PARIS, Feb. 2S.-Thc question OF the
disposition of the German fleet again
has been raised by the widespread
french protest against the British pro-
posal TO sink it as an object lesson in
disarmament. The American delegation
mas not taken sides, but IS expected to
throw It's weight in either scale when
1t appears wise and polite.
The British admiral, Wcmyss, has mr.
rived, bringing, it is believed, the pro
posals OF the British Admiralty, which
are said to favor such q disposition
OF the surrendered German warships
as Will content France
America ls certain not to accent any
oil the German naval vessels now in the
custody of Great Britain at Scapa Flow.
1t Ia also understood that Great Britain
has reached the conclusion that she
does not want any of them. 1t may be
agreed to give the British quota, as-
Stunning that a distribution is decided
upon, among the dominions and col
ones. But it Ia known that the Ger
mans before the surrender removed MI
IRE control apparatus and other de-
vices, which materially reduces tho
value of tho prizes.
