U. S. WILL CONTROL
SHIPPING OF WORLD
ports That Do Not Directly Aid
in Crushing Germany.

Washington.-The United States
will control the shipping of the world
during the war; after the conflict she
may emerge as mistress of the seas
with the greatest mercantile marine
afloat This became apparent when
President Wilson issued an order
placing an embargo on the export of
steel and iron products. Every ounce
of steel that might enter into the build
ing of ships will be kept in this coun-
try after August Is. This effectually
will prevent any foreign country OBJ
tanning supplies from this country for
the upbuilding of merchant marine
to dominate the seas at the close of
the war. Japan, it is believed, will suf-
fer a heavy blow. Immense quantities
of steel have been exported to the ORR
ent in recent months for use in ship
building Progressive Japanese states
men have boosted that after the war
Japan would be mistress of the Pa.
cific and also have a large share of
the trade in the Atlantic.

London.-On the battle now in pro-
gress in Flanders depends possible
peace. This was the impression which
gained ground as from all quarters

the war Their first detectives, at

the British and French now are await
ing the clearing of the skies before
launching another blow. The Germans
are mobilizing to meet that blow. A
great war council, presided over by
the Kaiser and attended by Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg, Quartermaster-
General Won Ludendorff, the German
precht of Bavaria, commander of the

sells, behind the German front.
The tremendous importance attach
ed to the battle by the Germans is at
tested by this hurriedly called confer
ence of the high command. Mean
while the British and French leaders
are plotting the next stroke. The bat
tie will be decisive. That is agreed
upon in all the capitals of Europe. 1t
will result either in the heaviest pos.
sible blow to the German submarine
warfare by the destruction of the
U-boat bases on the Belgian coast, and
if this result is attained land blow
of tremendous proportions as we'll, or
it will confirm he stalemate on the
western front and leave the way open
to no other settlement of the war than
by negotiation. The peace talk now
being heard in several capitals, nota-
bly, Vienna, must wait, it is believed
here, on the decision in Flanders.
Then, whatever result is attained, the
time will be ripe for peace.

PEOPLE REGISTERED A HEAVY
VOTE AGAINST CoNsTITU.
TiONAL CONVENTION.
VOTE IS EXTREMELY LIGHT
Opposition Of Country Press, Apathy
On Part Of Citizens and Absence
Of Many Voters At Military
Camps Help To Defeat.

Nashville.-Incomplete returns from
"a counties show the proposition to
hold a constitutional convention in
Tennessee was Overwhelmingly defeat
ed at the polls Saturday. Less than
'one-half of normal vote was cast.
Perhaps the most surprising feature
OF the voting was the showing in West
Tennessee. In this section friends Of
the proposition to hold convention
claimed their strongholds, but despite
the fact that Shelby county rolled up
q majority of almost 1000 for the con-
vention and at least four other coun-
ties-Dyer, Gibson, Fayette and Hay
wood-favored the new organic law,
the sentiment was so strong against
the proposition and the vote so light
that 1t went across the Tennessee
river with 1922 votes behind.
In the big middle Tennessee coun-
ties immense majorities were rolled
up against the proposition, in some of
the counties the vote being eight TO
one against It.
East Tennessee registered its pro-
test with light vote and heavy ballot
ing against the convention idea. The
fast counters were at work early and
huge majorities were rolled up in al
most every county.
The cities failed to show the favor
for the convention idea it's friends had
hoped.
Memphis alone rolled up a big ma
jority in favor of new constitution.
Nashville and Chattanooga, with a
light vote, broke about even, while the
proposition was lost in Knoxville.
Opposition of the county press, APP
athy on the part of citizens, absence
of many voters in military camps and
the opinion that the present time is in
opportune were few Of the contribut-
ing factors to the loss of the conven-
ton plan.
Those who favor a new constitution
are not disheartened and still believe
that when the time is opportune and
the people Of the state are given a fair
opportunity to express their opinion
and a fair count is had verdict for a
new organic law for Tennessee will be
registered.
The vote by counties on the con-
Vention follows.

TO RING AGAIN

Raids IL VIII again Peal Forth To-

CHERTSEY, Eng, April .17.-Cur-
few may ring it's head off tonight, with
the passing OF the ban on needless
nocturnal noises. And the Chertsey
Curfew is the old original and only
genuine must not ring tonight" con-
traption that inspired the poem.
When the Zeppelins were making
periodic tours to strafe the tidy little
Isle it was a question whether engine
bells, curfews and the like didn't serve
as a guide. The authorities couldn't
find out definitely so they refused to
take any chances. Every curfew in
England had it's throat done uD in a
muffler and there was nothing doing
on the happy chimes.
Chertsey was hard hit by the order
inasmuch as the local curfew has been
a part of the towns life for seven on
eight aeons.
Well, now the Zepps have had theil
wings clipped pretty short and the
risk is brought down to a minimum
so the curfews are telling their tale
or tolling their tell with old time sol
emnity.
