Interned Vessels.

Al the time Of the original declaration
OF war between Germany and other com-
tries OF Europe. Aug. I. 1914, states
George \. King in Case and Comment
there were i large number of German yes
sells i'll the uorts of the United States.
From that time until the declaration of
war with Germany h. our Own country.
April Il. 1917. no obstruction was placed
by ON government III the way Of any 81
these vessels freely departing from our
ports whenever they should desire To do
so.
This was a barren right however The
navice of Great Britain and her allies
were from the beginning OF the war in
open possession of the se3> subject only
10 the operations OF submarines and 4
few other sporadic commerce dcstroyera.
These vessels therefore remained mOorcd
TO their piers in our ports in idleness. IN
til upon our declaration Of war, they were
seized BY our government.
The seizure was legalized by Joint re>o-
hutton Of May r. 1917. By which the
| President was authorized 70 take over
the immediate possession and title Of any
vessels which al the time of coming into
| the jurisdiction of the United State:
was owned in whole or in part by any
corporation citizen or subject OF any ma
ton with which the nited States may b,
at war when such vessel shall be taken
! This resolution further authorizes tn
/ President through the United State
shipping board, or any department 0
agency Of the government. to operat,
lease, charter and equip such vessel j
any service OF the United States. or j
any commerce, foreign or coastwise.
To consider in detail what if any
rights remain IN the German owners Z
these vessels would BE- premature at tn
present time. The right of the Unite
States government to seize any vessel bt
longing to 4 citizen of an enemy cOuntr
for military or naval Use is recognized b
decisions of the supreme court.
