Hreitung <>r New York anil Chicago has raised the question oof releasing ships owned hv German lines which ran to the United States in a way which It is feared may cause trouble between the United States and Great Britain. The Hamburg American line, the North Ger man IJovd anil others had many big and costly vessels—including the great Imperator—ln American ports when the war broke out. Great Britain has taken the position that these ships could not be transferred to American owners and sent forth on the high seas. Mr. Breitung clainf* to have brought the L>acia from the Hamburg American !,ine. He loaded her with cotton at Galveston. The State Depart ment. having sounded the British government, has received an answer that the ship is still considered German. That means when she sails from Gal veston on her way to Rotterdam shewlll be seized and confiscated, just as all German vessels have been driven from the seas by the British fleets. The administration at Washington is said to have determined that the vessel shall be considered American. Mr. Breitung is reported to have or dered her to sail regardless of the British government. That will force ths issue directly, and may mean trouble. WOLF RESIGNS AS j DEPUTY ATTY. GEN.
