Hstory's Most Remarkable Naval Destruction
Definitely Ends Power Which Disputed
Supremacy Of Seas.
Huns Not Only Prevent Final Surrender Of Ar.

By ROBERT WELLEs RICHIE.

. IaHien. June - --Aamiral Won Reuter-, commander of the
surrendered German feet, personally ordered its scutting by
their crews on the belief that the armistice had expired. He
says so himself. according to the Daily Express, in the follow
ing message to the British commander:
Il ordered the sinking in the belief the ar1nistice was'term-
mated, and following the German navy's tradition, which
knows no surrender @
In the firing on of boats, in which German sailors escaped
from the scuttled warships, six men were killed and ten
wounded.

today, said an officer Of the naval publicity department at ,

'Does the admiralty believe that the story of the sinking
Of the German fleet has been fully toldf" | asked.
.fFor the present. at least-yes, wa sthe answer. Beyond
this. the officer refused to be drawn.
Here is an interesting situation:

only the battleship Baden and three destroyers remain ahoat.
following the daring, concerted action of the German crews.
Four hundred thousand tons, valued at approximately

exactly $50 words.
The Genesis, hitherto the model of brevity, required 400
words.
History's most remarkable naval destruction. which, in the

In four hours. this mighty armada is wiped off the face of the
waters. and a small body of men in London, possessing exclu-

words in mysterious undertones.
AS a matter of fact, very few admiralty officers are in Lon

Fight Against the League Of
Nations Enters Final Phase
Senatorial Proponents of Covenant Voice Objections to Root
Suggested Observation-Disclosures as Another Phase of At
tack on Treaty.

Washington, June 21.-The nght
against the league Of nations has en-
tered its Anal phase in the opinion OF
Democratic today, who COM
mented on the letter sent by Elihu
Root to Senator Lodge. chairman of
the foreign relations committee, and
in which are included suggested
amendments to the league covenant.
Plenty of ammunition will be forth
coming against the Root reservations
from senatorial proponents of the
league, judging by the objections
made to it today. These objections
will doubtless be carried to the floor
OF the senate.

cock. former chairman OF the foreign
relations committee, "as another

said:

 ANOTHER FIGHT
Martin -Marsden Combina- tion Working for Nation

ROOSEVELT'S DEATH
 CHANGED ALL PLANS
Much Speculation As the Upstate Machines Atti-
 tude on Wood.

New Haven, July. 12.---Judge Charles J. Martin, who it is reported has been appointed an aide here for John T. King in the canvass for the Gen. Wood presidential campaign, to- day stated that he had no knowledge of such an appointment having been conferred upon him. Judge Martin is one of John T. Kings staunchest sup porters.
 So far the Wood boom is going along without a big organization by King. The latter is in New York most of the time and is gathering up the ends of the organization that was built up for the interests of the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt.
 The death of Col. Roosevelt caused plans to be changed and Wood was pickedi up as the choice of the Roose- welt boomers for the presidential nomination. They are trying out Gen. Wood with the returning soldiers and feelerS are out everywhere to make preliminary tests of how the army men would go. King has arranged the matters so that in the event of the Wood boom strikes shoals any where that another man will be run in place of Wood. One of the King men here said today that the Connecticut member of the Republican national committee is proceeding with great caution with the Wood boom and un- less it is seen that Wood will pull well with the Republicans that the boom won't be slid off the ways and somebody else will be supplied to meet the ideas of the Rooseveltfan forces.
 There is much speculation among the Republicans in this state as to what the upstate machine will do with the Wood interests It is un- derstood that the machine is busy these days On the preliminaries to see that Kings plan to return to the national Republican committee are upset. The machine is favorable to- ward Col. I. u. Ullman and matters are so shaped to accomplish this end. Col Ullman put over support for the reelection of Jacob D. Walter to be county commissioner and he helped out in defeating the Marsden- n-Martin- Shares organization which came with in two votes of putting their man, Cheney of Milford. in as a member of the county commissioners. In ap- preCiation of what Col. Ullman did for the machine, the upstate machine is now at work to do all it can to put Colonel Ullman on the national com mittee
 The Martin Marsden machine is not letting the grass grow under it's feet either and it's forces is intact and lined up for King. It is already apparent that another big fight is in sight be- tween the upstate Republican ma chine and the Martin com bination to save King.

London, July 12.---St. Helena, to which Napoleon was exiled, wants the ex-Kaiser. according to a correspond- ent of the Daily Mail, and the inhao- itants are speculating on where he will live
 Incidentally, a Copenl- gen despatch says the Extrabladet learns from a diplomatic cource that the Neither lands Government, a result of un- official negotiations, is ready to de- liver the formor Emperor to the AL lies. and proposes to do it at The Hague.
 As to the news from St. Helena, where there is a population of 4,G00, the Weekly Observer heads a leader Send Him Here" and says the island colony is greatly excited over the prospect of getting another imperial hostage.

HORSES FAST
 DISPLACED BY
 MOTOR VEHICLES

Hartford, July 12-More than 16, 900 horses in Connecticut were displaced by motor vehicles in the past decade, it was seen by figures obtained yes terday at the Capitol. Statistics pre- pared in the office of Tax Commits sioner William H. Coribin revealed that the horse population of the state dropped from 75,779 in 1908 to 59,737 last year, while records of the motor vehicle department showed that the number of horseless vehicles mean while leaped from 1895 to 9565O Five automobiles appeared for every horse removed.
 In the face of this reduction in horses, Cattle Commissioner James M Whittlesey produced reports of 536 more draft equines imported into Connecticut last year than in the pre- vtous year. indicating to him that the drop in horse population represented practically the elimination of driving horses. with only slight changes in the number of draft and farm horses due to the introduction of motor trac- tors and farm tractors. Mules are classified with horses throughout

CANDIDATES NUMEROUS FOR
 REFEREES JOB

As the time approaches for the re- tirement of Judge John W. Banks as Referee in Bankruptcy, in order that he may take up his duties as a judge of the Superior court, candidates for the vacant position are putting forth their claims with greater vigor than ever.
 The appointment will be made in the near future by U. $. District Judge Edwin s. Thomas and there seems to be no question but the ap- pointee will be a Democrat and it is believed that the new Referee will be a lawyer who has served during the late war.
 The most prominent candidates from this city are Hugh J. Lavery, chair man of the Democratic Town Com mittee, and Attorney George Mara South Norwalk is pushing the claims of Attorney Kehoe, and Stratford be- ieves that it's young judge, Howard w. Curtis, who is now judge of the Stratford Borough Court, will get the place The fact that Judge Curtis has been practicing only four years, it is thought will not interfere with his chances, although the claim is made that no one can be appointed who has not been admitted to practice in the United States courts for at least five years.
