in Italy and the aid America will rem

today between Secretary Lansing and
Count di Collerc. the. Italian ambas-
sadOr. ltaly's crying need for ships
was given especial consideration.
Ships are Promised.
Approximately 100000 tons of ship
ping has been promised italy by the
shipping board. Four vessels already
have been turned over and the others
will be delivered as fast as possible
The shortage of ships is so serious,
however. that the shipping board has
to pick them mp as 1t can find them.
and the whole amount of tonnage
promised may not nc available under
80 days.
Coal and Steel Needed.
Italys greatest need is coal and
next steel for her munitions factories.
She has been drawing on this coun :
try for about 100000 tons of coal a
month, but now that English coal is
harder to obtain. her requirements
| from the United States will approach

is likely, it was said today, however
that Italians will make trade will
Spain for n large amount of Spanish
