plan 20 Smash Blockade.
NEW York, Feb. 24.-An attempt
to smash the German submarine
blockade by the use of six OF the big
gest and fastest liners now afloat as
freighters between New York anu
Liverpool is planned by England, ac-
cording to reports in shipping circles
here today.
The report is said to have been
brought over by officers recently
arriving from Europe. The fast pow
erful vessels are counted On TO pc
able to elude the submarines, put
will also be well armed cor combat
should submersibles be encountered:
The ships named are the Cunard
liner Aquitania. White Star line
Olympic, French liner France, Hol-
land-American liner Statendam, Cur
ard liner Mauretania and the Belgian
liner Belgenland.
Every one OF these ships Is new,
the oldest being the Mauretania. Some
OF them have never Deen useo II
trans Atlantic service, although all
were built for that purpose. The
Satendam passed into British hands
while she was in the course OF con-
struction at the time the war broke
out. The Belgenland and Aquitanta
also were being built when the war
started. ALI were Immediately COM
Wandered by the British and Other
allied governments for use as hos
rital ships, transports and supply
ships. They have been in constant
use since the beginning OF the war.
The Aquitania has tonnage OF 49,
SAT; the Olympic $3.50; France, 49,
666; Statendam. $4,000: Mauretania.
30,7O4, and the Belgenland. 26.5O0.
Each ship. it is declared, is capable
OF maintaining a speed of twenty-five
knots an hour. Operations against
them by submarines would be al
most impossible, 1t is felt.
The declaration here follows close
'ly the speech OF David Lloyd George
In the British house of commons In
which he said that every step pos
sfble must be taken to avert q des-
perate situation.
