THE SURRENDERED SHIPS

Who viii get the great war fleet
surrendered by Germany and Austria !?
II they are divided among the Al
lied powers, they will probably so to
Britain, France. America and Italy in
proportion 10 the respective shares Of
the sea burden they have borne. Such
an arrangement would naturally give
Great Britain the lions share" for
her navy has been incomparably the
biggest factor in subduing Germany.
The United States might come next,
because of the size of the fleet we sup
piled. though our length of service has
been far shorter than that Of the
French and Italian fleets.
Any division of these honorable
spoils OF war will be difficult. 1t may
be argued, too. that any division ac-
cording TO the principle above men
toned, while fair. would not be alto
gether logical, because Britain and the
United States are already so far SUI
perior to all other nations in naval
power that they do not need these
enemy warships to preserve their SUI
periority. Any division made of them
will doubtless cause discomfort in
some quarters.
Perhaps the least objectionaL
method would be to assign the various
enemy battleships. cruisers, destroy
ers, etc. to the various Allies in sub
stitution for the warships they have
lost, ship for ship. There would sure
ly be enough to go around
If no such disposition is made of
them. why not set aside all the sur
rendered warships to serve as the
nucleus of new, international police
navy, under the jurisdiction of the
prospective League of Nations?

NO CHANGE on HEART

The attitude OF the German people
toward their former and present gov
ernments il peculiar. and hard for
Americans TO understand.
Most OF us have taken Il for granted
that the Germans turned against
Kaiserism from conviction. We have
pictured them as entering joyfully
upon new era of freedom. as in earn
est about democracy and eager TO re-
pudiate the sins, follies and tyrannies
OF their past There is little real evil
dence OF that DR. Harold Williams,
former correspondent of the London
Daily Chronicle, writes from Switzer-
land:
1.-THE German revolution as seen
from here certainly demands suspen-
sion OF Judgment. There is no exui-
tation in liberty, no particular indig-
nation against the authors of national
misfortune, no recognition OF the
wrong done by Germany to the world.
not the faintest sign of national re-
pentance. The overthrow of the Ger
man monarchs is regarded with in
difference or scarcely concealed re-
greet, and there is no hint of any dis
closure regarding responsibility for
the war and no publication of secret
documents.
"The hostile attitude toward the al
lies is unchanged. or rather intensified
by the sense of humiliation caused by
the conditions of the armistice-for
which we are apparently considered
to blame instead of the German rulers
who tried to wreck civilization. The
persistence of the arrogant and ex-
elusive spirit under the new condi-
tions Is most remarkable As yet the
revolution has effected no change of
heart in Germany"
We shall have TO wait little longer
before making up our minds about the
Germans. Certainly we cannot re-
ceive them into full democratic fellow
ship until they repudiate autocracy
and all its works. from the heart as
well as the lips. and give some indica-
tion OF understanding what democracy
means.

THE Yo0p RULES STAND

The Food Administration has issued
this notice:
THE regulations are not annulled
by the armistice. Modification may be
made by the Food Administration from
time to time. but the specific regula-
tions limiting margins of profit and
preventing boarding have not been re-
moved, and there is no present inten-
ton of dropping these restrictions
which will be rigidly enforced"
This may clear up some misunder-
standings as to the powers of the Food
Administration and its rulings.
The signing of the armistice did not
ado one ounce to the worlds supply
OF food. 1t did add considerably to the
worlds power TO transport and dis
tribute equally the food in hand.
Australian warehouses. filled to over
flowing with wheat and other grains,
are now able to discharge their stocks
into ships which will not be destroyed
by mine or submarine Sugar and
spices from Java and other islands of
the east will come to our shores.
But in order that these supplies may
be taken care of in just and orderly
manner. in order that no one need go
hungry and the profiteer may be held
in leash, the Food Administration must
continue to rule our food affairs. Its
powers were in nowise diminished by
the signing of the armistice. With
the departure of Herbert Hoover for
an international session on food af-
fairs, the scope of its possibilities has
widened.
The Food Administration may have
made some mistakes. But it has kept
us well-fed when other nations were
hungry 1t has held our profiters
down to an extent undreamed of in
previous wars. And we need its assis-
lance more now than ever before. 1t
will be well to scrutinize carefully the
sources from which come adverse
criticisms of it. Most of its enemies
are the enemies OF the people.

ENSIGN SAVES SHIP,
IS MADE LIEUTENANT

For heroism under fire, when his
ship was attacked in mid-ocean by a
submarine, George F. Thompson, of
this city. has been promoted from en-
sign TO lieutenant. junior grade, in the
navy.
Lieu .enant Thompson was on the oil
tanker George C. Henry. manned by
a naval crew, on her home voyage
from French port During Thomp-
sons watch when he was in command
in the engine room a big submersihle
suddenly appeared and opened fire.
The first few shots crippled the gun
mounted forward on the tanker. The
exploding shells set fire to the vessel
as a gun crew with the af gun fred
round after round at the U-boat.
The gunfire and the roar of the ex-
ploding shells reached the engine
room. For a time it appeared as
though Lieutenant Thompson and his
crew would be trapped in he burning
vessel But a full pressure of steam
was vital Inspired by the Lieuten-
ants example, the stokers and assist
ant engineers remained at their posts
until the tanker eluded the submarine.
Then the crew. after hours of Cruel
ing work, conquered the flames and
the tanker reached port safely.

Capt Edwin Thompson. fought through
the Civil war, in the Sixty-ninth Penn

On the facade of the great Metz
