CONCLUDE TRADE
COMPACT TODAY
America and Britain Will Act
Regarding Leakage Of Sup
plies to Germany.

Final arrangements between the United
states and Great Britain for a joint
agreement on shipping and trade will be
concluded today.
Arthur J. Balfour, leader of the Brit
ish mission, had a long conference on
these subjects with Secretary of State
Lansing yesterday afternoon. Today he
and Mr.. Lansing, together with experts
of the British government and the Amer
ican State Department, will meet to take
action.
The question goes beyond supplies to
Great Britain and the allies. It includes
an agreement on what means shall be
taken to prevent leskages OF commodi-
ties and supplies into Germany. The
whole object Is to bind with new bands
of steel the starvation blockade Of the
central powers.
From the outlook last night the United
States will demand of all the neutral
governments OF Europe assurances that
no ounce of food from America consigned
to those neutrals shall be allowed to pass
their borders into Germany.
II these assurances and pledges are not
forthcoming, or If it is found they are
not observed, the United States will cut
of completely all shipments to the
offending country The same will hold
good for the European allies. England
already has such agreements with neu-
trails.
In order to put teeth into the position
of the State Department. the administra-
ton is preparing to get early action by
Congress on the .inter-departmental en-
barge bills. These bills, drawn up by a
board from several of the government
departments have been interned In COM
mittees OF the House and Senate for
several weeks. Until authority to lay
embargoes is put in the hands OF the
President, the State Department can do
little but threaten.
European neutrals are gravely worried
by developments here. Sweden Is send
ing a special delegate, who arrived in
New York yesterday and will come to
Washington Immediately. He will take
up with the government the question of
shipments to that country.
Holland and the Scandinavian nations
also are expected to send special repre-
sentatives.

RUSS GENERALS Agree
To REMAIN AT POSTS

Petrograd, May 17.-Gens. Brusiloff and
Gurko have withdrawn their resigna-
tions. All other commanders have re-
solved to remain at their posts.
These decisions were the result Of a
conference of the commanders-in-chief of
all fronts except the Caucasus in the
capital today. They remove, for the
time being, at least. the crisis which
threatened to undermine the army.
The commanders told of the demoraliz-
ing effect caused in the ranks of the
Russian army by the watchword OF the
council Peace Without Annexation.
Hearing II. the troops saw no use in
further offensive warfare.
The commanders agreed, however that
the spirit of the troops is gradually re-
cuperating and that the armys striking
power is not yet lost They pointed to
the constant political wrangle in the cap
ital as the chief cause of what demorali-
zation there had been at the front.
we can overcome the loss of author
ity." said Gen. Alexieff 'If responsible
persons and organizations will cease
further to interfere with our work.
1T is time to wake up and stop shout
ing, Peace without annexation Let us
have peace negotiations to the govern
ment"
He expressed confidence that the coali-
ton government would solve the difficult
problems confronting it.

DANIELS AWAITS
news OF CLASH
Report on Brush Between De-
stroyer and Sub" Expect
ed Soon from Sims.

The Navy Department last night was
waiting for reports from Rear Admiral
William s. Sims, in command of the de-
stroyer hotiIla in the war zone, on the
rumored brush between an American de-
stroyer and German submarine.
The department had no confirmation
Of unofficial dispatches from Queenstown
reporting the clash. 1t was stated that
both cable and mail reports have been
received from Admiral Sims, but they
dealt entirely with routine matters. dis
position Of the destroyer force and SINH
lar subjects.
Secretary Daniels yesterday was in
cable communication with Admiral Sims,
urging that all matters OF interest be
hurried to the cables so that the depart
ment should be kept constantly advised
regarding the movements of the feet.
This message is expected to draw any
report Of a sea fight. II any has oc-
CURED.
The Navy Department Indignantly de-
MED reports that the men Of the de-
stroyer force were insuficiently supplied
with clothing. A Queenstown dispatch
had said they were forced to put in for
stores from the English depots. It was
declared that each man was equipped
for service in arctic waters The depart
ment also has let huge additional con-
tracts for even heavier clothing, it was
asserted.
In this connection the women of the
nation, represented by the d. A. R.,
Colonial Danes and other patriotic or.
ganizations, have been keeping a moth
erly eye on the welfare OF the sailors
Warm clothing and special kits have
been given to the men with the permis-
sion of the department
1t was known yesterday that the Amer
lean force in foreign waters will be re.
inforced as the naval board Of strategy
considers 1t necessary. The number oi
vessels now on foreign service. and the
number which eventually will be, are
of course, naval secrets.
Naval officials were plainly disturbed
yesterday by the action of the British
admiralty in announcing the presence of
American warships in English waters.

