GERMAN L[NEBS TO BE 'RETAINED Shipping Board Will Take Vessols Over. Eight Remain Here. 4 Washington, Sept 27.--@Ight Ger man liners, including the former Ham burg-American steamer Imperator, second largest ship in the world, al lotted to the United States by the in ter-allied shipping commission after the signing of the armistice and used to bring home American troops, are to be retained by the United States. Plans t( Place thein pi passenger and freigit ervice are being prepared by the si ipp.ing board. Thle Inperator had been allocated by the allied naval commission at Paris to Great Britain and the British minister of shipping expected that the ship would be de livered to him today at 'Iloboken for use by the Cunard line In service be tween New York and England. The shipping board announced today, how ever, that it had taken the liner over from the twar department and ordered a survey to determine repairs neces sary for use as liner. J. H. Rossetter, director of the. di vision of operations of the board, is sued tonight the following statement: "It is understood -by the United States shipping board that the Impera tor, Kadsenin Augusta Victoria and six other ex-German ships, now in New York, were allocated to the United States under the terms of -peace and the board therefore assigned these vessels to the iwar department for the repatriation of .troops. This service being now performed, the chairman of the board requested the war depart nient to deliver the ships to the United States shippitig board. Accordingly the war department this morning re delivered the Imperator at Now York to the shipping board representatives. While no official of the board would stand sponsor for the statement, It was understood that the action of the board in retaining the ships was a di rect result of a decision by the su preme economic council at Brussels to allocate to the allies 12 oil tank steam ers in Geiman ports which the Stand ard Oil Company of New Jersey con tends are its property. The ships twere operated under the German flag, but the company claimed they 'belonged to Its German subsidiary. Under-Secre tary of State Polk, head of the Amer ican peace delegation at Paris, has sought to have the 12 oil shlis allo cated 'for the 'transportation of oil from teh United States to Germany.

Make OUR bank YOUR bank. The Enterprise National Bank N. B. DIAL, President C. H. ROPER, Cashier powers at Paris agreed, but the su preme economic council, on which the United States is not now represented, ordered Germany to turn the vessels over to the allies. In announcing that the shipping board would retain the eight German liners, iMr. Roosetter said their alloca tion to the United States 'was 'perma nent. When the ships were delivered by the Germans in Englqnd, the ship ping board, it was explained, turned them over to the war department for use as transp6rts and has now taken these 'back 'for commercial employ ment. It was said at the war department today that since the ships had been assigned to it by the shipping board the department's only course was to return them when no longer needed as transports. At the state department it was said that he matter had not been brought formally to the atten tion of officials there and no state ment was forthcoming. Great Britain has contended that the allocation of the eight liners by the interallied commission <was only tem porary and that when the need for the ships as troops transports has passed, they were to revert to the allied 'pool or permanent allocation among the ailled and associated nations. Officials of the shipping board would not say upon what authority they iwere acting. It was expected, however, that the whole question would be brought to the attention of President Wilson upon his return to Washington, either by the board or by Viscount Grey, t4e new 'British ambassador, who arrived today to take up his duties. 'Meantime the Cunard .line has been advised by the British minister of shipping to cancel its plans to operate the Imperator under the Cunard flag next month. The company had adver tised extensively that the Imperator would be operated by it in the Now York-Southampton service. New line of Trunks, Suit Cases and Hand Bags just received. S. M. & E H.
