SEIZED LINERS
TURNED over TO
GREAT BRITAIN
President Wilson Surrenders
To English Vessels About
Which Controversy.
Was Waged.

shington, Dec. 26.-The con-
troversy between the shipping board
and British officials over possession
of seven German liners used to bring
back American troops, and now held
idle in New York harbor, ended
abruptly today with the announce
ment that President Wilson had or
dered the vessels turned over to
Great Britain. The transfer will be
made without delay and the ships
assigned to passenger. service on
| British lines.
No explanation Of the order was
made beyond the statement that the
State department had found there
was no warrant for holding the ships
now that the object for which they
were assigned by the iuter-allied
shipping commission to American
use-the return of the American
army - was accomplished. The
eighth ship OF the group. the I'M
perator, has already been turned
over to the British and is being OPP
Grated by the Cunard line. ;
Separate Questions.
The unexpected action of the ship
ping board last September in re-
fusing to deliver the Imperator to
the British, was understood to be
connected with efforts to induce the
return to the Standard Oil company
of II tank steamers, formerly under
the German flag, but now held in
British custody in the Firth of Forth,
by order of the supreme council
The State department took the po-
sition, however, that these were sep
arate questions and must be dealt
with separately, the United States
carrying out its obligation to turn
the German ships over to the
British.
Meantime the fate of the tankers
remains in doubt Chairman Payne
of the shipping board recently made
a proposal to the supreme council
that pending adjustment of titles the
tankers be put at the disposal of the
United States and that Great Brit,
ain be given use of he former Ger
man liners. Great Britain agreed to
this proposal, it was learned today.
on the condition that the United
States would furnish Great Britain,
France, Italy and Belgium with oil,
but it is reported withdrew her ac-
ceptance the day after it was trans
mitted. No explanation of the re-
ported withdrawal was obtainable.
Board Officials in Dark.
In the absence of Chairman Payne.
officials of the board today were
withou. knowledge of the DISPOSE
ton of the tankers. In view of the
worldwide shortage of tankers it
would be a hardship to the United
States. it was declared, if these
AmericaE-owned vessels should be
turned over to other countries. Of
ficials expressed the hope that the
tankers would eventually be placed
at the disposal of the United
States.
Under the Versailles treaty, final
decision as to the titles all craft
requisitioned from German harbors
after the armistice rests with the
reparations committee. The present
dispute, both as to the passenger
vessels and to the tankers, it was
asserted cannot be considered as
definitely settled, the present dispo-
sition being only temporary.

WAR NEEDS use UP
FORESTS OF LUMBER
Thursday Only.
(Regularly $4.o5)

WASHINGTON. y. C., Sept. ga
total consumption OF nearly six and a
half billion feet Of lumber by the gov
eminent during the war Is shown in
recent figures compiled by Il. G. Bry-
ant, industrial examiner of the u. s..
forest service. OF this amount OF lum-
Der purchased directly by the various
government departments. the army CON
sumption was nearly five and a half
billion feet; the navy mare than $780,
900, 600 feet, and during 1918, the con
sumption OF lumber for boat construc-
feet.
or the army consumption, airplane'
construction took about 1871, 900, 900 feet,
more than half of which was spruce.
In this connection, the total amount
purchased was probably twice these
figures, as the yield of cants in airplane
lumber Is about SO per cent and the
figures given represent the amount ac-
tually shipped to airplane factories up
to January 3, 1919. Gunstocks and hand
guards took nearly a hundred million
feet, almost exclusively Of black wal
nut. Box rs and crates required about
two billion feet, rs per cent of which
was Southern pine, and structures for
cantonments, hospitals, warehouses, etc,
used about three billion feet, of which
rs per cent was Southern yellow pine
and 10 per cent Douglas fir.
About 1855, 900, 900 feet OF the lumber
Used by the Emergency Fleet corpora
ton was Southern yellow pine and about
425, 900, 900 Douglas fir, with small guam
titles of oak, locust for ~treenails, and
other hardwoods.
In addition to this material secured
in the United States, the government
purchased large quantities OF standing
timber In France and also secured
some sawed material from other Eu-
countries.
The figures given are only approx
mate as to the total amount Of lum-
Der used. as they represent only raw
material and direct purchases. For in.
stance, large quantities of lumber were
purchased indirectly in the form of
boxes and crates and much was bought
In the form OF manufactured articles.
