PARIS. March 21. (Special.) What
fhall be done with the German war-.-hips?
This question is proving vex
atious and difficult to the counril of
trn which will impose nnai military
:.nd naval term? upon Germany and
which is now trying to formulate those
trims.
Substantially all the provsions of
these features of the treaty have been
approved with th- exception of the dis
position of the Teutonic fleet and the
treatment to he accorded to the Kiel
anal and Heligoland. It is probable
that the American view wiil prevail
.a . ach of these three points, although
there is superficial opposition, seeni
l:iSy widespread, to the destruction of
the (Ji-rmun naval vessels.
I. S. roller Is Oatliard.
For the purpose of making clear the
American attitude and of placing he
roic the public the precise reasons that
underlie our position. I am privileged
to present in this dispatch an authori
tative outline of an official memoran-I-
fluui defining the policy we are urging
i poll the conference. It may be said
that this policy, in all likelihood, will
be finally accepted.
President Wilson, after reading the
memorandum, at once declared it to be
logical and reasonable, and announced
himself as wholly in sympathy with it.
Jt was drawn up by the American naval
iolvi.s. rs. under the direction of Ad
'ijral Ienson. whose work in Paris won
Urn Ho- respect alike of his American
.-sociatcs and of its forcife-n collabora
tors. l'ermllnB .ivra Tell People.
The plan concludes with the general
tendency toward international disarm
ament. In order to brine about good
understanding of the subject of focus
liic attention on It importance, I am
lermitted to lay before readers of The
orgonian the arguments in the niat
:tr in virtually the form that they
hive been laid before the supremo
council. j
l.eforo proceeding It is proper to say
that America will not share in any dis
tribution of the German vessels. It is
important to keep this fact in mind in
reaching conclusions on the subject,
which, according to the American
i.nlysift. resolves itself as follows:
The German war fleet to be surren
dered to the allies and America consists
of 21 battleships, inclusive of three
Austrian ships, six battle cruisers. 13
light cruisers, of which nine are Aus
trian. 1 u 1 destroyers, in which nine
are Austrian, and 1S5 submarines, of
which 15 are Austrian.
Tn Proposals Considered.
Two methods of disposing of the
fieet are under consideration by the
conference, the first being the de
struction and the second the distribu
tion among the various allied powers.
Arguments have been submitted for
ach course, those favoring destruction
being as follows:
The first covenant of the league of
jlHlions. article VIII. says:
"The high contracting parties rec
oi:lc the principle that the mainte
nance of peace will require the reduc
tion of national armaments to the
.ouest point consistent with national
t.ifety."
Instruction of the German and Aus
trian war vessels would furnish prac
:;cal demonstration to the world of the
sincerity of the high contracting
i.irtic3 In their determination to re
duce armaments. IMstribution of the
surrendered fleels would increase the
strength of tht naval armament of the
irreal powers aoout 30 per cent. Great
lltitain. the l'nited states. Japan,
France and Italy have now Sr. dread
naughts antl battle -cruisers. The Ger
man and Austrian'- dreadnoughts and
.'.ttt!e cruisers number 27.
Fleet lleductloa Foreneea.
The second point advance! is that
the removal ot the German-Austrian
i.u-nace of naval power will render un
necessary any increase in the strength
.t' the navies of the other nations of
.Knrope. Indeed, the logical effect of
t!ie elimination of the menace would
be the reduction of European naval
armaments. I
Another point is that the addition
of German and Austrian, ships to the
niivies of the European powers would
lie to increase the economic burden of
tne recipients. As the United triates
is expected to assist financially the
vreat powers of Europe which already
are heavily in our debt, it is our finan
cial interest to oppose any unneces
sary additions to their financial obli
ge t ions.
The fourth point in the argument is
t'lat the distribution of the German
iti.l Austrian vessels r.-ouM cause uis
. iiisfaclfon and jealousy in the states
t-i.it were not satisfied with their re
tcctiYe shares and would tend to
;miulate armament construction, in
order to restore the former relative
l.aval strength.
Mawy Qaeatloaa lavolved.
It would be physically impossible to
r.iake a distribution among the powers
titat would be regarded as equitable.
The surrendered ships are of varied
tpe and of greatly varying value, and
.o the question would not be one of
numbers, but it would involve many
vaval intricacies.
A fifth point is that the L'nited States
should not participate in the distribu
tion. America was proud to enter the
v.ar with rlean hands, and will come
out with empty hands. We cannot
stultify our position by accepting any
of the spoils of war.
It is essential that the l'nited States
have a navy as large as that of Great
Jtnlain. The league of nations must
.e strong enough to restrain, if neces
sary, its strongest member.
The 1'nited, States has satisfieti its
aim and may be relied upon to sup
port loyally the league of nations. Na
tions of the world know this and have
'aith In us. ?iiouul we ever tail in
our international obligations

