ARMY OF WORKMEN OVERHAULING LINERS Imperator, Olympic and Aqui- taniato Be Soon Ready For Jcean Service. London, Jan. 23.--An army of workmen is engaged in overhauling thé three great trans-Atlantic liners, | Imperator, Aquitania and Olympic, to place them back inthe service at the edrliest possible moment to meet the heavy demands of transportation to and from America. In overhauling the Imperator, which is expected to be back in service in Febuary, it is reported that a hole was found in the swimming tank, and some Cunard officials have suspicions of the Germans purposely boring a hole in the tank before the liner left New York, thus causing large quantities of water to enter the boiler rooms. It is mow hoped that the Aquitania will be ready for service in June. The work of reconditioning The White Star liner Olympic is being rushed. She Is in the hands of 2,000 workmen. It is asserted that all ocean giants now being recondi- tioned will have the same sumptuous interior fittings as in pre-war times, despite greatly increased cost of labor and material.
