FIVE MATSON SHIPS =.
WILL Be EMPLOYED
. !. m WAR OPERATIONS

The Matson Navigation Company has
been notified as to the use designated
for its five steamers by the board of
navy architects which recently inspect
ed the vessels, according TO word re
ceived in the last mail from San Fran
cisco. II is said that the Maui, Mat
sonia, Wilhclmina, MauOa and Lurline
will be used as fleet scouts, destroyer
tenders and repair ships. ...'..
Although assurances have been given
that these steamers will not be removed
from the Hawaii Coast run until the
last of November, if not later, ii is
said that the company is preparing for
such action with the expectation that
il will be given in return the use of
some of the seized interned German
steamers, many of which are now un-
dergoing repairs on the Pacific Coast.
The local Matson office received a
eeblegram from San Francisco Wednes-
day afternoon, stating that all the ships
of the MatsOn company had been form
ally taken over by the government on
October IS but nothing was said of the
use to which they were expected to be
put. ~.
Conjecture has been rife as to what
the disposition of these vessels would
be ever since the government announ.
ced its intention Of communicating all
ships over $500 tons lightweight. Word
that the MatsOn ships will be used as
fleet scouts, destroyer tender and re,
pair ships probably can be accepted as
authentic. .....l& "..'
