KEEP GERMAN
SHIPS, PLEA
French Admiral Urges Di-
vision Among Allies.

Paris. Feb. 25.-"Sinking the
German fleet would be economic
heresy," said French admiral
who commanded a naval division
during the war, in an interview to-
day.
The world has immense losses
to repair. Both labor and steel are
now precious. Even to demolish
the German ships in drydocks and
utilize the steel to build new ships
or devote to other purposes would
be inadvisable. Why not simply
keep them7 We would not even
have to replace the guns. but make
special ammunition for them. which
would be comparatively inexpen-
sIve.
81 suggest that the German ships
be divided among the allies or be
sold at auction"

Claims Are Based.
LABOR CHIEFS HERE

Director General of Railroads
Walker D, Hines will confer today
with the chiefs OF the four railroad
brotherhoods on the final draft of
a proposal which would further in
crease the wages of 100000 rail-
road employees.
This draft, it was learned. is the
result of several previous meetings
between Mr.. Hines and the brother
hood chiefs-W. G. Lee. OF the train
men; w. S. Stone, of the engineers;
a. b. Garretson. of the conductors,
and Timothy Shea, of the firemen
and enginemen.
Increase May Result.
The government, it was stated,
has taken no final decision on the
question of higher pay for the rail-
road workers. but it was indicated
that such action might result from
the conference.
Officials refused fatly to discuss
the amount of increase contem-
plated. The total. it was indicated.
however. will be far less than the
$3.50, 900. 900 granted May IS last.
The proposition for higher wages
ltT INC an pdb " VI hflo dlL lLllldItu
in the four principal brotherhoods
was put up to Mr.. Hines by the
brotherhood chiefs several months
ago.
Hines Fully Advised.
With a full supply of facts at hand
as to railroad operation. Mr.. Hines
will be ready to make n final decision
today. President Wilson, it is under
stood. has been fully advised of the
situation and the plea on which the
railroad brotherhOods base their claim
for higher wages at a time when the
country is feeling its way through a
period of after-war stagnatiOn.
The last increase the railroad men
received ranged from 43 per cent to
those receiving $50 or less per month.
to S.73 per cent for those already earn
ing SI97, and to AS per cent for those
already getting S2S9 or more. All in
creases stopped with wages of $3.50 or
more per month. Other large percent
ages of increase were paid on an hour
