BOSTON "L" CREWS REFUSE
 TO POSTPONE STRIKE

Boston, July 16.-Members of the Boston car mems union will go on strike on the Boston Elevated Rail- way system at four o'clock tomorrow morning, in accordance with a strike vote taken on Monday. An effort by city officials and union leaders at a mass meeting tonight to have the men postpone action was shouted and Vot- ed down.
 The meeting was called at the re- quest of Acting Mayor Francis J. w. Ford who, with James H. Vahey, counsel for the union; Henry B. En- dicott and others. pleaded with the men to postpone action until Monday next. The speakers were interrupted by shouts of -four o'clock" and Mat thew Higgins, president >> the union, had difficulty in .maintai--lng order.
 Union leaders asserted that the strike would s-nnpleteiy paralyze the street railway transportation of the metropolitan district.5s-.------
 The controversy between the street car men and the Boston Elevated was placed before the War Labor Board on June 19. The men demand an eight hour day and 73 1-2 cents an hour The strike was called in pro- test against delay by the board in an nouncing its award.
 Samuel L. Powers. member of the board of public trustees of the Bos- ton Elevated announced tonight that William Howard Taft, one of the joint chairrnen of the War, Labor Board, had telephoned him from Murray Bay, Quebec, that the board would render decision in the Boston Elevated case on Aug. 2.

VIOLENT DECLINES IN
 FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET

New York. July 1s-Absence of a short account with a heavy influx of commercial cotton and grain bills re- sufting from the approach of the crop moving season were the reasons at tributed today from further violent declines in the foreign exchange mar ket when sterling and francs fell to the lowest quotations ever recorded here, while the Italian rate approxi- mated the low point made during the war.
 According to bankers conversant with existing conditions, still further declines may be expected unless steps are taken speedily to stabilize the market. One large dealer in foreign exchange declared he would not be surprised to see England ship more gold to this center to improve the sit uation, as she did in 191. provided she can spare the metal. Large shipments of grain cotton and dried fruits are going to Eng / d, he said. and noth- ing is being 4oceived in return.

FIRST MAIL FOR
 GERMANY NEXT WEEK

New York, July 16.-The first con- signment of mail for Germany since America entered to war will leave here next Tuesday on the steamship United States, it was announced at the post office today. The United States will land at Christiania, Norway. and from there the mail will be transported to Denmark and thence into Germany.
 Only first and second class and registered mail will be handled for the present, officials said, although ar engagements are being made to take care of parcel post packages and money orders later. Several thousand letters already have been received, the first ones having been sent immediately upon the signing of the peace treaty and held since that time. The rates on mail destined for Germany will be the same as for the rest of continental Europe.
 For the present all German mail will go by way of the Scandinavian countries and Holland, with sailings about once a week. but postoffice off, ficials expect that direct steamship service between here and Germany will be resumed before long. There will be no censorship on German mail, pOstofiice officials said.

Washington, July 16.-In an az gressive effort to diminish senate op- position to the treaty with Germany, President Wilson will begin at the White House tomorrow a series of per sonal talks with republican senators.
 With his reiterated offer to consult with the foreign relations committee unaccepted and with his opponents on the republican side evidencing no pur- pose to seek his counsel, the president decided today to adopt the more di- rect method of inviting republican members to the White House and lay ing before them one after another his reasons for asking that the treaty be ratified
 A half dozen senators, whose names were withheld, were asked to meet the president tomorrow, and it was indicat- ed that the invitations would be a daily feature until MT. Wilson had seen most of the republican membership of the treaty ratifying body.
 The presidents letters of invitation, sent out by mail late. in the day, had not been delivered tonight and there was much speculation as to the choices he had made for tomorrow's confer enceS.
 Pending receipt of the invitations senators reserved their opinions as to the move, although republican leaders opposing the treaty in its present form did not hesitate to predict that the

