Decision by Allied Leaders.

1T should he clearly understood"
the embassy statement said that the
decision for the German ships to be
interned and not surrendered was
made by the heads of the allied gov
ernments.
THE naval advised of the ad-
miralty recommended the surrender
and not internment, but this advice
was overruled by our allies. The
decision then taken has of course con-
troiled the situation ever since and
made prevention of scuttling impos-
Sible.
1T was originally intended that
the ships should be informed in neu
trail harbors. in which case it is clear
that it would not have been possible
for the allies to have placed armed
guards on board. In view of the
difficulties concerning internment in
neutral ports the allied naval council
agreed that they should be informed
at Scapa Flow, and that the COM
mander-in-chie of the German fleet
should carry out the necessary meas
ures.
These necessary measures were
therefore intended to be of the ma
ture as far as possible similar to those
that would have been put in force
in neutral port. and for this reason
the placing of an armed guard on
board was not considered admissible.
Even if an armed guard had been
put on board the ships. the presence
of the German care and maintenance
parties would alone have rendered it
impossible to guarantee that the
ships would not be sunk Their size
and the complexity of their ma
chinery would make it compare
lively easy matter for few men,
with the detailed knowledge which
they possess. to open the necessary
al IN fol RI re.
steps without the knowledge of their
guards.

BRITAIN EXPLAINS
| LOSS OF HUN SHIPS
Method of Internment Had
Preventing Placing of
British Guards.

| That the method of internmment Of
the German fleet at Scapa Flow pre-
vented the placing of British armed
guards on board. thereby making it
an easy matter for the Germans to
scuttle their fleet. is the gist of a
statement issued last night by the
British embassy.
Had the fleet under the terms of the
armistice been surrendered outright
the British might have prevented the
occurrence. though even had the fleet
bcen surrendered. it was said. it would
not have been guarantee against the
sinking of the ships because the Ger.
man crews. with their expert knowl
edge of the complex valve machinery.
would have found it compa ratively
easy matter to open the valves with
out detection.
1t was originally recommended to
the allied naval council ny the naval
adviser of the British admiralty the
statement said. that the armistice
terms provide for surrender instead
of internment of the German ships
but the recomme ndation, it was said,
was overruled by the council.
