WASHINGTON, Nov. 26. - The suggestion from London that naval vessels surrendered by Germany un- der the arnistice be sunk to avoid possible disagreement among the as- sociated nations as to their disposi- ton was received by naval officials here with eveident surprise
 Secretary Daniels said today the proposition had never been mention ed to him and he was certain Ameri- can naval representatives had sug- gested no such plan. No intimation has been given as to the policy of the United States in this regard Ad- miral Benson, the ranking officer among the American delegates re- ceived full instructions before his departure, however
 If the Versailles conference de- crees that the German warships are to be prorated among the allies ac- cording to the naval losses, the Unit ed States would obtain only one des- troyer and one armored cruiser, the major part going to England. France and Italy.

 The purpose of enforcing this drastic regulation, the committee an- nounced, was to eradicate the disease at the earliest possible time and to permit business conditions to resume their normal aspect at the earliest possible date. Members of the Mari copa county medical committee, which unanimously voted in favor of the compulsory wearing of masks, are of the opinion that only through this method can places of business. now closed. be permitted to reopen.

 One of the documents dealt with the alliances efforts to combat "anti- Germanism" in Texas, referred to in report of the propaganda and ora ganization committee of the alliance at the convention in San Francisco in 1915.
 Our next look we directed to Texas. where fanatics had declared war upon Germanism to the hilt," said the report, written by Joseph Keller of Indianapolis. Ind. We found there glorious, thoroughgo- ing, self-eonscious Germanism, both in the second, third and also the fourth generations, which was for the most part centralized in a mighty order of the Sons Of Herman. Most comforting was the result of the cleo ton in which the German vote in Texas made itself felt more strongly than ever before. and it was undoubt- edly the factor which saved the state from a puritanicai yoke"
 The work of the alliance in Illinois, Ohio and Iowa was described in the same report.

CONS T+.NTINOPLE, Nov. 26- ~Th;s ias: war was the most dis astrous in the history of Turkey, no because she was beaten, but becaus, 1t made enemies of nations naturally our friends" declared Abdul Medic Effendi, heir to the Ottoman throne to the correspondent of the Associat cd Press, whom he received today
 HThe present sultan and myself, hs continued, denounced the pro, posai that Turkey enter the war Nlohammad ", who was then reign. ing, showed weakness before a clique of adventurers like Talaat Bey and Hnver Bey, then cabinet ministers and now fugitives, whom Germany had fed with dreams of power.
 "I am more ashamed of the Ar menian atrocities committed during the war than of anything in our his tory, but I must insist that they were against the will of the present sultan and the nation as a whole
 They were instigated by unpat- riotic ministers who were guaran- teed in their places by their services to German militarism The fanati- eism of remote tribes in their dislike for their neighbors and the brutality of provincial officers served as the me iiums, while the censored press herc concealed the facts from the general public. The members of the imperial family tried to make use of their prestige against this, but were imprisoned in the palace.
 -.In the future, I can say we must lave foreign assistance, as the coun- ny is exhausted. We prefer to deal hith one nation, because the diff silties ;of international control have bxet shown elsewhere, but we wei ocnae any control not menacing the ansefeisnty of the caliph.'
 ;-Bf RiBa Tewflk, the munster of public instruction, who was received at the same time as the correspond enf, complained of the provincial of ficefs appointed by the former ministers and still retained because of the lack of other trained men. He declared that they were delaying, for profit to themselves, the shipment Of coal from the Turkish mines on the Black sea coast to Constantinople, where a fuel shortage is threatened.

Both of these divisions saw heavy action and were highly commended by the British officers for their desperate fighting when Haig'S armies were smashing the Hindenburg line. Their losses undoubtedly have been heavy. but it is not regarded as probable that half of their original strength figured in the casualty lists.
 So far as is known here, no date for the return of any of the divisions from France has been arranged. Sec retary Baker said that none of the divisional organizations would arrive home before Christmas.
