By Associated Press
Washington. Dec. 2 6.—By the di- ■
rection of the President the former
German passenger ships, of the Im- :
perator group, now in New York
harbor, are to be delivered to Great
the Shipping Board an
nounced to-day.
The vessels are those assign
ed the United States alter the armis

troops and designated by the inter
allied naval council to tie turned •
over to Great Britain under the ;
armistice terms. The Imperator has j
already been delivered to the Brit- j
ish.
Seven in Group
In a letter to Secretary Lansing
made public to-day, John Barton
Payne, chairman of the Shipping
Board, says;
"I ant directed by the President
to comply with the request contained
in your letter transmitted to me this
day from the White House and to
advise you that the seven ex-German
ships, to wit: Graf Waldersee. Zeppe
lin, Pretori, Cap Finistere. Mobile,
Prinz Friederich Wilhelm and Kai
serln Auguste Victoria, now in the
harbor of New York will be deliver
ed to the representative of Great
Britain as soon as the proper person
is designated to receive the same."
Delivery of the ships to Great Bri
tain was delayed as the Shipping
Board wished to obtain the use of
the American owned oil tankers for
merly under the German
proposal was made by fThalriilfih
Payne that each country be permit
tod to use the vessels desired pend
ing a - final determination of their
ownership.
N'o action has been taken so far
on this proposal and the transfer
of the former German ships to Great
Britain is made without any ex
planation other than that it was
done by direction of the President.
Action Follows Report
The President's action, it was said
at the State Department, followed a
report from Great Britain that the
ships be surrendered under the orig
'rxtl allocation of the Inter-Allied
Shipping Commission, which ar
ranged to get the vessels out of Ger
man harbors following the armistice.
On investigation, it was added, the
department had found that the
United States had no right to retain
the ships beyond the period of their
service in bringing back American

The total number of arrests in 1919.

rests were disorderly practice.
Property stolen during these 51 1

j property recovered this year is less ;
i than that recovered last year, the fig- '

Scientist Is Seeking
Evidence of Lost Land
in Southern Pacific
By Associotcd Press
Buenos Aires, Dec. 26.—F.videnee of i
a lost continent in the Pacific Ocean !
a 6.000-mi!e prehistoric "bridge" oft
; land between South America and I
Hawaii, long submerged, is being!
sought by an American scientist. Wll- |
liam Alanson Bryan, professor of zoo-|
logy and geology in the College of I
Hawaii, who left Honolulu last June'
on his remarkable quest.
Dr Bryan, who came to A9rgentina '
byway of Mexico and the west coast I
Of South America, where he studied
volcanoes and Andean geology, is!
about to return to Valparaiso where l
he will hoard a ship for the little is- i
land of Juan Fernandez. 400 miles out !
The island is inhabited bv a smali!
-olony of fishermen and their fami
lies.
"In the Philadelphia Academy ofi
Natural Science," said the professor,
"1 was surprised a year ago to dis
covery certain little fresh water mol
luscs from Juan Fernandez that were'i
extraordinary similar in their char-l
acteristics to certain molluscs in
Hawaii. So T determined to visit the'
island, study these shells and its en-'
tire flora and fauna."
If the J tan Fernandez molluscs
should prove to be eloselv allied with
those of Hawaii. Dr. Bryan explained;
in an address here, it would prove
that land connection had existed, as I
the species must have traveled from'
Juan Ferdandez to Hawaii or vice!
versa by the rivers of the prehistoric'
continent.

Ninety-Eight Per Cent,
of Machinists Vote to
Strike Against R.R. Bill
By Associated Press
Washington. - Dec. 26. Ninety
eight per cent, of the 123,000 union
, railway machinists voted in Novem
ber to strike with other trades if
Congress should enact the Cummins
railroad bill with its antistrikc pro- i
vision.
In making this announcement to- I
day William H. Johnston, president 1
lof the International Association of ;
I Machinists, said the vote was taken j
(before the Senate Interstate Com-!
' merce Committee reported out the ,
i Cypiqi&a measure .and that the re- ,
suit wne tiwt trfffctally published be
cause the association did not want to
appear In the attitude of attempting
to threaten Congress,
j The machinists' membership is
| uround half a million, but not more
ithan 125,000 of this number arc em
ployed on railroads.
President Johnston explained that
i the strike vote stipulated that union
..'railway machinists would quit aork
' ,if the Cummins bill was passed by
|, both branches of Congress, not by
i one.
j "When the roads were taken over
| by the government, the employes
were free," Mr. Johnston said, "and
j we propose that If they are turned
; brick to private ownership, the em
-1 ployes shall he equally free. There
is no necessity for such drastic leg
i Islation as is provided for in the
, Cummins bill. There never has been
■ a general railroad strike and there
i never will be, in my opinion."

vlped they will not be given another
