JAPAN QUITS TRYING
To GET U. S. Steel
Negotiations Fail Because of Amer.
ica's Shipping Demands.
Says Toxic.

Toxic. Nov. 1S-Au negotiations
between Japan and the United States
regarding the steel question have been
stopped. officials announcement was
made here today that further nego-
tiations along the present lines are
impossible"
The statement says the reason for
failure of the negotiations was the
request of the United States for 5oo. 900
tons of Japan's 100000 tons Of ship
ping. Japan, the statement asserts,
offered to spare 10000 or 10000 tons.
Japan shipping needs are declared to
be great, with 6OO.0OO tons os cargo
awaiting transportation. Japan. it is
added, nevertheless is willing to aid
the allies in every way.
The announcement says japan will
supply her own shipbuilding needs un-
til next year. when new plants now
under construction will enable Japan
to supply all her needs.
Immediately upon the publication OF
the official Statement telling OF the
failure Of the characterization ne
gotiations, a wave Of speculation on
steel flooded the market.

AMERICA Fighting
PRUSSLAN SERPENT
Rev. DR.. Wood Declares u. S. Sol
diers Only Possible Agent.
of Peace.

There are soldiers whose name is
more terrible to humanity than cobra
or boa constructor" said the Rev. DR..
Charles Wood In his sermon last night
at the Church of the Covenant
'Ask people to choose whether they
would see set free in our streets thou
sands Of poisonous reptiles like those
that stung the Israelites. or hordes
OF soldiers such as invaded Louvain
and Liege, slaughtering men, women
and children, and outraging young
girls in the very presence Of their
mothers" said DR.. Wood.
TT Is because q giant anaconda has
wrapped itself around one-haf the
earth that We have called our army
into existence. Its mission is to de-
liver. to succor, TO feed and to free
the slaves Of uncomfortable tyranny.
Many OF US have been members of
peace societies, yet we thank God for
these soldiers. the only possible her
aids Of enduring peace. When our
armies reach Belgium, Serbia and
Armenia, the sufferers there will be
as wild with Joy as were the mission
aries in the compound at Pekin, dur
ing the Boxer uprising. when the Unit
ed States marines with their allies
came to their rescue.

bread to little children with big eyes
and to women with wan faces"

TROOPS TO ENFORCE
alien REGULATIONS
Unnaturalized Workers Near Water
Fronts Must Register.

According to information available
here last night, the issue OF Presi-
dent Wilson's proclamation for the
better control Of aliens awaits only
arrangements for the troops to en-
force the regulations. It is expected
that the regulations when issued will
find forces of soldiers on hand at
designated places to see that they
are Immediately enforced.
The taking OF the enforcement Of
the restrictions against aliens out Of
the hands Of the civil police 10 looked
upon here as possibly foreshadowing
court-martial lor any persons found
guilty OF connection with sabotage.
1t was reported here last night that
the War College Is now making plans
for the assignment OF troops to the
various districts to be guarded.
The report received here yesterday
of another fire in q war industries
plant in New York City hastened all
Of the preparations for the enforce
ment of the new proclamation, and
in many quarters It was predicted
that the new control OF suspects
would be In full effect tonight.
In addition to the requirements for
all aliens to register and report at
intervals, all will. 1t is believed, be
compelled to pass a picket line in
approaching water fronts and war
plants.

RUSSIA'S CREDIT
IN U. S. STOPPED
BY REVOLUTION
Government De termined
Not to Aid Any Party /,
Advocating Peace.

Neither money NOR supplies from
the United States are seriously men-
aced BY the Russian revolution. II
was learned last night that the gov
ernment has long since foreseen this
contingency and that help for Rus
sia has been 20 arranged that no aid
from the United States will reach any
government there which may make q
separate peace with Germany or
which will fail to prosecute the war
vigorously.
Though a credit Of more than ,1oo,-
10000 OF money in the United States
Treasury Is stilI available for the pro-
visional government, no check can be
drawn on this money without the ap-
proval Of SECRETARY McAdoo. No at
tempt has been made to draw the
money since the Kerensky govern
ment was overthrown- The requests
have been made by Ambassador Bakh-
meter. acting both as Ambassador
ard high commissioner at Washing
ton for Russia
Il was stated at the RrXsian EN-
bassy yesterday that no considerable
amount Of supplies Is at this time on
the way to Russia and likely to fall
into the bands of the Bolsheviki. It
is an open secret that all supplies for
Russia have been held up for the pres
ent.
It was predicted last night that II
any effective way could be found by
the President and the Russian Am
baSsador whereby the hands of the
provisional government could be
strengthened, such steps might be
taken. The difficulty Of such Q step
Is increased. however. by the fact that
the radicals apparently have control
Of all the entrances to Russia ..
Considerable satisfaction was evi-
dent in official circles yesterday at the
failure Of any important new German
offensive to develop during the week.
Neither on the west. the Italian nor
the Balkan fronts has there been any
evidence that Germany has been able
to, release more troops from the Rus
san line. This Is taken here to mean
that the line cannot be drawn upon
further until peace with Russia Is ac-
tually accomplished.

