ing automobile builders, but promised
to report the criticism to the navy
department.
Taylor. chief constructor, and Rear
Admirals Griffin and Earle listened
to Leroy's testimony.
The three admirals recently tcsu-
fed to the plans drawn and inspec-
tions made by naval experts, Admiral
Taylor saying the Eagles had con-
formed to design characteristics and
were useful both for war and peace
purposef.
Steel plates furnished to speed up
quantity production OF the Eagle
boats, Leroy asserted, were thrown
together and loosely bolted. insuring
buckI,ng and corrosion In actual Use.

Returns Come Slowly.

Berlin, Jan. 2o.-Full election re-
turns from all sections Of Germany are
coming into Berlin slowly because OF
the work of tabulating the vote OF the
six leading parties.

able at S o'clock tonight the majority
socialists had from 4s to As per cent
of the total vote. With the indepen-
dent socialists and the German demo-
Gratis the majority socialists will con-
stitute the left OF the national as
sembly. with s5 per cent Of the seats.
The democratic party has made an
excellent showing and may outstrip
the centrists in the final count. The
Independent socialists probably will get
four ont Of the fourteen seats from
Greater Berlin. The majority social
lists WIN gel five seats from Greater
parties Of the right one each.
The official final count OF the ma
tional vote probably will not be avail
able before Wednesday. Numerous
votes in Berlin are being contested BY
the independent socialists.

Police Eichhorn and Hugo Haase, for
mer secretary of foreign affairs in the
Ebert cabinet nave been elected to tie

FLU DEATH RATE WAS HIGHS
Thirty.two Out Of Every 1000 Soldiers
Died in Campo.


Washington, Jan. 21.--Some idea OF
the high mortality from influenza
among troops In camps at home for the
six months period ending Dec. 81, was
shown in report by the surgeon gen
eral OF the army. The epidemic did
not get considerable foothold before
the latter part Of September and the
death rate for the six months rose %
32.15 per thousand per year from all
causes. The rate from influenza and
pneumonia was so.07 per thousand per
year.
During demobilization. the report
says, 1T may be expected that relatively
high rates will continue, as only well
men are discharged, the sick being re-
tanned In the army indefinitely for
treatment.

Stable Governmept Probable.

Paris. Jan. 21.-Ear1y returns from
the German elections are interpreted
here to signify a promising prospect
for the establishment OF fairly stable
German administration at an early
date.
The majority socialists and the Ger
man democrats. who are the sue
cessors of the old radical party. ap-
parently will go into the constituent
party with a big lead over the inde-
pendent socialists. Frederick Won
Payer. former vice chancellor and
leader Of the democrats, and the
socialist leaders. Ebert and Scheide-
mann. demonstrated their ability to
work together in the old reichstag.
They also can count on Constantine
Fehrenbach,: the centrist leader. as an
ally in their efforts to institute gov
ernment with basis Of popular sup
port.
This commission is regarded in all
the allied circles here as an indis-
pensable preliminary to any peace
negotiations. The coming into power
Of these groups will mean the con-
tinuation Of the present armistice
commission and the probable y ap-
pointment Of Scheidemapn. Won Payer
and Tehrenbach or Erzhberger as the
leading members OF the German peace
delegation. T..
Had the elections brought in two
fairly evenly balanced socialist sroGps
with an insignificant representation
from the moderate and nonsocialistic
e!ements as was feared at first. the
controversy and bitterness between
the majority and independent and
socialists undoubtedly would have
converted the constituent assembly
into a discorded assembly from which
little could be expected.
