Alice was owned by David H. Morris of New York City on 8 May 1917 when it was purchased by the United States Navy. The second Navy ship named Alice, it was commissioned on 29 September 1917, after which it was assigned to the 3d Naval District as a dispatch boat through the end of World War I ("transporting inspection and inventory parties around New York Harbor").
