Sailing under American names in the
service of the United States are 1O9
German ships damaged by their crews
prior to their seizure by the govern
ment when war was declared. They
add more than 100000 gross tonnage
to the transport and cargo fleets in war
service for the United States.
There is evidence that German cen
tral authority gave orders for damage
to these ships, so that none could be
operated in less than eighteen months,
and documentary proof that the enemy
believed much of the damage was ir-
reparable. In less than eight months
all the ships were in service.
The former German liners, sailing
under distinctly American names, are
now fitted as troop and cargo ships.

rather see service at once on the battle
lines as privates than go later as off,
GERS. In many instances enlisted men
eligible for admission to officers train
ing schools have refused to apply be-
cause they feared the work would les
sen their chances of immediate active
service in Europe.

in camp that the division would sail
before the work at the school was COM
pleted, and not until the men were as
sured that the schools would move

filed.
