LONDON, Jan. 27.-The Reuter- cor

Naval Commission at Kel SAYS the
commission inspected the dockyards
there on Saturday and left Monday for
Berlin. There was virtually no activity
around the harbor during the stay Of
the commissioners. All types of Ger
man warships were moored III the har-
Dor. Only two cruisers and four de-
stroyers were in commission. A $4,000
ton battleship. half completed, and un-
touched during the last fourteen
months, and other giant vessels, their
armor plates removed and engines and
tunnels rust-eaten, were also to be
seen.
The whole scene in the dockvard
and harbor says the writer, gave a
most vivid IDEA of the complete sub
mission and defeat of the German
navy. The spirit of the German sea-
men, however was not in the slightest
broken. They sang patriotic songs on
the arrival and departure Of the COM

From Coalition Government

LONDON, Jan. 81 BY The Associ-
ated Press George Nicoll Barnes,
Minister without portfolio, has re-
signed from the Cabinet The signif-
cance of his resignation lies in the
fact that it is the final withdrawal of

Barnes elected to remain. on the
ground that it was his duty to remain

The relations between the United
