The only way that New York State can return to Its summer-time sched­ule of 1917, before daylight saving came into operation, Is to have the Legislature repeal the law.

Berlin Gives Out Text, but Says ;

Scuttling of Fleet Was Not Ordered.

Berlin, Friday, Dee. 5 (by the Asao-i elated Press—)The Government; to?

night publishes the text of the letter from Rear Admiral Adolf von Troths, Chief of tho German Admiralty, writ­ten . to tho German Admiral - von. Reuter, who sank the Gorman war­ships in the Scapa Flow. This letter.-dated Berlin, May 9,, and marked "most secret,"' la reported to be in tho hands of the-Brltlah Admiralty.

The German Government comment­ing on the letter In relation to the , charges emanating"from i^ondon, saysH

"It Is incomprehensible how (ho British Admiralty can ciaim, .by the length and content* of tho letter, that the destruction of the ships in Scapa Flow occurred at the behest or with

r the-knowledge of the German, of-. Aetata."

The primary purposo of the letter, {it fs declared, waa to quiet the crew*

which had become Impatient and ad­monish them to stick to their posta. Not & alnglo line of the letter,, It J a added, suggest a, or eveh hlnta at, a-violent solution of the problem, re­specting the fleet's future fate, and IV In asserted that the letter wa* plalhly baaed on the German officials' convic­tion that the Issue would bo adjusted through negotiation^. • .

The Von Txblha letter, according to a recent London dispatch, was found

; In the safe of the 'TCmden at t h e t l m o j of the aalvagirig of that cruiser. Xt (was described as containing no actual • Instructions for the scuttling of th» i vessels, although It contained the sen*

tence: "Their surrender to. the enem'/-remain* ont of the riueatlon."

The Brltsh Admiralty did not elatv thla as proof that the Gerrrian- G o v ernment ordered the scuttling of tM worships, but merely proof that the" German Government was able to eem» municate with Von Reuter , .
