as to what will be included. In some
cases. business men who have con-

Washington on trade questions have
assumed that restrictions were certain

have been conferences which have

FLEET OF AMATEUR yAcHTsMEN
British Sporting Men Of othsr Years
Now Serve in Navy.

rCorres pondence Associated Press.1
Dover. England, May 5.-Men who
were amateur yachtsmen in the days
Of peace constitute very largely the
personnel ofs the fleets OF motor
launches which have played an I'M
portant part in most Of the British
operations in the English channel dur
ing the past three and half years.
In the rccen. Zeebrugge affair more
than a score of them were enaged,
putting up the smoke screen and acting
as mosquito escort" to the destroyers
ard other ships engaged.
The yachtsmen who man these
launches entered the naval service at
the beginning Of the war with an init
mate knowledge of the waters around
the British Isles. and also OF the
French and Belgian coastal waters. So
that they were able to perform many
important services.
Dozens of the launches which they
riiot are OF Ameriosa MANUFACTURE
Many others especially those used IN
the early days Of the war. were fast
pleasure craft, lent to the admiralty
and usually commanded by their own

I. is true that these men had only
been amateur sailors, but their local
knowledge waa often equal to that OF
The professional fishermen. and to this
preliminary advantage they soon
added the benefits derived from inten-
s!ve courses Of naval instruction. At
present these mon nave become pro

SEIZED PROPERTY $3.50, ooo, 900.
$4,000, 900 Taken Over in Chicago, bu
More Is Sought.

Chicago, June ALREADY approx
mately s350.000. 900 worth Of German
owned property in the United States
has been taken over by the custodian
Of enemy property. and within the next
few months that total is expected to be
doubled. ]. Lionberger Davis, managing
director for the alien property Gus
todian. A. Mitchell Palmer, told mem
bers of the County and Probate judges
Association of Illinois. al a meeting
yesterday in the courtroom Of Judge
Henry Horner.
The amount already in custody does
not include the value of ships originally
belonging to the North German Lloyd
and Hamburg American lines and
other properties which are no. now
actually in the possession OF the alien
property custodian. He said the prop
critics which either have been or will be
taken over for the period Of the war
include many large chemical and medi-
cal plants which were controlled by
German interests.
He said German commercial penetra-
ton, part Of the country'e policy of
world domination, had gone farther in
the United States at the outbreak of
the war than any one had suspected
and that the great amount Of property
being seized will be factor IN the
peace settlement following the war.
"Germany'c economic and industrial
aggression has been as ruthless as her
warfare on land and sea-" he said. we
have found that entire industries in
this country have been dominated by
German interests in thorough accord
with the German policy Of world dom
nation. Thru economic penetra-
ton they were established outposts
for German aggression. They were I'M
portant aids and supplements to the
German policy Of military frightful-
ness on land and naval frightfulness at
sea.
These holdings of Germans are be-
ing turned over 70 the custodian OF en-
envy property. He is entitled to every

ment and it Is every citizens duty to

He stated that there stfll seems to be
some misunderstanding about the term
enemy and about the duty Of per-
sons to report enemy property. He
pointed out that an enemy is any per-
son who resides within the nations
with which we are at war or within the
territory occupied by them. emphasize
ing the fact that residence and not cit
izenship Is the determining factor. He
called attention to the fact that an
American citizen who remains in Ger
many Is an enemy, whereas German
citizen residing in this country Is not
an enemy unless interned by the war
department.
