MORE GERMAN SHIPS
ARRANGE FOR REPAIRS

Newport News, July 22.--That the
informed German Cruisers, Prince
Eitel Friedrich and Kron Prinz Will
helm, now at Norfolk. will come here
for repairs at the close of the Euro
pean war, is the belief of custom Of
ficials, who state that officials of the
North German Lloyd Line have opened
negotiations here with that end in
view.
Belief exists in some quarters that
the action of the officials of the Lloyd
line. owners of the Prinz Ei.el. in
dicates that a speedy end Of the Euro
pean war Is expected.
Both cruisers. formerly passe iger
ships, are badly In need of repairs, 1t
is said. Both went into the dry dock
shortly after their arrival here, but
little or no work was done on them.
1t Is believed that they will he put
back in the transatlantic passenger
service at the close OF .,ne war and
If that Is the case. both may be recon-
vcrted back to passenger ships at this
port.
The Kron Prinz wilhelm has dent
almost the whole of her length AS a
result of coaling at sea. II was re-
ported on her arrival here that she
was taking water at a dangerous rate,
but the report was disproved when
the cruiser went into the dry dock for
minor repairs.
Both cruisers are now informed al
the Norfolk navy yard and their Of
ficers and crew are on board. The
officers and men are under parole and
cannot leave this country until Ger
many ceases hostilities in Europe.
