Allies Will Leave
Control of Shipping
To United States
Permanent Board at Wash
ington to Govern All
Sea Trade

Washington, May 1.-The founda-
ton for an international shipping
agreement among the nations fighting
Germany was laid to-day at the first
formal conference of the British War
Commission with American govern
ment officials.
Within a few days the Allies will
put before this government a definite
programme of their needs in the way
of supplies and plan for spportion-
ing American ships and cargoes.
Attending to-day's conference for the
British were Mr.. Balfour, Sir Eric
Drummond, his private secretary. and
tache OF the British Embassy. The
United States was represented by Sec
retaries Lansing and Redheld and
Chairman Dcnman of the Shipping
Board.
Establishment Of a permanent COM
mission in Washington is contemplat-
ed by the Allies TO handle shipping and
export problems in cooperation with
the United States.
The shipping programme to be pro
posed will carry plan for directing
supplies 10 the countries in which they
are most needed. The American gov
ernment. in bills pending and to be
offered in Congress, would be given di-
rect control of shipping and Of exports.
Thus empowered, and aided by a per
manent Allied Commission. the govern
ment would be in a position TO offer
its resources TO the Allies without tic
hindrance Of dlsorganized demands for
supplies and the embarrassment OF lack
of control over its own ships.
Mr.. Balfour spent most of the day in
conference with his aids. He enter
tained at luncheon Daniel Willard,
chairman of the transportation commit
tee OF the Council of National Defence.
Rear Admiral Dudley r. S. De Chair

Beresford Says
British Shipping
Loss Is Appalling
Admiral Declares He Is Tempt
ed to Inform People if Gov
ernment Does Not
BY ARTHUR 6. DRAPER



London, May 1.-The demand for
fuller details regarding the shipping
situation is increasing daily. Premier
Lloyd George returned again to-day TO
the Admiralty, and the whole machin-
cry of the government is working or
the submarine problem, for it has be
come a part of the military campaign

left flank.
Publication on Thursday of last
weeks shipping Losses is awaited with
keen interest, especially as it is broad
ly hinted that they will show the sub
marines have exscted an even heavier
toll tnsn the week previous.
Admiral Lord Beresford stated in an
address to-day that the shipping losses
by U-boats were appalling and that not
until the people were informed fully
of them would thew realize the impor-
tance of economy. Criticising the gov
ernment for Withholding complete re.

asserted that he was almost tempted
by the seriousness of the situation "a
risk the penalties of the defence OF the
realm act and inform the people him
self of conditions.
When Parliament meets in secre'
session next week the government vii
give details of the sinkings, but the
members are bound not TO divulge any
information.
Military experts here are beginning
TO insist that the submarine campaigf
and the present battle on the Wes
front are inseparable. The critic o.
"The Manchester Guardian" says to
day:
I'VE live in days of paradox. Th'
army is now engaged in an attemp
/ to defeat the submarines. Hindenburi
regards the submarine campaign as ~
outfanking attack on our communica
tons. Hsig is trying TO break through
-ahs-s -sssasy's centre as an auxxer ~
this ass+isg movement. He sgccesde:
! when he forced the evacuation or Fan
| ders and compelled the Germans 70 fal
: back on their present line. Making th'
error of regarding the military situs
: ton alone, without reference to thu
submarines, is as unmilitary and inep
as only regarding the centre Of battle
front and ignoring the wings and com
munications."

Pennsylvania r. r.
ToEmploy Women
In Mems Places
Other Feminine Patriots
as Spellbinders, Navy
Censors and Nurses

War is beginning to open new doors
TO women.
The Pennsylvania Railroad an
nounced yesterday that steps had been
taken preliminary TO a possible substl-
tuition of women for men in some de-
partments. Sixteen women were er-
rolled as yeomen in the navy reserve,
TO act as cable censors. Scores will
appear to-day as stump speakers to
stimulate recruiting. Before the end
of June women who have volunteered
as nurses aids may be sent TO France.
Every general superintendent of the
Pennsylvania lines cast of Pittsburgh
has been directed to report in what ca
pacities they can employ women et-
ficiently. In the announcement it was
said:
at is the intention of the railroad
management in this matter not only to
meet current needs existing through
the shortage of labor, but. as far as
possible. TO anticipate others that may
arise. For this purpose steps will be
taken TO engage and train reserve
force Of women employees who will be
available should any crucial situation
develop in the affairs Of the country"
II is explained that no men will be
dropped from the payrolls to make
way for women. but that some may be
called upon to change the form of their
occupation if it is found that women
can do their work. Some of the occu-
pations in which it is believed that
women can be used to advantage on the
railroad are the lighter forms Of ma
chine shop work. telegraphy, telephony,
signalling. train dispatching. ticket
selling and cleaning cars.
Commander Arthur Bainbridge Will
have tho women yeomen. under his
charge in a cable censorship office at
6A Broad Street. When his staff is com o
plete. including men. it will number
thirty-four. Many Of the young women
who signed up yesterday are telegra
pliers. They will receive s8s month
and handle all cable messages between
New York and foreign ports.

Judge. ] do want TO see proper unit
on the French line at the earliest op-
portunity," he said.
Apart from the sentiment that would
be aroused by having the Stars and
Stripes along with the Union Jack and
the Tricolor on the French front,
apart from the sentiment that would
be thus created, there would be the
tremendous advantage Of opening
these natural lines of communication
and of receiving first hand information
constantly with regard TO conditions
by which we can develop satisfactorily
the force that is being trained at
home. In other words. we need infor-
nation, we need constant information
as TO conditions at the front.
81 thought the other day, in trying
10 look into the future of these ma
tions now at war, of the return of these
millions of men who are now engaged
in the trenches: and there is no doubt
that the England of the future will be
ruled by the men who are now fighting
for her existence; and there is no doubt
in all these countries the men trained
and disciplined by arms who return Will
return with prestige, with the power
of developed talent which will give
them extreme influence. They will be
efficient men"

London, May 1.-The air is pregnant
with rumors, including one that Aus
tra has forced Germany TO new
peace offer this week. 1t is uncertain
whether this will be simply a state

Regulars Wanted at Home

With regard to the regulars, the OBJ
lection usually made and generally
conceded to have much force is that
all Of our small army in this country
will be needed for training the new
armies TO be raised under the pending
law. Moreover, as the regulars would
require practically as much training
on the other side as members Of the
National Guard, there would be little
advantage in sending them TO compen-
safe for their loss in forming new
forces here.
Trench fighting now is the work Of
specialists. Men have TO be chosen
with a special aptitude for throwing
hand grenades and for other functions
of modern warfare, and they have TO
be drilled in their specialties. The
regulars sent TO France would have TO
be put through this training precisely
as the National Guard would.
The marines are also being consld-
cred as this country's first representa-
tives in France. Or it may be that .
combination of ell three forces may
be sent.
In addition 10 the confusion that
comes from military unpreparednoss
is the uncertainty due to the shipping
situation. One OF the strongest re'n-
bers Of the Administration insists
that the question Of sending soldiers
at sll is a question of shipping. And
