The Atlantic Transport liner Man
churia has brought the American nag
safely through the war zone. She ar
rived at the harbor from London late
last night.
Two other vessels flying the Stars

that she will dock to-day or tomorrow
The Rochester, of the Kerr Steam
ship Line, another freighter, when
sailed with the Orleans on February 10,
is a slower craft and is not looked for
at Bordeaux until tomorrow or the next
day.
All day yesterday the Offices of the
Oriental Line. at II Battery Place. were
besieged with questions asking II any
word had been received relative 10 the
arrival Of the Orleans. -,
Philip de Ronde. president OF the
line. said that he did not expect 10

down the river from Bordeaux. lie
said that the Orleans's usual sailing
time was between thirteen and htteen
days. ALL
He showed a cable message from his
Paris agent, Alberto Dodero, announcing
ureparations to greet the crew when
the vessel tied up at Bordeaux.
The cable reads: "Am leaving Paris
tomorrow friday for Bordeaux with
Arthur H. Frazier, second secretary OF
the American Embassy in Paris, and an
unofficial party, to greet the Orleans"
Officials of the Kerr Steamship Line
said that they did not expect any WORD
from the Rochester for day or two,
as her usual running time is sixteen TO
seventeen days.
News cables from London yesterday
quoted dispatches published in the
"Berliner Lokal Anzeiger," stating that
il is possible that the American steam
ers Orleans and Rochester may escape
German submarines on their way from
New York to Bordeaux. 1t is stated
that in Berlin political circles it is be-
lieved that submarine commanders
have been definitely instructed not to
sink these American vessels.
Among the vessels arriving yester-
dav from ports in the U-boat zone were
the British tanker Iroquois, towing the
barge Navahoe, from London. and the
British merchantmen Stentor, from

State Department Says Compact

dispute over the destruction of the
American merchant vessel William T.

itself as follows:
until the decision of the permanent

SHIP SEIZURE MEASURE
RECOMMENDED TO SENATE
Commerce Committee Chairman Re-
quests Its Passage at This Session

Washington. Feb. 23.-After a weeks
consideration, the Senate Commerce
Committee to-day approved the Admin
istration bill giving the President power
to commander American merchant
shipping in emergencies, and Chairman
Fletcher reported the measure, with a
request that il be passed this session.
AT least two Republican Senator'S on
the committee are known to be OPP
posed to many features of the measure,
however, and its chances of passing are
doubtful.
The bill is similar to one approved
recently by the House Merchant Ma
rine Committee, giving the President
power to commander all American
owned ships in time of war, and en-
towering the shipping board to pur-
chase in any national emergency any
shipbuilding in an American yard,
whether for an American or an alien.
The committee decided not to put
into the bill an authorization under
which the board could purchase ships
Of belligerent nations when approved
by the President. 1t changed the re-
striction of the boards power to pur-
chase ships less than 70 per cent eff
cient, to make il apply to ships Of 50
per cent efficiency
