Without British Guards.

London, June 24.-Admirai Won
Reuter-, commander Of the In
termed German fleet sunk by it's
own crews in Soapa Flow, may
be tried by an international
court, together with u-boat COM
manders and other war criminals,
1t is learned. The British admiral
ty is forwarding full report Of

tlce commission In Paris, by

rected.
Welmar, June 24.-The German
Warships which were not surren-
dered to the Allies and which have
been anchored off kiei, Wilheims-
haven and other points, have been
sunk by German sailors manning
them, according to a report re-
celved here from a reliable author
lty.
London, June 24.-Most of the Ger.
man warships interned at Scapa Flow
have been sunk by the German off,
GERS and sailors on board All the
big battleships and battle cruisers,
excepting the Baden, and numerous
smaller craft were sunk, while others
went ashore in a half sunken condi-
tion.
Eighteen destroyers were beached
by tugs, four are still afioat, while the
remainder went under.
The wholesale sinking of the Ger.
man ships, which were surrendered
under the terms of the armistice, was
fully arranged by officers and crews.
All explosives had been removed and
the only means of destroying the feet
was by opening the seacocks. The
ships went down slowly, with the Ger.
man flag showing at the mastheads.
The crews, composed entirely of
Germans, took to the boats when the
vessels began to settle. While max.
ing for the shore, the boats were chal.
lenged and called upon to surrender.
Some of them ignored the summons
and were fired upon, few casualties
resulting.
A statement, issued by the ADMIRAL.
ty says:
Number of Ships Beached.
According to the latest reports
from Scapa Flow. all the interned
battleships and battle cruisers have
been sunk, except the battleship
Baden, which is still afioat. Five light
cruisers have been sunk, but three
have been beached. Eighteen destroy.
ers were beached by tugs. Four destroy
ers are still afioat The rest OF the
destroyers have sunk.
'In accordance with the terms of
the armistice the German ships were
interned with skeleton crews as care
takers and without British guards
aboard.
"A German rear admiral and most
of the Germans from the ships are In
custody aboard British ships. Some
boats from the ships refused to stop
when ordered and were fired on. A
small number OF Germans were killed
or wounded"
The hosting Of red flag was the
signal for the crews to scuttie the
ship.
When the German high seas feet
surrendered last November and was
taken to Scapa Flow, 1t comprised
nine battleships, five battle cruisers,
seven light cruisers and SO destroyers.
AS far as is known, all the ships we're
still at Scapa Flow.

There remain less than "a hours.
The Allies are constrained to say the

qualification or reservation. We shall
require from the representatives from
Germany an unequivocal decision of
their purpose to sign and accept, or
not, the whole of the final treaty,
Germany is responsible for the every
stipulation after her signature.

ORDER YOURS NOW.

We regret that we have had to dis
appoint many person who wanted
to buy a Hudson this year but could
not get one because there were not
nearly enough to go around.
Our entire allotment was absorbed
by those who foresightedly ordered
their cars in advance of the time
when they actually needed them.
Already, we foresee that we shall
not be able to secure, during 1920,
all the Hudsons our territory will
want.
So, if you wish to own a Hudson
next year, we advise you not to de-
lay in placing your order.
Please understand that we are not
urging you to make an unpremeditat-
ed purchase of a Hudson.
We are giving you these facts con-
corning the demand for the Hudson,
not in our own behalf, but seriously
and earnestly, because we wish to
guard you against disappointment.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

Iii MS MAD GnOI INV.
Early Christmas shopping has been
enjoined upon US all from time inn
memorial. Consideration for the
clerks has prompted it. But this year
finds the holiday season attended with
difficulties which make early shop
ping necessary if shopping is to be
done at all. The streets are toll up
and in some sections untraversible
This is hindrance to the public and
the merchants-and now comes the
drastic fuel order restricting the
hours of trade to sevens from nine in
the morning to four in the afternoon
If Christmas shopping is to be done
at all it will have to be done within
these hours.
You must begin tomorrow to shop
early. The people of the country
must be here by nine o'clock and be
ready to get away at four. The peo-
pie of the city should be ready for
shopping with the opening of the
stores at nine. Money is plentiful,
the stores are short of competent
help and you must be considerate of
all. But begin tomorrow.
