Exhibition Trip
OF Enemy Ships
Is Abandoned
German Vandalism Has Left
Craft i'm Such Condition
That 1t Would Be Danger
GUS to Send Them to Sea
Systematic Loot Charged
Captain Hellweg Says All
the Gear That Could Not
BE Stolen Was Wrecked

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Owing to
the deliberate damage wrought by the
crews to the engines and other vital
parts of the five former German war
ships recently brought to this country
under the peace treaty ALLEGATION,
necesstating extensive repairs to
make them possible Of operation, none
of the vessels will be sent on an ex-
hibition tour of coastal cities, as the
Navy Department had hoped to do.
In making this announcement to-
day, the department included a state
ment by Captain J. F. Heiiweg, COM
handing officer of the convoy which
brought the ships to America, assert
ing that even the dreadnought
Ostfresland, the only one Of the five
vessels capable of making the trans
atlantic trip under her own power, was
in such condition on arrival at New
York that it would be hazardous to
send her to sea again. Captain He'll
veg attributed the condition of the
ship, the other four of which, the
cruiser Frankfurt and three de-
stroyers, were submerged at Scapa
Flow, to deliberate vandalism" on the
Deliberate Vandalism Apparent
"The Quilted condition in which we
found these vessels on taking them
over cannot be exaggerated" he said
"What had not been stolen was
wrecked. The vandalism indicated q
very careful preparation and the usual
thoroughness of the Huns in execu-
ton"
Expressing the belief that the Ost-
frieSland had been systematically looted
while in a German dockyard for a year
after her surrender had been called
for, Captain Hellweg also declared the
presence of an Unnecessarily large
crew aboard when the dreadnought was
brought to Rosyth Scotland. indicated,
in the light Of developments, that the
crew was sent with view to looting
everything possible en- route"
Not only did the German crews COM
nit obvious depreciation. Captain He'll
veg concluded, but their preparations
for future trouble by removing sec
tons Of pipe and valves were respon-
sible for numerous breakdowns in the
Ostfrlesland's machinery on the trip
across.
Made Voyage With One Engine
He cited one instance in which q
siX-inch pipe line gave way and flooded
the fire room when the vessel was 900
miles from the European coast. The
dreadnoucht was compelled to make
most Of the voyage, he said, with only
one engine running, although it towed
the Frankfurt all the way.
BY bringing back on the deck of the
Ostfriesland two 12-inch and two IA
inch guns, which had formed a reserve
for the land batteries of the American
navy during the war, Captain He'll
veg estimated that more than twice
the amount appropriated to bring the
ships across 100000, was saved in their
transportation.

Two Russian workmen who made
some disparaging remarks about the
Japanese emperor in talking to a
japanese soldier in the Russian rail-
way hospital were seized by Japanese
soldlers and "summarily shot on the
spot" At Harbin. the paper says
Japanese sentries stationed on a
bridge threw one Russian off the
bridge. breaking his collar-bone, and
staooed another in the face with a
bayonet when the Russian insisted
upon crossing the bridge.
Inc situation along the Chinese
Eastern railway was characterized by
the Times correspondent as very
critical. He stated that the Japanese
military authorities had decided to
place their own guards and senries
along the whole stretch of the rail-
way, which crosses Upper Manchuria
because they were about to send troop
trains and military supplies alons
that railway and were afraid the
Russian railway workers who were
opposed to Japanese intervention
might try to stop the Japanese from
carrying out their plans.
Since the foregoing situation was
described. information has been made
public in Moscow that Chinese and
Russian military commissioners in
conference at Verkhne Udinsk. Trans
baikalia, have reached an agreement
under which inherent rights of the
Russian soviet government in the
Eastern Manchurian railway were
recognized and the Chinese guaran-
teed to withdraw their troops from
