rive grim reminders of the war, ships
OF the former German Imperial Navy
allotted to the United States. were
towed to anchorage in the Hudson
River late yesterday afternoon. Four
OF them, cruiser and three DESTROY
ers, had been go badly damaged that
they had been unable to cross the At
iant1c under their own steam and were
towed by the army transport Hancock
in command of Captain E. J. Church
In the hold of the Hancock were the
bodies Of seventy-five sailors and
marines, which will be debarked at
ThIrty-fifth Street, Brooklyn, TODAY.
Three tugs from the New York Navy
Yard accompanied by the DESTROYER
Caldwell, steamed out to meet the
ftotilla and aid the Hancock in bring
ing the helpless warships up the river
The Stars and Stripes foated from the
sterns of the enemy ships, and Yankee
crews were on board. The dreadnought
Osfriesland, flagship of Vice-Admiral
Schmidt, commanding Battle Squadron
I Z at Jutland, was the only one of the
German ships that crossed without aid
The cruiser Frankfurt and the DESTROY
ers V-43, G-102 and S-132 were towed
In command of the fleet was Captain

jr., whose body will be taken to Wood
lawn Cemetery.
The Osfriesland was anchored at
West Seventy ninth Street, in the
North River, while the Frankfurt and
the destroyers were towed to the pier
at West Eightieth Street for clean
ing. Several Atlantic ports will have
the opportunity of seeing the dread
.nought, and possibly some of the
others, after New Workers are given
two weeks in which to view them.
By the terms of the peace treaty all
of these ships must be destroyed with

in one year of the date OF their arrival
here. 1t is thought they will be used
as targets at the ed of the year. Hun
dreds of naval engineers and officers
are to examine the dreadnought, the
cruiser and the destroyers. The
Ostfriesland, Frankfurt, V-43 and G-102
were at the Battle of Jutland, in 1916.
The three destroyers were among the
vessels sunk at Scapa Flow by their
own German crews.
The Frankfurt reported the presence
of Beatty's feet at Jutland and sank
two British destroyers. Water in the
engines, at Scapa Flow permanently

Dear Governor:
Permit me to suggest for your con-
stdcration the political situation which
would arise upon the rat1lcatlOn OF
the 18th amendment of the constitu-

woman suffrage, in order that YOU
may be prepared to act should it arise.
LIT seems highly probable that Yer

may ratify the amendment before the
general election in November is held.
If this should occur. the proclama-

take effect. We will then have q sys-
