charge of a suit case full of whisky,

 Equipment Junked

He adds ::
 Costly and useful ships were used for months as prison ships Supershipn like the Aquitania were employed on scouting missions, their magnificent u passenger equipment gutted Ships were allowed to load cargo or to book were informed that the admiralty re- quired these boats"
 An instance is given of 7000- ton boat which was all ready to sail with 200 passeng gers when it was taken over and sent empty to the west coast of been loaded with coal and realized al small fortune. Another case is given of a 6000-ton boat at Hue1ve about to load with a cargo of iron ore for England which was requisitioned suddenly and sent empty to the Pacific. although there should have been plenty of mer- chant ships available much nearer the desired destination.
 How long, asks the journal, twill these methods be tolerated? In the na- tional interest, committee of ship ping men should have been selected to, organize the admiralty chartering."
