Head of French Commission

Deputv's Criticism

PARIS, Nov. 2l.-Following an attack
upon the Ministry of Marine by Dep
uty Bergeon, who criticised the requi-
sitioning of merchant vessels, Captain
Andre Tardieu, head Of the General
Commission for Franco American War
Matters, answered for the government.
He said:
eve are charged with having COM
menced construction of wooden ships.
We need the tonnage. accept neither
the charge that the French government
is careless nor the charge Of egotism
on the part of the United States. We
are behind 100000 tons of shipping
promised by America.
"M. Bcrgeon criticises US for not
having signatures to the agreement
with America. will answer him.
There is no need for signatures in or
der to secure the execution Of Amer
ica's promise, since America has sent
an army Of 100000 men to France"
Great applause greeted this remark.

ten destroyers to o column.
SIX miles separated the Allied COL
nmns, and squarely between them the
Cardiff brought her charges, all steam
ing at the stipulated speed of ten
knots. AS ordered, their guns were
n regular fore-and- aft positions and
as far as powerful glasses could de-
termlne there was no sign to provoke
susr:cion. Until all the major ships
had been swallowed up in the envelop-
ing Allied columns the latter never tor
{. moment relaxed their alert watch.
Over the Germans circled a British
Glrig!ble, which acted as eyes for the
Allied ships, which, although the fog
had lifted. were still too distant for
accu: ate observation.
by noon the last Wisp of fog had
dispersed and q splendid view of the
vast array of warcraft could be OBJ
ta.ned. Holding steadily to its course,
the great feet reached May Island at
2 o'clock. The captive Germans were
El!oted to the anchorages assigned and
British ships from the southern col
umn closed in as guards. The north
ern column steamed on to the regular
anchorages higher up the Firth. @
Admiral Beatty's historic signal at
ter the German fleet had been moored
at the appointed place was:
"The German flag is to be hauled
down at 1857 and is not to be hoisted
again without permission.
King George on the New York
King Georges visit to the American
flagship New York yesterday was a
notable occasion throughout British
destroyers were streaming out of the
harbor to take up advanced position
to act as a screen for the Grand Fleet
to-day and the portentousness of their
mission gave note of solemnity to
the gala scene on the New York. As
soon as, the royal party stepped aboard
the royal ensign was hoisted to the
masthead.
King George was touched by the
sight Of his standard swapping in the
breeze above the Stars and Stripes,
and expressed his appreciation. King
George, the Prince of Wales. Admiral
Beatty and other members of the Wis
iting party were received by Admirals
Rodman and Sims. The party then
went below to the admiral's cabin,
where it visited for half an hour. The
King appeared TO have fine time.

Doubts Kaiser Has Quit

Doubts Kaiser Has Quit
LONDON, Nov. % (By The Associ-
ated Press) THE Daily Mail" attri-
butes to "a high official Of the British
government" the statement that 'Will-
lam Hohenzollern is still German
Emperor and King of Prussia so far
as the British government is informed
and apparently is awaiting for some
thing to turn up"
"The Berlin government" the official
added, according to "The Daily Mail"
"has not made any communication to
the Allies or the United States notify
ing us of his abdication. We think it
almost certain that if the abdication
occurred notification would have been
sent, at least to the United States.
"No abdication document bearing the
Kaiser's signature is in existence as
far as the outside world knows-noth-
ing but the perfunctory statement Of
Prince Macmillan in which he used
the words 'Thron verzicht,' meaning
remuneration of the throne, and not the
word 'Abdankung,' meaning abdica ton.
"Wilhelm, therefore, undoubtedly still
regards the throne as his, and the
world must contemplate the probable
ity that he expects to return.
No Effort to Extradite
"While Holland cannot doubt that
the Allies do not relish her affording
him asylum, there has not been as
yet any joint effort of the associated
governments to extradite him"
William Hohenzollern is spending
most Of his time in bed in his retreat
at Amerongen Castle because of the
illness with which he was suddenly
stricken recently, according to the
Amsterdam CORES spondent of "The
Daily Express" Two officers take
turns in reading novels and newspapers
to the former Emperor.
He attended service in the chapel Of
the castle the day previous to the be-
ginning Of the attack, which WAS in

Feeling in London
Against Feeding
Germans Growing
Apprehension Exists as to
Hoover's Present Food
Mission Abroad
Tribune London Bureau

Copyright. 1913. New York Tribune Inc)
LONDON, Nov. 22-Herbert G..
Hoover, United States Food Admins
traitor, is expected to arrive Saturday
morning and probably will go straight
to Paris to confer with Colonel House.
Some apprehension exists, perhaps
based on imperfect information, con-
corning Hoover's visit in official quar-
ters. There is feeling that America
may now be inclined to play lone
hand in the food situation OF the world,
and the deep conviction here is
that the only possible preventive Of a
breakdown in food supplies in the
near future is the closest cooperation
between the United States and the
Inter-Allied Food Council
On the one hand the Presidents
statement placing the feeding Of Bel
GUM and Germany on practically the
same basis provoked strong criticism
here, while on the other hand there is
a feeling growing hourly against
feeding the Germans at all. This feel
ing is enhanced both by the news of
the British casualties and the treat
ment of prisoners.
1t is fully realized that although
Britain commands shipping, America
controls finance, yet nevertheless it is
hoped that the United States will agree
to throw in her lot entirely with the
inter-Allied food policy, dropping all
thought of. isolated action, and pool
everything to feed the Allies and the
-neutrals.
These considerations will be urged
on Hoover when the food council meets
in London next week,

The proclamation appeals for united
action in the struggle against Bolshe-
vism, and continues:
"Thc all-Russian government has

the burden of the cross, I declared
will not follow the road of reaction or
the road of a party struggle which

Mackensen which, although scheduled
for surrender. Thursday, we're per-
mitted to be absent, are being dis
armed under the supervision of Vice
Admiral Browning, of the British navy,
who was sent to Germany for that pur-
pose, according to the correspondent
of "The Daily Mail" with the British
fleet. The Konig has been in dock and
could not be moved, while the Macken-
sen had not been completed.
Some naval men, "The Daily Mail"
adds, reject the idea that the surren-
dered German ships Will ever be re-
turned TO Germany. They believe they
will be divided among the Allies, in
