Noske replied:
"oh, yes, they would. The British
would have invented some pretext.
Great Britain Is out to cripple Germany
and demands our last dredges and
cranes so as 20 prevent the revival Of
our mercantile marine"
NOske repudiated the German gov
ernment's responsibility for the sinking
of the warships in Scapa Flow and
accused the British government of pub-
fishing misleading and faxed extracts
Of the letter of Rear Admiral Adolf Won
Trotha, chief Of the German admiralty.
Vigorous representations have been
made by the German government to The
interallied naval commission relative
to an alleged violation of the armfstice
terms and an invasion Of German SOW
eFeignty at Kiel by the British steam
ship st. Helena, carrying German pris-
Cners. Tho incident. which is describ-
ed as extraordinary" in a semioffi-
cial statement issued, occurred along the
Kiel canal.
Word was received by the German
Baltic station that a German had es-
capped from the steamship while she
was anchored at the Holtenau docks,
and that he had b~eenNpursued and fired
upon by the British.N German troops
were at once ordered to occupy the
docks and KEEL police boarded the st.
Helena to inquire as 10 the cause Of
the incident, They are alleged to have
found there about 700 Germans who
claimed they were being held en- board
and believed thAy were being taken to
Danzig for forcihle enlistment in the
Polish legion, They asserted they had
been selected from prison camps in
England because of their Polish names
and that many had Joined the legion
under British pressure. y
1t was pointed out that the vessel
was in German territorial waters and
that, therefore the men were no longer
