THE' SUNDAY OREG ONIAX, PORTLAND, 3IARCII 16, 1919. 3 US TRADE SHIPS OD SUPPLIES Boch.es Will Receive 370,000 Tons of Food Monthly. 700 VESSELS GIVEN OVER France and England Are Allotted Freighters Xow Lying In South and Central America. fnCSSELS. March 13. The German delegates to the conference here re garding the taking over by the allies of the German mercantile fleet and the provisioning of Germany have defi nitely accepted the conditions imposed by the allies. . . A board ot control for German ex ports will be established under the terms of the agreement. This board probably will have its headquarters at Jtotterdam. The Germans will be permitted to buy fish from Norway and resume their own fishing in the orth bea. Blockade Chanice Anked. The German reoresentati ves asked for a modification of the blockade, and while no Dromises were given them in this connection, steps in that direc tion. as a matter of fact, already have been taken. A monthly ration for Germany of 370.000 tons of foodstuffs was fixed by the allied commission. PAKIrf. March 1. Under the agree ment which the Germans made at Brussels, the United States will re ceive eight German ships which will be ready to go to sea within four days. The vessels are the Zeppelin of 15.2U0 tons, the Prins Friedrich Wilhelm of 17.000 tons: the Graf Waldersee of 13.000 tons, the Patricia of 14,46(5 tons, the Cap Finisterre of 14.500 tons, the Pretoria of 13.200 tons, the Cleveland of 16.900 tons and the Kaiserin Au gusta Victoria ot 25.000 tons. Imperator t Be I'sed. The giant Imperator of 52.000 tons also will go to the United States. At the present time the Imperator is stuck in the mud. but it is believed she can be floated in a few days. The total ships made available to the allies under the agreement num ber more than 700. approximately 1,500.000 tons. The vessels going to the United States are passenger ships on account of the American desire to use them for the transport of troops. Those going to France and England are cargo vessels in neutral ports in South and Central America and the Dutch East Indies. They will be permitted to leave with cargoes for Germany with German crews, but under allied con trol when the ships put out from Ger man ports to be handed over they will be manned by Germans, but on arrival In allied ports the crews will be re placed by allied crews and the Ger mans returned. Han Get Credits. There is available in England for im mediate movement to Germany ap proximately 30,000 tons of pork prod ucts, 5000 tons of beans. SuvO tons of rice and 15.000 tons of cereals. The United States has in Rotterdam and on the. way there approximately 75,000 tons of breadstuffs. A summary of tne agreement shows that payment by Germany will be made by freight hire accruing to the Ger mans for the use of the shipping and part from credits that Germany may continue to establish and maintain in neutral countries; part from German exports: part from the sale of German owned foreign securities and part by the use of German gold. The Germans agreed to place a de posit of gold in the National Bank of Belgium at Brussels for use as collateral. they would necessitate additions to the Rrltiah naval K,.. T U i. U,1A doubt among most officials here that ! (6 the British would welcomn an interna- I x tiona! understanding at Paris which would eliminate that source of expendi ture. The standard fighting ship of today is the superdreadnought in the Amer ican and British navies, a vessel with a speed of approximately 23 knots, art armanent of 12 16-inch guns, an armor belt varying from 12 to 14 inches in thickness and a displacement of about 35.000 tons. Such a shiD costs about 320.000.000. The United States has 10 'of them under construction or author ized in the naval aDDroDriation bil which failed in the final hours of the last congress. Propose Type Costly. The proposed ship now urged by some American officers would have a speed of S knots, carry 12 16-inch guns, an armor belt or from 12 to 1 inches, displace about 55,000 tons and cost 340.000.000. It would carry the same offensive and defensive power as the superdreadnaughts and would make six knots an hour greater speed. The price of this increased speed, officers declared would be a doubled cost of construction and almost double size, the latter carrying with it far-reaching engineering changes in harbors, navy yards and drydocks. No such vessels have been built or projected, by any other power so far as known. The."composite" battleship for which Admiral Mayo, commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet, Vice-Admiral Sims, commanding abroad, and many 'other high officers have contended, is sup posed to represent the maximum ob tainable In speed without the sacrifice of gunpower or armor. Coaeama of Opinion Wanted. Among naval men it generally is conceded that there is no quetsion as to the relative fighting value of the existing and proposed types. Having six knots greater speed, the composite craft would have a tremendous advant age, but it is contended that even with all mechanical and economic questions answered in the affirmative, the strategic and tactical value of the six knots increase in speed must be de termined by consensus of professional naval opinion before so radical a de parture in design could be embarked upon. , The alternative, officers say, is the present programme to which the gen eral board of the navy clings super- battle cruisers as a powerful scouting (& wing. There Is no present thought of , VV any compromise design. The British battleship Hood, nearing completion, is such a compromise and valueless, in the American view. While the Hood will have a speed of 28 or 29 knots, her eight 15-inch guns measure as 7 to 12 in gunpower against ships already afloat and with 9 to 11-inch armor her protection is as 9 to 12. She is regarded here as a freak ship, not likely to be reproduced as a type by the British or any other navy, since she can neither run with the battle cruisers nor He in the line with the battleships. The Hood does, however, point the way toward the composite cruiser battleship.

