Last Night. - , ..

“The sinking of the German Fleet at Scope Flow and after," was the subject of s. most inter- esting address at, the G. W. V. A. rooms lust night by Commander W. G. Lewin, of the Royal Navy Reserve. who was King's ‘Harbor Master at Scarborough in 1919. and was an eye yvitness to the spectacular events which he des- cribed. The wholesale sinking on June 22. 1919 of the Gcrlnun ships which came to Scope Flow nud- er the terms of the Armistice, had evidently been carefully pro-ar- rangod by the Germans under the orders of Admiral Von Renter. The interned vessels were man- ned at the time entirely by Ger- man skeleton crews as caretakers. as the terms of the Armistice did not permit of British guards aboard. No inter-communication between ships was pennltted but tit was manifestly impossible to stop visual signalling during day- light.

The great fleet of German war- ships with their destroyers in front, had entered the Flow guar- ded on the front, flanks and rear by various British and American

squadrons. and it formed one or‘

the most imposing sights in na- val history. After being moored to their allotted places, the Brit. ish ships had no responsibility hut that of preventing their es- cape. There was great discontent among the Germans. They want- ed to know what was to become oi their ships, and more than any- thing they wanted to know when they were going to get hpme. A Bolahevistic element on Von Reu- ter's ship caused that Admiral to quake-J hasty rot, t toanother shipi“l‘i'ill‘tfll"tfi' ‘tb-t‘ ‘ the British officers. ‘m: “The” lthltofui Day -. e ,9, 89m the sinking of this Oéflnim Fleet, everything ap- peared to be in good order. The moorings were all in satisfactory condition. and there was no sign that anything unusual was about to happen. But on the dayihey slink their ships, about noon a rumor of the truth got about. In such an emergency it had been arranged that British ships were to take their places beside cer- tain German ships. This order was now carried out; all the var- ious vessel! pmoeedlsd at (mce

One vessel for instance, allotted to attend the “Kaiser”, found that ship completely under water. Ar- rlvinz at tho Flaw, the whole 0f the German fleet could be seen in various attitudes of formation, some of them very strange in- deed. The Colne was sinking ra- pidly. Moored right across the cen-trc of the Flow were, about 50 small boats containing. the Ger- man crews and officers, headed by Admiral Von Reuter and his staff. in addition to the bouts. sundry life rafts and other means of flotation. had been used by some of the German crows.

"It was too much for us.“ tinned Commander Lewin. “An order rad ‘been issued that on no account were we to use fire-arms unless necessity- compelled, but we had. great difficulty in pro» venting some of the crew from taking a pot-shot at this fellow.

Hotel Man Gives In- teresting‘ Talk on The Problems of His Business.

Speaking before the Rotary Cluih yesterday Mr. H. C. Brown, manager of the Victoria Hotel, presented on interesting viewpoint of the Hotel ibus-lness which per- haps citizens have not thought enough about heretofore. Mr. Brown's address follows‘.-

When asked to come before you and read a paper on the function of the Hotel, I felt very diffident about tackling such a large sub- ject and. will ask your indulgence if i am unit-hie to do it justice.

The Hotel today acts in the ca- pacity of host for the city it is situated in, and must- ‘be ‘spre- paretl lit all times to receive and entertain your totrlsts, business friends, commercial travellers anti the multitude of people who find it necessary to pilss through your city.

In carrying out the many duties of host to this large number of visitors a grove responsibility rests on those connected in every capacity with the ‘Hotel. A stranger coming to your city for the first time is prepared to like or dislike you by the recep- tion and service he receives at the hotel, First impressions are al- ways the most lasting therefore ii "the stranger within your gates" is received courteously, on enter- ing a hotel, is ‘booked to a nice comfortable room with modern conveniences partaltes of n. well- cuoked and well served meal. he fares forth in. a mood to enjoy the other good things you may have to offer. Quite the reverse is the effect if, the first time he is in a town he is not comfortable in his hotel or those he comes in contact. with are in any way dis- courteous or appear uninterested in him.

ect. contact with the guests of the house.

This spirit oi’ extending hospi- tality was well exemplifled during the convention of tile American Bankers Association held in July -in. New York City. There were 1.2.000 delegates and every one of this large numiher was personally welcomed to the city within tif- teen minutes of registering.
