other humiliation of the same
sort, now and for years to come.
Vehement, however, as must
have been the antagonism of the
British for these most hated of
their foes, they still were gener-
Gus enough to forbid any demon
stration, either Of exhultation or
of animosity, on the part of the
spectators as the formalities of
the surrender were completed
and the most deadly weapon that
Germany possessed-the one in
which she had put so much and
such vain trust-passed forever
from her possession.
That was a fine exhibition of
generosity, quite undeserved, of
course, by the professional as
sassins Of the sea, but felt by the
victors as an obligation impos-
ed on themselves and met, UNI
willingly, perhaps, but scrupu-
ously. There were no cheers for
the arrival of a day so different
from the one long toasted in the
German Navy, and there was no
hurting Of imprecations at the
beaten murderers as they were
allowed to 60. 1t was a silence
worthy Of the British Navy
Ne. Y. Times.

They Took No Chances.

That the British naval men
nave not gained since the sign
ing of the armistice any conf
dence in the honor Of the men
who so recently were conducting
a ruthless warfare against them
was shown plainly enough by the
elaborate precautions taken by
Admiral Tyrwhitt while receiv-
ing the first hotilla of German
submarines to be surrendered.
He eliminated all possibilities
either of injury to his own yes
sells and their crews or of losing
by a last piece of characteristic
treachery and desperation the
prizes that were coming at last
into his hands.
Instead the British Admiral
met the undersea boats with a
force of British ships of over
whelming strength, and he com
PEELED the German crews to re-
main on board, with the engine

Guns had to be pointed fore and
aft-necessarily harmless, that
is, to the British convoy fleet
and it was not until British Of
ticers had examined each sub
marine and found it in the good
order required by the terms of
the surrender that the German
crews were allowed to transfer
to the destroyers that came a.
long to take them home again.

tine ministry of war. 1t is accom-
panied by book of those who sub
scribed to the gift. containing the
names of the ministers of France,
Great Britain. Italy and Belgium and
the charge daffaires of the United

The saber also is accompanied by
a parchment, in which Marshal Foch
is told that it is sent to him by
those same Argentine citizens who
early in the war signed the testi-
monial demanding that the Argen-
tine government join the allies: that
no reverse of the war has ever shaken
their faith in the cause of the allies
and that they now wish to send this
symbol of their joy at the great vic
tory in which they have been denied
a part.

APPLICATION OF SCIENCE
TO WARFARE is OUTLINED
Report of Bureau of Standards
Points Out Many Elements
of b search.

4 chapter in technical history OF
military efficiency comprises the re-
port OF the bureau of standards. APP
plication of science to warfare has
engaged it's activities of physical re-
search applied to military instru-
ments, methods Of locating enemy
batteries, development of new war
materials, appliances and methods,
and other technical military problems.
Recent expansion has been on lines
vital to the success of the war. Many
of these lines are of essential value
to our Industries in peace. The need
for the national provision for master
gauge standa rdiZation was only real
lied by those in close touch with such
work. The accurate dimensioning OF
the functioning parts of mechanisms
will permit extending the American
system of manufacturing interchange
able parts to its maximum useful
ness.
The Importance of nationwide
Standardization has long been known.
The practical working out of such
Standardization is best met by ma
tional laboratory, such as the bureau
of standards. The same principle
holds for all the technologies and
special branches of physics.
1t has been proposed that the func-

ton was made by persons experienced

The dormitories on Union station

grounds, embodying his views.
The letter read in part as follows:
From what 1 have observed of
these buildings and read of their
construction they would make ideal
hospitals. ] am sure it is not the
intention of the government to make
permanent use of temporary war
buildings SO prominently situated.
Certainly such buildings as the dor
mitories OH the Union station and
Senate plaza should not be permitted
to remain after the war for any other
use than that of housing the nations