SAVE YOUR EYES 'A . FOE GIVES CP HUGE TOXXAGIi Total of Ships to Be Surrendered Is About 3.500,000 Tons. LONDON. March 15. The Associated Press learns that, while the total ton nage of German shipping to be sur rendered cannot be accurately ascer tained, it may be estimated roughly at three and a half million tons, includ ing ships in neutral ports. As Italy already is in possession of the Austrian shipping, the management of a very small proportion of the Ger man shipping will be entrusted to that country. France will receive big ocean going steamers to the extent of 73.000 tons. The balance of the tonnage will be divided equally between the t'nited States and Great Britain. The United States' is not interested in cargo ton liage. of which Great Britain will prob ably manage three-fourths and France the balance. V. S.

Several hun dred American officers and eeamen at tached to the cruiser and transport forces already have been sent to French ports to take over the German ships as ihey are delivered, it was learned here today. They are to be supplemented with men from naval forces stationed abroad. The first of the German ships is ex pected to arrive here shortly after April 1. STATE ROADS TO CONNECT Highway Will Soon Initc Pendleton and Walla Walla. PENDLETON. Or.. March 15. (Spe cial.) State Highway Commissioner Thompson announces that about eight miles more of the Wild Horse road, passing through Athena and Adams, this county, will be immediately hard surfaced. The road is a part of the fctate system connecting with the Washington highway system. The commission has advertised for bids on the surfacing of about seven 'miles, leading from Milton, this county, to Lbe Washington state line. Walla Walla business men were here conferring with the county court re garding paving costs and are prepar ing to connect with the Oregon road with a hard surface from Walla Walla to the Oregon state line as soon as this end of the road Is completed.

NEW YORK, March 13. Secretary Daniels of the navy, and a party of naval experts, sailed from here for France today on the transport Levia than to study naval and aviation prob lems. They will visit Great Britain and Italy and will be absent until about May 1. The secretary was accompanied by Mrs. Daniels. An army guard of honor, an army band, Vice-Admiral Albert Gleaves, rep resenting the navy; Major-General David K. Shanks and Brigadier-General George McManus, representing the army, and Admiral Grout of the French navy, met the secretary and Bis party when they arrived at the pier. . The ceremonies corresponded with those ac corded President Wilson on his first trip to France. The Leviathan fired a 19-gun salute as she turned into the river and started on her voyage at 4:30 P. M. flying the secretary's flag. "We are going to Europe to study naval and aviation problems." said Mr. Daniels. "We are going to pay par ticular attention to types of capital ships and aviation. We are going to fly across the ocean some of these days, but I am not giving the date. No doubt congress will be asked for money to develop the aviation ambitions of the United States." As the transport was being warped away from the pier a sailor appeared at an open port, and, grasping a dock rope, swung himself ashore, while his comrades called good-byes. It devel oped that the youth, a member of crew whose assignment to an officers' train ing school had been disapproved by the bureau of navigation, had taken his case personally before Secretary Daniels aboard the liner. The secretary had approved the transfer, the sailor said, and having no mind for another pas sage on the Leviathan, he made his dash for shore.
