BEATTY DENOUNCES
HUN NAVAL REGIME


LONDON, Dec. 3.-CBritish Wireless
Service)-A scathing denunciation of
the personnel of the German navy was
made by Admiral Sir David Beatty
commander in chief of the British
grand fleet, in a speech addressed to O
gathering of representatives OF the first
battle cruiser squadron on board the
battle cruiser Lion, prior to its depart
ure for the Scapa Flow, as an escort
to the surrendered ships of the German
high seas fleet.
I'VE had expected them" said Ad-
miral Beatty, TO have the courage that
we looked for, from those whose work
lies upon the great waters, and | am
sure that the sides of this gallant old
ship, which have been well hammered
in the past, must have expected to have
given them another taste of what we
had intended for them.
Their humiliating end, was the
proper end for an enemy who has
proved himself so lacking in chivalry
At sea, his strategy, beneath contempt.
and worthy of nation which has
waged war in the manner in which this
enemy has waged war
We know that the British sailor has
large heart and short memory. Try
to harden the heart and lengthen the
memory, and remember that the enemy
which you are looking after, is a de-
spicable beast, neither more nor less
He is not worthy the sacrifice of a life
of one bluejacket in the grand fleeL
and that is the one bright spot in the
! fact that he did not come out"

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Asserting that
the United States had not done nearly
as much as the British navy and the
British, French and Italian armies. to
bring about the downfall of Germany,
Theodore Roosevelt declared in a state
ment here tonight that it is our busi-
ness to stand by our allies at the peace
conference" -------
He declared it sheer nonsense" to
say the American army was fighting
for President Wilson's famous fourteen
points, He made the assertion that
there was not one American soldier in
every thousand who ever heard OF
them
The British empire imperatively
needs the greatest navy in the world
and this we should instantly concede, -
said the colonel. Our need for a great
navy comes next to hers, and we should
have the second navy in the world.
Similarly. France needs greater mill
tary strength than we do, but we
should have all our young men trained
to arms, on the general lines of the
Swiss system.
May Mean Much or Nothing
"The freedom of the seas is a
phrase that may mean anything or
nothing. If it is to be interpreted as
Germany interprets it, it is thorough
ly mischievous. There must be no in =
depreciation of the phrase that would
prevent the English navy, in the event
of any future war from repeating the
tremendous service it has rendered in
| this war.
The British must of course keep the
colonies they have conquered.

SHERMAN SHARPLY
ATTACKS PRESIDENT
FOR PARIS JOURNEY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-President
Wilson's trip to Europe was the sub
ject of debate in the senate today be-
tween Senators Sherman of Illinois,
republican, and Williams of Mississip-
pi, democrat. -. -l---------..-
In introducing a resolution to declare
the presidents office vacant, upon Mr.
Wilson's departure from the country
and to provide for the succession Of
Vice President Marshall, Senator Sher-
man severely criticized the president
for his decision to attend the peace
conference. He declared the trip is un-
justified, constitutes "a grave menace"
and might cause ''insidious mischief"
Senator Williams warmly defended
the presidents course. He recited the
fact that both Presidents Taft and
Roosevelt made trips outside of the
United States, and suggested that the
purpose of the presidents critics was
to make political capital out of his
voyage abroad.
Mann Not to Interfere
While this colloquy was proceeding
in the senate, Representative Mann of
Illinois, the republican leader in the
house, issued statement declaring
that factional strife should not be per-
mitted to interfere with the presidents
mission. He said there would be no
concerted effort by house republicans
to embarrass the president, and that
he did not believe the American people
would tolerate any meddling in that
which so vitally concerns them
The debate between Senators Sher-
man and Williams continued ABOUT two
hours, but no other senators joined in
the discussion, except to ask occasional
| nftaCfinnc
cratic senators left their seats when
the speaker of the opposition party was
addressing the senate. Well-filled gal
leries, however, closely followed the
exchanges between the speakers ana
| occasionally the spectators were repri-
manded by Vice President Marshall for
applauding.

PRESIDENT PARDONS
TWO A|RP[ANE MEN
ACCUSED BY HUGHES
LRepubIcan A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Lieutenant
Colonels L. G. Vincent and George W.
Mixter, army officers, named by
Charles E. Hughes in his report on the
aircraft investigation as having been
guilty of transacting business with pri-
vate concerns in which they were fl
nancially interested, have been par
doned by President Wilson.
This announcement was made to-
night at the White House:
1T was announced at the executive
offices today that the president had
pardoned Lieutenant Colonel George
w. Mixter and Lieutenant Colonel j.
G. Vincent, whom the recent report on
aircraft production showed to be tech
nically guilty, because of a breach of
statutes, because he entirely concurs in
the views of the attorney general with
regard to these two cases. He believes
that the two gentlemen concerned were
entirely innocent of any improper or
selfish intentions. that their guilt was
only technical, and that their services
to the government, which have been
of the highest value and of the most
disinterested sort, deserve most cor
dial recognition
No Action Taken
No action against Colonel Vincent or
Colonel Mixter has been taken by the
department of justice, and the grant
ing of full pardons to them was recon-
mended to the president by Attorney
General Gregory, who took up their
cases in separate letters to the presi-
dent. These letters were made public
tonight
Colonel Vincent was vice president
Of the Packard Motor Car company
and was one of the designers of the
Liberty motor THE authorities au-
thorized Mr. Vincent to build re-
qured number of models and expert
mental motors, and he directed his
company to do the work under his su.
