great plume Of smoke rose over the
wreck. Then a second explosion,
and third, and the Admiral Graf
Spec settled to her death with
flames bursting above her.
German Minister Otto Langmann
charged the Uruguayan deadline
had given the Graf Spec only a
period of l hour and As minutes
between 6:l5 pm. and pm. in
which to sail.
She could not sail before 6:15 last
night, he contended, because the
British merchant ship Dunston
Grange had sailed at that hour the
night before, and international law
prohibits a belligerent warship from
leaving neutral harbor within "A
hours after an enemy merchantmen.
The other limit was the Uruguay
an deadline for leaving, or facing
internment.
Protest Disclosed.
The German Legation disclosed q
protest to Uruguay, describing as q
fragrant violation of international
right and usages," the Uruguayan
governments refusal to give the
Graf Specs commander time he
deemed necessary to make his war
ship seaworthy.
Capt. Langsdorff himself, in q
note to DR.. Langmann from the bat

the odor Of burned fuel oil was
almost overwhelming.
From the tower Of Montevideo's
tallest building the Graf Spec could
be seen first to move out of the
harbor limits as though headed
toward sea, where powerful tele-
scopes could see a British cruiser
identified by one official as the
10,000-ton Cumberland-on patrol.
How many allied ships waited to
engage the Graf Spec had she made

sides the Cumberland, however, 1t

But when miles offshore and still
well within Uruguayan territorial
waters, the German warship went
hard to Starboard. She moved slow

coma in her wake. Then she ap-
peared to anchor as q pair of tugs
from Buenos Aires, one Of them tow
ing a barge, drew alongside.
Through telescope it appeared
that seabagS and small bundles of
supplies were being thrown into the
barge. Within a few moments, the
crewmen came tumbling overheard
into the barge, the tugs and the
launches. They swiftly moved

the issue of what to do about her,
left to Uruguay the bitter protest of
Capt. Langsdorff that she had left
him mo other solution ''' than to
sink my ship"
Left to all the American republics
was the question of representations
to the European wars belligerents to
avoid repetition of the sea battle
within their 300-mie neutrality belt.
Ship Is Scuttled.
Forced by an expiring Uruguayan
time limit to leave her neutral ref
uge, the Graf Spec headed toward
the sea at 6 pm. 4:30 pm, E. S. IT,.
One hour and Is minutes later, a
thunderous explosion in the bows
sent flames and smoke towering to
the sky.
Two more rumbling blasts quickly
followed. They echoed for many
miles and sent thousands of startled
Uruguayans to their rooftops to wit
ness what they thought was a Sec
ond great naval battle off Americas
shores.
In minutes-at 7:28 pm. 6:5S
pm. E. s. T0-the Graf Spec was
scuttled ship, a fearful, burning
hulk, steaming and kissing under Is
feet of water.
All Montevideo saw or heard her
blow up, the Nazi swastika still
proudly flying, as a sunset haze
drifting in from the sea was about
to hide her from the shore and
from the guns of British warships
waiting below the horizon.
Second Series Of Blasts.
Soon only her superstructure
showed, and even this sank from
view about half hour later when
a second series of explosions shot
a column of fame and smoke from
the wreckage, apparently as flames
reached munitions and fuel un-
touched by the first blasts.
The ebbing tide early today un-
covered parts of bow, stern and
some remaining superstructure An
Associated Press correspondent,
making a two-hour launch trip
around the water grave, found the
Graf Spec almost split in two, but
still upright.

