WAR TRANSPORT SERVICE. "Ignorance" and “Incptitude” in Ad- miralty Methods. the the “From point of view of ishipping man the whole history of the i Pvar. as far as the transport service Iis concerned, is a wicked story of lignorance, ineptitude and colossal waste," declares the editor of Syrcn 5' land Shipping, the leading journal of the British shipping trade. He adds: “Costly and useful ships were used Super- ships like the Aquitanin were employ- for months as prison ships. ed on scouting missions, their mag- nificent passenger equipment gutted. Ships were allowed to load cargo or to book a full paSscnger list and then owners were informed that the Ad- miralty required these boats.” An instance is given of a 7,000-ton boat which was all ready to sail, with 200 passengers, when it was taken over and sent to the west coast of South America, although it might have been loaded with coal and rea- lized a small fortune. Another case is given of a 6,000â€"ton boat at Huelvu about to load with a cargo of iron ore for England, which was requisitioned suddenly and sent empty to the Paci- fic, although there should have been plenty of merchant ships available much nearer the desired destination. "How long," asks the journal, “will .thcse methods be tolerated?
