SCORE FOR ADMIRAL BEATTY
Replies to Hun Protest, Saying No
Enemy Boat Can Fly It's Flag in
British Ports.

London, Nov. 29.--Admiral Won
Reuter-, commander of the German
fleet which surrendered to the Allies
on November 21, has protested against
the order of Admiral Sir David Beatty
Of the British fleet, directing that the
German flag be hauled down. He
points out, according to an admiral
ty staten ent, that interment In Il Brit
ish harbOr is, under terms of the ar
mistice, equivalent to enterment in a
neutral port, where, in accordance
with precedent flags are allowed to
remain hoisted.
Admiral Beatty, calling attention to
the fact that the armistice merely sus-
pended hostilities and that a state of
war still exists between Germany and
the Allies, has replied
Under the circumstances, no enemy
Vessel can be permitted to fly it's ma
tional ensign in British ports while

STATUS OF WAR ORDERS
IS RENDERED i DOUBTFUL Il|ljll'1l VI
Contracts Involving Hun
dreds of Millions of Dol
lars Affected by Ruling.

Washington, Nov. 29.--GoVernment
war contracts involving hundreds Of
millions of dollars were rendered
doubtful il status today by decision
of Comptroller Warwick of the treas
ury that orders have not been legally
executed unless actually signed by
responsible government contracting
agents and the contractor.
The war department submitted to
the comptroller form of cancellation
agreement under which it was pro-
posed to abandon without unjust loss
to contractors thousands Of war sup
ply contracts. He refused to approve
the agreement, holding that the de-
partment may not agree with q con-
tractor on an arbitrary sum to cover
liabilities unless specific auth oriza-
ton for this is given in a previously
existing contract.
A large proportion of war orders
were given informally by telephone,
telegraph or letter, it is said. II such
cases the comptroller held new legis-
ton will be necessary to permit
framing of agreements for cancella-
ton.
Secretary Baker said the war de-
partment believes many contractors
are willing to forego the prospective
profits on the remainder of the work
contemplated by the contract and ter
inmate the existing contract on a ba
sis which would amount substantially
to compensation for expenditures in
Cured and profits not to exceed ten
per cent on the cost of unfinished
articles on hand-a basis more fa-
vorable to the government than the
terms of the contract would permit
a h
Stantial portion of this sum so as to
release their working capital for
switching back to commercial work
! The department., therefore, desires
to enter into supplementary contracts
with such contractors by which a sum
well within what it is certain would
have to be paid by the government on
such basis of adjustment will be paid
Immediately to the contractor upon
his consent to a termination of the
original contract, and a release to the
government from all it's obligations
thereunder,L the department agreeing
to pay substantially such additional
sum as the secretary of war may de-
termine will complete payment to
the contractor on such basis Of ad-
| juStment.

Americans Cross Frontier.

Luxembourg, Nov. 24-American en-
gineers crossed the frontier bridges
between Luxembourg and Rhenlsh
Prussia today at various points on the
American front. They went into Ger
many individually and in pairs and
reported the bridges in good cond1-
ton.
The ends of the bridges on the LUX
emburg side are guarded by Amerl-
can troops Civilians are permitted
to pass back and forth provided they
have passes issued by the officials
in various villages along the line
There have been several instances
where German soldiers and civilians
ask permission to cross into Luxem-
burg. but the sentries would not per-
nit them to, cross unless they agreed
to remain in Luxembourg until the
arrnv of occupation had moved into
Rhenish Prussia. This preGauuon
was taken as an ordinary war meas
ure to prevent the opening of lines
of communication between the Ger
mans and the people within the Am
erican lines.

New Castle, Nov. 29.-Germany
must pay the cost of the war to the
limit of her capacity, Premier Lloyd
George declared in speech here to-

The submarine pirates must be pun

it.
Referring to the culpability of the
authors Of the war. Lloyd George
said the government intended that the
investigation to be conducted should
be n perfectly fair but a stern one
and that it should go to it's final reck-
oning.
Il mean TO see that the men who
did not treat our prisoners humaneIY

declared. He added that he did not
wish to pursue policy of vengeance
but declared :

NEW DREADNAUGHT
MOST POWERFUL YET
will Be Ready For Launching in Few
Months and Will Equal Any
thing AfIoat.

Newport News. Va, Nov. 29.-With
the lifting of the voluntary censorship,
it now is permissible to reveal that
one of the great super-dreadnoughts
authorized in the 1916 three year
building program is well advanced
in construction at the plant of the
Newport Shipbuilding and Dry Dock
Co.
The keel of the $4,000 ton battle
ship was laid after the country went
To war, and in spite of the call made
on this yard for 80 destroyers to fight
the submarine, work on the big vessel
has progressed satisfactorily. The hull
has taken shape and probably Will =
ready for launching within few
months.
This monster man 0 war will mount
eight 16-inch rifles in four turrets
on the center line, two forward and
two aft, and naval officials believe
that she will be the equal if not the
superior of any warship afloat. -Four
of these ships were authorized and an
other is to be built here and two by
the Fore River Shipbuilding Co, at
Quincy, Mass,
