ThaL the great German liner Vaierland has again been placed in commission by the United States at an expenditure of a million dollars on repairs occupying less than six mouths, is considered remarkable by shipping men. Ordinarily the repairs necessary would have taken a year but. wax methods prevailed in the dockyard to which she was assigned, and she has been iput into shape in record time. The Vatcrland, with her tonnage of 54,000, is a great acquisition to the American transport tervicc. She can carry 5000 troops across the Atlantic at a speed of 24 knots, which makes her almost immune from submarine attack. Next comes the Georgo Washington, of 25,570 tons, and altogether there are amongst the hundred Hun vessels seized in tho Dnited States ports 16 of more than 10,000 apiece. All were deliberately damaged to as great an extent as possible by their former crews. More than half are again ready for service. MESS-TABLE GOSSIP. Mr. M.