TRAIN SERVICE CUT
AS WAR NECESSITY
Instructions Issued to Enable Railroads
to Assist Government

(By the International News ServIceO
New York, May 17.-Comprehensive
instructions were issued today by the
special war board in control for the
operation of all railways in the
United States on a war basis.
The result will be widespread cur
tailment of train service.
Fairfax Harrison, president of the
Southern Railway, and president of
the railroad war board appointed by
the administration, issued the follow
ing statement tonight:
The railroad war board has issued
a new set of orders to secure the
maximum transportation energy OF
the successful conduct of the war.
The communication to the individual
railroads says in part:
Il Consolidate, when practicable,
through passenger train service and
eliminate trains not we'll patronized.
2. Reduce the number of special
trains and give up running excursion
trains.
80. On. light and branch lines where
two or more passenger trains are op-
Grated try to reduce to one train a
day.
Z" a. Substitute, where practicable,
mixed train service for separate pas
senger and freight service on branch
lines. Closely review number of
scheduled freight trains where tom
mage is insufficient to load them, with
view to reducing their number"

Three Important Steps
That Should Be Taken
BY GOUVERNEUR MORRIS,
Noted American Novelist and War
Correspondent.

The huge army that We are going to
have: the ships that are going to be
stamped out as fast as tin drinking
cups; and the golden eggs that are
going to be laid by the goose after
she is dead, are very likely the ulti-
mate things upon which we must de-
pend for a happy outcome of the war.
A future so bright is not, however,
a sufficient reason for emitting to do
the things that could be done now.
Some OF these things require special
legislation; others could be put in
motion by an executive order. The
Congress haggles, the administration
hesitates, the War Department and
the Navy Department are red with
tape, and the State Department is so
sure that 1t is in a mess that it has
had to issue a refreshing order in
which it forbids itself to criticize IT.
self. What are some of the things
that could be done now? Three OF
great Importance.
The immense energy OF Col. Roose-
welt is wasting itself in trying to get
a plain answer to a plain question. His
case is by no means complex. He
wants to go to France with an army.
France and England want him to
come. But Secretary Baker does not
come to any decision.
shall not here argue the wisdom OF
doing what the countries who have
cried to us for help want done. but
the expediency of having at the head
of things some one who will say yes"
to a simple question or, mo" to It.
A general who in the midst Of a
battle should spend several weeks to
decide whether to order an advance
or a retreat would be whipped long
before he had made up his mind.
Col. Roosevelt should have his army
at once. Either he should be sent to
France or be free to turn his superb
energies and talents in a new direc-
ton

BUDGET INCREASE
ASTOUNDS House
McAdoo's S Request for $445,.

CONSERVATION and amazement reigned
in the House yesterday when 1t became
known that Secretary McAdoo desired
that S445, ,O00,O 900 more must be raised by
taxation. Already the House is working
on the gigantic war revenue bill OF 81, 500,
10000. The McAdoo increase would mean
total of $2,245, 10000.
So sudden was the announcement that
the House was thrown into a small panic.
Even Claude Kitchin, the chairman OF
the Ways and Means Committee, and an
administration leader, appeared to have
been unappraised of Mr.. McAdoo's re-
quest. On Wednesday Kitchin opposed
Congressman Lenroot's proposition to in
crease the surtax on incomes. Yesterday
when Lenroot proposed further increases
Kitchin said:
II do not see how any members OF the
Ways and Means Committee can oppose
this proposed tax"
Lenroot saved the situation temporar-
ily. for by his proposition he checked a
rising movement stimulated by Congress
men Hill, Madden. and Martin to send
the bill back to the committee for COM

Petrograd, May 17.-Russia has no
symbol of her new estate. She has
no flag. There Is no national an
them. The present national inertia
may be due to this very lack.
The eagles OF autocracy have been
barred as a symbol. The Russian
flag has been discarded. The red
nag was a distinct symbol-the mark
OF revolution. 1t accomplished its
purpose. Now the revolution is over
and the flag has lost 1t meaning.
Peace really seems to be the ma
