ENGLAND INSISTS
 ON SINKING SHIPS
Wants to Save Engines, But Thinks German BattIeshipS' HulIs Should Be Destroyed.

Paris, Feb. 22 (By the Associated Press) )-Out of the great number of contradictory statements being pub lished concerning the disposition of German warships which have been seized, this much may be accepted as a definite official fact:
 Great Britain insists that these ships be destroyed.
 This proposition, it is understood will be put before the Supreme war council as a part of the British pro posals for definite peace terms. The published assertion that these ships will be destroyed would seem prema- ture since there is considerable op- position to the plan, especially on the part of France.
 In this connection one important future of the British plan has not been published.
 Great Britain does not propose to destroy the engines or other parts of the ships which have industrial inn portance. She would remove these parts and then destroy the hulls and armament

 Planning For Reception.
 Captain Alfred II. Griswold will be the guest of honor at a public re- ception if plans now being formulated are carried through. For some time 1t has been known that the captain was returning from overseas service but the exact time of his arrival in this city was not known and for that reason the plans were delayed until after he had arrived. It is now the desire of many that the reception be held on Monday night or as soon as possible next week.
 w. B. Rossberg, chairman of the board of water commissioners, is chairman of the committee planning arrangements for the reception. The offices in city hall were closed today and so some of the mon who would naturally be members of the commit tee could not be reached. Although no definite arrangements have been made for the reception, the chairman is of the opinion that it would take the form of a dinner at which he would be officially welcomed by the mayor of the city. to be followed later by a reception at which the general public can be present
 Definite arrangements for the re- ccption will be announced later.
