SEVENTY-ONE VESSELS ARE

ONE FINAL ACT OF CUSSEDNESS

London.—Nina dreadnoughts, five
battle cruisers, seven light cruisers,
and 60 destroyers, 71 vessels In all,
of the German fleet surrendered to
the allies ware sunk by mutinous Ger-
man crews at their moorings In Scapa
Plow In the Orkneys.
Seeing the Germans hoisting the
old imperial colors on the German
vessels, British warships anchored
near by signalled the Germans to stop
their operations. They refused, where-

upon the British opened fire, killing
som^ of the mutineers and wounding
several others.
The German rear admiral and most
of the crews were taken Into custody.
The German fledt of 71 vessels was
.surrendered Just seven months ngo at
the Firth of Forth. The warships
were taken to Scapa Flow where they
have remained ever since pending de-
cision by the allleB as to their ulti-
mate disposition. Skeleton German
crews were permitted to remain on
board as caretakers and without
guard.
With the exception of the battle-
ship Emden, and a few destroyers,
all the ships went down in a few
minutes.
Von Reuter Takes Blame.
Admiral von Reuter, commander of
the surrendered German fleet per-
sonally ordered Its scuttling In the
belief that the armistice had been
terminated. He says so himself in
the following message to the British
commander:
"I ordered the sinking in the belief
that the armistice was terminated and
following the German navy’s tradition
which knows no surrender.” In the
firing on boats in which German
sailors escaped from the scuttled war-
ships, sir men were killed and ten
wounded.”
Britain must account to the allies
fer whatever loss may have been suf-
fered because she was the self-
appointed receiver for the fleet.
Disposition of the former kaiser’s
armada has never been definitely de-
termined by the allies, although var-
ious suggestions have been advanced,
Including apportionment among the
allies and sinking of the whole fleet
at sea.
Not only is British pride fearfully
hurt by this twelfth hour German
laugh, but the national conscience is
stung because of the responsibility
assumed as curator of the German
fleet. Altogether it is an embarrass-
ing contrast to the joy over the ig-
nominous surrender on November 22,
last.
Wilson To Visit Oklahoma.
Washington.—President Wilson will
visit Oklahoma during his "swing
around the circle” in his appeal to bhe
people In support of the league of na-
tions. Assurances of that prospect
were given to Congressman Joe B.
Thompson, by Joseph P. Tumulty, the
president’s secretary. No indication
of the time ef the Oklahoma visit has
been given hy Beeretary Tumulty ex-
cept to say that It will be “at an early
date.”
Berlin. —Germany will sign
the peace treaty of the allied
and aeioolated power*. The na-
tional swemoiy by a vote or
237 to 138 decided to slon. The

Before the vote of bonfldence
wae taken, Herr Bauer, the new
premier, declared the govern-
ment would algn the treaty but

sponsibility of the German peo-
ple for the war and without sfr
ceptlng the obligations contain-
In article 227 to 230 In the

DEAD IN MINNESOTA.

8wept from Tracks.
Fargo, N. D.—Approximately 200
persona were killed by a tornado that
struck Fergus Fall, Minn., and wiped
out three blocks in the business sec-
tion of the city.
This report was received at the
Great Northern railroad office here
and said that train number 1 had been
blown off the track.
A report from Staples to the North-
ern Pacific here said that the Grand

ed.

Reports of the severe cyclone at

aide to Adjutant General Rhinow, left
on a special train to prepare the way
for r’elief work, Great Northern train

