$50 Millions Seized During
War Returned by U. S.
T. Government.
(By UniversaI servfce)

The United States government
has turned back s15o.09o,o0o in
property owned by American wives
Of German and Austrian noblemen
and to other citizens of those coun-
tries. it was learned yesterday. All
this property was in charge of the
Alien Property Custodian. This in
cludes property owned by the for
mer Gladys Vanderbilt and the late
Baroness De Mumm.
Property and money to the value
of 100000, 900 is still in possession
OF the Alien Property Custodian.
As ii is owned by natives of Ge--
many and Austria. ii cannot be
turned back until authority is given
by special act of Congress. Such
an act will in all probability be
passed at the coming session.
Alien property officials assert
that owing to the fact that the
United States has not ratified the
peace treaty, or become q signatory
to the league of nations, she has
free hand in disposing of German
property still on hand. II is
thought likely. however, that on the
final conclusion of peace the prop
erty will be returned to its owners