DRAFT APPEALS
ARE NULLIFIED
All Pending Exemption
Cases Dropped by Rul-
ing of Crowder.

Men who have been drafted and
have appeals from the decision Of
the local board pending will have
their cases automatically thrown
out by q new ruling Of Provost
Marshal Gen. Crowder in connec-
tion with the complete revision OF
the draft regulations.
Maj. Easby-Smith. legal expert Of
Gen. Crowder's stan who, with Col
Hugh Johnson. did most of the work
in revising and reorganizing the
draft system. yesterday explained
that all such appeals will automati-
cally cease to exist, as the man will
be returned TO the position he was
In before being called before the
draft board.
The text OF the new rule by the
Provost Marshal General follows:
The deferred classification Of ex-
perts and men highly skilled in In
dustry or agriculture is intended TO
prevent the waste incident to in
duction into military service of men
whose special qualifications render
them more valuable to the national
interest in some other capacity.
There are, however. circum-
stances in which the need OF the
military establishment for men ex-
pert or highly skilled is such that
the national interest is better served
by inducting such men INTO military
service than by leaving them en-
gagged in industry or agriculture.
In such circumstances neither de-
ferred classification on the grounds
Of engagement in industry or aRri-
culture nor the order numbers here
tofore assigned by lot can be per-
mitted to defer the call OF such
men into military service"
In order to eliminate all waste Of
time in handling the draft, physical
examinations will be the last work
to be taken up. Each man VIII be
card-indexed and classified regard
less Of his physicll condition. Only
when he 10 actually called for serv-
ice in the order OF his classification
and draft number will he be put
under physical examination.

Mexicans Not Drafted
By u. S., Says Carranzs

Mexico City, Nov. 1S.-In reply to
the lower house, which sought in
formation regarding the statement
that Mexicans are peing drafted and
enrolled in the American army,
President Carranza declares that
there was no truth In the report
that Mexicans are being molested
or unlawfully- enlisted in the Amer
lean army, which was being organ
lied on account OF American par
ticipation in the war.
He explained that the draft law
required all foreigners, including
Mexicans, to register and undergo
medical examination; those not
American citizens or unfit for
service were exempted and that the
Ministry OF Foreign Relations has
been doing its full duty toward Mex
leans residing in the United States.

WOMAN NTERNED;
DISCLOSED SECRETS
Said to Have Received Money from
German Government.

New York, Nov. ia young woman.
secretary to a vice president Of one Of
the biggest and wealthiest electrical
supply corporations Of this country.
has been placed in an internment
camp until the end Of the war.
Two weeks ago the Navy Department
ordered from the corporation over its
privately leased telegraph wires q
large quantity Of wire for subsea use.
The vice president received the order.
He transmitted It to a shipping clerk
Two hours after the order was re-
ceived a message was on its way to a
German agent in Mexico informing
him of the transaction.
The next day Secret Service oper-
atives arrived at the office of the com
pany. The vice president said that
none outside Of himself, his secretary
and the shipping clark knew of the or
der. The young woman was called
into the room. She admitted author
ship Of the message to the German
agent.
She said that the illness Of her
mother and her desire to educate a
younger sister and brother had made
her salary Of 5000 insufficient to meet
her demands. A member OF the Ger
man organization here. she said, had
offered her a sum equal to her yearly
salary IL she would communicate
with the agent in Mexico every time
the government placed a large order
with the concern employing her. She
said she had done this successfully
for several months.
She was interned that night. It was
said today, and a few days later
was shipped South to a camp.

De SAULLES TRIAL
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

Manning will preside at the trial. Ex-
traordinary precautions have been
taken to insure orderliness, not alone
In the procedure but in the conduct of
the audience.
Realizing that the prominence Of the
De Saulles family and that Of the de-
fendant must inevitably bring q large
crowd clamoring for admittance to
the court, Justice Manning has laid
down rules which will be rigidly en-
forced. Beside the accredited news
paper representatives, who will be ad-
mitted upon presentation of specially
issued passes, there will be TAINTED
space reserved for the public. When
that.is filed no others will be permit
ted to enter.
Sheriff Phineas Seaman said that In
view Of q letter received by Justice
Manning several days ago, in which
he was threatened with Everlasting
dsmnation" unless he uses his efforts
to free the defendant, precautions win
be taken to keep cranks away.
