TONS OF GERMAN SHIPPING

Arguing the impossibility OF Amer
ica's placing an army in France. the
military censor in Germany said last
summer:
I'm order to bring q division over
from America, $4,000 tons must
make the trip (across the Atiantic)
twice. Therefore. from the mere lack
Of space the transportation OF sucn
body Of troops within q certain nxed
time Limit 10 impossible"
Believing this. % they undoubtedly
did. coming from such . high source.
the poor, deiuded people OF Germany
are due to receive . great shock when
they learn that the United States has
in itS troop transporting service today
26O, 900 tons Of shipping formerly
controlled BY Germans and that the
sixteen vessels represented i'm this
tonnage have made one or more safe
and dnmOlegted trips across the At
laMtle. freighted with thousands OF
American soldiers and immense guam
titles Of military supplies for the
Mghting men Of the United States and
her allies.
It win be an even greater shock
to them when they realize these are
the same sixteen German vessels they
were led to believe had BEEN wrecked
beyond repair and put out OF COM
mission permanently IN American
har0oEB ON the day the United States
entered the war.
The surprise and dismay Of the
German people win be I'm proportion
to the thrill OF pride which stirred
every loyal American heart when an
nCRncement was made by the Navy
Department that this great armada
had safely reached French ports. The
restoration Of these sixteen vessels,
among them the Vaterland, now the
Leviathan, 64.284 tons, and placing
them In the transport service. ccnsti-
tutes one Of the most thrilling chap
ters OF the war and is another inspir-
ing evidence Of the splendid cooper
alton between the Army and Navy.
