terness of the pill, she has to
swallow, Germany IS tonight
and will be all tomorrow and
during the last night of respite,
franticany pulling the wires
wit hthe neutrals with a view
to persuading them to spare
her from having to choke down
the humble pie, crust and all.
Every possible influence,
every political military and
private friendship is being ex-
plotted in this dramatic quest
for mercy. To the same little
neutral countries when she has
bullied and threatened for four
years, Germany comes cow, hat
in hand, begging for shelter for
her surrendered ships, lest they
be forced to steam into the
enemy's ports. The U -boats
must be surrendered by Novem-
Der Is. Not one single sub
marine is to be left to Germany.
The surface fea which must
surrendered, comprises ten bat
tleships Of an average tonnage
of $4,000 tons; six battle
cruisers of an average of o.
600 tons; eight light cruisers,
averaging 1000 tons and fifty
destroyers Of the most modern
type. The names follows:

Kaiser, Kaiserin, Prinz Regent
Luitpold and Friedrich der

Some of the ships mentioned
in this list have been variously
reported sunk in naval fights or
blown up accidentally, as for
instance the Hindenburg. The
4 Karlsruhe is the mystery
ship Of which no trace had
been found for two years after
she had roamed the sea as q
raider in Emden fashion. Sur
face warships, which are to be
left to Germany will be con-
ccntrated in one or more Ger
man ports, the crews will be
paid off and the vessels com
pletely disarmed and placed un-
der surveillance of a commits
sion appointed for this purpose
BY the associated powers.
The German submarines
which fed before the revolu-
tionaries, and took refuge in
Swedish waters also must sur
render.
Arrangements are under way
for the surrender of all Black
Sea ships in German hands.
No trouble is looked for in
the surrender of any of the Ger
man vessels.
