TWO BRITISH ADMIRALS
FOR 1 FIRST TIME
LONDON, April 13 (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—The
British government disregarded all
precedents and created two unique
situations when it elevated Lord Jel
licoe and Sir David Beatty to be ad
mirals of the fleet at the same time.
Neved had a man of Beatty’s age—18
years—-been so honored and never
had two British admirals of the fleet
flown the flag at the same time. In
fact in the past 100 years only three
admirals of the fleet had flown their
flags at all.
It is a tradition in the British navy
that if an officer is promoted to ad
miral of the fleet when on sea duty he
is relieved as soon as practicable and
never again is assigned to the sea. In
this case Beatty’s flag was hoisted for
only four days intervening between
his appointment and the disbanding
of the grand fleet. Jellicoe had the
distinction of spreading his flag to
the breeze from the mast of the New
Zealand, on which his making a trip
almost around the world.
One of the three other occasions
in the last century when admirals of
the British fleet have been at sea
was when Sir Edward Seymour took
the Inflexible to New York in 1909 for
the intercentenary celebration.
NEW GERMAN ARMY IS
COMPARATIVELY SMALL
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF
OCCUPATION, April 9 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The strength of the
new German army or Reichswehr has
provisionally been fixed at 241,500
men, according to information re
cently reaching American officers in
charge of keeping tab on the demob
ilization and readjustment of enemy
formes. There are to be Sixteen large
and eleven small brigades, the large
brigade to have 10,462 men each and
the small brigades 5,839 men each.
Corps troops are to number 5,458 and
general headquarters troops about 10,
000 men, according to the present
plans.
Now that the 1899 classes of the old
Germany army is rapidly being dis
charged from1 all units excepting a
few in the guard corps and on the
eastern front, there soon will remain
in the garrisons throughout Germany
only two classes of troops—the hfpr
and Independent volunteer units Mil
the volunteer remnants of the old
army units. Some of the volunteer
units for the Reichswehr but In ma|ipr
other instances it is apparent they u»
simply drifting, awaiting some de
cision by the war ministry as to thair
future. Reports that the war ntift.
lstry is planning to maintain small
gcrlsons in every town indicate the
possibility that these remnants are to
remain in the old departments, rathtf
than be transferred into the new vol
unteer units.
