London, June 21.-The German olllcers and Bailors forming the com plements of the German ships in terned at Seana Flow sank most of. their fleet to-day. All the big ships, the battleships and battle crusiers, excepting tho Haden and numerous smaller craft, were sunk, while others went ashore in a half-sunken condition. Eighteen 'destroyers were beached by tugs; four are still afloat, while the remainder went under. The 'wholesale sinking of the German ship3, which were surren dered under the terms of the armis tice, was carefully arranged by olllcers and crews. All explosives bad been removed and therefore the only means of destroying the Hoot was by opening the seacocks. The ships went down slowly, with the German Hag, which the crews had hoisted, showing at the mastheads. Tho crews, composed entirely of Germans, under the terms of the armistice, which did not permit of British guards aboard, took to tho boats when the vessols began to settle. While making for the shore the boats wero challenged and called upon to surrender. Some of them ignored the summons and were fired upon, a few casualties resulting. Thia stroke apparently was an en* tire surprise and the first news reached London through a corres pondent who waa informed by farm ers In the neighborhood that they had seen( the German ships sinking with their flags aloft. The admiralty at first denied the report, but later eonllrmed it and issued an official statement. The German olflcers and crows have been mud? prisoners. None of tho officials to-night would offer on opinion as to how they are to he dealt with. The hoisting of a red flag at noon was the signal for the crews to scuttle tho Gorman, warships. -1 The Courier is in receipt of the following Hst of names of Oconee boys who have been discharged from tho military service at Camp .lack son, Columbia.

Last Sunday afternoon lohn Bar leycorn stole a Ford automobile out of the owner's control with Hie wil ful, malicious intent to take a whiz around the country to see what roads needed repairing. He could not go alone^ and invited Richard Hood and Grover Medlin, both young mon of the Ebenezer section, to accompany him. They made their rounds, and apparently all was going well. The speedometer could not keep up. so was not being used; gas was plenti ful, and the humps had all been smoothed out of the roads as the party came in from Westminster. But about the middle of the hill en Col lege street, leading down toward the depot from the direction of West minster, John Henry balked, bucked, side-stepped, cut the pigeon wing, took a nose dip and a tail spin, and finally undertook to loop tho loop, but was too near the ground and landed (lat of his back, with Hood and Medlin furnishing themselves as shock absorbers underneath. There were a number of eye-witnesses, and help was at hand in a few seconds, When pulled from beneath the oar, both boys seemed to ho pretty badly hurt. Medlin wns unconscious and remained so until about 4 o'clock on Monday morning. Both young men were taken to their homes about midnight Sunday. And so the story goes. When old John Barleycorn is a passenger, we need not be surprised that the lives of those in the auto with him, as well as the lives of Others along the route, are In constant peril. Both Hood and Medlin are getting along nicely, but they were badly shaken up and very sore. Hood was in town about noon Monday. Med lin was doing very well, his father said, but was very sore and bruised, and was at home. Young Medlin, we are informed, was in Europe with the A. E. E., and saw considerable active service. Hood is younger by several years than his companion. i NBWS' NOTES FROM SENECA. Seneca Boys Still Returning from Army Service-florals. Seneca.

He ports of violent dissensions among tho various German elements and of powerful influences working to com pass tho rojoction of the treaty, oven at tho cost of an Kn ten te military occupation of Germany, has caused apprehension in some quarters that even ut jJie. last MojDVsni tho negoti ations "might fnl?.' Hov/ever, tho State Department's advices from tho American peace delegation in Paris consistently had indicated a final ac ceptance of the terms hy tho defeated enemy, so when the llrst press re ports came announcing tho unquali fied acceptance of the convention by the Weimar government the expres sions of oillcial opinion were rather of satisfaction than of surprise.
