QUESTION OF PEACE PUT SEC.

Will Reject Disarmament and See That
Britannia Keeps on Ruling
the Waves.

London, Nov. 25.-Outcropping of
British public opinion during the last
4S hours, and expressions by members
of parliament since its prOrogation,
indicate that concern for the mainte-
nance of British sea power is more
genuine and widespread than is the
belief in making impossible another
world war.
While the British pacitist minority
Is endeavoring conScientiously to en-
compass the reduction of ornaments
as the first step toward the creation of
a league of nations, the British jngoeS
are preparing to notify the world in
unmistakable terms that Britannia
rules the waves and figureson keeping
right on in the waye-ruling business, re-
CARELESS of what other nations may
think.
Another large section of British opin-
ion is voicing the view that the arms
tlce was granted prematurely.
The general belief here appears TO
be that the ex-kaiser is only playing
possum.
with regard TO freedom of the
seas" which is the all-absorbing topic
here, the Times and Morning Post, the
chief opponents of Britain's naval pol
icy, are coming out boldly in behalf
of the maintenance of British mari
time supremacy. with a soft pedal on
disarmament.

Short trips were made into Rhenish
Prussia. where the inhabitants are re-

every consideration
The German population of Metz ap-
pears TO lack thus far full compre-

German residents take the arrival Of
the French troops as an unwarranted
invasion.

government for Lorraine. arrived to
take possession Of his post.
NJ. Mirman found n portrait Of the
German emperor still hanging in the
private office of the prefecture. Nat
urally 1t was taken down and rele-
gated to II corner. This action Baron
Won Gemmlngcn characterized as
violent pressure"
It took two days to convince the old
president of the German administers
ton that the newly arrived commits
sary was in fact his successor and
that ne must give way.
Quiet Is Prevailing.
order is being maintained in Metz
during the period of transition by
natives Of AlSace-Lorraine, with tri-
color badges on their arms, They
have all the authority of municipal
police. There have been few Incl
dents. but quiet prevails, and the peo-
pie of Metz are beginning to see
clearly through emotions that have
shaken their souls.
The German signs are being given
French color the names of hotels,
restaurants and business houses los
ing their Teuton flavor. The arrival
Of French troops with the prospects
of more and better food has had a
decided effect In lowering prices Ar
tices that were 10 marks Il week ago
are selling for 10 francs.

tions on the principal hotel menus
that were marks have been cut

Most Of the French officials sent
here to administer the affairs of the
territory Of Metz are natives of Lor.

populations thoroughly. The munlcl.
pal government will be entirely In
the hands Of native inhabitants.
The municipal council, half OF
which was composed Of natives and
the other half immigrants has beer
dissolved, because no immigrants
will be admitted TO participation in
