wAsHINorrN, Feb. 2l.-Secretary of
the Navy Daniels Is understood to be-
lieve that tho surrendered German
warships should be turned over to the
custody OF the League of Nations to be
used by It as part Of the international
police force.
Mr.. Daniels declines to comment on
the reported British suggestion that the
German ships be scrapped so as to avoid
'heartburns" among the nations desiring
share Of them. But naval circles cog
nizant Of the Secretary's policy maintain
that Mr.. Daniels hopes to see the Ger
man ships used in such manner as to
strengthen the naval forces which he be-
lieves ultimately may equal Britain's sea
strength.
Naval officers here do not believe the
British Admiralty seriously contemplates
advocating the sinking OF the German
ships. and they are inclined to regard
the reports as emanating from diplo-
matte rather than naval circles abroad.
Diplomatically. It is pointed out, the
suggestion OF doing away with the Ger
man navy altogether puts Britain on
record as not desiring to increase naval
ornaments at a time when the League
Of Nations constitution proposes limi-
tation OF armament to the limit of ma
tional safety.
This policy on the part of British dip
lomats makes Britain's attitude admit

BERLIN. Feb 20 (delayed) A large
number OF the members OF the Bavarian
aristocracy have been arrested on sus-
piclon of having been connected with
Count Arco Valley. who killed Premier
Elsner. according to advices from Mu-
Mich. The Socialist Government con-
tinues to search the residences Of men,

the nobility.
According to unconfirmed reports q

the home of Count Arco Valley. A

been among those arrested as result

The spot where Einer was killed 10
banked high with flowers and wreaths
and large portrait of the dead Premier
has been set up there. Enormous crowds
thronged to the spot yesterday to pay

decision OF the Socialist Commission to
restore unity among the Socialist par
ties and have broken Off relations with

French and Italian Officers

PARIS, Feb. 24.-while the Supreme
