In the Days News.

Charles A. Piez, who is about to retire
from his place at the head of the Unit
ed States shipping board, is one of the
eminent experts whose services were en-
listed by the government during the
war. Mr. Piez is resident of Chicago,
where for some years he has been at the
head of large industrial concern. When
the war opened with the United States
as militant, as an expert in the max
in of conveying and mining machinery,
he was called to Washington to advise
with the production committee of the
shipping board, and one of his first com
missions was to study at first hand the
various shipyards of the country. His
report not only provided the desired
information for the board, but it GER
tilted to his ability as an investigator
and as bold and original adviser. For
the past year he has been the active
head of the board.

FATEFUL DAYS AT PARIS.

1t is hard for those of US who are
performing our daily duties under nor
NAL conditions to realize the tensitv of
the situation at Paris where the peace
delegates are trying to finish the treaty
to be submitted to Germany next Fri
day. An agreement on the terms to be
Submitted to Germany apparently have
been agreed upon but there is serious
disagreement among the allies over the
relations to exist between them after
the treaty has been signed by Germany.
The Italians are not willing to ac-
cept the principle of no division of
spoils among the victors and are in
sisting on valuable additions to their
territory, apparently promised by the
| treaty of London made and entered into
| before United States had become a CO.
| belligerent. Now the United States
insists that no secret treaties entered
into by any of the allied powers shall
be considered valid or of force in the
period of hoped for peace. Italy insists
upon the pound of flesh pledged to her
| by England, France and Russia and
| threatens even to seize the territory de-
sired if the peace conference will not
award it to her. 1t is not easily I'M
derstood here why an exception to the
rule should be made in the case of Italy
or why she should be allowed to take
territory that may continue to be a
bone of contention after peace is de.
