to cargo carriers, Admiral Palmer says,
has complete compliments of officers

for training new drafts" The navy also
provided armed guard and radio crews
for merchant vessels in trans Atlantic
service.
The great task now, in the opinion of
Admiral Palmer, who recently was re

of battleship, will be in furnishing 220,-
900 officers and men for the shipping

To accomplish this the permanent train

to accommodate 10000 men at once.
These include the Great Lakes station

Hampton Roads $4,000 each. and Pelham
Bay, n. Y, $4,000. Hundreds of ships
are used as floating schools, each being

win Germany slip?

The danger of a bolshevikist revolu-
tion in Germany has undoubtedly been
exaggerated by the German authorities
with view to obtaining more lenient
terms from the allies. The German
people as whole are too docile and too
well disciplined to get very far out of
hand. far more imminent danger is
that some of the states will seize the
occasion to shake off the incubus of
prussian domination in German affairs.
Already there are signs that Bavaria,
and perhaps the other South German
states, are determined to insist on a far
larger share in whatever new form of
government may be set up.
Relations between Prussia and the
southern states of the empire have never
