The writer went on a sightseeing expedition under 'the ausplees of a couple of Polish guides, On trying to enter a certain building the party found every diffiulty put in its way, until two of its members explained discreetly that they were leaving for London in a few. hours.

Hebrides May Renew Kelp 'Manufacture Oban, Scot.--About 70 years ago, the manufacture of kelp from sea- weed was an important industry in the Hebrides. ' Two experts, repre- senting important French interests, have just luded an of some parts of the Hebridean coast, with a view to arriving at a decision as to the prospects of reviving the kelp industry in the Western Isles. These experts believe that, as the ex- act type of seaweed needed for the findustry grows in great abundance on rocks adjacent to the coast of the isles; the industry if comducted ef: ficiently "would undoubtedly be suc- cessful, Formerly the -kelpers of the Heb- rides cut the seaweed off the rocks and towed it to shore, but later the workers used weed torn by the waves oft the rocks. According to the visit |ing experts, the seaweed should be cut off the rocks to secure the best chemical yield, and rock surfaces at different points of the coast were in- d to discover whether a weed: there are ' certain ic issues cutting machine as used by kelpers in which cause are aroused by the 1 Progress of the ups start port of Gdynia created on Polish soil not 20-miles away, They also re- sent somewhat the "intrusion" of Po- Heh business men., Reasons for Rivalry Among the major questions which haye agitated Polish-Danzig relations may be cited the affair of the pillar boxes--trival in itself, but involving Samplers will collect ooze from the sea floor.

Mothers who keep a box of Baby's Own Tablets in the house may feel that the lives of their little ones are reasonably safe during the hot wea- ther. Stomach troubles, cholera in- fantum and diarrhoea carry off thous- ands of little ones every summer, in most cases because the mother does not have a safe medicine at hand to give promptly. Baby's Own Tablets relieve these troubles, or if given oc- cagionally to the well child they will prevent their coming on. The Tab- lets are teed to be absol harmless even to the mew-born babe.

The Germans Hoped To Retain Navy After Armistice Sailor Describes Scene Scapa Flow as Allied Ves- sels Surrounded Fleet Men of Verge of Mutiny Long Imprisonment Let to Quarrels Aboard Craft Berlin.--On June 2}, 1919, Admiral von Reuter ordered the sinking of the German battleships which were at Scapa Flow. Richard Stumpf, a sail or, describes in the 'Vossiche Zei- tung," - Berlin, this' event: "In the 'patriotic courses' which we had to submit to in the fall of 1917 we sailors often discussed what should happen to the English fleet 'after our victory. Some thought we should use the British battleships to increase the German navy, while others, the mod- erates, pleaded for sinking all enemy ships. = Any other possible solution did not seem to exist. "Hven when the German request for an armistice became known we still remained so incredibly naive. The enemy demanded that our battleships should remain locked up in neutral harbors. We thought: "After peace has come the ships will go home again.' 'This optimism prevailed even after the united Allied navies had locked us up in the Firth of Forth, "A manifesto of the "chief of the navy, countersigned by the chief of the 'Soldiers' Council, decreed on November 18, 1918, that all battle- ghips should be disarmel within a 'week. If this condition were not ful filled Heligoland would be ied by the Allies and other retaliatory steps taken, "I doubt that we ever worked as in- tensely during the World War as in those days of November, 1918. Our ships were ready to fight at ®lmost a moment's notice; but to demoblilize them ompletely required gigantic ef- forts. "On November 17, my ship, the Heli- goland, was completely disarmed. Thousands of fine yellow bombs lay on the pier, and our vessel lay fully a yard higher on the water because it had become so much lighter. "The neutrals, with the exception of at \ Suan, didn't seem to want to lodge vessels.

The decree never was re- called. The mail was our only con- nection with home; but it came only with great delay since the British looked over all letters, "Because of our long imprisonment the crews on the various German ships grew very irritated, and there were quarrels between the so-called radical and moderate elements, Ad- miral von Reuter arranged with the 'British admiral for a signal which would serve to call 'the British to aid if there should be any mutiny on a German ship "When the peace megotiations ap- proached their end we came to know that the Allies would mot return our vessels to Germany. The English press snoke about sinking them in a solemn cerémony 'n the presence of all Allied navies. "The tehsion among us grew intol- erable. We all thought that Germany would not accept the peace treaty and that there would he war again on June 21; "It .was easy to sink our battleships. A single man could do that. He Just had to open the valves, turn one cer- streamed in, In peace times we had practiced that a good many times and had accomplished it in half a minute. "So we hol.ted the war flag at noon on June 21, and a few minutes later our ships sank. Unfortunately, the British fired, because they were so ox- cited, and six sailors were killed."
