WL HOT BE SENT OW TOURS Only One of Ships Capable of Making Voyage Under Own Power and It Would Be Unsafe to Send Her to Sea Again. | fi hington.—Owing to deliberate damage wrought by the crews to the engines and other vithl p of the five ‘ex-German wa ips recently brought fo this country under the peace treaty allocation, nevessitating exten sive repair to make them possible ot ope on, none of the yess will be sent on an exhibition tour coastal cities, as the havy. department hac hoped to do, To making this annotncement. the department included a statement. by Capt. J.P. Hellweg, commanding. offi cer of the convoy which brought: the ex-German warships to Americ, 1s serting that even the dreadnaught Ost frissland, the only one of the five trip under herown power, was in condition on arrival at New York it would be hazardous to send her ts sea again. Calls It Vandalicm, ' Captain Hellweg attributed the con dition of the sips, four of whieh, Ui cruiser Frankfurt and three destroyers, were submerged at Seapa Flow, to “de. liberate vandalism” on the prt of their former man crews, y “The gutted condition in which we found these vessels on‘ taking them over cannot be exaggerated,” he said. “What had not been stolen was wrecked. The vandalism ‘tidicated’ a very careful preparation and the usual thoroughness of the Huns in execu- tion.” i Expressing the belief that the Ost-) friesland had been systematically loot- ed while in the German dockyard for a year after her surrender had been called for, Captain Hellweg also de- clared the presence of an “unnecessar- ily large crew aboard when the dread- naught was brought to Rosyth. Scot- land, indicated in the light of devel- opments that the crew was sent_with a view of looting everything possible en route.” | Causes Many Breakdowns. Not only did the German crews com- mit obvious depredations, Captain Hell- weg declared, but their “preparations for future trouble by removing sections of pipes and valves” were responsible, he said, for numerous breakdowns in the Qstfriesland’s machinery on the “und flooded the fre room when the vessel was a thousand miles from the European coast.“The dreadnought was forced to make most of the voyage, he said, with only one engine running, al- though it towed the Frankfurt all the way. s By bringing back on the deck of the Ostfreisland two 12-inch and two 14- inch guns which had formed a reserve for the lard batteries of the Americar. navy during the war, Captain Hellweg estimated that thore than twice the Y+ amount appropriated to bring the ex- trip across. He cited one instance in which a six-inch pipe line give way Newest Glassware Baking Dishes These new transparent’ baking utensils are proving great favorites with good cooks because they make baking so much easier—en- abling the cook to see the bottom and sides of the cooking food as well as the top. The fact that every dish is so attractive that they can be served direct from the oven to the table is another big point in their favor, Casseroles, covered dishes, open vegetable dish- es, bread dishes, pie plates, ramequims, etc., are among the assortment.

Leading Scientists Are Going to Fin¢ Out if Cattle Can Be Raised H There. Honolulu.—Why do the Fiji island- ers eat canned beef? . The Pan-Pacific scientific congress, composed of more than seventy-five of | the leading \sejentists of the United} States, Canada, Australia, New Zea-| land, Samoa,’ Japan and other coun- tries bordering on the Pacific ocean, struggled with that and other prob- lems during its recent sessions here. The more important half of the knotty question lative to the Fijians and: their dietefiowever, is why don’t they raise-their own cattle instead of eating-finned meat shipped across the océan? If there is anything to prevent cattle raising in the Fiji islands, the con- gress intends to find out what it Is. and, if possible, remove the obstacle. i How Do They Do It?
