German Seamen Interned In U.S.
(Rec. noon.) NEW YORK, May 7. Over 100 German seamen, stranded here since the start of the war, were rounded up in hotels by Federal agents and police, and early this morning were charged with overstaying their leave in the United States. Officials declined to comment, but it is understood the Germans will be interned. They are mostly former members of the crews of Standard Oil tankers, who have been maintained ashore at the company’s expense since the outbreak of war.
