THE GERMAN FLEET
SHIPS DIRTY AND DISCIPLINE LAX
BRITISH ENVOY'S DIFFICULTIES
(ACS. AND N Z. CABLE ASSN. AND MSTEK.)
LONDON, 27th December. The Press Bureau has issued an account of the Allied Naval Commission's work in German waters, which shows that the Commission found all the German warships in a filthy condition. Discipline was at such a low ebb that it was found necessary to warn the sailors. In the course of frequent journeyings inland, the Commissioners cama to the conclusion that representations that the people urgently need food and clothes were nothing like as justifiable as the German authorities were eeeking to impress on the Allies. The agricultural conditions were obviously most favourable.
