trail shipping.
The Shipping Board wants the own
ers of neutral ships to charter them
to American interests al the same
rates that prevail for the comman-
deered American ships. The neutrals
insist on a much higher rate.
The neutral owners demand ton-for-
ton insurance instead of the ordinary
cash compensation kind. If a neutral
vessel be sunk while under charter
to American interests, they insist that
it be replaced with a similar ship.
The neutrals are tired of keeping their
ships tied up in the midst of a world

at the end of the war.

Big CHANGES PLANNED
Methods of the British Admiralty
to Be Reorganized.
Step to Be Taken for the Purpose Of
Meeting the Submarine
Menace.

London, May 3.-Important reor-
ganizations of the staff and methods
of the admiralty will shortly be put
into effect for the purpose Of meeting
the submarine menace, according to
the Daily Mail. The changes are being
planned by Premier Lloyd George in
iseaalalsesatioa with Sir Edward Carson
and the war cabinet. The premier has
been lately devoting much attention
to the problem and has directed inn
portant inquiries with view to the
introduction of new methods:
An examination of the administra-
tive machinery with which the admir-
atty has been fighting submarines in
the past is said by the Mail to have
convinced the premier that reorgan-
ization is desirable. The paper speci-
fies two directions in which important
changes are contemplated-namely,
the admiralty inventions board, Of
which Lord Fisher is chairman, and
the department in control of sea traf-
fic.
The Mail claims that the direction Of
sea traffic has been inefficient owing to
a failure to realize the great proper
tions of the submarine menace.
The parliamentary correspondent Of
the Daily News says that he hears "de-
pressing accounts of the Irish situa-
ton" He continues: "The Ulster ex-
tremists are said to have won the day
and to have secured the support Of
the premier to listers views. On
Monday there was apparently sort
of crisis behind the scenes, and Sir
Edward Carson's resignation was
mooted. The situation unfortunately
was eased in the wrong way"
