ION the morning Of November 81,
the first English vessels appeared and
big cruiser travelled ahead Of us to
indicate the route through the prison
frontier We saw American battleships
and even French cruiser stationed
there. When the fog lifted, We saw an
impressive and yet depressing sight.
The German navy was surrounded by
allied war vessels.
Beatty Orders Flag Down.
Around noon, the English chief,
Admiral Beatty, ordered by wireless
The German flag must be taken down
and cannot be hoisted any more with
out permission
1.-TWO days later each single German
war vessel was examined from top to
bottom. The entire German crew had
to go on deck during the time, and all
doors had to remain open. Only after
this investigation had taken place were
we told about our prison ports and
the lest all hope Of being sent to neutral
harbors.
Several days passed before every
thing was arranged. The exceedingly
monotonous service soon resulted in
a great deal of inconsistencies among
the German crew. The British UNDER
stood this and therefore reduced the
crew from 10 TO 20 men, according to
the size Of the ship.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-07-28

Men were prohibited to go from one
ship to another, and none could 60
on shore. The fear Of bolshevist in
lection must have been the reason.
But later on, our relations grew more
friendly. The decree never was re-
called. The mail was our only con-
nection with home; out 1t came only
with great delay, since the British
looked over all letters.
Crews Become FESTIVE.
Because of our long imprisonment,
the crews on the various German ships
grew very irritated, and there were
uuarrels between the so-called radical
and moderate elements. Admiral Won
Reuter- arranged with the British ad-
miral for a signal which would serve
to call the British to aid If there should
be any mutiny on a German ship.
when the peace negotiations ap-
preached their end we came to know
that the allies would not return our
vessels to Germany. The English press
spoke about sinking them in a solemn
ceremony in the presence Of all allied
navies.
"The tension among us grew intol-
cradle. We all thought that Germany
would not accept the peace treaty and
that there would be war again on
June 81.

other retaliatory steps taken.
II doubt that we ever worked as in
tensely during the World War as IN
those days Of November, 1918. Our
ships were ready to fight at Utmost a
moments notice; but to demobiliGe
them completely required gigantic
efforts.
ION November II. my ship, the He'll
goland, was completely disarmed.
Thousands of fine yellow bombs lay on
the pier, and our vessel lay fully yard
higher on the water because 1t had
become so much lighter.
THE neutrals, with the exception Of
Spain, didn't seem to want to lodge
our vessels. Finally 1t was said that
the English insisted our vessels should
first be searched in one of their war
harbors and then would be sent 20
some prison.

I'm the patriotic courses which we

sailors often discussed what should

not seem TO exist.
Even when the German request for
an armistice became known we still re

EVANSTON. Ill, November 9.-Danny
Mlia< held a little popularity contest all
by himself In an Evanston jail cell
yesterday. The cause Of his confine-
ment was his overzealous interference
in behalf of James Hurlbut, fellow
Northwestern University student, who
was arrested for speeding.

a pretty coed to the desk sergeant. i've

The sergeant weakened and led her to
Danny's dungeon CELL
Ten minutes elapsed.
I'm Danny Mills sister," smiled an
other coed sweetly. i've brought some
things for his breakfast"
She was permitted to pass a bunch
of grapes through the bars.
And so in the course of time It came
TO pass that 10 co-eds bore their gifts
of cheer and a 10-course' breakfast to
Danny. The desk sergeant, weary and
perhaps a tiny bit jealous, paused at
Danny's cell door to inquire after his
family.
Il haven't a relative within miles"
Danny admitted cheerily.
So Danny languished, solitary, until
his fraternity brothers to prove his
popularity with the other sex, produced
$50 to pay his diSorderly conduct fine.
