leaders Of British thought today re-
vealed a wide divergence of views.
Great significance is attached to
this fact as a result of action of the
allies in amending President Wilson'S s
famous fourteen points so as to per-
NIT them to enter the peace confer

to any definition of the four words
+ freedom of the seas"-which seem
destined to become the most vital
feature of the new international re-

Following are the answers to the
request made by the United Press
for the British view OF what the def

BY Admiral Lord Beresford: The
British fleet insured victory. With
hout the British fleet the whole world
would be under the domination of
Germany.
The German view of freedom Of
the seas would parallel their view Of
freedom on land Before the war,
America objected to some of the
principles of our blockade. Directly
it entered the war, it adopted the
same methods and helped us.
The league of nations is no coun-
terpoise to command Of the seas by
the British fleet. The British en-
pire will never consent to give up
command of the seas, but would glad
ly welcome the assistance of English
speaking nations to retain that COM
mand.
BY III. G. Wells: Freedom Of the
seas means a guarantee by the league
of nations of transit without discrimi-
nation in freights and fares over all
seas and international land routes,
free of determinations and extortions
by particular nations or combines OF
private ship owners and transit COM
panies.
BY Bernard Shaw: Freedom OF the
seas means that if you seize contra
band of war you pay for it and for
all incidental damage; also that all
nations have internationally guaran-
teed the right of way over all lndls-

rs VASTLY CHEAPER

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-'Liberty
fuel" vastly cheaper than gasoline
and possessing many advantages over
that product, has been invented by
officers of the war department and Is
now being produced in large Quanti-
ties, it became known today.
The fuel is the result of more than
five months of experiments conducted
by Major o. B. Zimmerman and Cap
tain E. c. Weisgerber of the research
and development divisions Of the
general engineering depot here.
Exhaustive experiments have
proved that the new fuel IS adapted
to all kinds of motor vehicles, sta
tionary engines and airplanes.
Kerosene is the basis of the new
fuel.
Credit for the production of the
new fuel is given by Major thinner
man to his colleague, Captain Weis-
gerber, a gas and oil engineer of
wide experience and established repu-
tation.
"There'll be no more 'gasolineless
Sundays now that Liberty fuel has
been discovered" Major Zimmerman
declared in explaining the product.
Liberty fuel acts completely as a
gasoline substitute, said the major.
'It is odorless, tasteless and non
corrosive. Tests for corrosion were
made in a motorcycle that covered
$4,000 miles of variable operation.
1T leaves less residue Of carbon
than any gasoline, requires less air
or oxygen for combustion and de-
velops greater horsepower.
"The force of the explosion of
Liberty fuel has been found to be
80 percent greater than gasoline"
The discovery which ranks with the
greatest of the war, resulted after
twenty-seven gasoline substitutes had
been produced.
