HURLEY TO PROMOTE
 SHIPPING INTERESTS

Washington, Nov 1S.-Cbairman Hurley of the shipping board, who sailed for Europe last Saturday to ar rs nge transportation for the return of American troops to this country, and for moving needed supplies to the war famished nations overseas, also plans to seek an international agreemaAt between the governments, shipping in terests and labor organizations of the principal maritime powers for stan dardization of seamen's wages and working conditions.
 It was said today that Mir Hurley expects to propose that the American laws and the agreements between the government and the seamen's unions on these subjects be accepted as the standrds and it is understood that the American Federation of Labor and the British Seamen's union are prepared to support the proposal.
 Such an agreement as that contem plated by Mir. Hurley, it was said would eliminate Ehe chief difficulty ping interests in past years in their attempts to operate ships in competi- tion with other nations The stan dards 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, osl- cials believe that unless some irterna- 1 tional greement is reached great proportion of train seamen will be at tracted to the American mechant ma rine.
 | It was lerned today that the ship ping board as far as consistent with 1 the necessities of government needs | is diverting ships to normal trade
 routes and that within a 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 yes
 sells as rapidly as possible. Tn all
 some 2,5oo,0oo tons of shipping was lrequisitioned.

t. war. cost has been raised by war loans of various nations and comparatively little by taxation. The public debt of the principal entente allies is calcu-
 lated at approximately sfO5. .0o0. 900 600,
 or more than tVSce as much as the ag- gregater debt of the Central Powers, set at $45,000. .000. 600. This does not take into consideration debt incurred since last May.
 The enormous size of the war costs and debts is illustrated by comparison i with the ante-%gr debt of the seven
 principal belligerents which did not
 exceed s25,OOo, ,e0O, 900 The cost of

Our first German prisoners seemed
to think they were to be prisoners only
until rescued. The officers seemed to
think the earth was too lowly for them
to tread on.
Now they come In downcast and sad,
but eager to see their own share in the
hopeless task come to an end. hope
less task they know II Is. The officers
will admit that there Is no chance for
Germany to win or to make II a draw.
The story OF some German surrenders
shows an utterly abandoned hopeless
ness on the part Of some Of them. There
are authentic instances Of 500 men sur
rendering to so, or of one man bringing
in dozen prisoners. or even 20. and in
one case so.
The Germans have lost hope since
they have found out how fatally they
have underestimate the free peoples.

the part OF the Germans. They came
