EDITORS' SHARP CRITICISM

Tarls, .Tune 21 Newspaper comment
in some cases shows much bitterness
over the acts of those whom the Figaro
calls "a perjured race with no respect
for their plighted word."
Some criticism is directed at the Brit
ish Admiralty, the .lournnl sajlng: "No
article in the armistice forbade the
maintenance of British gunrds nboard
the (in man ships."
!,'()( un sajs the fate of the German
ships was iliat proposed for them by the
British (iofi-nment.
"German' " snjs the IActlon Frnn
cnie, "ma one day, if we nre not
careful, truttle the league of nations ns
she scuttled the fleet. Premier Moyd
George nnd Sir Ilobcrt Cecil will be just
as much responsible that day as nre now
tho authorities at Scapa Flow."
It is likely that tho whole subject
will come up tor discussion In Parlia
ment. Viscount Gustavc dc Kcrguczec, mem
ber of the naval committee of the Chnm-
ber of Deputies, told the budget com
mittee of the chamber yestcrdny that he
had warned the French ministry of ma
rine previously that the Gcrmnn fleet
interned in Scapn Flow was not being
watched with sufficient care.
The budget committee then decided to
ask Premier Clcmcnceau for further In
formation on the subject ot tho sink
ing of the ships nnd the steps the
French Government proposed to take to
have the loss made good.
By tho Associated Tress
Iindon. June 24. The German Ad
miralty denies a rumor in circulation
In Paris nnd elsewhere that the Ger
mans had sunk the remainder of their
warships in German hnrbors.
Admiral von Beutcr, In command of
the Gcrmnn fleet scuttled nnd sunk in
the Scapa Flow, will be court-martialed
for having broken the armistice condi
tions, says the Dail Mail today.
The newspaper adds that the details
ot the trial of the admlrnl will be ar
ranged by the allied council In Paris.
Three of the German wnrshlps which
their crews attempted to sink nt Scapa
Flow Saturday have been benched and
the Baden Is' moored In readiness for
beaching, It was announced officially to
dav. There Is every prospect of salving
the ships In good condition If the ncccs- I
s ary nppnratus arrives before bad
weather sets in. The ships Deacncu nre
the cruisers Emdcn, Frankfurt and
Nurnbcrg.
Two destroyers arc afloat nnd eighteen
have been beached. It is added that
there is no prospect of saving tho other
destroyers without elaborate operations.
