"Another pointing said "See how the German Navy goes down with Rags flying." This is untrue as the British boarded most of the ships, hauling down the flags. There were 6 to 10 casualties among the Germans by firing. The British Fleet was at sea at the time and was promptly recalled. It is announced that the anchorage at Seaps is not seriously block-. ed. Most of the ships are lying in twenty fathome. It i not proposed to salvage them. It is authoritatively stated- that the conditions of the interument of the flisef were laid down by the Inter-Allied Council hence the responsibility, of placing German crews aboard rests equally with all the Allies. Some papers are very angry and talk of von Renter being liable to the death penalty or imprisonment and demand that Germany pay the value of the fiset and clear Scapa Harbour at her own cost: but the general opinion. while condemnatory of the stupid and rannta breach of the Armistice, is that the ships are good riddance,--

Paris, June, 24.

The Council of Three referred the sinking of the Gencan ship to a commission ef-experts to determing whether the Armistice conditions have "been violated.” Apparently the unaritious" opinion of the Conference is that the burning of the French battle-flags, is a distinct violation of the Treaty, inasmuch as the Treaty stipulated their return to France. Probably a commission will be appointed to consider. : action thereon.

It is reported in Conference circles that the Germans have sunk the remainder of their warships lying in German barbours
