HELGOLAND TO HUNS

ENGLAND WILL NOT DEMAND GREAT NAVAL BASE. Churchill Asserts It Will Not Be Necessary to Take Over Marine Stronghold. London, Dec. 6. —The British naval authorities have detided that it will be unnecessary to demand the return of Helgoland to Groat Britain from Germany, Winston Spencer Churchill, the minister of munitions, announced In a speech at Dundee. Mr. Churchill also said the government had decided upon the nationalization of the railways. “We enter the peace conference," said Mr. Churchill during the course of his address, “with the absolute determination that no limitation shall be imposed on our right to maintain our naval defense. We do not Intend, no matter what arguments and appeals are addressed to us. to lend ourselves m any way to any fettering restrictions which will prevent the British navy maintaining its well-tried and well-deserved supremacy.” The island of Helgoland, formerly Danish, was ceded to Great Britain in 1814. In 1890 Great Britain ceded It to Germany, who began developing it i-ftto an extremely important naval base. It lies in the North sea off the moTitlis of Elbe and Weser and of the entrance to the Kiel canal, which it dominates The island \\a - rt German naval stronghold throughout the great war. Its occupation by the allies was under consideration shortly after the signing of the armistice when the German nnval revolution made it appear doubtful if Germany would comply with the naval terms of the armistice. These, however, seem since to have been fulfilled nearly in "their entirety.
