ditions there.

The Reason

The Philadelphia North Ameri-
can prints an explanation given by
naval officers Of the failure of the
United States to get some of the
most mordern German L boats.
When the German fleet was turn
ed over to the Allies. according to
the story, the British notified all
naval commanders to take their
pick. Admiral Sims choose eight
of the finest products of German
workmanship and was about to
send them home as samples of
what the American Navy and
transports had to combat when he
was ordered to return them on
the ground that the United States
wanted no loot He was later
ordered by the Navy Department
to secure them. which he did, only
to be ordered again to return them.
Then the Treasury Department
asked for them to help the Victory
Loan. By this time most of the
big boats had been snapped up by
Italy, France or Japan.
