(HI Plot of Military Caste.
Hinto have come from Germany j
within the last few days that the mili
tary caste there would not be averse;
to bringing about a military siluation
within the former empire that would
J"J embarrass the allies in putting the
peace treaty into effect, and it seems'
hS I not improbable that the move made
02i by the ex-crown pnnre is connected 1
PSMJ i vjh some sijeh plan.

signing of the armistice last Novem

Two days before the armistice was'
iie signed, a decree is: u d by ihe German j
imperial chancellor, Prince Max of
Baden, announcing a decision of the !
Httl' former German emperor to abdicate,
Stated:
tr;; "The imperial chancellor will remain 1
in office until the questions connected '

I This generally was yr re pled as an
official announcement of the crown ;
prince's intention to renounce his
fights to the succession.
l'Lftt Crown Prince Makes Denial.
" Vi Ijaf. however, lb. crown prince'
denied any such intention in an in
terview given to The Associated Tress'
jrTespondent December 1918. At ,
that time the crown prince said
"I have not renounced anything and
have not signed any documents what- j
ever."
--- "However," he continued, "should ,
tfjr the German government decide to form
a republic similar to the Tinted m li.
Ifjlj or France, j should b perfectly con
tent to return to Germany as a simple
citizen ready to do anything to assist
my country "
Notwithstanding this categorical 1
JtFj, Statement, the sr mi official Wolff bu
X&J r,'u of Berlin ihree days later issued
hat was said to be the exacl texl
ot the crown prince's renunciation of
ns rights to the throne.
As regards The Associated Tress in

respondent who obtained it holds an
autographed letter from the ex-crown
Prince in which the latter slates that

ARMISTICE VIOLATED
Persons Responsible for
Sinking Fleet Will
Be Punished,
TARIS. June 26 Germany has been
notified in a note sent today by thej
allies that they possess the right to;
punish the persons responsible for the
destruction of the German ships and
to collect reparation for the loss The
sinking of the fleet is denounced as
a violation of the armistice and a de- !

