HindenbHrg Believed To Be
Urging Naval Action.
German Fleet Concentrated
To Help for Channel Ports.
BY CARL D. GROAT.

Washington. May 1S.-Von Hinden-
burg Is trying to impose his will on
the rest of the German war lords and
force them to send out the high seas
fleet so that his land operations may
be a success, according to the navy
departments best information today.
He succeeded in compelling the
mobiliza ton of the bulk of the fleet
under full steam in its Kiel base. The
navy's information tends to indicate
he has the whip hand and will wiring
some more desperate action from the
fleet. unless the allied sea power
strikes first.
Must Win on Sea.
Hindenburg's theory, according to
the advices, is that even tho he were
to take the channel ports by land. a
German victory will be impossible
while Britains navy was intact
American navy officials believe con-
fidently If the German army master
wins out in his contention he will only
sacrifice German navy vessels and
lives With the United States, France
and perhaps Japan in on the play, the
enemy would be unable to cripple the
entente, it was said.
