NAVAL crews FOR
TROOP TRANSPORTS
Clash of Authority Imposes New
Conditions in Service.

The Navy Department has announc-
cd officially that hereafter all troop
transports will be manned by naval
crews in place Of merchant sailors
The decision was reached several days
ago and promul gated yesterday. The
Shipping Board had previously an
nOuHced that because Of a shortage
Of merchant sailors IL had called upon
the Navy Department to man govern
ncnt boats and release the other sail
ors for the new vessels Of the Emer-
Eency Fleet Corporation.
The order supplies only TO ships
carrying troops and not 20 supply
transports. Another reason is that the
plan OF dual authority on shiDS-that
is, the merchant captain being in
command as for as the submarine
area and the commander Of the naval
gun crew then taking charCe-has
proved unsatisfactory. as frequent
clashes Of authority occurred which re-

Germans in their so-called strategic

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 11.-Interpre-

Philip scheidemann, German socialist

congressman and editor of the Mil

''There can be no doubt that the
German social democratic party open
ly and clearly wants peace,' said Ber-
ger. "Moreover, - it is also well known
that the Greman social-democratic par
ty is absolutely anti-monarchial and in
favor Of a republican form of govern

Navy Daniels hesitated about making
them public. He decided today, however,
that the public ought to know hat Ger
many is now pursuing a new policy of
grouping her U-boats and sending them
against groups of conveyed merchant
craft.
A remarkable thing about the West
wego fight was that apparently no lives
were lost. The battle is the most ser
ious U-boat incident of recent months.
The first evidence of massed submar-
inc attacks was that of the German en-
counter with the first fleet of American
transports sent to France. On that oc-
casion all of the ships came through
safely.
Destroyers Make Good.
Navy men regard the Westwego fight
as a brilliant piece of defense for the
U-boat's worst enemy-the destroyer.
The fact that two ships were lost does
not detract from the destroyers.' success,
especially in view of the fact that
thrice that number Of submarines were
apparently sacrificed.
The department IS eablegram left lit
tie doubt that the destroyers shells had
found their mark, for the navy is es-
pecially guarded about making any
claims whatever of U-boats sunk unless
the proof appears positive.
1t is assumed that the other vessels
with the Westwego were merchantmen
though the ctblegram was not specific
as to what vessels they were.

push characterization of Germany.
"However, there are the fOlbwing
facts to be taken into consideration:
Must be no Dictation
"The German people will stand for
no radical changes in the political
makeup of Germany while the war
lasts.
"Germany is sure to become a re-
public after the war. But the uerman
people themselves will have to accom-
plish the change from a monarchy to
a republic. They will not yield to any
outside dictation of their internal af-
fairs, any more than the American pco-
pie would yield.
"'The basis for a lasting peace can
be found in the president S answer to
the pope, if it be followed up in this
way:
"Let the governments that are at
war enter into negotiations at once
upon a peace which is to be endorsed
by a referendum of the people of all
the warning nations, including Ger
many, England and the United States.
That would be a better guarantee than
any treaty simply signed by the vari-
GUS Governments. &
Moreover, / also believe with
Scheidemann. that the best guarantee
is the fact that at least all the Euro
pean countries are so exhausted that
a new war is out of the question for at
least thirty years. Within that time
socialism and democracy will have
made such Roadway in every country
that the worlds civilization and the
world peace will rest on an entirely
new and different basis.'
