An Amsterdam dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company says
that two battleships, the Kaiser and
the Schleswig- Holstein, were seized
by the mutineers and that twenty
officers, including two captains,
were killed.
1t is reported that the garrison at
Kiel refused to march to the harbor
and that the sailors threatened to
blow up the battleships if attacked.
They are defending the ships and
refuse to return to their duties un-
til treaty of peace is signed. Ad-
miral Souchon, governor of the port,
has approved all their demands, in
cluding even their refusal to salute
officers, it is said.

tions associated together in the war
against the Central empires to send
peace plenipotentiaries to it's capital.
France wishes the peace delegates to

practical convenience. Being central
ly situated, with excellent means Of
communication to all the capitals,
France feels that she ought to be
chosen as host. The Franco Prussiaa
peace was dictated at Versailles
Belgium nominates Brussels The
Belgian Minister, E. |. de Cartier De
Marchienne, made the following for
NAL statement to-day:
"The whole of the Belgian peops
greet the suggestion with hearty and
widespread approval as an act Of poetic
justice. Belgium having been the first
country to be invaded and destroyed
by the Germans. her suffering having
been greatest. her neutrality rudey
trampled upon. in spite of the mos:
solemn guarantees. and Brussels hsv-
ing been the first capital occupied by
them, to force the Germans to come to
Brussels for their punishment would
have retributive effect upon the Ger
man people, as well as q reparstive
and sentimental effect on the Belgian
population"

Local Dealers More Concerned About Deliveries

situation. 1t applies particularly to Washington right now
Automobile dealers are not worrying about the num-
Der of cars they will be able to sell this year. But they are
worrying about the number of cars that they will be able to
get for delivery.
Long ago the demand for automobiles all over the
country reached stage where dealers handling this and that
particular line limited to the number of cars which
they could obtain for their respective territories.
There have come to Washington within the last few
months thousands of residents. Among these thou
sands of newcomers there hundreds of prospective a

number in many lines, already allotted to Washington
