GERMANY WITHIN

INSURRECTION IN THE NAVY. AUTHORITIES DARE NOT ACT SEVERELY. (Rec. October 12, 7.30 p.m.) LONDON. October 11 The "Daily Chzonicle's" Amsterdam correspondent says that the details of Admiral von Capelle'c revela" lions confirm the seriousness thereof. In several cases of ships at sea the crews, attempted to dispose of their officers and to make ton a neutral port. The fleet's inactivity against Russia in the Baltic has recently been criticised, but unrest among tlie crews of large ships has rendered it inadvisable to embark upon anything requiring' ihe use of battleships. The insurrection has involved at least six important ships. The authorities dared not ta.ke the sSei'nest measures on a larg-e scale, fearing to increase the unrest. The number of men condemned probably does not exceed six, but scores have been imprisoned and many have been changed or intermixed. It- is believed that the phrase "Object of handing over ships to the enemy." used m the Reichstag, literally describes a fact. Travellers staJe that submarine crews are only collected by the high pay and privileges.
