STAGNATION AT KIEL.

GERMANY'S RUINED NAVY.

(Times.)

LONDON, January 27

The Inter-Allied Naval Commission found a strange spectacsle of stagnation at Kiel, suggesting the completeness of the overthrow of Germany's naval power. Deserted warships of all types dotted the harbour, only two cruisers and four destroyers remaining in commission. A great 32,000-ton battleship, half-constructed, is rusting on the stocks, having been untouched for fourteen months. Other giants lie about with armour stripped off and minus guns and funnels.
