Mr.. Hoover's message revealed that
the work Of relief and rehabilitation

German army was so complete, Mr..
Hoover said, that the relief work must
include not only food and clothing. but
housing over a considerable area.
An, enlarged organization to handle
the situation is being built up. and
supplies have been obtained from the

ADMIRAL WOULD
SINK ALL SHIPS
AMERICAN COMMANDER SAYS
GERMAN VESSELS ARE OF
LITTLE USE TO U. S.
REBUILDING NOT CONSIDERED
Says Expense of Maintaining Ships
Would Be Enormous, as Types
Are Entirely Different From
. Allied Fleets.

MISREPRESENTATION OF all
capital ships Of the German navy sur
rendered to the allies was recommend
ed to the House Naval Affairs Com
nittee by Rear Admiral Rodman, who
commanded the American fleet in the
North sea during the war. He said
The German ships Will not be needed,
that they are of different types than
those of the allies, and that it would
be a waste of money to pay to main
tain them.
During the war the combined Brit
lsh and American forces have had
such a predominating superiority over
the German fleet that it dared not
come out and fight u.s." Admiral Rod
man said. IF that supremacy could
be maintained when the German fleet
was in existence. what would be the
object Of adding their ships to our
force when the danger of their attack.
Ing us has been removed.
THE expense Of maintaining the
ships would be enormous. The types
are entirely different from those of
the British and American fleet. They
are equipped with different guns and
use a different kind of ammunition.
The expense of making them CORE
spond to ours would be almost pro-
hibitive.
Furthermore, there is no object
for the allies to keep them for pro-
lection. BY the time Germany can
build new ones and again become a
competitor for the worlds largest
feet, those ships will have become OBJ
solete and would have to be thrown
away anyhow"
