LONDON, June 23.-The German ships
were sunk at Scapa Flow by order OF
Rear Admiral Won Reuter- who with Ger
man crews is now under arrest. He
stated that he believed from German
newspapers that the armistice had ter
minated and he personally gave orders
to sink the ships in pursuance of orders
given him early In the war that no Ger
man man-of-war was to be surrendered.
A telegram which was received by the
Admiralty from Scapa Flow states that
a copy of Won Reuters orders OF recent
date for the sinking of tho ships has
been found.
Admiral Won Reuter- will be court
martialled on a charge OF having violated
the armistice conditions. Pending ar
rangements by the Council of Five In
Paris for his trial he will remain in
custody.
Fourteen hundred German seamen
from the German ships at Scapa Flow
have been landed by two British vessels
AZ Nigg. Scotland. They were marched
TO Scottish command convalescent camp
recently evacuated by British troops. A
party OF the Twentieth Seaforth High
landers from Fort George. near 1nver-
ness, has arrived at the camp at Nigg
TO act az a guard over the Germans.
Commander c. N. Robinson. r. n.
naval expert for the Times. says:
'The propensity OF the German sailors
for scuttling has continued to the end.
First he scuttled our merchantmen, then
he scuttled himself. and now ne has
scuttled his feet. The news that the
greater part OF the German ships In
a
their moorngs was certainly unlocked
for. and II can hardly have been entirely
unexpected. The state OF affairs on
board the German ships at Scapa Flow
has been described by several visitors
and 1t was not such as to indicate that
care and maintenance parties In those
vessels had an enviable existence
There was very little discipline. the
officers exercised little or no control, and
in some cases II had become necessary
to send back to their own country
numbers of German seamen owing to
their troublesome behavior. Although
the interned vessels were watched day
and night by armed trawlers, there was
no British guard on board them, for
anything OF the kind would have been
inconsistent with the terms OF the armis-
tice. and the crews. therefore. were lrac-
tically at liberty to play any tricks with
the ships they wished. They were quite
able to make preparations for scuttline
vessels and although individual rather
than organized EFFORT might have been
looked for, no atonishment can really
be felt at what amounts to breach OF
trust. sinco the Hun has neither a con-
science nor a sense OF honor.
Not Captured Vessels.
1T should be remembered that these
vessels at Scapa Flow had not been
captured like the submarines which

BY the Assoctdted Press.
WEIMAR, June 22 (delayed) 1t was
sombre throng that jammed the Ma
tional Assembly chamber to the doors
long before noon to-day to hear the
arguments of the political leaders and
learn the vote of the peoples represen-
tatlves on the question OF signing the
peace terms TIL crowd did not seem
to mind tho heat. although throughout
the four hour session II displayed re-
markable degree OF apathy. receiving
each speech and even the announcement
OF the overwhelming vote In favor of sign
ing the treaty without sound of ap-
plause; tust as they had received the
fiery speeches against such action in
absolute silence.
Analysis OF the vote of 2s7 TO 1873
in favor OF accepting the treaty seems
to show that the bulk of the Democrats
went over at the last minute to the side
OF those who advocaed tho signing, on
the understanding that the terms
would be signed on condition that ex-
Emperor William would not be delivered
to the Allies and that German citizens
such as Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
and Gen. Ludendorfr would not be extra
dited.
After Gustav Bauer, the new Pre-
mier, had spoken. hve of the party lead
ers made addresses. Herr Loeb spoke
for the Majority Socialists and Adolf
Groeber for tho Centre party, giving
the reasons why they advocated accept
ance, the latter protesting. however.
against the surrender OF the ex-Em-
peror. Former Finance Minister Schif-
fer, for the Democrats, delivered a scath-
ing speech against signing, which
equalled In bitterness even that of Count
Won PosadowskyWe The Count,
however. appeared to help the cause OF
those who favored acceptance because
OF the sentiment OF Prussian militarism
and junkerism which characterized his
remarks,
One OF the urgent appeals for signing
the treaty was made by Hugo Haase,
the Independent Socialist leader.
In announcing the decision to sign
the peace terms, Premier Bauer said {:
''At this hour Of life and death. under
the menace OF invasion. for the last
time ! raise in free Germany n protest
against this treaty OF violence and de-
struction. I protest against this mock
cry OF self-determination. this enslave-
ment OF the German people this new
menace TO the peace OF the world under
the mask OF a treaty of peace. No
signing can enfeeble this protest which
we raise and swear TO. This treaty does
mol lose its Rnnihilating character by
alterations In detail. Protesting against
It Is useless and Ia at the risk of a new
crisis within forty-eight hours
our power of resistance Is broken
and there Is no means OF averting this
treaty. The treaty itself. however, does
give us a handle which we cannot allow
to be wrested from US. namely, the
Entente's solemn promise OF June l6
that the treaty can be revised from time
TO time and adapted to new conditions
That Is one OF the few words in the
treaty breathing the real spirit OF
peace"
