 With the state departments sane tion, MT. Flood told how the Japanese missions visit here resulted in ex- change of notes between Secretary Lansing and Viscount Ishii, which, he said, removed causes of friction be- tween the two countries and works for peace in the far east, making quite remote the possibility so often discuss ed of trouble between this country and Japan"
 "Rationing of neutrals, involving an interference with some of the vital supplies of such countries as Holland, Denmark and Sweden" he said, ''is a matter calculated to create intense irritation, with the tangible risk of its developing into enmity. Too much cannot be said of the splendid man. her in which the state department handled this delicate situation. There is no friction with any of the neutrals growing out of the course which ouI government was compelled to pursue with reference to these matters 1 Telling of the expansion of the in- terchange of information between the ] state department and Americas diplo- matic and consular service, MT. Flood said this service was valuable for publicity purposes abroad. leading tc Q clearer view of Americas aims and i activities.

 we do not pretend to take the po- sition of discussing matters with our former employers" said MI. .Garretson. ''we don't intend to deal with sec ond set of employers and having come here to put all the cards on the table, we don't intend to disarm ourselves" :"
 MT. Lee said the demands for in- creased wages were asked solely be- caus of increased cost of living. He understood that the administration de- sird standards of living should be maintained and that the railroad worl CTS would therefore be justified in asking for the entire 4S per cent. in- crease in the cost of living. But, he added, that they had asked only what they considered fair, increases ranging from 20 to AZ per cent.
 Lee said he had evidence that vet eran railroad men were displaced by inexperienced employees at important gateways, that engines had been al- lowed to freeze over night, and that train crews had been called out and kept waiting until the 16 hour law overlook them before being sent out of the terminal
 Asked by Chairman Lane of the railroad wage commission who was responsible for these things, Mir. Lee said he believed he could trace it back to about four banks in New York city, which control railroad financing, if he wished to seek the real cause.

Judd, of Waterbury, chairman of the hotel and restaurant division of the food ad- ministration, received a message from the national food administration today outlining the food program.

WATER SUPPLY FOR TROOPS IN
 CAMP GROWING

Camp Devens, Feb. 5-An officer of the 76th Division, a lieutenant, has been placed under arrest and is fac ing court-martial for breaking the War Department rule forbidding the assignment or Experimenting of pay by officers or men in the service.
 An order had previously been is sued calling attention to the men of the seriousness of this offence, which consists of assigning pay or drawing money from a bank, or borrowing from a private individual, giving as security the voucher for their pay before the pay is due.
 Brigadier General F. D. Evans has begun 8 daily and weekly barracks inspection at the camp. The principal idea of the inspection is to see that all men keep all wearing apparel. and every article of equipment in it's proper, definite place. In this way, when later the regiments are in ser vice overseas, thene will be no confu- sion if a surprise attack at night is en- countered. The plan follows the Jap anese military idea of putting every thing in one certain place each time it is laid down.
 In accordance with this inspection Lieutenant w. P. Knox has made a blue print showing where every arti- cle of apparel or equipment should be placed.
 An appropriation has been made 1 for the improvement of the water sys- 1 tenn at the camp, and the work of con- 1 structing artesian wells will be begun ! immediately. Pipes from the artesian wells will be connected with the main well. It is estimated that the water supply will be increased at least 50 per cent. by this system and a SUD- ply of over 100000 gallons per day more will be added to the present SUD- ply.
 Sergeant Carleton Halliday of Com pany E, 301st Telegraph Battalion died here last night. Death resulted from pneumonia, which followed an attack of measles. Many companies are still quarantined because of measles among the men of the com panies.
 A basketball team composed of all
 star players is being picked at the camp and a challenge has been issued to Rabbit Maranville's Navy Yard team. Camp Devens boasts of many former college and professional stars
 and expects to take the measure o1
 the Navy Yard team.
