WAR DISCLOSURES
GERMAN NAVAL PLOT.
(“Times” Service.)
(Received at 11 a.m.) LONDON, January 27.
“The Times’s” Berlin correspondent reports a German Naval staff attempt to spike the armistice negotiations was discussed by Admiral Von Trotha, giving evidence before the Reichstag Sub-committee enquiring into the causes of Germany’s war collapse. He admitted that at the advanced stage of negotiations, when Germany had already undertaken to end the submarine war, and preliminaries to a cessation of hostilities had been arranged, the German Naval Staff was preparing to go behind the Government’s back and force a battle with the British Fleet. The project was abandoned when the crews refused to fight.
