Greatest Naval Surrender Ever
Due This Week.
When the Germans Will Give
Allies Cruisers.
They LEAVE HARBOR TODAY
VIII Be Headed for an I'm
known Destination.
British Fleet VIII Meet and
Conduct Them.

London, Nov 17.-(British Wire
less Service)-This week will see the
greatest naval surrender which the
world has ever witnessed. A great
fleet of German battleships, battle
cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers
will leave port Monday morning at
five o'clock for an unknown destina-
tion. They will be met by the British
fleet, accompanied by American and
French representatives and conducted
to their destination.
A Berlin telegram -eceived in Am
sterdam gives this list Of the vessels
to be handed over:
Battleships-Kaiser. Kaiserin, Koe-
mig Albert. Kronprinz Wilhelm.
Prinz Regent Luitpold. Markgraf.
Grosser Kurfuerst, Bayern, Koenig
and Friedrich Der Crosse.
Battle cruisers-Hindenbur Der
finger, Seydlitz, Moltke and Won Der
Tam.
Light cruisers-Bremen, Drummer,
Frankfort, Koeln, Dresden and En-
den.
The German cruiser Dresden was
sunk off Falkland islands by the Brit
ish under Admiral Sturdee, whils the
Emden was sunk in the Indian ocean
after it had raided shipping in the far
east. 1t is probable old ships have
been given the names of the ships
sunk or that new ships have been
built to replace them,

RAISE FOR TOPEKANS
Fifty Telegraphers To Be Given In
crease in Wages.

Probably fifty railroad telegraph
efits under a new basic increase of 13
cents an hour, as announced by Direc-
tor General McAdoo. The increase. in
cluding pay for day and night men.
will amount to about $75 day for
Topeka railroad operators.
The advance in wages is made ef-
fective October l and calculations are
based on an eight hour day. For the
nation, the increase amounts to about
3O,000.000 a year. In Topeka the in
crease will mean between $4,000 and
$25, 1000 a year to the operators. A
minimum wage of 35 cents an hour
was established in computing the in
crease. To this was added the i 3 cent
advance in wages. The order affects
telegraphers, telegraph operators
other than switchboard operators
agents and telephone operators. tower
men. lever men. train directors, tow
er directors, block operators and their
staff men. The entire Santa Fe te1e-
graph del rtment as vel as men en-
ployed by the Rock Island and Union
Pacific railways in Topeka are affect
ed by the new order.
Railroad telegraphers numbering
about seventy thousand, were granted
the increase over the country.
The decision does not apply to per-
sons receiving less than $40 a month,
or persons who devote a portion of
their time to outside interests, and
therefore are not employed the re-
manning eight hours on wires.

DEFEAT PROPAGANDA

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Government
agents see evidences that German pro-

Concerted movement is apparent, Of

many individuals a few organizations,

and some newspapers.
The interest of the government

at this time is not to suppress free ex-

to fight any concert of propagandists.

HOLD UP TAX BILL
Senate May Not Act Until Next
Session.
Changes Asked by McAdOO Will
Cause Delay.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-The war
revenue bill. the senate finance COM
mittee agreed today cannot be re-
ported to the senate before the new
session of congress opens December 2.
Because of the certain delay in the
committee due to Secretary McAdoo's
proposals for downward revision to
make the total levy $4,000. 100000 for
1919 and $4,000. 100000 for 1920, 1t
was the consensus of opinion the pres
ent session of congress might we'll be
adjourned at once.
This report was given to Majority
Leader Martin. With the senate
awaiting the revenue bill and having
little other business and with the
house virtually suspended under the
three day recess program, leaders
planned an early adjournment until
the new session opens two weeks
hence.
Controversy over the proposal to fix
1920 tax rates in the pending bill was
renewed today with Republicans again
voicing strong opposition.

THE GREATEST OF
ALL WAS DUE FOR
THE GERMAN SOON

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Had the war
continued the United States would
have had a long range gun shooting
much farther than the Teuton one
which shelled Paris. The gun the
have had a range of probably 100
miles, but whether it will be developed
now that the struggle is over is un-
certain.
Like the mounting of the big IA
inch naval guns for front warfare. this
long lange weapon was to be the prod
uct of navy brains. Not that ordnance
men believed such a weapon to be of
military value, but they did agree that
it might have a psychological effect.
The gun Is understood to have been
planned along lines similar to the Ger
man machines. 1t was to be gun
within a gun, in other words. a sub
calibre gun.
The explosive charge would cover
the area of the bigger gun but act in
a small tube within. thus producing a
big power on a comparatively small
projectile.
Ordnance men say the German gun
and this one are both freaks without
sufficient ability to destroy the enemy
to make them militarily worth the
cost.
The naval ordnance experts not only
planned to develop this weapon, bu;
| they did extraordinary work on depth
charges. rocket flares which would light
up the enemy craft without searchlight
and an aircraft gun firing from both
ends.
In aircraft the navy was successful

that the department proposed to bring

the public into his confidence on this
point.
Army of Occupation.
The New England division, mention
ed as a possible Christmas present for
the nation, is named in unofficial mes
sages as being in the army of occupa-
ton. This group, now reported to be
ten divisions. may have to be increased
later and it is quite likely that the
units now engaged therein will be
changed from time to time, just as in
battle.
The work of freeing men in this
country will be hurried as much as
possible.

now in progress.
When the Rainbow division comes
