DISAGREEMENT ON PRICE.
Which United States Shall Pay for Jap
anese Ships.

Washington, d. c., No. l9.-Confidenet
that negotiations looking to the exchange
of American steel for Japanese tonnage
viii be concluded successfully was ex
pressed by officials here last night despite
Japan's apparent refusal to sell her ships
at the price offered The question OF
price, it was said, is the only point that
remains to be cleared up.
The negotiations were begun last
summer when the United States put an
embargo on steel exports, denying ship
ment except where the steel was to be
used in a manner that would benefit the
allies in the conduct of the war. Japan
had Just placed large orders in this coun-
try for ship plates aud entered protest.
The American reply was that if the Jap
anese would divert tonnage to the trans
Atlantic service the United States would
agree to free the steel.
The japanese asked for 100000 tons
of steel agreeing TO charter to the Unit
ed States an unnamed number of mer-
chant ships. In counter proposal l00,
600 tons of steel and offered to purchase
outright whatever amount of ship ton
mage the japanese were willing to spare
1t offered to pay about sI75 ton for
the ships, the valuation the shipping
board has placed on American tonnage
and agreed that Japan should be charged
no more for its steel than the Ameri-
can government is paying.
Since ships are selling in the open mar

Japan considers the price offered for her

NO PEACE BEFORE 1919
Declares Congressman Mccormick After
Visit to Europe

| Chicago. Nov. l9.-Russia's collaps,
and the unreadiness of the United States
! make hopeless any thoughts of peace be
| fore 1919 in the opinion of Medill Nc
| Cormick, congressman large of Hi
nois, who has just returned from a visit
to most of the important fronts of the
European battle line.
Mr.. Mccormick in a statement last
night said:
"The Germans are not winning the
war.
Neither are we.
"The war presents a stalemate from
which we are unable to extricate our
selves. because of the collapse of Russia
and the unreadiness of the United States.
Nowhere in Europe did / find an in
formed soldier or public man who be-
lieved that a military decision could be
achieved before 1919, when the United
States might add effectively to pressure
on the central empires. There is practi-
cally no hope that Russia can be useful
during 1915 Russia is 80 disordered
that she cannot make war. Happily, in
all probability, neither can she make
peace.
"The resources of the central powers
have been theoretically spent. They are
bleeding terribly. But they act with
greater energy. unity and skill than
their enemies. Thus they made seem
inglv successful drive into Italy. The
real object Of their political foray into
Venetia was partly to make camoufiage
to conceal their steady losses from Yer
dun to Passchendaele and partly to pro-
woke revolution in Italy.
"The Italians were under gunned,
neither had they enough ammunition
But even so. they would not have been
driven back if the two or three divisions,
debauched by the spy system of Ger
many, had not thrown down their arms.
"The French and British have a mod
crate preponderance in guns and, man
for man, they Outright the Germans.
"While there are still excellent Ger
nan divisions in Flanders, there was an
lppreeiable diminution in the morale and
he physical quality of the German
-roops on the British and French fronts. |

do. however, wish to call attention
to the proposed introduction of athlet-
les into the schools for the avowed
purpose of holding the interest Of the
so per cent of the school population
which now drops out before the end
Of the fifth grade. To my mind, the
proper answer to this problem is not
athletics but vocational training. The
80 per cent Of school children, who now
drop out of school so early, join the
army of incompetent workers, dissatis-
fled with themselves and all their

If there are funds available for any
purpose outside of elementary necessi-
ty, to my mind. they should be spen,
in the acquisition of competent phys

exercises to all school children and
with individual attention to the child
who especially needs it. This expendi-
ture would be for the benefit of al
children, rather than for the favored
few, and would supply that ounce OF
cure.
One of the greatest objections to col
lege and high school athletics Is that
il provides intensive physical exercise
for the limited few-sometimes too in
tensive for the physical well-being OF
the participants and often interfering
with their attention to their studies
meanwhile leaving the great mass OF
the school body entirely unprovidet
