BRITISH NAVY COMMISSION'S WORK.

London, Dec. 27. The Press Bureau has issued an account of the allied Naval Commission's work in German waters. The Commise on was headed by Vice-Admiral Sir Montague Browning, anu întrunet vist Lyan-hard fuckbean, French, Japanese and Haitan naval men, watback by notable Britian and American technical experts. The Commission left the Firth of Forth on Liec, 3 aboard the Hercules, escorted by four destroyers. The following day it passed a mixed lot of German ships going to Scapa Flow which were making up the shortage in the agreed delivery. These included the battleship Konig, the light cruiser Dresden, two Norddeutscher Lloyd trans- ports and a destroyer. The Commission was met at the appointed spot by a German Cominission, headed by Rear Admiral Goette and including Captain von Muller of the first Emden which was beaten by the Sydney. The Commis sion was delegated to inspect the German warships and kumarak akik muay kumwuum.

A Sub-Commission visited the Nordholz Zeppelin Station whence all raiders for England started. Here they saw the famous L14 which visited England twenty four times. A memorable occasion was the passage through the Kiel Canal of the Hercules, the first British battleship ever to do so. In the course of her passage the Hercules was warmly greet- ed by British war prisoners on the banks. The great expéri mental air station at Warnemuade was visited under Ger- man protest. The submarine Commission discovered scores. of U-boats mostly nearing completion, hitherto undeclared by the Germans and arrangements were made to take them over despite Admiral Goette's strong protests.
