In announcing these two decisions
OF the president, Secretary Tumulty

Congress the president announced
that the railroads would be handed
over to their owners at the end of
this calendar year. 1t is now neces-

GERMAN SHIPPING
CAUSES TROUBLE
PREPARATION COMMISSION MUST
TACKLE PROBLEM OF DIVISION
OF MERCHANT SHIPS.

Paris. - Soon after the Versailles
treaty goes into effect, the Repara-
tons Commissions must tackle the
problem of the division of three mil
lion tons OF German merchant ships
Within the last 10 DAYS this problean
has loomed up as a potential source
OF discord among the allios since
France is beginning to get restiye BE-
cause England has promised Italy that
sne will get full payment in kind for
100000 tons Of shipping lost during
the war, while France stands to re-
ceive 250,n00 tons, whereas she lost
some 100000 tons OF shipping.
From material standpoint, Amer
lea Is in a fortunate position in this
controversy This is true because
the United States already has her full
share of German ships and her title
is guaranteed by the agreement sign
ed by Clemenceau, Wilson and Lloyd
George.
Last May Wilson and Lloyd George
formulated an accord on the division
OF German shipping by terms of which
German ships were TO be divided ac-
cording to the ratio of maritime losses
of the varied allied and associated
powers. However. 1t was stipulated
that the different allied nations were
entitled TO keep those ships they
seized before the armistice. If sin.
gle powers share under the percen-
tage division was more than the
ships it had, that power would re-
ceive more ships from the poor of
German ships not seized. IL the ships
held were more than the powers
sharee, that power could keep all it
had but must pay into the rcparations
pool the value over and above it's pro-
per share reckoned ON war losses.
