken against any possible attack on the all-important KieI canal by air or by land. Otherwise the Kiel of these days of warfare appears little different from the Kiel of ordinary times. In the harbor steamers and tugs with long tows go about their customary work and in town although there naturally is more activity. the people seem to be pursuing their ordinary course of life.
