HUN FLEET FOUND
 |ND|RTY CONDITION.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-(British Wire less Service e)-Describing the German warships which surrendered to the British and now are interned in Scapa Flow, the correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
 "The German admirals flag, white, with a thin black cross and two black balls indicative of his rank, still float ed at the main top gallant of the Friedrich der Crosse, as the German squadron moved between the British lines. It hung limp and dirty-typical in the state of all the German ships and their crews. The ships were in such condition that they looked like vessels laid by for breaking up pur- poses. They could not have seen paint for two years. Their sides, tunnels and bridges were covered with red rust and the masts were black with soot. The guns even had not been painted for months.
 'The Derflinger was in better condi- ton than any of the others, and there was an appearance on board that dis cipline was still in vogue. On all the other ships, the crews were lounging about, many on the quarter decks, not recognizing their officers. On the Der fllnger the officers were paradlng smartly about on their own quarter and the men were clean and orderly As we passed close to each ship, the men crowded to the rail. They looked miserable and drenched and dold. Their clothing was nondescript There Wss an air of melancholy and depression everywhere. It was pleasure to come from them alongside our own great ships, where everything was spick anG span. Hearty sailormen with cheery faces were at every porthole, and thu quarter decks were occupied only b, officers, the commander marchin. briskly along in the traditional way telescope under his arm.
 The German officers have been DO lite and no trouble has been expert enced with them. The British officer have rejected all advances at friendli
 ness and have extended only the neces sary courtesies."

NAVAL ESTIMATE |S
 NEARLY HALF LESS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Naval es- inmates for 1920 have been reduced s1,1S0,315,000 as the result of the sign ing of the armistice, Secretary McAdoo was informed today by Secretary Dan iels. The original estimate on a war basis was $2,644, ,307 ,000, and this has been reduced to $1, ,463, 3,992,000.
 No reduction was made in the esti- mates of $600,o00,000 for a second three-year building program of 156 ships. which has been recommended to congress by Secretary Daniels. This program contemplates ten superdread- naughts, six battle cruisers and 140 smaller warships and auxiliary craft.
 The largest reduction was $313,4 = TIC in the estimate for the bureau of ordnance, and the second largest was $275,324,2S5 in pay of the navy. Other reductions were announced as follows:
 Pay, miscellaneous, $5,015, 900; avia- tion, navy, s133,770,700; bureau of navigation, s41,026, 603; bureau of yards and docks, including public works, $9,- 45S,000; bureau of supplies and ac- counts, s224,951,315; bureau of con- struction and repair, $37,500,000; bu- reau of steam engineering, S2S, 900; marine corps, s95, 5,702,964; naval emer- gency funds, $113,145,000.

Not At First Considered In Relation of Participant Except to Preserve Ideals Counsel Then Sought Assertion of Rights Pre- ceded Full Admission to Conference Now Lead ing Nation
25.-(Rv the Associated

PARIS, Nov. 25.-(By the Associated Press)-The United States govern ment's diplomatic success in obtaining from the allied governments accept ances of President Wilson's points, with only one reservation and addition, is becoming daily more apparent, as the preliminaries for the approaching peace conference are being outlined largely on the basis of the presidents points.
 Colonel E. NJ. House. the special rep resentative of the United States gov ernment, when he arrived here, found little disposition among American and European friends to accept, as to- tality, the framework of peace as ex- pressed by President Wilson. Some European statesmen considered that the points had worked as a good soi- vent upon Germany; that they had served their great purpose in their eff feet upon German unity; but that they should not be observed too closely, when it came to formulating the prac- dcal details of the settlement.
 Allied statesmen plainly put forward the view that as the American tradi- tional policy had been one of detach- ment from European affairs, it was natural for the American government, when the war broke out. in Europe, to consider it a quarrel among European nations, and to declare it's neutrality.
 It was pointed out that for two years and a half the American government observed its neutrality and called the attention of both groups of belliger- ents to violations of sea law. Ger many's offences became intolerable and America entered the war, both for that reason and because America did have a community of ideals of government and of human rights with the allies America, as became a great country was impelled to put forth great efforts and she did.
 America Not to Have Been Party Allied statesmen have fully appreci atcd the effect of American arms ir winning the decision. Nevertheless, il was contended by some, this had beer controversy among European na- tions and the winning group, it wa: suggested, supposed that America having accomplished her aims, would return to her detachment and allow the countries intimately concerned tt arrange settlement, according to tn, European viewpoint of the situation.
 These statesmen made it plain tha they would receive every friendly coun sel the United States would offer, tn more so because they knew that Amer ica wanted nothing in material wa, | for herself, but was interested only il realizing her ideals. The losses tn other belligerents have suffered, il comparison with those of the Unite, States, also have been cited as req son for the allies having a predominant influence in shaping the new order il | Europe.
 These were some of the conception put forward by the allied government

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25-First units of the American expeditionary force to return from overseas are expected to arrive in New York about the end of the present week.
 General March, chief of staff, an- nounced tonight that 3S2 officers and 6,6l4 men of the air service and other attachments, training in England, are homeward bound on the Minnekahda, Lapland and Orca, British liners. The first two ships left Liverpool last Fr1- day and the Orca sailed on Saturday.
 This announcement means that the movement of the American troops now in England, the majority of whom are in air service attachments, will con- tinue steadily until all of them, some 10000 have returned to this country. There are no regiments or other units of line troops in Great Britain. The first movement of the larger units, such as brigades and divisions win come from French ports. it is assumed, as the British cross channel service un- doubtedly is completely occupied with the transportation of returning British forces.
 Before General Marchs announce ment, Secretary Baker discussed with newspaper correspondents the return of American troops from France. Their homeward movement, he said, is de- pendent almost entirely upon the limI- tation of transportation facilities both at sea and in France.
 British Ships May Help Besides employing in this work the German liners seized in this country Dutch vessels taken over, and all other available transports, MT. Baker said some part of the British transport ton mage, employed in carrying troops tc France, will continue to be used in get ting the men home. He pointed out however, that Great Britain will need many of her ships to carry home Ca nadian, Australian, New Zealand ant other colonial forces, which have beer Continued on Page Two)

He said he was al old man, broke and the publication O the Dingee story would end in a trag edy. If you will agree not to publish the Dingee story, I will resign from thu supreme court he said. I can give al a reason that I want to go into wa. work, as I have written a great deal ol the subject. In addition to that I wan to help you in the Mooney case
 T was very much moved by Hen shaw's plea and replied: Well, judge l am getting on toward the end of If myself, and I haven't any desire t wound any one unnecessarily, and i seems to me that if you do as you sa, you will do, that is sufficient. I don know what more you could do.'
