begin the eastward journey yesterday
morning. Hc promised to start some
time in the afternoon, but no indica-

night that he had got under way.
Mail Sent on by Train
The mail that Smith started out with

across the field and scared away toward
the west, followed by cheers from the
chilly spectators.
The whine of its motor had scarcely
died away when it came again to the
ears of those on the field, and mo-
ment later Smith swooped down and
alighted, saying that his engine was
too hot and he would have to have an
other plane

AS Fleet Sails
Greatest Naval Victory i'm
History Made Possible
by Americans, He Asserts

LONDON, Dec. 19. - The American
oattleshlp squadron attached to the
6ritlsh Grand Fleet displayed spirit
o1 true comradeship throughout it's
period OF service, declared Admiral Sir
DaVld Beatty, the commander in chief
OF the Grand Fleet, in a farewell ad-
dress on board the U. S. S. New York
on December /, the day the squadron
was detached from the Grand Fleet
All hands had been called to mustar
on the forecastle to hear Admiral
Beatty.
After thanking the American officers
and men for their cooperation Sir
DAVID remarked that both the British
and the Americans were disappointed
al not having been able to meet the
German fleet He declared that the day
tne German fleet surrendered was "a
pltlful day to see" Sir David said he
mad always had misgivings that the
Icrnans would never come ont for
hnlsh tight, and these misgivings had
peer strengthened by the cominp of
the American squadron.
Il could not let the Sixth Battle
,Hquadron go without coming on board
.he New York and saying something of
what | feel at this moment Of your
departure" said Sir David.
Il had intended to ask Admiral Rod
man to permit me to say something to
tne u. representatives of all the ships of
ohe Sixth Battle Squadron on board his
fagshlp, but the axigencies Of the SER
wee nave not permitted it, Therefore.
as Admiral Rodman has said. what /
say to you | hope you will promulgate
70 your comrades in the other ships
ana also to your comrades Of the At
lantic fleet.
The support you have shown is that
OF true comradeship, and in time of
stress that is worth very great deal
As somebody said the other day: 'The
HghtlAg now IS over and the talking
now is going to Begin Therefore T do
not want to keep vou here any longer
put want to congratulate you for
haVlhg been present upon a day unsur-
passed IN the naval annals of the world
During the last twelve months you
nave been with us we have learned to
know each other well. We have learned
TO respect each other. I want YOU to
take back a message to the Atlantic
Fleet that you have left a warm place
III the hearts of the Grand Fleet which
cannot be filled until you come back or
send another squadron to represent
you. You have given us sample of
me Atlantic Fleet which, I think, the
atlantic Fleet, efficient as it is. will
find it hard to reproduce.
II understand that you are now 60
ing to Portland, where you are to get
leave, There is duty to perform in
bringing your President to these wat
crs and then Won will ya+ur, +o ,,o,,
own shores. And I hope that in the
sunshine which, Admiral Rodman tells
me, ways shines there, you will not
forget your Comrades Of the Mist and
your pleasant associations of the North
Sea.
II thank you again and again for tho
great part the Sixth Battle Squadron
hes played in bringing about the great

to the effects Of an open md formal
participation by America in the war
on the side of the Allies. If you have
the time to spare, have this mem
orandum sent you, but can we'll be-
lieve that you are too greatly occu-
pied with your own duties to occupy
yourself with such matters as these"
A letter dated May 80, 1917, from
Ewald Hecker, mentioned in connection
with Won Papcn, gives the views of
the Germans as they left Americas
"A few days ago l landed here

conduct of the enemy government,
and do myself the honor of sending
you personally my greetings. and
just as hearty ones from Adj. Paven-
stadt and Carl Heynen.

"At the same time wanted to
ask you If you could not do with an
intelligence officer or something
similar in your division, though l

THAT would be pity after four
teen years on active list with the
18th Dragons and two years at the
staff college; perhaps you can give
me bit of good advice You will
be interested to know that shortly
before my departure at the begin
ming of May, Franz Rintelen arrived
in New York in strict custody and in
chains, and, together with his
'Labor's Peace Society," Buchanan,
etc, was tried.

"As matter of fact, only the

terfered with. To the universal de-
light, only couple Of secret and i'm
portant (?) were arrested-namely.
Hertling, Gentheim, etc Later on
they We're interned on Ellis Island
because of their lodges"
To-morrow's session is likely to be
one of the most sensational Of the
hearings. Alfred L. Becker. Deputv A.
torney General of New York. will be on
the stand, and his testimony will bring
out new facts in regard to the financial
arrangements of the German agents.

committee until after the first of tho
year. His hearing was postponed to
allow time for the preparation of the
evidence.
