Copenhagen, Nov. 19.—The section of the Kiel fleet which has started for the North Sea to surrender to the Allies com-i prises the* battleships Bavcrn.j Grosser Kurfuerst, Kronprinz Wilhelm, Markgraf, Konig Al bert and Kaiserin and the cruisers Seydlitz and Moltke. London, Nov. 19.—The program for the surrender of the German fleet as the result of conferences held be- i tween British and German naval j authorities, Is that the ships will j leave German ports on Wednesday , t and will be taken over by the Allies j a on Thursday. King George and the ; ~ Prince of Wales will review the : grand fleet at Rosyth on Wednes- i day. Later the fleet will sail for the ! rendezvous assigned for the >sur- | render ceremony. The Times naval correspondent writing of the subject of the sub- I mission of the fleet, says: Surrender to Be Impressive "The surrender in accordance with 1 the armistice conditions will be made ! to a force in which the navies of France and America, as well as our I own, are represented. In its out- j ward signs the business cannot fall j to be impressive. "The appearance of the long lines of vessels to be surrendered, carry- j Ing reduced crews and no armament; 1 the method of their transference to i the allied escorts; the exchange of | flags on t\ie German ships when thut i happens und the striking of the col ors which have replaced the imper ial ensign, the ancient token of yielding, will be among the more interesting features of the manifes tation. There is another significance which attaches to this act of sub mission, for it represents the non fulfillment of one of the principal purposes for which the German navy was created —to protect Germany's sea trade and colonies.

No tickets will be required and admission will be free. Major Gray, who has conducted many big water way projects In re cent years, has spent all his leisure (luring the past few months In gath ering data on the Susquehanna prob lem, and is convinced that the river can be made navigable' for seagoing craft for miles above Harrisburg at a cost that would not be prohibitive. The Idea, of course, is to have tile government, ussisted by the Com monwealth, perhaps, do Ihe work, while Interest in the project Is to be aroused by a series of such meetings as will be held this evening.
