BRAZIL IKES GOOD USE
OF GERMAN SHIPS SEIZED
(United Press Staff Correspondence)
RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 20 (by
mail).—When Brazil "requisitioned”
the forty-one German ships interned
in her harbors since the outbreak of
the war, the great southern republic
accomplished an exceedingly good
stroke of business.
By an agreement now completed
thirty of these ships have been chart
ered to the French government until
March, 1919, for a consideration of
$22,000,000. The entire fleet will sail
under the Brazilian flag and each ship
will make approximately 75 round
voyages between Brazil and France.
They will be used exclusively in the
transportation of foodstuffs and raw
materials for munitions needed by
Brazil's allies in Europe. It is estim
ated that these ships will carry more
than $20,000,000 worth of foodstuffs
to France alone, not including 2,000,000
bags of coffee already under contract.
Although many of the ships were
damaged by their German crews and
officers before the Brazilian seizure
in the idea that they could not be used
by Germany’s enemies, several of the
steamers arc already in service and
the remainder will be in commission
in the near future. As far as has been
1 announced but one of the ships will
necessitate repairs beyond the facil
ities of Brazilian shipyards. The S. S.
1 "Leopoldina,” a 12,000 ton steamer,
I will be towed to the United States for
I overhauling and re-outfitting. \
■ It is probable that the eiStaSlsta
| ment of the new service between
| Brazil and France will free many ships
< now engaged in the European traffic
! for service between the United States
I and Brazil. The addition of thirty or
j more first class ships to Atlantic serv
I ice will be a considerable relief to the
I shortage caused by the submarines'
I
activities. Many of the steamship
: lines running to South American
j waters have suffered severely during
j the war, although the additional pa
| trols afforded by the United States
1 and Brazilian squadrons have mater
' ially cut down these losses during the
past eight months. The new Franco
Brazilian line will have a much better
protection than other trans-Atlantic
lines had during the first three years
of the war.
The former German ships will be
controlled by the French government
but will be operated by Brazilian
crews.

ECHOES OP GERMAN STRIKE
NkU \ORK, March 27.—Serious
disorder attended the general strike
in Berlin during the last week of Jan
uary and the first few days of Feb
ruary. according to German news
papers of that period just received
here.
1*or a time the trolley car service
was interrupted in various parts of
Berlin because the strikers had re
peatedly cut the wires. Street car
])Hsst?iij*ors w ere uttRcked, women con.
ducters were abused—strikers throw
ing stones at the women and pulling
them from the cars. Traffic was
blocked by strikers who ran cars into
one another at full speed. Meat
stores were pillaged, bakers were
forced to supply bread without bread
cards.
The strike came as a surprise to the
leaders of the social democratic party,
said the Internationale Korrespondenz,
a Socialistic organ, which stated that
the party leadership had not been
consulted regarding the strike. Later
the party leaders were requested by
the strikers to assume charge of thf
strike, which they did in an endeavoi
to end the strike as soon as possibR
and to see to it that the interests ol
labor were safeguarded.
The strike temporarily paralyzed al
war industries in Berlin and vicinity
especially the airplane plants. Thf
Prussian diet was also affected, as thf
compositors and printers there alsf
joined the strike thus interfering con
siderably with the proceedings owing
to the delay in the printing of bills
and other documents.
