London, Dec. 2S.-The British bat
tleship Hercules, bearing an Allied
commission, inspected German ma
val bases and airship and seaplane
stations, and has returned to its home
port.
A dramatic episode of the trip was
the passage of the Kiel canal, De-
cember 1S, accompanied by two Brit
ish destroyers. The Germans along
the bank had their first sight of the
British flag since 1914. The men
watched indifferently, but some of
the women and children waved their
hands. There was not the slightest
response from the ships. The Off
GERS said the found discipline aboard
the German ships very low.