necessity.

Any distribution of the Gorman ships

platoon failed. Acting upon his own
initiation. Corporal Stearns made his
waj- along the river in the face of the
deadly fire, and for one hour1 reconnoi
tered the enemy's positions, reporting
back to his commanding officer with
information of the greatest value.
Colonel Edward R. Stone. 23d infan
try. Tacoma, Wash., has been cited for
bravery in action near Medeah farm,
France, October 3-10. 1918. Throughout
the heavy fighting near Medeah farm
Colonel Stone was at all times in the
most exposed position, going over the
top with his regiment four times in
seven days, after all his battalion com
manders had been killed. He repeated
ly refused to go to a place of safety
during the most severe bombardments,
even after being seriously gassed.
Private Harry L. Causland, company
I, 357th infantry, of Anacortes. Wash.,
was killed in action near Bantheville,
France, October 24. 1918. Private Caus
land was acting as ammunition carrier
for a machine gun which was support
ing a raid on the enemy by the infan
try. While this gun was being operated
from a shell hole, its ammunition be
came exhausted, and the corporal called
back to the carriers, who were in shell
holes 25 yards behind, to bring up more
ammunition. Though the gun position
was under heavy enemy fire. Private
Causland called out, "I'll take it," and

munition. Just as he reached the em
placement with the ammunition he was
killed instantly by a machine-gun bul
let. For the extraordinary heroism
here displayed a distinguished service
cross has been awarded, which will be

LGermans Delay Measures for 'Land

BT JAMES M. TUOHY.

lislied by Arrangement.!
PARIS, March 21. (Special cable.)
The Polish question is still causing
anxiety, as the Ukranians are on the
point of driving the Poles out of Lem
berg, having broken the armistice ar
ranged at the instance of the allies.
In the meantime, as the Germans are
still delaying measures for landing the
Polish divisions from France at Danzig,
it is probable that the landing will be
effected under the cover of an allied
fleet when the ships are available to
transport the Polish divisions from
France. Lord Robert Cecil's definite
declaration that the preliminaries to
peace must, to be effective for their
purpose, include the covenant of the
league of nations, followed by his an
nouncement that he was not speaking
for himself only, but for the entire
British delegation, has been ignored by
the French papers today.
The suggestion, on the other hand, is
thrown out In French official circles
that no decision has yet been taken as
to whether, after all, the final mili
tary and naval terms may not be sepa
rated from the financial and economic
terms and adopted not as "prelimi
naries of peace," but as the "final
armistice."
The effect of such a separation would
be to adopt the most urgent section
of the preliminaries, which perhaps it
is calculated would deprive the league
of nations covenant of the driving force
which had compelled Us inclusion in
the preliminaries of peace.
However, there is no reason to sup
pose that either President Wilson or
Premier Lloyd George will agree to
any such proposal, even If made at
the conference. Foreign Minister
Pichon intends to issue a statement
explaining away the opinion he ex
pressed on Monday that it would be
impossible to incorporate the, covenant
in the preliminaries.
