CLAIM OF FORMER
OW n E RS is IN
NO WAY CHANGED

Washington, Nov. S.-The Dacia sail
ed from the United States for Roter-
dam as test ship TO determine the
attitude Of Great Britain toward
changes Of registry after the outbreak
Of hostilities. France in Selling her
claimed never TO have recognized
changes Of flag during time Of war.
The American government took the po
sitiun that while France applied that
rule in the Dacia case her practice in
the past had not been uniform and
that actually many changes Of regis
try had been tacitly acknowledged.
il has been generally considered that
claim for indemnity by the owners
of the Dacia would be supported by
the state department. The requisition-
ing of the vessel for use by the French
government and the change of name,
and now her destruction, will not af-
feet the status of such a claim should
it finally be presented. The case is in
the stage Of appeal from the prize
court decision.