BETTER FEELING BETWEEN
 GERMANS AND POLES

Paris. July Is (By the A P).-The Americans as well as others of the peace delegations seem confident that difficulties between the Poles and the Germans can be adjusted so as to hold the plebiscite in upper Silesia without the necessity of using foreign military 1crces. Plans for the plebiscite are being perfected rapidly.
 All German and Polish soldiers will leave the district peaceably, according to present indications, and enable the allles to organize a local police force sufficiently strong to insure proper conduct Of the balloting.
 The United States, as well as the ether powers, it is said, have expressed m the supreme council meetings v illingness to send troops to upper Silesia, if necessary. The delegates 1 enerally are said to be of the opinion that the Germans are disposed to exc cute in good faith that part of the treaty terms calling for the evacuation of the Baltic provinces, upper Silesia and other parts of Poland occupied by German troops.
 There are said to be many indica- tions that the extreme bitterness eX- isting there six months ago is disap- nearing gradually because of a gen erzI desire to avoid further fighting and to begin the work of economic re- construction.

U. s. Shipping Board Will
 Await Settlement of Strike
 Union Leaders Claim 400 |. Vessels Tied Up.

|. New York, July 16.-After several futile conferences with representatives of the American Steamship Associa- tion and union leaders, the United States shipping board decided today to abandon any attempt to operate the ships under it's control until some set clement could be reached with the striking seamen, firemen and en- gineers. The freight congestion in this port is rapidly increasing and the union leaders claim that at least 400 vessels are tied up.
 Representa- of the shipping board and the steamship association will : meet again in Washington to- morrow to make one more attempt at formulating conditions which will be acceptable to the strikers.
 There was no renewal today of the disorder which occurred along the water front last night when hundreds of strikers attempted to force men who had refused to join their ranks oi ships.
 The United States Shipping Board issued an appeal tonight for volunteers to man six ships to convey milch cat tie and railway cars to France under a contract between the French and American governments. Three of the ships are at Norfolk and three at this port, the crews of all six having join- Ted the strikers.

CONSERVATIVE DRYS
 WARN RADICAL ELEMENT

Washington, July 16.-Conservative members of the prohibition faction in the house set out today to curb what they described as radical attempts to make the pending enforcement bill so drastic that it might create a revul- sion of feeling throughout the coun- try on the whole question of liquor drinking.
 Warming was given by the conser- vatives that if the radical element went too far and added other severe restrictions they would be certain to invite defeat in the senate and pos sibly find all of their work thrown out by a presidential veto. The need of wise counsel was pointed out by the conservative prohibitionists in view of the published announcement that Re presentatiVe Morgan. republican, of I Oklahoma, and member of the ju-
 dietary committee. had given notice th-< he Would~-sndeaUor to make it a violation of law for a man to keep a tjug of liquor in his own home for his I own use.
 1 Indications tonight were that con sfderation of the measure would not be resumed tomorrow.

White House talks would fail to lessen the opposition to unreserved ratihca- ton.
 Those in the presidents confidence indicated that the burden of his ap- peal to the republican senators would concern the League of Nations and the Shantung settlement, the two pro visions which have aroused greater criticism in the senate. It was pre- dicted that he would tell his callers the complete details of the negotia- tions on these points and on any others that might, be brought into question.
 That it might be in a better sit uation to consider the Shantung pro vision, the foreign relations commit tee agreed today to ask the state de- partment for copies of all available treaties bearing on Japanese and German interests in China.
 Shantung will be the subject of more discussion tomorrow in the sen ate, Senator Sherman. republic, Hi nois, having announced he would speak against acceptance of the trea- ty provision giving control of the peninsula to Japan.
 During the day President Wilson saw two democratic members of the committee, Senators Swanson of Vir- ginia and Pomerene of Ohio, and talk ed over the senate situation with them. It was understood he reiterat- ed his opposition to any reservations in ratification of the treaty.

SALE OF "HARD7 LIQUOR
 IS EFFECTIVELY STOPPED

Washington, July 16.-Prohibition is being enforced effectively throughout the United States. Attorney General Palmer said today. The sale of hard"
 liquor such as whiskey. gin and bran dy, has virtually ceased. he asserted, except for scattering violations of the law as are inevitable with any new restrictive statute. Manufacture and sale of beer is also prohibited except in communities where the courts have ruled against the contention of the de- partment of justice that 2.75 per cent. alcoholic drinks are forbidden by law, and in those Jurisdictions prosecutions will be instituted if the supreme court finally upholds the departments view.
