COUNT REVENTLOW TELLS
PLANS OF GERMAN FLEET
Warships Will Sally Forth When leu
tons Control Channel Coast of
Belgium and France.
BY CHARLES TOWER,

Amsterdam. Nov. 1S-What Germany
expects ultimately to achieve with her
fleet is laid down very clearly by CouR:
Reventlow in the following article pab-
lished under his signature in the Weekly
Journal Das Grosscre Deutschland, of
Berlin:
"Englands general conception Of the
war is based upon geographical condi-
tons, and especially upon the possibility
OF closing the North Sea These basic
ideas are reflected in the strategic dis
position OF the British navy, but II is
not difficult to guess that G-rmauy, rec
oGnizinG the unfavorable nature OF these
geographical conditions must make every
effort TO correct them. and thus alter
the basis Of English stratagic calcula-
tiOns in our favor
That will be the case when our armies
command the coast and harbors OF North
ern France and naturally their land con-
neCtions
And the moment that is the case the
English idea OF closing the North Sea will
collapse and die.
I'm the face Of such continuation Of our
coast line England could no longer main
tain her naval dispositions. Thus, when
France is once overthrown and We pos
sess the Belgian and French coasts we
can begin ou- real fight with England.
Until then our business is TO keep our
navy as far as possible intact, unless
some Unexpectedly favorable occasion oc-
ours for the employment Of the whole or
part OF it."

PAISH BACK IN CAPITAL.
Has Received No Reply on Plan to
Adjust Our Debt.

Sir George Paish. the British econo-
mist, who has had a series Of conferences
with the Federal Reserve Board, al
which the plan for adjusting our indebt-
edness to Great Britain was formulated.
returned to Washington from New YORK
last night. He was accompanied by his
colleague. Basil Blackett, of the British
treasury.
1t was said authoritatively that Sir
George has not received an answer to tho
proposals which he submitted to the
British government at the request Of the
Federal Reserve Board. No engaRement
has been made by him for another con-
ference with the board, and II is under
stood that no further conferences will be
held until the reply from London is re-
Ceived.
Officials do not interpret the apparent
delay of the British government in re-
plying to our proposals as Indicating an
unfavorable attitude on Its part. 1t is
understood that Sir George indorsed the
American proposals.
