Washington, ept. 3O.-The acute
question Of who owns The nine ships,
Including. the ;I1lperator, taken from
Germany and recently used by the
War Departments as transports must
be decided by the peace conference.
These ships were to be delivered to
Great Brirtain yesterday, but the Ship
pirlg Board suddenly held UP the de-
livery, under the claim that they are
for the present at least the property
of the United States.
Officials of all departments con-
cerned say there are questions. Of fact
involved, and also the question OF
whether Great Britain is living up to
the tentative agreement by which the
ships were turned over to the United
States. 1t is thought. that Colonel
House, General Bliss and ex-Anlbassa-
dor White, American representatives
ait Paris, will be able to throw corr
cradle light on the situation and show
the British delegates that turning
the vessels over at this time to Great
Britain would be a considerable step
in advance of the agreements and I'M
derstandings between the two nations.
