GRy Associated Press.

Washington. Nov. 15.-The United

dred thousand tons of shipping to
the stream of ships carrying Am
erican troops and supplies TO the aid
OF the allies. Negotiations with the
northern European neutral nations
and with Japan for tonnage have
reached a final stage. and the vessels
obtained either will go directly into
trans Atlantic routes, or will release
American ships for this service.
The European neutrals finally have
agreed TO turn over to the United
States and the allies ships in ex-
change for foodstuffs that only Am
erica can supply. The quantities Of
food 10 be furnished will be determin-
ed later, but the neutrals have the
assurance Of the American govern
ment that they will be given enough
to meet their necessary require
ments.
japan will sell outright to the
United States a large amount OF
tonnage now in the Pacific. in ex-
change for steel ship plates the Jap
anese are anxious to obtain to com
plete their merchant shipbuildinE
program. Only the matter OF price
the Japanese are to receive for their
tonnage, remains to be agreed on
and that, IL was said. will be worked

MEN WANTED FOR
SCHOOL POSITIONS
Demands Made Upon MayVilIs Nor
NAL DaiIy-Positions Pay From
$50 70 SIPS Per Month.

MayvilIe, N. D., Nov. 15.-Hardly a
day has passed since the opening OF
the present school year without the
Mayville normal school being asked
for young men for public school prin-
cipalships paying from $40 to Si25
per month.
The school has not been able to
meet a single one Of these requests
because all its young men, available
for such positions. were located early
during the past summer.
1t is largely on account OF the war
that the demand for young men as
principals is at present 40 much
greater than ever before. Undoubt-
eddy this increased demand will con-
tinue while the war lasts.

Paris, Nov. l5.-The new inter-
allied war committee was character
lied as a superior war council" In
a declaration read by Premier Pain
leve in both the senate and the
chamber OF deputies yesterday.
I'VE do not doubt that the United
States, whose troops have been sum-
moned to fight upon this front. will
give their adhesion to this council
said he. Negotiations concerning
the other fronts will ultimately be
carried on with Russia and Japan.
THE object of the council is not
to direct the details of military
operations, but to define the general
war policy and the general plans OF
the allies, adapting them to the re-
sources and means of which they
dispose so as to assure the strong
and legal holidays not included.
AS in the first draft all registrants
must follow all processes for them
selves. The notices will be mailed to
each person and if he does not re-
ceive them only he himself is
responsible. Nonreceipt will not
constitute an excuse. Failure to re-

The vast amount of fatal sick. ness at the different canton ments, in this country, shows a lack of proper care of our soldier boys who have given their ser vices and young manhood to their country. Most of the deaths have been from pneumonia, after measles. Either the hospital ser vice is bad or inexperienced doc tors and nurses are provided. One thing is certain, and that is, that when our sons are called to battle for the freedom of the country they should receive the very best attention possible for the Government to give.
