After fifty months nf xvar, a high slate

humane and restrained leadership can
prevent disaster and assure the goal of

Germany has surrendered on terms
that place her -absolutely at the mercy
of the victors. The only limit to xxhat
may be done, to or xxith her is some
excess containing the danger ot re

superiority of the Allies. The masses

In his policy as they understand it and

Tn a little wooded hay of the Bosporus

fjneben. of notorious 'history. The Qoe-

has a Turkish admiral. Arlr Paaha, on

a major general, 1 visited her
What has chiefly damaged the ship ls
mines, of which she hit five, two In
the Black Sea carlv In the war and
three during her sortie and attack on
the British monitors outside the Dar
danelles lnsl spring. In each case the
outer hull of the ship wag blown In,
hut the Inner bulkhead hold and, thanks
to the excellent construction of, the Goe
ben nnd the multitude of her xvater
tlght compartments, the damage was
localized to paps In the outer hull and
the flooding of the compartments around
them
We went down Into the stokeholds to
see the bent Inner bulkheads. The Ger
mans had great confidence In the re-
1 aStnnre of their materials
The curv
ing plates of steel are not even sup
ported by Dinner bulks against the pres
sure of xx liter beyond them. The effect
of these punrtutes of her outer hull Is,
howexer, to reduce the Freed of .the
(loeben piohahly to fifteen knots, so
that as a righting unit she haa lost a
great denl of her quality.
When the (ietmatis left her on No

of the ship and her engines, ao that
the Tuiklsh crew aboard can only find
out the details of hetf mechanism by ac- 1
tual inspection The Germans carried j
off. ton. all fire control and other sclen- ,
tiflc Instruments, so as to make the ship
useless for as long as possible. '
From the Turkish officers on hoard I i

sortie frnm the Dardanelles xvhen she i

The Germans alone knexv the aim of
