LONDON, March 16 Sir Eustace Deyncourt, in a speech at the Institute of Naval Architects, furnished new Hight on the problem of the future utility of the battleship, Sir Eustace Dayncourt, who co-operated in designing a number of the war ships participating in the Jutland Aght, pointed out that with the exception "of the "Lutzow," which was first disabled by gunfire, no capital, ship on wither side dated later than the dreadnought was sunk diring the war by torpedo. He emphasised that this fact should be remembered by those * urging the vulnerability of the battleship to torpedoes. Furthermore, he pointed out that the Germans during the war completed 380 submarines of which 200 were destroyed, while during the last ten months the destruction of submarines practically caught up with the construction. These facts needed consideration by those who advocated submarines to replace war skips.

"REVOLUTION A PAINFUL MISUNDERSTANDING.”

LONDON, March 16.

The Russian trade delegation has made a statement contradicting the reports that the Kronstadt revolutionaries have been shelling Petrograd, declaring that the Soviet throughout has treated the revolution as a

painful misunderstanding. Accordingly they tried to secure a settlement peacefully. The delegation says the guns of Krasnayagorka could have wiped out Kronstadt in 24 hours. The rebellious sailors are already regretting their action and it is anticipated that the trouble will be overcome shortly.

GERMANY DURNED.

A PEREMPTORY NOTE.

LONDON, March 16, Article 235 of the peace treaty, stipulating that Germany must pay the Réparations Commission twenty milliards of gold marks before May, 1921 to cover the cost of the armies of occupation, any balance being devoted to liquidation of the indemnity, has given rise to an exchange of notes lasting since March last year. The Reparations Commission's last note pointed out that Germany had paid only eight miliards, to which Germany replied tersely that she had fulfilled her engagements under ärticle 235. The Commission has now despatched a peremptory note demanding payment of the remaining twelve milliards before May 1st, and a first instalment of

ore milliard before March 23.
