HOLD HUNS SHIPS.
Should Not Be Set Free After the War to Extend Their Share of
 Worlds Profits in Trade.
(By The Associated.)

London. Oct. 26 British Wireless Service. .)-German ships should not be set free after the war ito extend their share of the worlds carrying trade and so profit by the losses which which their government by means mainly piratical had inflicted upon the ships of the allies" This plan IS urged upon the British government in a resolution adopted by the Council of Shipping of the United Kingdom.
 The council points out that heavy losses have been suffered by shipping companies at the hands of, the Ger mans. Half of Germany's shipping is declared to be in neutral or other ports and Germany may have added to it by construction or purchase during the war.
 Shipping taken over from Germany, the council suggests, should be dis tributed among the allied countries in proportion of their losses. Each coun- try should dispose of the tonnage among it's subjects for cash. :. s
