POOLING OF SHIPPING
 OR ENTENTE ALLIES
For the Economic Struggle Expected
 After the War.

Paris. Dec. IS. 12.05 D. m.-Pooline of the shipping of the entente allies to the exclusion of the flags of all countries now at war with them is suggested for the economic struggle expected after the war by Georges An eel, deputy from .Havre and a spec ialist in such questions. M Ancel believes the benefits of pooling, as il- lustrated by the prosperity of shipping combinations, should be taken into consideration in connection with the rebuilding of the French merchant ma rine and in consolidating the posi- tion which the allies have gained through the blockade of Germany and Austria
 As soon as the seas are open to her merchant fleet. M. AnceI says, Ger many naturally will make an immedi- ate and violent effort to remove her shipping. It is his opinion that she expects discrimination against her flag in ports of France and Great Britain.

INTEREST IN EXCISE ....
 VOTE IN BOSTON TODAY.
Strong Publicity Campaign Conducted
 by "Wet" and Dry" Forces.

Boston, Dec. 1S.-Interest in the out come of the fight to make Boston no-license city overshadows all other interests in the election to be held in five Massachusetts cities tomorrow. The registration, about 10000, is the largest in the history of the city and the almost unprecedented publicity campaign conducted by the wet and dry forces has been aimed to bring out the bulk of this vote
 Although Mayor Curley has another year to serve, the. newspapers have devoted as much space to the cam paign, both in their news and advertis- ing columns, as they have given in the past to an average contest for the mayoralty. Some of the papers have announced that, for the first time, they will issue extra editions on the license result.
 Ordinarily, Boston is considered a n- cense city by a substantial margin. The yes vote last year was 46,115 against a no vote of 31,S77, a majority for the vets of 14,23S. In the fl consecutive years the city has gone license the nearest approach the dry advocates have made to victory was 1892. when they lost by a margin of 1,140. The evangelistic campaign con- ducted by Rev. William A. Sunday is generally admitted to have stimulated activity in this years struggle.
 The other cities electing tomorrow are Fitchburg, North Adams, Peabody and Quincy. In Fitchburg, where the license majority last year was 76, and in North Adams, which went wet last year by 1S4, the license campaign has
 been keen. Quincy last year went against license by 2,40S. Peabody holds its first election as a city. It went
