SEIZED BY !. S.
New Craft of All Nations to
be COmmandeered
MOSTLY SCANDINAVIAN
Neutral Nations, Who Have ShpbuiId.
ing Industry of Country Tied Up,
Will Be Hardest Hit.

Washington. June 15,-Every shil
now building in the United States will
be requistioned for use of the country
and her allies, General George Goeth'
ais told representatives of the princi
pal shipbuilders OF the country today
This means that the small neutrals,
particularly Norway, which Is said to
have eighty per cent of the shipbuild-
ing capacity of this country requisi-
toned, will be forced TO give UP these
ships to meet the demands of the
United States during the war. The
ships of the Cunard line, of which
there are now ia ordered in this
country, also will be commanded by
this government.
The decision is regarded as dis
tinct gain for the American merchant
marine, and a corresponding loss by
the nations which have been building
ships here. The loss will fall par
ticularly hard on the small neutrals.
who already hit, suffered heavy losses
from the submarine sinkings.
The Scandinavian governments al
ready have presented claims to the
state department asking that the Scan
dinavian shipping program should be
taken into consideration in view of the
need fer ships to relieve the existing
food crises The attitude of this gov
ernment, if 1t adheres to the policy
outlined by General Goethals, means
that the needs of America and her
allies must be considered first and
then If it is possible, ships as well as
food will be apportioned to the neu-
trails when they can be spared.
While the ships of American cor
porations will be Communicated by
the government General Goethals told
the shipbuilders it is not the inten-
ton of the emergency fleet corpora
ton to operate them If they are in
tended for trade that will benefit this
country. A careful survey, he said,
will be made of the needs of shipping
and after the ships have been com
mandeered by the government they
will be turned over in the case of the
American corporations to their origi-
nal owners to be operated on the
routes assigned them.
General Goethals asked the ship
builders to prepare for him at the
earliest possible moment survey of
the shipbuilding situation in the coun-
try.

Men and Commander Congratulates
Captain on Splendid Fight.

New York, June ia dispatch
from Washington yesterday says that
the American tank steamer Moreni
was sunk by German submarine
Tuesday. after a running fight of two
hours. Four of the crew lost their
lives. The story is told in this state
ment by the state department:
The department of state Is in
formed of the sinking OF the Ameri.
can tank steamer Moreni about 6
o'clock on the morning of June II
after two hour running fight with
a German submarine. The vessel was
first fired upon from an estimated
distance 5000 yards at o'clock. The
steamer which was armed and car
ried a gun, crew, returned the shots
and attempted to escape. There was
light breeze and smooth sea. The
submarine was hardly visible. After
$50 shots in reply to 200 shots fired
by the submarine the crew abandoned
the vessel, which was all ablaze, TAX
ing to the lifeboats in a fiery sea.
AN oiler, Edward Cunningham OF
the Brooklyn, was drowned while es-
Gaping to a boat Wireless Operator
J. Curran, Jr. of New York, died of
heart failure in the lifeboat and one
seamen, L. Moustner was injured b.
gun fire and died in a lifeboat Fire
man A. Geeisen also died of wounds.
These last two were treated by the
surgeon of the submarine.
THE German submarine captain
congratulated the American captain
upon the splendid fight he had made.
Half an hour after the vessel was
sunk the crew was picked up by
passing steamer. Forty-three OF the
original crew of AZ, were landed. Six
of these were slightly hurt and placed
in a hospital. All the gunners were
saved"
