WASHINGTON, December a.-Neso-
tiations between the northern ncutrals
and the United states over tho en-
forcemcr, OF the embargo policy have
been moved to London for Anal con-
clusion before the interallieu economic
council. attended by Vance Mccormick
and DIR. .iionzo Taylor for the United
States.
1t is predicted here tonight that a
settlement OF the Whole Northern Eu-
ropean economic situation will be
rea clied shortly after the London con-
ference convcnes. Agreement between
the United States and the northern
neutrals was within reach during the
week. it is understood. Then certain
objections by France and England to
;he terms upon which the United States
was willing TO retion Norway. SwcIcr
Denmark and Holland were made.
Agreement had been reached ut The
plena." council of the allies in Paris
that al economic rs well as military
questions would be treated as ono, and
the embargo negotiations we're accord =
insly moved
Tho prediction here OF a successful
conclusion OF the negotiations in Lon
don is interpreted to mean that the
traffic between the northern neutral
countries and Germany has now been
reduced TO minimum. and that the
United states can ration these coun-
tries without undue danger OF !Amert-
rsn supplies helping TO feed the Ger
man army and civil population. Some
traffic into Germany admittedly Is GO
ing on. This is OF such q nature, how .
over that II cannot we'll be stopped

! acauchtial In the German ccononl il
scheme
IN return for The rationing agree

hrutrals. The ncutralE will permit the
'i'!les TO use large proportion OF
ihclr merchant vessels. The Unit ed
states, it is understood, was willing
TO make use OF these fleets wholly out

MEM YORK. December 9.-The first
Of a series Of baseball meetings which
Will have an important bearing on the
sport next year will bc held here to-
morrow, when The international League
magnates assemble in annual confer
euce. The chief problem will be the
advsnbility OF continuing the league
during the season OF 1918.
Opinion appears to he divided upon
this point among those financially in
terestcd, and the outcome Of tho con-
ference cannot be predicted. The more
conservative advocate a waiting policy
with the hope Of favorable develop
ments during the winter and early
spring, rather than a definite decision
at this time.
II is probable that plans will be
made for tentative schedule which
may call for Il shorter season, and
other arrangements made for curtail-
ins expenses, in case /; is decided to
place the league affairs in condition
for play next summer.
will I've an important factor in this
decision. Several big circuit mnguates
arc understood TO favor the continual
ton OF the International. One has put
himself on record as approving such
action even though il be necessary to
change 10 some extent the present list
OF cities represented. Such move
involving the shifting OF franchise. has
been informally discussed for some
time.
