GERMAN MERCANTILE TONNAGE
AMERICA EMBARRASSES DISPOSITION.
Australian" "Cable Association. LONDON, May 8. Britain is attempting to sscure the disposal of German mercantile tonnage on u basis relative to Jier losses in the war. The United States, however, is attempting to retain all the merchaut- • men, seized in American ports. ~n A dmiral Sir Reginald Hallqttfßes that rthfl Jiaval terms in the Treaty, are satisfactory, but any arrangement which , does not allocate German merchant ships among the Allies according to tonnage losses is unjust. Sir Ardhur. Fell says:—"Eight thousand British sliipn wero sunk, and ■*•* ought to be given the ships seized iu American ports to make up our losses."