diiions of peace.
When the investigations have been,
completed, the note stales, the allies
will exact "the necessary reparation. "
Letter to Germans
The allied and associated powers to- I
da sent the following letter to the I
German peace delegation:
"June 25. 1919
"Mr. President: The terms of the
armistice signed by Germany on the
eleventh of November, 1918, provided
as follows
"'Article 2T The German surface1
warships which shall be specified by
the allies and th-- I niicd Slates shall
forthwith be disarmed and iherealter
interned in neutral ports, or, failing
them, the allied ports designated by j
the allies and the United States They!
shall there remain under supervision'
by ihe allies and the United States,
onh care and maintenance parlies be
ing left on board."
"On June 21 the German warships
which bad been handed over to the al
lied and associated powers at anchor
In the roadstead at Scapa Flow with
the German care and mainh nance par-
ties on board as provided In the armis
tice, were sunk by these parties under I
the orders of the German admiral in
command, according to the information
which has been collected and trans
mitted by the British admiralty The
German admiral in command of these
parties of the German naval forces has
alleged that he a ted in the belief that,
the armistice expired on June 21 at
ruldday and consequently in his opin- 1
ion the destruction in question was no
violation of its terms.
"In law, Germany, by signing the I
terms of article 23. set out above, en
tered inlo an undertaking that ihe
ships handed over by her should re
main in the ports indicaled by the al
lied and associated powers and that
care and maintenance parties should
be left on board with such instruc
tions and under such orders as would
ensure that the armistice should bo
observed.
"The sinking of these ships instead
of their preservation as had been pro
vided for, and in breach ot the un
dertaking embodied in article 31 of tho
armistice agalnsl all acts of destruc
tion, constituted al once a violation of
the armistice, the destruction of the
pledge handed over, and an act of
j gross bad faith toward, the allied and
associated powers
"The admiral in command of the
care and maintenance parties belong
ing to the German naval forces has,
while recognising that, the act was a
br ach of the armistice, attempted to
Justifv it. by alleging his belief that
the armistice had come to an end.
"This alleged justification is not
well founded, as under the communi
cation addressed to the German dele
gation by the Allied and associated
powers on the sixteenth of June, 1919,
the armistice would only terminate on
refusal to sign the peace, or, if no an
swer were returned on the 23rd of
June at seven o'clock According to
international law, as embodied. parUe-
TRUE LOVE'S COURSE
SURELY ISJiOUGH
Crown Trince of Roumanla, he
nas Just been released from 7 5
days' confinement which followed
a reported attempt at suicide
when his royal parents would not
permit him to live with the
daughter of a commoner whom
he had married against tho royal
will.
ularly in articles -10 ami 47 of the reg
ulatlons annexed to the fourth Hague
convention of 1907. eor serious viola
lion of the armistice by one of th
parties gives the other party the rlgh
; to denounce it and even in case of ur
gency to recommence hostilities a
J once.
"A violation of the terms of the ar
mistice by individuals, acting on th tl
own initiative, only confers ihe rich
oi demanding the punishment of thes
offenders and, if neceao, indemnity
for tho losses sustained It will, there
lore be open to the Allied and asso
I ciated powers to brine before a mlli
lary tribunal the persons responsibb
loi these acts of destruction, so tha
the appropriate penalties m.iy be mi
i posed. Furthermore, the incident give
the allied and associated powers s
'right to reparation for the loss caused
'and in consequence a right to procee(
to such further measures as the saic
powers may deem appropriate.
"lastly, the sinking of the Germai
fleet is not only a violation of the ;,r
mistice but can only be regarded b;
j the allied and associated powers ai
a deliberate breach in advance of tin
conditions communicated lo German;
and now accepted by her. Further
more, the incident is not an lsolatet
l act The burning or permission fo
the burning ol the French flags whicl
Germany was to restore constitute:
another deliberate breach in adann
of these same conditions.
"In consequence the Allied and as
Isociated powers declare that they taki
note of these signal acts of bad fa.it 1
and that when the investigations int
all the cireumsl anecs have been com
Dieted they will exact the necessar;
reparation It is evident that any rep
etition of acts like those must havt
.a very unfortunate effect upon the fu
lure operation of the treaty which th
Germans are about to sign.
' They bave made complaint of Ihi
lifteon years period of OCCUpatloi
which 'he treaty contemplates. The;
have made complaint that admlsslol
to the league of nations may be to
long deferred. How ran Germany pu
(forward such claims if she encourage
, or permits deliberate violations of he
! written engagements? She canuo
complain should the allies use the ful
powers conferred on them by th.
treat, particularly article 429 if she
ion her side, deliberately violates it;
I provisions.

Handicap in League

NOT PARTY QUESTION
Great and Worthy Cause
j Should Not Be
Disgraced.
WASHINGTON. June 26 Assertions
that the league of nations would handi
cap the effort lor Irish freedom were
denied in the senate today by Senator
'Phelan, Democrat, California.
"Some prsons interested in the Irls.i
cause," he said, ' have objected to ar
ticle 10 because they fear it would
guarantee the territorial integrity of
the British empire This it does only
with respect to 'external aggression.'
Now, Irish independence can be won
either by the voluntary act of Eng
land, a successful revolution or the
intervention of a superior force from
the outside, of these three avenues
I to independence the league onlv stands
' in the way of the last.
"If an Irishman tells me that he
I would put Irish independence before
the spectacle of a world bathed again
' in blood, the loss again of millions of
lives, and the hunger, disease, priva
tions, suffering and torture inflicted
upon millions more, then I would say
be has forfeited generous considera
tion by an exhibition of unutterable
bo flshness."
Deprecating any effort to make Ir
; ish freedom a party question. Mr Phe
lan srnd the Republicans could not
claim credit for the resolution recently
passed requesting a hearing for the
I Irish delegates at Versailles. Mr.
Phelan declared the solid Republican
support ii few days ago of the Borah
resolution asking the hearing for Irish
i delegates "was intended to embarass
the president."
"It was also done I believe, to de
feat the league of nations by exciting
a false suspicion that article 10 pre
vented' internal revolution." he con
tinued. "It is unfortunate that so
great and worthy a cause should be so
i rudely used as a vulgar means of win
ning votes b.v men whose previous ac
tion would indicate that they have no
real sympathy with Ireland."
' In conversation recently with Pres
ident Eamonn tie Valera of the Irish
republic " said Senator Phelan, "he
emphatically declared that he trusted
, Ihe Holy cause to w hich he had pledg
ed his life and honor would not bo
dragged into the mire, of American
party politics."
