LACK OF SHIPS KEEPING

Sharp Distinction Between German
Navy and Army Officers Re-

IN GERMANY. September Is GORE
spondence OF the Associated Press).-
The old sharp distinction between
the German naval and German mill
tary forces is disappearing. As the
navy has virtually no ships. the
naval officers and men are largely
available for shore duty.
According to information reaching
the American Army headquarters in
CoolenZ, at the present time such vol
unteer naval units as exist serve
practically as troops along the coast,
and transfers Of naval men to and
from the reichswehr, or national
army, are frequent This is made
easy by the fact that both the war
and navy departments are under De-
Tense Minister Noske.
By recent German naval order a
number Of sea officers were trans
ferred to the coast guard at Will
helmshaven and a coast guard de-
tachment at Cuxhaven. On the other
hand, a number of officers on shore
duty have been transferred to the
only forces of the German navy
afloat, the three or four volunteer
torpedo boat hotf1las.

COL. HOUSE SAILS TODAY

PARIS, October 5 (by the Associat-
ed Press).-CoL E. NJ. House of the
American peace delegation. accompa-
MED by Mrs. House, left Paris for
Brest tonight. They will sail for the
United States Monday on the steam
ship Northern Pacific.
1t was announced by Col House that
his plans on arriving in the United
States were uncertain. He expects to
see President Wilson as soon as the
President is able to receive visitors,
and said he was ready to return to
Europe or do anything else the Presi-
dent wishes him to do. ..-..-
Col. House said the supreme council
probably would continue its sessions
in Paris for an indefinite period and
that President Wilson after ratifica-
ton of the German treaty by three of
the great powers. probably would call
a meeting of the league of nations
executive council to be held in Paris,
as 1t would be impossible for the
members to go to Washington within
two weeks, which is the period the
treaty allows the council after the
ratification of the treaty to settle the
Saar, valley problem.
Col. House added that this meeting
Of the executive council likely would
deal only with the Saar valley prob
lem, leaving other matters for a later
meeting in Washington.

there were not those of illustrious
