U=ROAT SURRENDER
TO BRITISH FLEET.

When the ships had cleared the
mine field and entered the wa
channel the 'paravenes We're
hauled aboard. On reaching 4
point some twenty miles off Har-
wich the ships dropped anchor
and Captain Addison came out on
the warship Maidstone.
British crews were put on
board the submarines to take
them into harbor. With the eX-
ceptlon Of the engine staffs, al
the German sailors remained Oh
deck. The submarines were tax
Ell through the gates Of the har-
Dor and the German crews were
transferred to the transports
which will take them back to Gre
many.
AS the boats went through the
gates the white ensign was run up
on each Of them with the German
flag underneath.
Each German submarine com
mander at the transfer was re
CURED to sign a declaration to the
effect that his vessel was In ruiz
ming order, that its periscope was
intact, that it's torpedoes were uil-
loaded and that its torpedo heads
were safe.
Orders had been issued for
bidding any demonstration and
these Instructions We're obeyed To
the letter. There was complete
silence as the submarines sur
rendered and as the crews were
transferred.

London, Nov. 2O.-TWenty Ger
man submarines were surrendered
to Rear Admiral Reginald W..
Tyrwhitt, thirty miles off Har-
wich this morning at sunrise, ac-
cording to press association dis
patch. These are the first T.
boats to be turned over to the Al
lies by Germany. Twenty more
submarines will be surrendered on
Thursday and twenty On Friday.
The remainder of the U-boats to
be handed over in accordance
with the armistice terms will he
/ given up later.
The following account of the
surrender of the first batch is
given by an eyewitness of the
scene.
After steaming some twenty
miles across the North sea, the
Harwich forces, which consisted
of five light cruisers and twenty
destroyers, were sighted. The
flagship of Admiral Tyrwhitt, the
commander, was the Curacao.
High above squadron, flying a
large flag, hung an observation
balloon.
The squadron, headed by the
flagship, then steamed toward
the Dutch coast followed by the
Coventry, Dragon, Danal and
Centaur. Other ships followed
in line. The picture was noble
one as the great vessels, with the
moon still shining, ploughed their
way to take part in the surrender
of the German U-boats.
' Minefeld Entered.
Soon after the British squad
| ron started the "paravenes' were
dropped overheard. These de-
vices are shaped like tops and dl-
vert any mines which may be en-
countered, for the vessels were en-
tering a minefeld. Almost every
one on board donned a life-belt
and just as the red sun appeared
above the horizon the first German
submarine appeared in sight.
Soon after 7 O'Clock twenty
submarines were seen in line. ac-
companied by two German des-
troyers. the Tibania and the
Sierra Ventana, which were to
take the submarine crews back to
Germany after the transfer. All
the submarines were on the sur
fcae with their matches open and
their crews standing ON deck.
The vessels were flying no flags
whatever and their guns were
trained fore and aft in accord
ance with the terms of the sur
render.
A bugle sounded on the Gu
racao and all the gun crews took
up their stations, ready for any
possible treachery.
The leading destroyer, in re-
sponse to a signal from the ad-
miral, turned and led the way to-
wards England and the subma-
rines were ordered to follow.
The surrender had been accomp-
lished.
Each cruiser turned and keep [
ing a careful lookout, steamed {
toward Harwich. On the decks
Of one of the largest Of the sub
marines. which carried two 90 l
guns, twenty-three officers and G
men were counted. The vessel s
was estimated to be nearly 300 {
feet in length. Its number had t
been painted out. 8
Aircraft on Duty. T
Near the ship was light shin.
Three large British seaplanes, t
followed by an airship.' were oh |
served. The Harwich forces and d
the seaplanes and airship made
most impressive sight. C
One of the submarines was seen +
to send up a couple of carrier y
pigeons and at once signal was r
dashed from the admiral that II n
lad no right TO do this.

ana. The meeting will be hell
in New Orleans on Saturday,
November %. Franklin X. For,
of New. Jersey. one Of Mr.. HooT-
er's principal aides, will repre-
sent him on the occasion. Mr..
Hoover having gone to Europe -
survey the size and nature Of the
food requisition for world 5 sa.-
vation. Reverend M. A. Grace,
S. j. of st. Landry, the on.y
priest in this country who is Il
Food executive, will deliver the
invocation. The future course
will be mapped out, and the broad
campaign of education in the ncW
policy will Immediately begiI.
The first feature will be Conser-
vation Week, which will conse-
crate the nation to the task and
the duty ahead. Referring to this
united endeavor and its import
Mr.. Parker said:
ITO bring before the American
people in forcible manner the
need for saving food and sharing
it with the Allies and liberated
nations, the Food Administration
has named December IT as Con-
servation Week. Conservation is
vital to the relief Of stricken Eu-
rope. Our harvest season has
come and gone and whatever food
is exported must come from our
surplus and from our savings,
very largely the latter. Certain
foods such as meats. fats and
dairy products, it is true, are pro
duced throughout the year but
even those depend largely on
feeds and fodder, supplies of
which are limited and cannot 6e
replenished until another harvest.
"The original pledge made by
the Food Administration in behalf
of the people of the United States
was II 1-2 million tons of food to
be shipped overseas by July J.. |
1919. This amount Of food is 80
per cent greater than last year.
With Belgium and France lib
Grated and millions in south cen
trail Europe clamoring for food.
the United States is now under
taking to increase its exports
from II 1-2 to 20 million tons.
The Mediterranean Sea routes are
now sufficiently safe for bringing
wheat from India and Australia.
hence our exports will consist
largely Of fats, meats and feed.
Feed is essential for milk produc-
ion Of which the stricken nations
re in critical need.
Conservation week as planned
will include a message from Mr..
Hoover to the people through
'hurches. fraternal bodies, clubs,
schools, posters, window displays
md the press. An effort will be
made to warn of the serious re
'ults if we fail to heed the re-
quests for continued conservation.
Food we are reminded is the only
Elective weapon with which to
ombat famine still threatening
hungry millions. And never has
here been so great an opportun
ty for women and children as well
S men to show their true spirit
f democracy in sending relief by
laily acts Of food saving.
Conservation week is intended
lso to impress upon every one
hat stopping hostilities or even
he ultimate signing Of peace
erms produces no extra food ard
hat human lives will continue to
e sacrificed unless food is saved
4 this country and properly dis
ributed among those who have
little or none"

TnE ASsOCIATEp PRESs.

The great American news-gather-
ing and distributing organization
known as the Associated Press was
che product OF many minds, but the
credit for the origination OF the idea
is usually given to Moses Yale Beach,
who was born in waIlingford. Conn,
1T years ago. Beach started life as
a cabinet maker. early invented a
rag-cutting machine. and for seven
years was a paper manufacturer. In
1886 he bought the New York sun,
then a new and struggling penny
paper. from its founder. Benjamin H.
Day. As publisher Of the sun. Beach
suggested that all papers in New York
pool their news and sell It to out
side papers. This was the origin OF
the cooperative news-gathering move
ment which has developed into the
worldwide organization OF today.
