return of strikers Saturday morning

II could not be learned whether the

because Saturdays are half holidays or
for some other reason. This was the
first formal statement since the strike

considerable discussion. as Mr.. Emmons
in previous labor difficulties at the plant
always referred to the operatiN es as

The strikers voted to-day on the pro-
posal to resume work tomorrow follow

TELLS PLAN TO SINK
GERMAN WARSHIPS
Rear Admiral Rodman Urges
Destruction Of Foes OBJ
solete Capital Craft Only.
ECONOMY IS CHIEF REASON
House Committee Hears How,
u. S. Fleet Drove Germans
Back Into Hiding.
Special DsspstoA to TIE sus.


WASHINGTON, jan s.--Defnite recon-
mendation that the capital ships OF the
German feet be destroyed. despite the
Presidents denial that he supported such
a solution Of the white elephant" on the
hands OF the United States and the Al
lies, was made to the House Naval Com
mittee to-day by Rear Admiral Hugh
Rodman
when the arrnistice was FIRST under
discussion" he said. II discussed the
terms from a naval viewpoint with the
British naval commander In CHIEF. Al
miral Beatty recommended that the
navy be represented and that uncondi-
ticnal surrender Of the German hect Dc
made a provision.
1.-THE German Government complied
with this provision. They turned over
tho ships, rendered their offensive
strength valueless, landed their ammuni-
ton, removed breech blocks from the
guns. dismantled the fire control ap-
paratus on the ships. removed warheads
from torpedoes. and the whole German
rsvy was rendered absolutely helpless"
After the surrender Admiral Rodman
said the question OF disposition OF the
feet arose He said he had recon-
laended that all the vessels. except the
latest types Of capital fighting ships. be
taken 0to the North Sea and sunk where
the water is 90 deep the vessels could
never be raised. With the late types OF
ca pital ships Admiral Rodman said he
suggested that some cruisers, destroyers
and fleet submarines be kept and USED by
the Allies and the United States.
German ships Would He Obsolete.
The American officer then made this
explanation o. his recommendation to
sinh the capital ships OF the German
navy:
During the war il was conclusiNely
shown that the American and British
fleets easily dominated the whole sur
face of the seas and that they had SUI
tlcient power to wipe out the German
feet at any time II the opportunity pre-
sented itself Therefore, could see no
good reason for adding to the strength
t OF either our own navy or the British
navy, as II would mean more expense Tor
maintenance and upkeep.
THE ships ] would sink are entirely
, OF distinct type from ours, have dinerent
4 size guns and in all constructive features
different Standardization. II would
be cheaper to sink them. II We could
dominate Germany with the present
British and American fleets when Ger
many has no feet there Is certainly no
! need OF increasing our own and the
British fleets
/ The question was raised that Germany
might build a new navy.
( I'm that case" said Admiral Eodman
the present capital ships OF the Ger
man navy-those recommend sinking
, would be completely obsolete and OF nc
value against a new and modern Ger
man navy and II would be dead loss
to maintain these ships for number
OF years"
! admiral Rod,,an admitted he did not
know how many ships would be sunk II
his recommendation were followed.
You recommend the destruction o.
these ships for purely economical rea
sons" Representative Oliver Gala
asked.
Exactly 80 Admiral RodTar said.

Oil Is Reported in
HOpi Well North
west Of Snowflake

Considerable excitement was
caused in town few days ago
by the report that the first oil
had been found in the Hopi Oil
company's well. The we'll is
located near Dry Lake about
eighteen miles northwest of
Snowflake and is being drilled
by the Wind River Refining and
Development company under the
management of Bob Adams.
Drilling operations were COM
menced several months ago on
the well by the Hopi company
but a contract was let a short
time ago to the Wind River COM
pany to complete it. Since that
time the public has not been
permitted to get any direct in
formation of the progress made
as guards have been p a C e d
around the property to warn
people away. However, the
news leaked out that the drill is
down about a thousand feet and
that the first strata of oil had
been cased off and that the we'll
is being drilled to the lower oil
sands. Sen. S. G. May6eld,
president of the Hopi Oil COM
pany, affirms that oil has been
found in slightly commercial
quantities, but Bob Adams.
whose policy seems to be sec
recy, denies that any indication
of oil has been passed through
by the drill. The armed guards
at the diggings will not tell and
people are left to draw their
own conclusions.
Many of the geologists who
have passed on the oil field are
Of the opinion that the first oil
sands would be found at a shall
low depth but to secure the
LIQUID wealth in commercial guam
titles the lower oil sands would
have to be tapped. 1t is very
evident that the report of the
finding of oil in small quantities
is true and proves the deduc-
tions of the geologists.
