This was as far as the announce ment made by the state department goes, but it was learned authoritative ly that French commission composed of officials and officers equally as distinguished as the British repre- sentative also will be in Washington about the same time. This commits sion will be headed by M. Viviani, at present minister of justice in the French cabinet, and formerly premier.
 It is not known definitely whether any other of the allied powers will send com missioners to Washington, but it is as- stunned that owing to the difficulties in passage and the probable delay, the in- terests of these governments will be con- fided to their resident ambassadors.
 Beyond the, statement that the object of the commission is to discuss gener- ally questions of policy connected with the war no informa ton was given at the state department. It was made clear. however, that in no way will the United States government depart from the tradi- tionaI policy of avoiding anything in the nature of political alliances, though of course, that does not exclude full and intimate military and naval cooperation in the prosecution of the war.
 While it is by no means certain that there will be joint meeting of the visit ing commissions, if the state department should desire to avoid the appearance of an alliance, there is certain to be con cert of action in some way.
 The conference is stated to have been sought by the allied leaders themselves in order to discuss every phase of the

war. No attempt will be made to go into details or technical considerable as the general policies involved are too stu pendous to permit of it. The calibre of the men sent, particularly Foreign Secre- tary Balfour, who is remembered here most warmly for his earnest indorsement of President Wilson's plan for world federation to insure peace, and Minister of Justice Vivian, one of the first half dozen statesmen of France. is very gratifying to officials. Both men, 1t is re- called have held the post of premier of their respective governments.
 One of the first questions to be taken up will be the distribution of the $3,O0o,- o00,000 loan to the allies, for which Pres- ident Wilson has asked Congress to pro- vide. Great Britain has been rendering financial aid on the most extensive scale to several of her allies and possibly when relieved of the necessity for con- tinuing such allowances, she may be able to get along with less assistance from America than she would otherwise re- quire. On the other hand, the countries whose exchange has suffered so heavily, such as Russia and Italy. might find welcome relief from the financial strain by the allotment of American funds which would have 8, reassuring effect upon the standing of these countries in the worlds markets.
 GREATEST PROBLEM
 The great problem before the conference | is stated to be the maintenance of the flow of American munitions and food SUD- plies to Europe. This will first be sought by naval cooperation to fight the Ger man submarines. second. by construction of fleet of wooden merchantmen to negative it's destructiveness, and third, by ways and means to increase manufac- ture and the allies ability to pay for the products.

All Shipping News Now
 Barred by Censorship

Washington, April u.-Efforts of the administration to limit the publication of facts concerning ship movements were discussed at today's cabinet meeting, and afterwards Secretary Daniels transmitted request to all newspapers not to print the arrival or departure of any ship in the coastwise or international trade, or of any naval vessel.
 Previously Mir Daniels had informed the newspapers that publication of arrivals of merchant ships was not objectionable, but 1t was agreed today that. even this was dangerous.
 Secretary Daniels said tonight that he would undertake to see that no advertise ments giving the dates or departures or arrivals of vessels be circulated. He will take up with tn postoffice department tomorrow the question of stopping the publication of the dates for the depar- lures of malls by boat.