Examined by Board.
The Admiral Graf Spec had been
examined by an Uruguayan naval
board after reaching here five days
ago, shot-torn from battle and bear
ing SO dead. The board considered
u hours sufficient to patch her hull
and make her navigable.
Pilots ashore said the Graf Spee
sank directly in the path taken by
shallow draft vessels between hel
and Buenos Aires, up the river.
The scuttling left the allies with
two more of the Admiral Graf
Specs sea-raiding sisters-the
Deutschland and the Admiral
Scheer-still free to roam shipping
lanes on scattered seas.

has been q rallying point for many
anti-Roosevelt Democrats, friends
declared that he approves many New
Deal objectives.
There were indications that, as
far as Mr.. Garner Is concerned, his
relations with the President will re-
main at least outwardly harmonious.
Many administration followers, how
ever, have been critical of his can
didacy, and John L. Lewis, G. I. O.
president, denounced him last sum-
mer as a labor batting, poker
playing, whisky drinking, evil old
man"
No Comment From President.
Mr.. Garner, now on a four-day
deer hunt in Texas, is expected to
return here shortly before Congress
meets January 3. His managers plan
to seek delegates in States where
no favorite son" is in the running.
For example. in Indiana, where
Paul v. McNutt has the backing of
the State Democratic organization,
the Garner forces at the most would
ask for only second choice support.
Mr.. McNutt has said he would with
draw from the presidential race If
Mr.. Roosevelt should run again.
There was no comment from the
President on Mr.. Garner's announce
ment, just as there has been no
hint of the Chief Executives views
on a third term. Washingtonians
last month were predicting that Mr..
Roosevelt might disclose his attitude
in speech at the Democratic jack
son Day dinner on January 8, but
the prevalent opinion now is that
he will delay any such statement.
Senator Norris, Independent, of
Nebraska, who headed the National
Progressive League in Mr. Roose-
velt's 1882 and 1886 campaigns, re-
Gently advised the President not to
disclose his third term stand lest
it weaken his influence in a chang
ing world situation.
Norris Suggested as Head.
Although no formal conferences
have been held about reviving the
league, Mr.. Hildreth, a trans
planted North Dakotan who has
engaged in law practice here since
World War days, said it had been
indirectly suggested" that Senator
Norris again head the organization
Among those who have been as
sociated with the league in the past
are Secretary Ickes, Donald r. Rich

administrator; Oscar L. Chapman,

and Justice Frankfurter Of the Su-

personal pledges not to participate
further in the war.
Uruguayan gunboats patrolled
near the tangled wreckage of the
Graf Spec which her officers de-
stroyed on the personal order of
Adolf Hitler in compromise be-
tween possible suicidal battle and
tnternment.
Ironically, the floating oil which
surrounds the smouldering battle
ship formed a rough swastika.
Although it took only three min
utes to scuttle the battleship, once
pride Of the German navy, new ex-
plosions shook the wreckage
throughout today.
The embittered Capt. Hans Langs-
dorff, who himself carried the cable
firing the internal mines dropping
his ship into the mud of the river,
left the scene last night with his
crew for Buenos Aires.
Late in the morning the British
cruiser Achilles, which was one of
three ships that battered the Graf
Spec last Wednesday, drew near
the smoking wreck while British
sailors peered over the rail at their
one-time adversary.
Destruction at German hands ap-
parently was the middle course for
the Graf Spec. It spared the lives
of more than 1000 sailors who would
have faced almost sure death had
their commanders chosen to let their
patched-up ship brave the cannon
OF British warships lying in wait
outside the Montevideo breakwater.
Saves German Naval Pride.
It saved German naval pride the
ignominy Of seeing the once mighty
Graf Spec out of battle for the rest
of the war, tied up in internment by
Uruguay.
Too, it seemed the choice of pru-
dence. Safely hidden beneath the
waves were the secrets the Germans
had built into this fighting ship
10000 tons of speed and power.
Before the Graf Spec went under
apparently broken almost in two,
every member of the crew which
went out to scuttle her had reached
safety.
The master of the freighter Ia
coma, which took off a number of
the Specs crew, was arrested last
night for violating a port-closing
order when his ship, which had fol-
lowed the Graf Specs course, re-
turned here.
The Graf Specs chief engineer
and three members of the crew who
were among the last to leave the
ship were brought into the port
captains Office under government
arrest. Officials said they were
wanted for questioning about exactly
how the blasting was done.
Six Chinese cooks from the Graf
Spec were brought into port aboard
the Uruguayan minelayer Lavalleja
and arrested.

