Washington, April 6--In seizng the ninety-one Ger
man ships in American ports the United States acquires
vessels purposely built for conversion into auxiliary
cruisers
1t was learned at the department Of commerce today
that most of the passenger ships built as naval
iares with gun platforms reinforced decks and other
equipment for offensive purposes.
Officials said seizure of these ships has increased our
transporting ability tremendously Fourteen of the arg
vessels seized will transport at time about forty
thousand troops The American merchant fleet available
at present can carry only about half that number
Provision of the treaty of London and The Hague con-
venton scrapped by the belgerens during the war; will
not bind the United States, it was officially indicated
today
In of doubt, general principles of international
law will obtain this governments conduct The state
department holds today would be manfesty unfair
have side adhere to the conventions while the other
utterly disregarded Them
Many of The Hague conventions not in effect at all
AS for the treaty of London England signed but
ratified it. and move by exSecretary Of State Bryan at
the start of the to have the treaty observed by all
nations failed.
