 The first published suggestion that the ships be sunk came from London several days ago but even before that, it was learned. this had occurred to some naval authorities here as one possible way of settling a vexing prob lem
 Admiral Benson. chief of naval ope- Tations and designated as naval ad- wiser to the American peace delega- ton has been in Europe some time. His views, worked out with Vice-Ad- miral Sims and officials of the Brl- tish admiralty and the French minis try of marine will have great weight with the American delegates on naval questions arising at the conference, but there Is nothing here to indicate what conclusion he may have reached on the disposition of the surrendered craft.
 There were many indications today that a proposal to sink the ships would meet strong opposition in con gress. The Paris dispatch prompted Senator Lodge to introduce today a resolution calling on the state depart ment for information as to whether the American delegates are advocat- ing destruction of the enemy ships and if so by what authority. The,reso- lution was left on the table without discussion and Senator Lodge may touch on the subject in an address he announced he would deliver in the senate Saturday.
 While the impression has been giV- en that the navy department probably would not look with favor upon send ing the German ships to the bottom, some officers pointed today to prac- tical obstacles to absorption of the surrendered vessels by the allied and American navies. They said that ow- ing to differences in design and equip ment between the capital craft of the German fleet and those Of any other naval power, the military value of the ships to the victors is far from as great as might be thought The Ger man ships were built, if was explain ed, on theories that differ fundamen- ldlil lIOu bIlllbu, AnlcIlCdu, rT6uCQ or Italian ideas of naval construc. tion.
 Only in the case of the most modern German dreadnaughts or battle cruisers, one officer said, would the extensive reconstruction necessarily to make them part of homogeneous fighting fleets be justified. As a peacetime element of the navies of the associated powers some officers were inclined to think that the chief value of the majority of the surrendered capital craft, would be as trophies of the victory, to be point ed as object lesson to any other power that. might become swelled with ambition for world conquest.
 It was recalled, however, that some of the Spanish ships sunk by the American fleet at Santiago in 1898 were raised and used by the American navy and that also Japan made simi- lar use of Russian ships captured in 1904 after rebuilding them.
