EX-GERMAN LINER BARGAINS

42 Vessels for Sale

"The Daily News" is informed that the ex-German liner Bismarck (56,000 tons), the largest vessel ever built, and now lying in the Elbe, has been included in the list of ex-enemy ships announced for sale or allocation.

Lord Incheape, acting on behalf of the Reparation Commission, recently returned to London, and was besieged by callers with regard to this announcement, which is the outcome of the Government's decision to invite his ce-operation in the disposal of the boats allotted to Great Britain. The exact number of ships on this list is now 42, including the Bismarck and the Wadai (7,500), which were added recently.
