LONDON, October 1.-Two months
preparatory work by deep-sea divers
at Scapa Flow, have paved the
way for the early raising of the
first of the twenty-nine German de-
stroyers sunk by Admiral Won Reu-
ters orders June 1. 1919. A report
received today said that the actual
work of raising the ships can proceed
as soon as the lifting appartus which
the government is leasing to the sal
wage company arrives on the scene.
The vessels are being raised en-
tirely as commercial proposition
by the salvage company, which eX-
poets to realize a profit from the ma
terial thus obtained. The British ad-
miralty announces it has no interest
in any construction or ordnance Sc
crets the sunken ships may hold.
The total tonnage of the German
ships at Scapa Flow is 5000, but 1t
is considered impracticable to raise
the larger craft. Divers who have
examined the destroyers about to be
raised report that their sides are
wreathed in seaweed. with the deck
area a jungle of submarine flowers
