STATUS OF STEAMSHIP
ALEXANDRIA IN DOUBT
Question Of ownership Must Be
Settled Before She II Given
Clearance Papers.

officials Of the navigation bureau say
ownership Of the steamship Alsxan.
dria. detained by United states au-
thorities at San Francisco, must be
sail under American registry or fly
a German flag.
The Alexandria formerly was a Ger
man-owned vessel but is said now to
be without country.
The navigation bureau has referred
the question to the State Department
and pending an investigation to dis
close who actually owns the steamer
and conditions under which any recent
transfer of ownership was made
change of registry will be withheld. It
is probable clearance under the Ger
man flag will be denied also until this
government is satisfied that its neu-
trality will not be violated by the
Alexandria's contemplated voyage.
In the same connection United States
officials were somewhat puzzled by the
announcement from London that an Of
fetal investigation was in progress of
the movements of ships which had left
American ports for neutral countries,
but failed to arrive at their destina-
tions.
The steamer Lorenzo. captured by
British cruisers and held for a prize
| court ruling because of allegations
| that she had supplied coal and pro-
| visions to the German cruiser Karls-
ruhe. is the only American register
steamer coming within the scope OF
such an investigation so far as Of

been received of the failure of. other
