THE GERMAN FLEET.
THE POSITION EXPLAINED. Received March 3, 8.10 p.m. London, Feb. 27. In the House of Lords, Lord Lytton, replying to a, question regarding the disposal of the German fleet, said the question must be decided by the Paris conference. Tho proposal to sink the fleet would only be adopted if the representatives of the nations unanimously concluded that was the best course. Tho British attached the utmost importance to the view that the ships should not continue to form part of any naval armament or henceforth be used as ships of war. There remained three alternatives. Firstly, to sink; secondly, to break up; thirdly, to sell under certain conditions. It was simply and solely an economic proposition whether it would pay to break up or use the ships for other purposes.—Reuter.
