EDINBURGH, Thursday, Nov. 21.
(By Associated Press.) Germany,
as a naval power, ceased to exist to
day. The heart of her mighty fleet
14 ships of line, seven light crui
sers and fifty destroyers surrender
ed to an armada of British, American
and French vessels, the greatest
fighting force that ever stood out to
sea.
The minutely detailed program of
submission laid down by the com
mander of the Britsh fleet was car
ried out strictly according to plan.
The German warships, strung out in
a single column almost twenty miles
long, appeared at tho rendezvous at
the appointed time, and were led into
the Firth of Forth between columns
of allied ships which overlapped the
Germans at each end. Tonight the
enctay craft were anchored in the
Klrth, under guard as prisoners.
On Gigantic Scale..
A surrender of such a gigantic
scale has no precedent in naval his
tory. Although the wonderful naval
spectacle was tho samo as a peace
time review and evoked little enthu
siasm, the haze blotting out the hor
izon, American and British officers
could scarcely credit the evidence of
of their eyes. It was an event which
shattered all naval traditions and
Ideals.
Men animated by the spirit of
Lawrence's "Don't Give Up the Ship"
und Kelson's "England Expects
livery Man to Do Ills Duty," could
not conceive of bucIi an inglorious"
fato as that to which the enemy sea
force was submitting. The Asociat
ed Press correspondent standing on
the deck of an American dread
naught heard an officer exclaim:
"Even the poor old Spaniards, know
ing they had rot a chance, came out
o Santiago."
No Klntlon Shown.
But for the most part, both offi
cers and men were silent. They re
alized they were witnessing the cli
macteric act of Germany's downfall.
They knew that tho surendur of
these vesels automatically raised the
United States to second position
among the world's naval powers, but
they showed no elation and seemed
to feel a sort of contemptuous pity
for the fallen giant of tho sea who
had refused to fight. Their imagin
ations dwelt on the foe's shame.
The German ships wero sighted by
the allied columns at !):20 o'clock
docilclv following their British pilot
the light cruiser Cardiff, which with
destroyers and other small craft, had
ranged ahead of tho allied fleet. The
enemy studiously complied with Ad
miral lieatty's orders nnd it was well
for their own sakes that they did
Every vessel steaming out to meet
them flew battle ensigns and was
readv for instant action with Its
men at battle station and guns In po
sition for the prompt annihilation of
the enemy's forces if their mission
proved to be other than peaceful

Five American battleships, the

lliat sincerity of the welcome given

PoPimlar approval was cv"""ss-.1d

American soldiers moved throuu.li the

General Pershing in a proclama
tion assured (he public that the
American army would remain only us
long as was neeessurv and while it
was in Luxemburg would conduct it
self in conformity with the civil laws.
The proclamation was distributed
anions the troops as well as aniouir
the population.
The grand duchess has taken up
her temporary resid -tics in the grand
ducal palace in Luxemburg In order
to bo present when her capital was
occupied by friendly f- rces. It was
there that Brig. Gen. Frank J. Park
er was received when he called to as
sure her of the attitude of the ad
vancing forces.
liocelvcd by Duchess.
The grand duchess is a slightly
built young woman and, attired In a
simplo silk dress, she appeared even
younger than her 2.1 years. She lis
tened to General Parker carefully
and assured him she had no doubt of
the honest and helpful intentions of
the Americans. She repeatedly ex
pressed her gratitude. Afterward
she received Lieut. Col. CJuekemyer,
Captain llellihaft and Lieut. Seuton
of General Parker's staff.
It was explained to the grand
duchess that the greater part of the
American forces would march
around tho city and that only a small
part would enter. She expressed her
delight with the plans and said she
would be very glad to meet General
Pershing.

Whllo Holland cannot doubt that

Some ot tho Dutch newspapers have

"For tho present," it says, per