had cost Great Britain nine mer-
chantmen, although it disposed of

~ the Associated Press
Amid Capital discussion of Vice
President Gamers formal entrance
into the Democratic presidential
race, 1t was disclosed today that
the National Progressive League
may be revived to back President
Roosevelt for third term.
The league is composed Of Demo-
Gratis and independent Republicans
who worked for Mr.. Roosevelt's
election in 1892 and 1896. Melvin
D. Hildreth, executive secretary,
told reporters:
Quite a number of us hope to
continue the league in 1910, and, we
hope, for Mr.. Roosevelt. We have
q great deal of respect for Mr.. Gar
ner, but we've got to look at the
situation from the worlds angle
what's going to happen a year from
now"

months. and his acquiescence had
been taken for granted here.
Several Points Arouse Interest.
There were several points in his
44-word statement, however, which
aroused special interest in political
circles:
l. Mr.. Garner is the first Demo-
crat to seek the nomination openly
who did not indicate that he would
step aside if Mr.. Roosevelt decided
to run again.
2. He said II will make no effort
to control any delegates" leaving the
impression in the mind of many
politicians that he would decline
to enter into any trades or become
merely stalking horse" for an.
other candidate.

within the allowed time.
II must state" he declared, that
the ruling Of the council of ministers
of the Republic of Uruguay forces
me to abandon the port of Monte
video with a ship which has not
been repaired in the manner neces-
sary for security of navigation Of
the same.
ITO sally onto the high seas would
mean, therefore, negligently endan-
gering q crew composed of more
than a thousand men. Wherefore,
I emphasize again that do not refer
to danger due to any action Of the
enemy, but only exclusively to the
general dangers Of navigation"
Charges Repairs Impeded.
Capt. Langsdorff also charged that
Uruguay had impeded repairs within
the time limit, declaring that "the
contractor and personnel encharged
with the repairs were prevented at
6 pm. on the 10th day of December,
by the customs authorities, from
getting on board for several hours" "
Only after German Intervention,
he said, were they permitted aboard.

MEMBER NATIONAL WARM
AIR HEATING 4 AIR C0NDI-
TIONING ASSOCIATION

Many families put off cleaning
operations on their heating appa-
ratus until it's time to start the
furnace again in the fall. It's much
better, and in the long run more
economical, says the National
Warm Air Health 7 and Air Con-
ditioning Association, to make one
complete job OF it, as part of the
regular spring house cleaning. This
is especially true if you plan, as
more and more people are doing,
to use the warm air heating system
for summer cooling, and eventual
ly for year-'round air conditioning.
The principal operation for this,
with a gravity warm air heating
system, is to install a blower fan
in the return air duct, and to open
,, tho duct itself to the cellar, SHUT
ing off upstairs intakes. Ii cool
ing coils or a refrigerating unit
are also desired, they can be put
in at the same time; but the curcu-
lation through the upstairs rooms
of air cooled in the cellar will
often alleviate discomfort to "a
surprising extent. While work of
this kind is being done, it is more
convenient and costs little more,
Ito have the furnace man clean the
entird system thoroughly. One of
the points, often neglected, which
should be inspected and cleaned as
soon as the fire goes out, is the
water pan or humidifier. This is
especially important in a hardwa-
ter neighborhood, as calcium de-

Emo Rapee. conductor of the

Radio City Music Hall and for many
years a leading member of the

Authors and Publishers, believes the
American people are more receptive
to new ideas in music than any
other people in the world. In his
opinion it is the theatre orchestras
that are largely responsible. Spe-
cializing in serious music, they
paved the way for the steady growth
of symphony organizations in this
country. In twenty-five years the
number of symphony ~orchestras in
the United States has increased
from a scant half dozen, represent

forty located in every section OF the
