ident Wilson as a part Of a general
program of the American and Allied
Governments for releasing ships to
transport troops and supplies to Eu-
rope.
Will Shift Trade Routes.
The less essential exports and I'm
ports will be reduced to a minimum
and materials regarded as necessary
will be transported by the shortest
hauls possible. The Allies are work
ing in close cooperation with the
United States and the trade routes
Of the world, in many instances, will
be shifted to bring the most econom-
ical operation of tonnage.
To Make More Reductions.
The Allies have already cut their
foreign trade sharply, but will make
further reductions as a part of the
general plan. American representa-
tives sitting in London will work with
Allied representatives in eliminating
and rearranging ocean commerce to
free ships for war service
Licensing of American exports and
imports will be handled by the War
Trade Board, which has created a
special cOntraband committee, with
final powers in deciding the country's
foreign trade policies. The board,
which already issues licenses for the
large number of commodities over
which the Government has exercised
export and import control, will work
with the State Department, the De-
partment of Commerce and the Ship
ping Board is arranging trade routes.
Ship Controller To Be Named.
The Shipping Board has formed a
special division under Dean f. F.
Guy, of Harvard University, to pre-
pare statistical data on shipping and
commerce. To bring about a proper
coordination between the Shipping
Board and the War Trade Board, it is
likely that controller of ships and
cargoes will be named to see that
the ships are used in the most eco
nomical manner.
Control Neutral Tonnage.
Control of exports and imports and
Of bunker coal by the United States
and the Allies given them control Of
neutral tonnage and officials predict
that virtually all the ocean.going ships
owned by the neutrals will be in the
American and Allied services before
many months.
Officials declined to speculate to-
night on the changes in routing Of
Americas foreign commerce likely to
grow out Of measures to be put into
force. It is known, however, that the
War Trade Board is inclined to turn
to Latin-America for more materials
and to cut CORRESPONDENCE the coun-
try's trade with the Orient 1t is prob
able that many articles, such as rugs
and art objects now received from
Japan and China, will not be granted
import licenses. 1t is likely that as
many rare materials as possible will
be brought up from the South
Americas trade balances will be az
'ected considerably by redist ~ibuting
commerce and one of the concerns Of
he Government is to maintain them
IN as favorable basis as possible.

CHAPTER XVI.
The Queens Call.

It would be difficult to estimate the
mingled rage and horror that swept
over London that nighs when the news
came of the admiral's treaty.
The admiral felt that he had rid
the world Of a dangerous menace for
bagatelle. But the feeling in the
Admiralty was one of humiliation and
vindictiveness.

Either Curbed Or Entirely

New York.-Means have been found
to make troops transports unsuitable
by submarine, according to a state
ment made by William L. Saunders,
vice chairman of the Naval Consult
Ing Board, in an address at a dinner
of the University of Pennsylvania
Alumni in this city.
Mr.. Saunders said that one of the
ships recently commandeered by the
Government now lies at an Atlantic
port and in such shape that she can
not be sunk by an exploding torpedo. I"
Il can conceive of no reason why
this information should be withheld"
he added. ION the contrary, l believe
it Is wei! that the enemy may come to
realize that the time has been reached
when American transports are ready
for the transportation of our troops,
which that enemy cannot sink. This
ship may have hole 30 to 40 feet in
diameter blown in her side and she
will remain atloat. Such a hole would
waterlog but one-tenth of the honey

Mr.. Saunders described in detail the
plan to keep ships afloat after they
had been torpedoed, and the manner
in which it had been developed by Will
liam F. Donnel1y, New York marine
engineer, working under authorization
of the naval consulting board.
"Of course it will take some time to
equip similarly the large number of
transports We have" continued Mr..
Saunders. 1T is my belief, however,
that nothing will be left undone by the
administration to safeguard the lives
of large troop contingents to be moved
across the Atlantic"
