This result Is laid at the door of

MAY NOT ACCEPT GERMAN
 SHIPPING NOW IN CHILE

Washington, March f2.-The Ameri- can government may not accept the 100 000 or more tons of German ship ping in Chilean waters allocated to it by the allied shipping commission. Chairman Hurley of the shipping board said tonight final action would depend upon both the condition of the grant and the ships.
 MT Hurley explained that the origi- nal proposal, made when he was in Europe, was for the United States to take over the ships and use them un- til the peace treaty was signed when title to them would be determined. This offer was refused by Mr. Hurley, who believed that their use for so short a period would not justify the board in standing the expense of the repairs.
 information that the ships finally had been allocated to this country has just been received at the state depart ment. MT. Hurley immediately or dered an examination of the vessels to determine the extent of repairs that would have to be made
 The exact conditions under which the ships have been allocated to this country have not yet been transmitted to the shipping board. If these should provide for the use of sne vessel only until peace is proclaimed, some off, ciaIs said they would not be accept able as it would require several months to put the craft into commis sion.
 Three hundred thousand tons of German transatlantic shipping now in German ports has been 3lloCated to the United States. Most of the ships are in good shape. and they will bl gotten out as soon as the American crews can be assemble1 and sent tC Germany.
