WASHINGTON. D. c.. June Is
With the swearing in today Of the

ping board under the chairmanship
of Albert D. Lasker, the initial step
in the liquidation of the three bill
lion United States mercantile marine

The first action of the board was
to place $2,25O.0O0.00O of the debit
side of the ledger and draw red
line through the figures. This repre-
sents the depreciation in the cost
price of the 1.7O8 government owned
vessels and the remaining figures,
S75O,O0O,OOO will serve as an ap-
proximate basis for disposal of the
ships.
Will Stop Leakage.
Lasker announced that he and his
colleagues on the board would ener-
getically tackle the problem of stop.
ping leakage Of taxpayers money in
to the upkeep of the marine which
Is now flowing at the rate Of over
~ 100000 per week.
The plan the board is expected to
follow and which is said to have the
approval OF President Harding, is to
seek purchasers for the ships among
lines and shipowners who will keep
the vessels under the American flag.
The s33,OO0.O00 venture III wood

total loss. Ships that cannot be sold
as ocean bottoms will be junked. 1t

Ex-KAlSER'S PALACE A CLUB
Schlcss Put to Use by Members of
British Army of Occupation
Near Cologne.

One of the ex-kaiser's castles has
been put to good use for the time
being, writes correspondent in
the Manchester Guardian. This is
the Schloss Bruehl in a fair-sized
town of that name near Cologne.
The castle has been converted into
club for the use of the British
army of occupation, one wing for
officers, in which the original fur
niture has been retained, and an
other for men.
The fine suite of rooms upstairs
is used for dances, but in the day
time one has to don felt overshoes
before looking through them. They
contained some beautifully inlaid
wooden cabinets and dull conven-
tional portraits Of margraves and
cardinals.
What astonished the sightseer
most was that in such a magnificent
building the cultured German had
been content with the crudest of
poor imitation marble pillars and
steps. The old gardener told me
that the kaiser had not visited this
palace since his childhood, but that
the kaiserin had been there several
times during the war. In front of
the castle was stone pillar which,
curiously enough, commentaries
the death of some soldiers from
Bruehl who had fallen at Bapaum
in the 1870 war.
