Freshmen with previous experience will have a chance to go out in shells on Monday, and they will probably be graded into definite crews before the week is over.

Five liners constitute the U. S. Lines: Leviathan, George Washington, Republic, President Harding, President Roosevelt. The first three were seized from Germans during the War, the other two were products of the Government's Wartime ship-building program. As the operator of the U. S.

General Dalton is doubtless in accord with the proposed governmental action likewise announced last week: to offer for sale $27,000,000 worth of liners, including the entire United States and American Merchant lines. Excepting the Leviathan, these ships are, for the most part, of the "President" class formerly sold to the Munson and Dollar interests for little more than $1,000,000 each, with the stipulation, however, that the buyers would continue the service for a minimum of five years...
