COLLECTING AFFIDAyITs

The department also was informed to- night that the American Transatlantic compsny had nearly completed it's col- lection of affidavits from the holders of stock ir the corporation, which will, it is claimed, prove that the company is owned wholly by American citizens. All but two of the affidavits, it was said, had been collected. Those now on hand. 1t was said might be submitted immediately to the state department. It is claimed they show that at least 90 per cent of the stock is owned by Americans.
 The Hooking was requisitioned under authority of a rule of prize court proce- dure, provided for by the order in coun- cil reading as follows:
 Where it is made to appear to the judge on the application of the proper officer of the crown, that it Is desired to requisition on behalf of his majesty a ship in respect of which no final de- cree of condemnation has been made. he shall order that the ship shall be ap- praised and that upon an undertaking being given * the ship shall be re- leased and delivered to the crown.
 This rule was contained in an amend ment made after the attorney general, appearing for the British government in the case of a neutral ship which had Teen requisitioned, contended that bel ligerent state had a right to requisition dCcoTul1lS to lnleTHdllOTdl itW, lOT uISSlit purposes of offense or derense, the prop erty of neutrals provided it is not with iii neutral Jurisdiction" It was contended further that such resuistion was sub ject to adequate compensation and that the subject of a neutral state whose prop erty had been so requisitioned could not complain to a British court, the remedy being through diplomacy.
 ''The American Transatlantic company is a Delaware corporation, which was formed recently oy Richard Wagner of New York and Wisconsin. It purchased 1G ships, nearly all of which before the war were flying the flags of foreign coun- tries now neutral The status of the ves- sells was questioned by Great Britain. and for time applications made to the de- pa-tment of commerce for their transfer to American registry were held up, pend- ing investigation of statements that their ownership was largely German. The state department ruled, however, that the vessels were entitled to American regis try on prima facie showing that they were owned by m American corpora tion.
