THOSE GERMAN BOATS
Four of the five German
warshipc allocated to the
United States for experi
mental purposes were in the
thick of the fighting at the
battle of Jutland, according
to naval intelligence records.:
The vessels are now at New
York, having arrived today
from Brest, France, under
a clause of the treaty which
provides that they must be
destroyed within one year of
the time of their arrival in
American waters.
The light cruiser Frank
fort, now a wreck in machin
ery and towed to the United
States by the transport Han
cock, was the first ship in
the German battle line when
it collided with the British
grand fleet, while the 22,000
ton dreadnaught Ostfries-j
land was the ninth ship ini
the line, immediately in the
rear of the flagship of the
German commander-in-chief, j
Admiral Scheer.
Of the three destroyers,
all of which were towed over
as a result of their submer
sion with the German fleet
at Scapa F low, the G-102
and the V-43 were in the
forefront of the fighting in
the naval engagement.'
Leading a division of four;
scout cruisers that were the;
brunt of the British fire atj
the beginning of the engage-1
ment, the Frankfurt, fl a g-J
ship of Rear Admiral Brod
icker, was hit four times,
but with a small calibre pro
jectile in each instance and
in the fight to the finish.
The third cruiser behind her
was sunk at the opening of
the engagement. The Frank
fort, which has a speed of
28 knots, is believed to have
participated also in raids on
the British coast.
Although she was well up
in line and her 12-inct guns
worked throughout contact
with the British fleet,the
d r e a dnaught Ostfriesland,
fl a g s h ip of Vice Admiral
Schmide, commanding battle
squadron No. 1, escaped
without a major blow, so for
as naval records disclose, but
was damaged later by hitting
a mine during the withdraw
al to the German base.
Of the two destroyers, the
G-102 was with the scouting
forces, close to the Frank
furt, at the opening of the
battle. She took part in the
destroyer attack on the Brit
ish battle cruiser divisions
at 4:30 P. M., and later in
the general engagement with
British destroyers sent out
to cover the battle cruisers.
The V-43 also was in the en
gagement,, in the thick of
the fight and was included
' in the flotilla that launched
the destroyer attack under
cover of which the German
fleet began its withdrawal.
The third destroyer in the!
group, the S-122, is believed
to have been completed at
the close of the war. j
The warships will be open-j
ed to public inspection with-!
in a short time at New York
and the navy department is
formulating plans to send
them to other ports. As only
the Osfriesland i s able t o
proceed under her own pow
er, however, she may be the
only one of the group sent
on an exhibition tour. The
three destroyers are to be
sent to Norfolk within two
weeks.
During the trans-Atlantic
trip Captain Julius K Hell
weg, United States navy,
was in charge of the fleet.

A certain judge, after passing
sentence, always gave advice to pris- j
oners. Having before him a man ■
found guilty of stealing, he started ;
thus:
“If you want to succeed in this!
world you must keep straight. Now, i
do you understand?”
“Well, not quite,” said the pris- j
oner “but if your lordship will tell
me Hbw a man is to keep straight
when he is trying to make both ends
meet, I might.”—Tit-Bits.
