The Admiralty announced last week that the enemy had sur-

rendered all warships in Turkish waters or in the Black Sea. The notorious Goebel' ' is now in our charge in the Bosphorus. Four U '-boats also were given up. The Russian warships which had been taken over by the Germans proved to be a Dreadnought, the Volya,' and six destroyers. Thus the Black Sea has been freed without a shot being fired., and the German whams for conquering India by way of the Caucasus have come to naught.
