The proposal came from Petrograd.

recommended that the crew Of the
Zeppelin, captured when the aIrship
fell into the water, be brought before

LONDON, Jan. 28.-EngIand's army
Of 2,oco, 600 "volunteers for defense"
frowned upon by Lord Kitchener for
many weeks and derided by "Tommy
Atkins" Is now clamorine for som.-
thing more than mere official recoeni-
ton. The volunteer army wants the
government to provide them with
arms and ammunition and permit their
officers to assume real titles.
The volunteers have had hard
row to hoe. When they first asked
Kitchener for official sanction Of their
training corps. they were bluntIy told
if they wanted to drill, the recruiting
offices were open.
Despite this, the organizers plugged
away. They bought their own uni
ornns Of grey-creen and some of their
own arnns and ammuniticn. They de-
voted their spare hours to long
marches, rife practice and drills. Grad
uaIIy they worked themselves into a
compact organization. The official
recognition grudgingIy granted by the
war office carries only slight solaee to
the volunteers. 1t would save them
from being shot down as franc
tireurs" in case Germany invaded
England, as they would be considered
organized soldiers.

LONDON, Jan. 28.-German STRAIT
egy has devised new use for sub
marines In naval warfare. For the
first time In sea fighting, submarine
flctilia covered the retreat OF an un-
successful raiding squadron in tho
North sea battle. The success Of tho
now plan saved three German dread
naughts from probable destruction.
This much was granted the Getl,
mans in admiralty circles today. Nav
officers did not attempt to concee.
their surprise over Vice Admiral
Beatty's official report that subma-
rines, not a mine field forced his
squadron to abandon the pursuit OF
the German battle cruisers seventy
miles off Heligo!and.
In the absence Of official reports, Il
had been assumed that the Germans
took refuge behind mine field when
the pursuit grew TOO hot for them.
Beatty's assertion that "the presence
Of the. enemy's submarines necessi-
tated the action being broken off"
puzzled the admiralty since It was
known that the fighting ceased at least
seventy miles off the coast.
Announcing Beattys report today,
cffciaIs saw a new light. The sub
marines were sent out on the trail OF
the German squadron when It left Hell
ieoIand and dashed toward the British
coast.
They were under orders TO form in
line behind the raiders to cover a pos
eibie retreat. Just such situation
developed. With tte Bluecher already
at the bottom, the battle cruisers Derf-
finger, seydIItz and Moltke escaped a
similar fate at the hands Of the Brit
tsh fleet by passing behind the line
formed by the submarines.
The admiralty today awaited furth-
er official reports before issuing an
absolute confirmation Of its report
that the small German cruiser kol-
bera. In addition to the Bluecher, was
eunk by Britieh cunfire. Berlin claims
that British battle cruiser and at
least one smaller vessel. were sunk by
the Germans. were ignored here.
