(New York Tribune)- 'SPORTDOM SPARKLERS | DAMAGE T0 SHIPS 1S DONE IN VAIN America Never Intended to Use German Vessels | Washington, Feb, 7.—Every one of the seventeen war-bound German merchant ships examined by American officials at Philippine ports since the break with Germany has been dam- aged by her crew so badly that six months or more would be required to make any of them seaworthy. An official report says that of the twenty- three vessels tied up in the islands all but threc had been inspected, and none had been found which could be put into condition without a large ex- penditure of time and money. So widespread and thorough has been the concerted disabling of Ger- man ships in American ports that some’ officials think it could be ex- plained only by a blanket order) from Berlin. It is suggested that such in- structions might have gone forward early in the war, or might even have been issued as a standing order be- fore the war, to cover such an exigency as now has arisen, There has been no indication, however, that the American government has authen- tic information on the subject. The policy of the government is to make no use of these ships, even if war comes. It was said authoritative- ly that there had been no decision even to take over the ships in the event of war, much less use them. Under the present intention of the government, therefore, the net result of damage to the war-bound ships will be the expense and delay for re- pairs their owners must face before they can get inta the rush for after- the-war trade. Officials here believe the crippling of the big German mer- chant fleet in the Pacific will offer Japan an opportunity she will not be slow to take, to put horself at least six months ahead of Germany in the trade struggle in those water: A The bas the administration’s position, it is stated, is President Wil- son's determination ta conduct the affairs of the nation so that no taint of commercialism can attach to the government’s action if America is drawn into the war. He is anxious that no ground be given for charges | that a desire for acquisition of Ger- man merchant ships, admittedly of inestimable value for establishment of an adequate American merchant marine, was in any way a factor in the situation. The crippled German vessels in the Philippines probably will awalt re- pairing for a considerable period. There are few facilities for Tepairing them in the islands, and no steps toward sending them to the United States or sending men and material from the United States to da the work are contemplated. After the war they could be repaired possibly at Japanese plants, but the attitude of officials here 18 that this is a problem solely for the owners of the vessels. U-BOATS ACCOUNT FOR 44,457 TONS Fourteen Merchant Ships Is Total for Single Day London, Feb. 7.—The sinking of fourteen ships with a total tonnage of 44,457 was reported yesterday by Lloyds’s Shipping Agency. One of the vessels, the British steamship Port Adelaide, was a passenger-carrying ship. Ninety-six passengers and crew were picked up at sea. Whether any captain of the vessel is said to have been captured. Of the vessels destroved six were neutrals, five of them being owned by Norwegians. The other neutral was a Swedish vessel. In the matter of tonnage, Britain suffered most, five ships destroyed under the having a total of 30,079.

It is unknown whether any of the crew of these vessels are still missing. The udmiralty announced that the erew of the Belgian relief steamer Tiuphrates, the sinking of which was’ announced February 1, has beer land- ed at Gibraltar.

If the various out of town athletes are willing to compete here next week the meet will be staged in the Garden on ' Tuesday or Wednesday night. While Gen. O’'Ryan’s orders is & sweeping one, it bestows certain dis- cretionary powers on the command- ers of the various regiments by al- lowing them to issue permits for semi- private affairs, such as they might want to hold in their buildings. ‘When the general was asked if it would be possible to classify an ath- letic meet as a semi-private affair he replied that it absolutely would net, and that all athetic games were barred | until further notice.
