LONDON. Oct 2s.-The British Navy
League has called a public meeting to
be held in London to protest against the
question of the freedom OF the seas being
discussed as the basis OF n principle at
the peace conference the Times an
nounces The date Of the meeting and
full details will be announced shortly.
a member OF the Cabinet said recently
he didn't know what was meant by the
phrase freedom OF the seas" but sup
posed the German definition was freedom
to import raw materials without an eco
nomic boycott.
Since then Howden Smiths volume,
Tho Real Colonel House, has arrived
here, containing a new version as TO the
origin OF the expression as first noted in
Berlin and seized upon with avidity by
the Germans. who have been talking
about II ever since.
In the most important Of official circles
the subject is Ill defined and vague. Ae-
cording TO the version in Col. Houses
story the phrase means the exemption
Of all sea borne traffic from naval action

indeed natural. Remembering that sea
prowess is born and bred In the bone OF

also that much water has flowed under
the London Bridge since 19i2--it readily

previously would have been thought i'm
possible. We can discount fiery phrases
when We reflect on these changes"

CUBAN STEAMSHIP
SUNK OFF BARNEGAT
Chapparo, With Sugar Ccrgo,
Probably Hit Mine.

The Cuban steamship Chapparo. Capt..
Cinvinioies. which sailed Thursday from
Cardenas for this port with 1000 tons
Of raw sugar, consigned to the Federal
Sugar refining Company, was sunk ten
miles of Barnegat at 10 O'Clock Sunday
night either by collision with a drifting
German mine or by a torpedo.
The impression OF the naval authori-
ties Is that a mine was responsible. but
the freighter's skipper is unable to say
positively that this is true. although no.
body aboard saw any signs OF a sub
marine.
The Chapparo. formerly the British
steamship Tinbow, went down IN about
FIVE minutes. The sea was calm and
the skipper and his crew OF thirty
launched two boats and made shore
without mishap. ono boats crew OF
twelve. including the skipper. landing
at Rarnegat and the other. with eigh-
teen, landing at North Beach.
The sugar was valued at about S210,-
OoO. The ship was OF 1903 gross tons
and was owned in Havana.
