Hud Germany not been compelled to hand over tho whole of her mercantile fleet, she would have had one of the finest, though not the largest, fleets or cargo steamers In the world. Leith Harbor, in Scotland, is the port where all these vesßols have been .assembled to await their assignment to various countries. An Interesting account of the activity in Leith Harbor lias been obtained from an officer of the steamer..Traunfels, now lying at Melbourne. In the enrly part of this year, says an Australian paper, he was sent to Leith to Join the Traunfels, which hod just been brought from Bremen.

The harbor, lie says, was full of vessels flying the armistice flag, and during the ilmo he spent there vessels were arriving daily from Germany In twos and threes. They were manned bs- German crews, and were immediately taken charge of by the naval authorities By far the greater part of these ships were given to British companies which had lost most heavily during. the war, while the remainder were mostly given to France and Italy The majority of the steamers appeared to be from 9000 to 10,000 tons gross, and many were much larger.

The Traunfels is one of the largest of a fleet of steamers built in Germany during the war, and is equipped with all modern appliances. She was built at Bremerhaven for the Hansa Line, one of the leading steamship lines in Germany, and tl?e present voyage lis her ,t under the management of Runclman and •> She has a carrying capacity of 10,800 tons, and is loading a full cargo of flour for Hamburg She can steam 13 knots when fully loaded
