The Nord-Deutscher '-Lloyd Line of Bremen has 133 vessels, tfith a total of 721,000 tons. These are the bigg Sat steamship companies in the world, the nearest approach to them boiftg the British-India Line, with 149 steamers of 670,000 tons in the aggregate. The two German companies lent a number of their large steamers to the Government of the Fatherland, and a goodly proportion of these, which were equipped m auxiliary cruisers, have been sent to the bottom by the British Nary. The great majority of their vessels, however, are fiATcly in port, either at home or in neutral countries, for despite the pretence of surprise that England should have entered the war, the commanders of such of the hig German liners that were at sea early in August, 1914, were warned to turn in their tracks and rush for harbour immediately Germany decided to embark on her great enterprise of world conquest. Since that date these veestis have been engaged in the very unprojfable occupation of ‘‘eating their heads off.” THE DEINK THAT MADE MILWAUKEE FAMOUS.
