WARRINGTON, Sept 13.-Several OF the
German liners seized by the United
States on entering the war will be re-
tanned permanently as part of the army
transport force. Chief of Stan Peyton
G. March told the House Military AZ
fairs Committee to-day.
Plans Of the War Department ave
been framed 90 that the United States
never will again be found wanting in
ships to transport soldiers and sup
plies as was the case for almost a year
after the country declared war on Ger
many, he added.
In response to questions of Repre-
sentative Kearns (Ohio), Gen. March
said the President already had decided
on the German ships to be retained
and that announcement. giving all the
details, would be made shortly. The
ships are to be Kept as payment for
the American commerce destroyed dur
ing the war by German submarines,
Gen. March indicated. The Chief of
Stan did not name any of the ships to
be retained.
The system planned by the War De-
partment, he said, Is to keep In ser
vice only such ships as are actually
needed for army transport work in the
War Department service. The remainder
will constitute a sort Of q reserve, the
Department leasing them to private cor
porations for commercial purposes with
the express provision that they may be
taken over by the War Department In
case of any emergency.
Gen. March also told the committee
plans OF the War Department are for
practically a complete motorization OF
the army, and for that reason the Gen.
eral STAFF decided on the continuance as
a separate unit Of the Motor Transport
Corps.
THE army mule is fast disappearing
as is the spirited cavalry horse that has
figured in American battles for almost
hundred years." said Gen. March. THE
place of the mule is being taken by the
motor trucks Of all kinds, while tractors
are being used for the artillery. We
plan to complete the motorisation of the
heavy field artillery. as was done &c
some extent by the Expeditionary Force
as well as the light artillery"

British TO Arrest Two
Americans as Spies
James Spohr, Professor in Jcru-
salem University, and Wife
To Be Brought Here

WASHINGTON, April 1.--Secretary Of
War Baker has approved a request of the
British military authorities in Tur-
key that they be permitted to arrest
on charges of treason James Spohr,
naturalzcd American citizen, and
his wife, declared officially to have
been "closely associated with the head
Of the German spy system in Palestine
and among British Indian subjects.'
The plan is to have the couple
brought to the United States for trial.
Because the United States and Turkey
have not been at war the arrests could
not be made by the American military
authorities, but the judge advocate
generals office held that the British
military commission, "under the com
n on law of military occupation," could
carry out its plan of taking Spohr and
his wife into custody and turning them
over to the United States.
Spohr, said to be of German origin.
mas been employed as professor at
the Saladin Ayoub University in Jcru-
salem. His wife is Of Scottish birth,
but. according to the charges, is known
to have lived at German hcadquartcrs,
Both are accused of having engaged in
violent anti-British and anti-American
propaganda, principally trough
speech-making and distribution of in
flammatory literature.
War Department officials said the
case of the Spohrs was very similar
to that of Herman Schaefauer. re-

Strike Of BoMgeoisie
To Combat " orkmen
Is Planned in Berlin
NeaD Yorl; Tribune
Snec,nL Cnhlc .Scrrice

CCopNisht 1919. New york Tribune Inc)
BERLIN, March 31.-The latest de-
velopments indicate that the social
and political ferment in Germany is
still working vigorously. To-day's
Die Freiheit" exploits report of the
revolutionary miners convention at
Essen, which yesterday voted by a
huge majority for a general strike to-
morrow, to enforce a siX-hour work
day and other millenal blessings.
AS a counterfeit to the above,
national convention of the bourgeois
element of the population, held in
Berlin yesterday, adopted resolutions
demanding the organization Of bour-
geois councils as an Offset to the
workmen's councils The convention
also demanded constitutional recogni-
tion of such councils il the work
mems councils arc to be thus recog
nized. The convention finally voted
in favor of n general strike of the
bourgeoisle as a means of combating
an eventual strike of the workmen.
Meanwhile the social unrest and
political uncertainties are eXerting a
steady pressure upon the German
monetary solidity. The German mark
has been deprccating almost without
interruption for more than a week in
neutral markets, losing 3.05 at Am
sterdam, $50 at Stockholm, AGO at
Copenhagen and 800 at Zurich since
March 20. The value Of the mark is
now only 4l.34 per cent Of normal at
Copenhagen, 1882 per cent at Stock
holm, 39 per cent at Amsterdam and
3644 at Zurich.
This development attracts lively dis
cussion here. The reasons assigned
are that neutral bankers fear Hun
garian developments will have a reac-
tion in Germany in the direction of
Bolshevism. This situation makes the
neutral bankers disinclined to grant
further mark credits TO Germany.
