FORMER GERMAN PASSENGER
 SHIPS OFFERED FOR SALE

Washington, Jan, 2.-Thirty form CT German passenger ships seized when the United States entered the war, including the Leviathan, the larg- est vessel afioat, the Agamemnon, the GeOrge Washington and others which were the pride of the German mer- chant marine. were offered for sale to- day by the shipping board.
 Proposals for the purchase of the vessels, which may be filed up to Jan- uary 20, will be received only from American buyers and must include a. pledge to use the ships on lines des- lgnated by the shipping board
 Decision of the board to offer the former German liners for sale waa determined principally by the cost of reconditioning them for passenger service. Chairman Payne said in an nouncing that the vessels were for sale. Many of the vessels were used by the war department as transports and the cost of refitting them for passenger service has been estimated by shipping board officials at approx fmately $50,000,O00.
 By restricting the sale of the ships to American interests and to perman- ent service on designated lines the board expects to accomplish the es-
 
 service programme to all parts of the world along the same lines that would have beer. followed had the board it. self put the liners into service.
 The vessels of the first class type of fered for sale, are: sLeviathan. Agam- emnon, Mt. Vernon, yon.s Steuben, George ashington, Martha Washing ton (Austrianl, America, De Kalb, Hu- ron, Princess Matoila, Pocahontas. Callao, M0ccasin, Black Arrow and otsego. Fourteen others of the in ter1nediate type adapted for steerage and cargo, including the President Grant, Antigonne, Mercury, and Am phion, also are offered to buyers. The ships are to be turned over to the successful bidders upon payment of twenty-five per cent. of the pur- chase price and satisfactory fulfllment of. other terms of sale. Such of the vessels as are not sold at this time will be used by the board in passenger service until the whole of the govern ment fleet has passed into private hands.

 Article Ten continued the crux of all of the discussions, neither side having found much favor for it's roundabout propos2ls on the subject. Next in prom @i ice was the question of voting power in the league of nations. with the democrats apparently determined to make some modification in the res- ervation adopted at the last session by the republican majority. There werc | few other points of difference. but the general impression seemed td be that an agreement on Article Ten would almost end the whole eontro- Tersy.
 In declaring formal compromise of fers must come from the democrats, the republican leaders reiterated that enough senators to defeat ratification were pledged to accept no compromise that would impair materially the ma jority reservation program of last ses- sion To this Senator Hitchcock re- piled that there were enough on his side of the chamber to defeat ratifica- ton who weer pledged against any compromise that did not impair mate cial1y the majority program.
