Davis, who is also chief neutradlity officer of this district. The customs department has two steamers, Golden Gate and Hartley, which are used by customs inspectors in boarding incoming steamers.

Under the law, upon the declaration of war, all such craft and guard bottoms are automatically transferred to the navy. This condition happens at a time when inbound commerce heaviest: in addition, the collector, as chief neutrality officer, is responsible for the German vesgels Serapis, Ottawa, Neptune and Atlas, anchored off Yerba Buena Island. Interned ships may not be tied up at' a dock--they must be anchored that the armed guard may have a clear view of all. boats approaching them. These guards are changed every eight hours.

They cannot be asked to swim. and the collector has no means of transporting them to shore. In a wire to Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, Davis asked the reassignment of the Golden Gate and Hartley to his department. In the meantime should some loyal citizens proffer the use of power crafts for the period which is bound to elapse until the colloquial red tape is being unwound in Washington, the collector of customs will be grateful.
