by reason of the personal acquaint-

General Scott will leave Washington

at Naco at P. NJ. Saturday 1t is not
planned that General Scott shall relieve
or supersede General Bliss of the active

has been from time to time penetrat

as known the instances when Ger
man cruisers or battleships have
broken the British line and emerged
into the North Sea have been few and
far between. Dispatches from Ger
many for as much as a month past
have indicated in one way or another
that the Germans were making prep
arations at their sea base for naval
activity.
Very little detail of what was going
on has come out, nevertheless these
messages led to the belief that the
German ships might soon attempt
some maneuver.
The Kiel canal, running from the
North Sea to the Baltic, makes 1t pos

vessels as she may have used since
