lieved that the President is on the point
Of Informing both General Goethals
and Chairman Deuman, OF the shipping
board, that he expects them TO drop
their differences and start on the ut.
gently necessary work Of supplying the
nation with merchant Aeet for war
transport purposes. The President has
Kept aloof from the friction which has
broken out between these two shipping
board heads, hoping that some mutually
satisfactory arrangement might be
reached without his Intervention. but Il
Is now thought that he will not wait
longer than twenty-four hours before
acting.
Rnmors Of Further Dissensions

closer approach 10 harmony IN the ship
ping board during the past few days,
but last night there were rumofs that

asking the President to relieve them Of
further duty. This renewed the reports
Of serious discussions in the board.

bers Of the board this morning to con
