London, Friday, Dec 27.-(British
Wireless Service bearing an al
lied commission which inspected Ger
man naval bases and airships and
seaplane stations under terms Of the
armistice, the British battleship
Hercules has returned to her home
port. ls
A dramatic episode wac the pass
age of the KieI canal on December
Is. Accompanied by the British de-
stroyers Verdun, and Viceroy the
Hercules gave. the Germans along
the banks of the canal their first
sight Of the British flag since 1914.
Germans who watched the ships were
for the most part indiferently
curious, but not infrequently wom-
en- and, children waved their hands.
Discipline on board the German
warships is low according to Of
ficers of the Hercules. They found
sailors lounging about and the ships
in bad conditions as "a result OF neg
lect. This was in direct violation of
the terms of the armistice and the
inspecting officer notified the Ger
mans that the ships must be cleared
of sailors and il his orders were not
obeyed he woRld return to the Her.

structed in his work. Fearful of
probable consequences the German
seamen left their ships at once. Il.
Inspection of airpIane and sea-.
plane stations required considerable
land travel, which permitted the
members Of the commission to gain
information as the conditions of the
people IN the interior of the coun-
try. 1t is repnrted that every one en-
countered in Germany, even in sucn
an industrial center as Hamburg,
seemed as well clothed and fed as are
the people of France and England.

on are doing well, and the land is
well cultivated and fertiliZed.
The commission met interminable
objections, distractions and evasions
by the Germans.
Admiral Goette OF the German
navy seems to be the only senior
German officer still attending to his
duties. Admiral Won Scheer and Ad-
mfral Won Ripper apparently have
disappeared into the same obscurity
which hides General Ludendorff an
other former leaders who have
sought safety in retirement"
Discipline at airship and seaplane
stations was better than on the Ger
man warships, it is reported. The
Norderny seapIane station is said TO
compare most faYorably with any
station of its kind in France and
England while the great Nordholz
Zeppelin depot is declared to be the
finest in the world. 1t was from here
that virtually all German raiders
bound for England started. One in
teresting sight was the famous IL
IA" Zeppelin shed, which was sue
cessfully bombed by airplanes last
summer. At that time two sheds
and two Zeppelins were destroyed.
At Warnemunde, experimental stat
ion the allied committee met with OBJ
striction. 1t was only under protest
that the members Were permitted to
enter, the Germans fearing revela-
tions Of what they had accomplish
ed. @
The submarine command under
Lieut.. Bower, pushed it's investiga-
tfons at Hamburg, Bremen and 9TH
er points with the result that scores
of U-boats nearly all near compile
ton and hitherto undecIared by the
Germans were found and reported.
Admiral Goette protested against
giving up these submarines but fin-
ally consented.

pressed the belief today that Stepher
Pichon, the French foreign minister
was Yoicing his own opinion and not

mediate intervention in Russia by the
allied governments.
The Russian situation has been the
subject Of earnest discussion by rep
resentatives of Paris of the associat-
ed nations, but SO far as is known
here none of the governments has put
forward any definite plans. The un-
derstanding here is that the whole
subject will be left to the peace con-
ference.
1t was reiterated today that the al
lied powers have no desire to inter
fere with the internal affairs of Rus
sia and that il any aggressive action
is determined upon the object will be
solely to curb a menace to the peace
Of the world.

to Withstand the attacks OF the I5tsl-
sheyiki. Some OF the ESoishevik forces
in this section were said TO be well
supplied with machine guns, tanks
and armored cars.
Riga, Reval and Limbach were re-
ported as crowded with refugees from
the surrounding country and officials
of the British naval forces in the Bal
tic have suggested that the aged. the
children and the sick be moved to
the Island of OseI in the Gulf Of Riga
where it was said, 100000 refugees
could be cared for.
Adyices reaching the state depart
ment today from Bueharest said the
main force of the Bolshevik army in
Russia consisted of 100000 Russian
soldiers, forced to join the Bolshevik
because Of fear Of starvation, former
Austro- Hungarian prisoners of war
so 900 men from the Balkan provinces
and 10000 Chinese workmen.

Mr.. Sansburn,, who was recent

from the charge alive, losing his right

the part the men from Tower City
played in that memorable battle. All
have since been listed as casualties.
II was less than 800 yards from
Stine when he fell, and saw the
stretcher bearers carry him from the
field" Mr.. Sansburn said. "Shrapnel

fell he laughed, and declared, Guess
they got me. He died with a smile
on his lips.
Marine Losses Heavy.
/ Anyone who wasn't in that battle
will never understand the great work
that the Marines accomplished at
Chateau Thierry. Our losses were
5000 OF the 5000 men engaged. but
we held back the Germans and kept
them from coming through the
breach they had created when they
forced the French to retire.
''We were constantly under a muir
derous shrapneI and machine gun
fire. Personally didn't see, or don't
remember q great deal about the bat

very much~of the battle; he is too oc-
