ENGLAND TO SINK HER
SHARE OF HUN FLEET;
REGARD SHIPS USELESS
Naval Experts Declare Alien Warboats
Would Be Expensive Addition to
Allied Fighting Fleets.

London, March elf the French
and Italians do not agree on the
proposal to dispose of the sur
rendered German fleet by sinking
it, England has decided to consent
to a division but will sink the war
ships allotted to her, naval au-
thorities say.
Equipment and armament of the
German warships are such that
maintenance of the vessels by any
allied power will be too difficult
and expensive for practical pur-
poses, they contend. The German
guns, being of different make,
will necessitate special ammuni-
tion, while construction and equip
ment are so different that England
can not maintain the fleet with
profit.
These naval authorities forecast
that both Italy and France, in the
interests of efficiency will eventu-
ally decide to sink their German
warships after salvaging them.
