It IS hoped that he will return within week or ten days, or possibly turn over British interests to Mir. Balfour, but his absence may have the effect of prolong ing the conclusion of the treaty beyond the 18th.

HUN SUB IS SUNK
 WHILE TRYING ID
 FLEE FROM SPAIN
U-48 Chased by Destroyer and Destroyed, Says a Madrid Dispatch
 to Paris

Paris, March 15.-The German
 submarine U-4S, while attempting
 to cscape from Ferrol. Spain. last
 night, was chased by destroyer
 and sunk. according to n Havns dis
 patch from Madrid.
 The U-4S took refuge at Ferrol in March, 1918, and was interned. The attempted flight of the U-boat was ob- served and the torpedo boat destroyer Antalo pursued her. The German boat was sunk outside the Ferrol roads. The crew was saved.
 When the German submarine U-4S sought refuge at Ferrol her propellers were unshipped by the authorities and her guns and munitions were taken out. according to dispatches from that port. The captain of the submarine declared his craft had been. damaged severely in a fight with three ships. The U-boat carried a crew of 30 men, and for a time Spanish warship stood guard over her.
 In 1917 the U-4S was reported of Ber- I,

 Vice Admiral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss of Great Britain. chairman of the allied delegation, began by reading state- ment prepared for him by the civilian mem bers. calling on the Germans to say cateEorically whether they abided by the terms of the armistice. Under Sec retary of State Won Braun replied curtly:
 Yes"
 Admiral Wemyss then read one page of typewritten memorandum. giving in crisp sentences the terms of the allies for granting food to Germany--the German merchant fleet to be handed over at once, financial provisions to be made at once, food to be delivered at once and to be continued until the next harvest, or as long as Germany abided by the terms of the agreement.

Washington, March 15.-Although It will be included in the final treaty Of peace, the league of nations may not be in the preliminary treaty, it was said today in official circles here after Sec retary Tumulty had announceF in New York he had been informed " Presi- dent Wilson by cable that thd plenary council at Paris had decided the league plan was to be part of the treaty.
 Officials here explained that the pre- liminary treaty would be between the victorious associated powers and Ger many only; that it might be character ized as the final armistice." and as such need not be submitted to the Sem ate for ratification. They said the pre- liminary document in every particular would be incorporated in the final treaty. which would present tho terms which must be agreed to by all the war ring nations.

IMPORTANT CONCLUSIONS
 By Associated Press

Washington, March 15.-Important con- clrsions. which probably will be reflected later at Paris in discussion of limita- ton of naval armaments, are expected
 here to grow out of the forthcoming con- ferences between Secretary Daniels and
 his aides and European admiralty off, clals' The secretary sailed today accom-
 panied by his three chief technical ad- visers. sstf~-,e-... /. While the n,rin abj~ct Of the trip of the Americsh officials is to gather in- for~ i;.on upon which the navy depart ment can base a report to CongreAs rela- tive to the proposal to substitute gigan- | tic composite cruiser-battleships for pres ent day capital war vessels, the fact that such programme would render all ex- !sting fleets obsolete and that It's cost would be enormous, insure, in the view of many officials here, that the project will be taken up at the peace confer ence.
 Pending the return of the secretary and more comnlete intraservice discussion,
 naval officiNls generally are inclined to defer judgment as to the advisability of adopting the composite ship programme. They take the View that even in its nar- rowest and strictly American aspect, tho proposal raises questions of such far ttdSHiiS tndL lnuiNfuudt opinions should have no weight in arriving at the answer. Only the concensus of the sea- soned and trained judgment of the ser- vice they argue, should be considered by Congress when the departments report
 Is presented. M
 In the view here, even the American S5-knot battle cruiser project, now held up to await decision on the greater question of composite ships, has in it elements that make it more than pure- ly national matter under present cond- tions. Officers say If competitive naval building is to continue, other powers must provide similar ships. as not even Great
 Britain has built or is building craft of equal efficiency in their own peculiar sphere.
 BRITISH MUCH INTERESTED
 It is understood that progress toward the construction of the gigantic battle cruisers, six of which already have been
 authorized, has been watched with some concern by British naval authorities,
 since it has appeared likely they would necessitate additions to the British naval budget. There is little doubt among most officials here that the British would welcome an international understanding at Paris which would eliminate that source of expenditure.
 The standard fighting ship of today Is the per-dreadnaught, in the Amer ican and British navies, vessel with u speed of approximately 23 knots, ail armament of F 16-inch guns; an armof belt varying from l2 to l4 inches in thickness and a displacement of about 5000 tons. Such ship costs about s2o,- 0o,O00. The United States has 10 of them under construction or authorized. ana the naval appropriation bill which failed in the final hours of the last Congress
