-disarmcd as wei. as one newly built

German Fleet on Jan. /, 1918
AT the beginning OF this year,
Captain Pcrsius states, the German
navy consisted only of drcadnaughts
and battlcships of the Hclgoland,
Kaiser and Markgraf types, and
some few battle cruisers. All the
ships which Won Trpitz had con-
structed from 1897 to 1906, at cost
of innumerable millions, had been
destroyed, and the U-boats that had
been constructed had proved unable
to fight against British warships.
Admiral Won Capelle, during his
period as head OF the navy, says Cap
tain Persius, constructed very few
submarines of the large type but, in
official quarters, it was still stated
that Germany possessed an enorr'-
Gus number of U-boats and that the
losses were virtually nil. That was
true, the writer admits. In 1917, he
state, 50 submarines were construct
ed while 90 were destroyed. In
April, 1917, Germany had y sub
marines and in October, II. In
February, 1918, she had Is and in
June OF the same year 49, according
to Captain Persius' figures.
Only Small Part of Subs Active
Only a small percentage of these
submarines were actually operative
at any given time, Captain Persius
declares, In January, 1917, for III
stance, when conditions were favor
able for submarine work, only twelve
per cent were active while thirty
percent were in harbor, thirty-cight
percent under repairs and twenty
percent "incapacitated.' Submarine
crews, he says were not sufficiently
educated and trained and they
looked with distrust upon the wcap-
on. In the last months, he reveals,
it was very difficult to get men for
submarine work, as experienced sea-
men looked upon the submarine war
fare as political stupidity.
Captain PersiuS tells OF the mu-
tiny that broke out at the beginning
of this month, when the German
navy was ordered out for attack.
Had the seamen obeyed. the writer
remarks, innumerable lives would
have been lost and he declares that
every thinking man, therefore, is
of the opinion that the seamen, on
Nov. ), rendered an invaluable serv-
ice to their country"

"A London, Nov. 20.-British Wire
less Service-Captain Pcrsius, the
German naval critics, has chosen
the moment when the finest vessels
OF the German navy are about to be
surrendered to the allies, to publish
in the Berlin Tageblatt, a sensation
al article containing revelation re-
F, garding the German fleet. Captain
Persius says the hope that the Ger
man fleet would be able, in Second
Skager-Rak battle, to beat the Brit
ish fleet, rested upon the bluff and
lies of the naval authorities.
Weather Saved Hun
In August, 1914, Germany had
about one million tonnage in war
ships, the writer poitns out, while
Great Britain had more than double
that and, thanks to the mistakes OF
Won Tirpitz, the German material
was quite inferior to the British In
the Skager- -Rak battle. he declares,
the German fleet was saved from
destruction partly by good leader
ship and partly by favorable wealth
er conditions. Had the weather been
clear or Admiral con Scheer's lead
crship been less able, he deStruc-
ton OF the entire German navy
would have resulte. The long range
. British guns would have completely
smashed the lightcr-armed German
ships. As it was, the losses of the
s German fleet were enormous, and on
June /. Captain Persisu says it was
clear to every thinking man that the
Skager-Rak battle must be the only
gecurai naval engagement OF the
war.
On all sides, continues the writer
Admiral Won Tirpitz was advised to
construct only submarines but he
remained obstinate. On Oct. |
l9l50. several members of the
rcichstag made an earnest appeal to
the army commandment to the naval
staff-with the result that an order
was issued that terminated the con-
struction OF battleships n order that
the material might be used for the
making OF U-boats, In the mean
time, so great scarcity of material
had arisen, that it became necessary
to disarm a number OF the battle
ships and take the metal. In this
manner, at the beginning OF 1916

KILL OFF PREDATORY BEASTS
Kidding Ranges Of Ravaelns Rogues
Results in Saving More Than
100000 Worth OF Stock.

II is estimated that the bureau of
biological survey of the United States
department of agriculture is saving
annually over 100000 worth Of live
stock for the ranchers Of the Rocky
mountain section as n result Of its in.
tensive campaign against predatory an
finals, which has been in progress dur
ing the past three years. During this
period G0,45S coyotes, S,0S5 bobcats,
1929 wolves, POI mountain lions, aud
137 bears have been trapped or shot,
and many other animals have been
poisoned. The income from the sale Of
pelts OF animals killed by government
hunters to protect live stock during the
last year will aggregate approximately
100000. This work Is of special i'm.
p0rtance, because the cattle and sheep
which are already on the range produc-
ing meat, wool, and leather arc afford
ed protection, and thus the actual
sources Of these essential commodities
are being conserved for market. Fur
thermore, clearing the rrnge of preda-
tory animals is making conditions more
favorable for stocking the grazing
areas to full capacity and for lmprov-
ing the quality Of the breeding stock.
