LONDON, Thursday, Nov. 2S.-Ad-

German fleet, which surrendered tc
the allies on November 81, has pro-
tested against the order of Admiral
Sir David Beatty of the British fleet.
directing that the German flag be
hauled down. He points out, accord

;aterDr.ent in a British harbor is u1>

trary 70 international custom to order
the striking Of the flag on the Ger
man ships. Moreover, in nay opinion
the order to strike the flag was not in
keeping with the idea of chivalry be-
tween two honorable opponents"
Admiral Beatty, calling attention to
the fact that the armistice merely sus-
pended hostilities and that a state Of
war still existed between Germany
and the allies, has replied:
Under the circumstances no enemy
vessel can be permitted TO fly its ma
1ional ensign in British ports while
under custody"

The paper adds that the argument
that he can not be punished because

"By that argument" The Times
continues, "a felon caught in the act
would escape punishment because
there are other felons who have not

Besides, it is not proposed to pun

The argument against doing what
VIC can to bring this arch criminal 10
