All this then would have been reported in ak actly the same-that is, incorrect fashiCn to the United States by the same British agencies. If hey mad succeeded, these British agents would nave saddled Germany with the respon- sibilitv and fault in the eyes of every candid, but misled, observer.

 The board seeks particularly to get certain obsolete foreign-built trans ports, the Meade and Crook. The Crook. of 4,S00 tons, is being used in connec- tion with the Alaskan railway; the Meade, of 5,4OO tons, is idle at Newport News and recently was advertised for sale. A provision of the pending army appropriation bill would authorize the use of the ships on coastwise trade. but this authorization would be unnec- essary if they were turned over to the shipping board.
