HURLEY To URGE
WORLD UNION Of
SHIPPING TRADE
American Laws Governing
J. Seaolea and American Pay
Suggested As Standard for
World to Prevent Conflict.

Washington, November 1S,-Chair-
man Hurley of the shipping board,
who sailed for Europe last Saturday
to prepare for the return of American
troops to this country and for moving
needed food supplies to the war-fam-
ished nations overseas, also plans to
seek an international agreement be-
tween the governments, shipping in
terests and labor organizations of the
principal maritime powers for the
Standardization of seamen's wages and
working conditions.
1t was said today that Mr.. Hurley
expects to propose that the American
laws and agreements between the
government and the seamen's unions
on these subjects be accepted as the
standards. and 1t is understood that
the American Federation of Labor and
the British Seamen's union are pre-
pared to support the proposal,
Such an agreement as that contem-
plated by Mr.. Hurley, it was said,
would eliminate the chief difficulty
that has confronted American ship
ping interests in their attempts to OPP
crate ships in competition with other
nations. Tke standards for American
seamen are said to be the highest in
the world and now that this country
is putting a great fleet of ships on the
seas. officials believe that unless some
international agreement is reached "a
great proportion of trained seamer
will he attracted to the American
merchant marine.
1t was learned today that the ship
ping board as far as consistent with
the necessities of government needs Is
diver ing ships to normal trade routes
and that within few months officials
hope to have American ships carrying
needed commodities of peace to South
and Central America, Asia and Africa
as we'll as to Europe.
Some ships requisitioned by the
shipping board during the war are be-
ing turned back to private owners and
the board plans to return such vessels
as rapidly as possible. In all 2,500,-
600 tons Of shipping was requisitioned
In turning the vessels back. the
hoard II was said, will not relinquish
any of lis right to any vessel. The pri-
vate companies will carry on the de-
tail work of maintaining, naming and
operating the ships, taking their car
goes at the direction of the shipping
board and paying wages fixed by the
board. Some members of the board
believe that at least two years must
elapse before control of any of the
requisitioned ships can be given up.

not likely that il viii be possible for

Washington, Nov. 1S.--The direct
cost of the war for all belligerent ma
tions to last May ! was reported at
about 175,00O, 900, 600 by the federal
reserve board bulletin, issued today,
and it is estimated the cost will
amount to nearly 5000, 600, 100000 he
fore the end of this year. These cal
culations were compiled by the board
from various sources and while their
accuracy is not vouched for, the
board believes the figures are sub
stantially correct.
For purely military and naval pur-
poses it is estimated that all belliger-
ents had spent about $132.000, ,000,
100000 to May /, or about three
fourths of the total war cost. The
balance represented interest on debt

into Belgium today while the remain

Throughout the night the army
rested on its line of approximately so
miles in such a tactical position as to
be able to meet any eventuality.
Flanking forces were ready for inn
mediate action, the supports were in
their proper intervals, the artillery
was moved into position and even
machine gun Inducements were
made. The Instructions are that sim

exercised throughout the movement.
Weather Was Cold.

army of occupation, which is the Of
fetal designation of the force, smug-
gled into their blankets during the
coldest night of the season. The roads
were frozen and a heavily clouded
sky added to the dreariness of the
field of operations but not Withstand
ing the weather conditions the men
were cheerful and the scene present
ed from heights overlooking the area
was one of the most spectacular of
the war.
Miles and miles of camp fires be-
trayed the presence of the army on
the hill sides and in the valleys. The
lessened need of caution caused the
men to abandon the custom of shield
ing their fires, and instead of the
miniature affairs previously allowed
there appeared thousands of fires,
some of which approached the pro-
portions of celebrative bonfires.
The advance into Belgium was
made from Ecouviez. jpst on the
French side of the border. Advance
patrols of the army had camped
there, with Major General Le Jeune's
second division at Mon.medy.
Cross Frontier at Dawn.
The men went over the frontier
line just after dawn. Iamorteau was
the first village occupied. From La
moreau the line moved up the roan
to Virton, where many civilians re-
manned. Their JOY at seeing the
Americans was given fun play.
Further to the south the line swung
through Briey, the center of the FAM
Gus iron mining district.
The entire progress was accomp-
lshed without any untoward incident,
the Germans apparently acting in
good faith in accordance with the
terms of the armistice.

ROOSEvELTS WISH

Colonel and Mrs, Roosevelt
Protest to- Ganeral March.
Against Proposed Transfer
of Body to United States,


New York, Nov. 1s.-Col. Roose-
welt today authorized the announce
ment that he and Mrs. Roosevelt
would visit the grave of their son,
Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt, in
France at the spot where he fell aft
er his airplane had been shot down
by the Germans. Colonel Roosevelt
made public protest he sent to Gen
eral March, chief of staff of the Unit
ed States army, against the planned
removal Of his sons body to this coun-
try.
General March consented Lieuten-
ant Roosevelt's body should remain in
the grave in which it was buried by
the Germans and instructed General
Pershing to carry out Colonel Roose-
velt's wishes.
In his letter TO General March, Col.
Roosevelt referred to the report that
the American dead would be taken
home after the war, and continued:
Mrs Roosevelt and ! wish to enter
a most respectful but most emphatic
protest against the proposed course
so far as our son quentin is con-
cerned. We have always believed
that:
i" Where the tree falls,
" There let 1t lie.'
I'VE know that many good per-
sons feel entirely different but to us
it is painful and narrowing long aft
er death to move the poor body from
which the soul has fled. We greatly
prefer that quentin shall continue to
lie on the spot where he fell in battle
and where the foeman buried him.
After the war is over Mrs. Roose-
welt and I intend to visit the grave
and then to have small stone put
up saying it is put up by us but not
disturbing what has already been
erected to his memory by his friends
and American comrades in arms"

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Demobiliza
tion of the army air service presents
q separate problem on which war de-
partment officials now are at work.
How it is to be accomplished so that
the aircraft manufacturing industry,
now a government monopoly, can be
preserved has not been disclosed. but
it is possible to state authoritatively
some of the considerations that will
govern rehabilitation plans.
Secretary Baker is known to regard
the air service as the field of military
enterprise in which the greatest de-
velopments are to be expected. For
that reason the army program to be
laid before congress probably will
show recommendations for continuing
the aviation branches on a scale dis
proportionate to the other arms of
the service. Every effort is expected
TO be made to improve existing types
of planes and engines or develop new
ones.
Retain Many Men.
1t is also certain that the plans now
being formulated will make provis-
ion for retaining in the permanent
military establishment officers and
men who have displayed marked abil-
ity in the operation, production and
equipment of aircraft.
In addition to the manufacturing
monopoly, which includes the assem-
bling of scientific data of the utmost
value on the whole question of air
flight, the government has complete
monopoly over the training facilities
for fliers. 1t owns thirty-two flying
fields in the United States. all fully
equipped and has built up preliminary
courses in colleges and universities in
all parts of the country. The home
aviation schools are fitted to turn out
1000 men a month rated as reserve
military aviators, and there are in
this country more than $4,000 men
who either have passed through that
school system or nearing completion
of their training.