Americana Told To Rush To Border.
El Paso.—Uneasiness for American
citizens In northern Mexico is felt
here. Because of the expedition by
United States troops into Mexico to
disperse Villa’s forces attacking Ju-
arez, it is feared Villa and his men
will attempt reprisals upon American
persons and property in the north of
Mexico. Mormon officials here and In

fore June 30.
Senate Passes Deficiency Bill,
Washington—The senate parsed a

ficiency in the railroad administration.
White Flag Sent Up At Kronstadt
Helsingfors—The fall of Kronstadt,
the naval base of Petrograd, is im-
minent, according to reports received
by naval circles here from Reval, the
capita) of Esthonla. The reports say
that a white flag has been hoisted
over the fortress several times by its
anarchist defenders.
Ohio Bandits Get $50,000.
Cleveland—Five armed bandits
held up the West Cleveland bank and
escaped in a stolen automobile with
i currency estimated at $60,000.
Paris,—The "big four’s” last word
about peace terms was handed to the
German delegation. Its delivery was
delayed by a several hours wrangle
over one of the chief concessions—
civilian control of the occupied Rhine
districts. Again France’s “tiger” won
his point after a long and fiery de-
bate. The concession was stricken
from the amended document.
With the revised treaty Paul Outaa-
ta, secretary of the peace conference,
handed Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau
a 4,500-word "covering" letter, writ-
ten by Clemenceau.
Straight answer.
It is a bitter denunciation of Ger-
many's bickering attitude, a stinging
recapitulation of her war crimes, an
explanation of the treaty modifica-
tions, and—an ultimatum. It tells
the Germans flatly that no further at-
tempts at bargaining will be tolerat-
ed; that they must answer "yes” or
"no" and do so within seven days.
This means that by 8 o'clock on
the evening of June 23 she must no-
tify the powers without any "ifs" and
"buts” and "howevers" whether she
will or will not sign.
After that notification she will have
three additional days <ff grace) in
which to affix ber signature to the
treaty. If her answer Monday Is
“yes," the diplomatic and ceremonial
machinery will be set In motion for
the greatest green table event in his-
tory and the world will have peace
not later than June 26.
War Next 8tep.
If she says "no” Beven days hence,
the peace makers will lay aside their
pens and tell Foch to go ahead. His
sword is sharp and half unsheathed,
ready for the “coup de grace.” Ho
would promptly inform the Germans
by wireless that the armistice is off
and the war will be on again, begin-
ning at 6 o’clock Thursday night, June
26.
Like a judge who, before modifying
a sentence, wlBhes to impress upon
the prisoner the full weight of his
guilt and pound into his brain the fact
that the leniency is really undeserved,
George Clemenceau, premier of France
and president of the peace conference
in a letter of nearly five thousand
words explaining the revised treaty
handed to Germany, lashes the van-
quished empire with a bitter, stinging
indictment lest its former or present
masters, deeming clemency weakness,
rally once more for an attempt to
turn defeat Into triumph
History’s most momentuons peace
document, now revised beyond revis-
ion is thus accompanied by the most
aggressive, the mpst flaying diplomat-
ic note on record, for it covers all the
sins of the foe, all his dark deeds be-
fore and during the war, and all the
reasons why he has been condemhed
and must Buffer for those sins. It is,
at the same time, a sharp rebuke to
the Teuton peace parliamentaries for
"utterly failing to understand the po-
sition in which Germany stands to-
day.”
Gernfany, he says, tried for years
before the war to dictate and tyran-
nize over a subservient Europe.
She taught her subjects the doctrine
that might was right.
She armed feverishly by land and
hy sea and spread the falsehoods that
her neighbors were Jealous of her.
She developed a wide spread sys-
tem of espionage and Intrigue all ovor
the world.
She kept Europe in a ferment py
threats of violence.
She enoouraged Austria to declare
war on Serbia at 48 hours’ notice, ful-
ly aware that the conflict would be-
come general.
She conducted the war in a savage
and inhuman manner.
She violated Belgian neutrality and
systematically terrorized that coun-
try’s inhabitants.
She was the first to use poison gas.
She was the first to bomb and shell
defenceless towns.
She struck at her enemies’ women
and children.
She started the submarine cam-
paign, “with its &!ratical challenge to
international law.”
She “drove thousands of men, wom-
en and children with brutal savagery
into slavery in foreign lands.”
She allowed barbarities against her
prisoners of war “from which the most
uncivilized people would have recoil-
ed."

fishery officer at Mublethorpe informs
me that nf the cod caught on long
lines one in five had bad wounds.
Some were totally blind, others with-
out an eye, and the larger number
were wounded in the body. The Cro-
