Negotiations Stopped.
London, March IA. P.)-The
negotiations at i. Spa relating to the
shipping question have been tempo.
..rarily broken off, according to a Ger
man wireless message received here
today.
The allies, the message said, de-
n1anded that all the remaining Ger
man ships be handed over uncondi-
tionally, without being willing to un-
dertake the obligation of supplying
Germany with foodstuffs. The Ger
man delegates, ii Is said, received in
structions from their government that
the question of shipping, finance and
food supply must be dealt with only
as a whole. The German message
continues:
"The question of handing over the
mercantile fleet can only arise II ade-
quate food supplies, say $500, 900 tons
of foodstuffs, are assured Germany
until the new harvest. The entente
would not agree to this.
"As instructions to both sides did
not go beyond this. a French dele
gate proposed that negotiations be
broken, whereupon the two special
delegations left Spa"

These applications, however, were de-

The Germans were planning to organize
small forces in various districts, these
forces to act as guard and do police

under this plan.
Since the Americans came the bur-

mans reported their funds were ex-
hausted and they were unable to OBJ

The ground taken by the Americans
Is that ii will be more worthy of them
to pay as they go, rather than leave
debts in the hands of civilians who
might or might not IN the course OF
time be able to collect from the more
or less unstable treasury in Berlin.
Therefore. the Americans will do the

COMPEL BRITISH ARMY
OCCUPATION SERVICE
PROPOSED IN BILL IN
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Enlistment of 100000 Men
to Expire April, 1920-Bill
/, Defended by Churchill.

London, March Capt. F. r.
Guest introduced a bill in the house
of commons yesterday which pro.
poses compulsory service for the
British army of occupation. This
army, according to the bill, would
be composed of 100000 men and the
enlistment period would expire on
April 20, 1920. Alexander Shaw, la
borite, moved the rejection of the
measure because the labor party is
opposed to a continuance of con-
scription.
Col. Winston Spencer Churchill,
defending the bill. argued that the
government. in providing for an army
to insure peace was pursuing a path
toward universal voluntary service"
Our delegates to the peace con-
ference are fighting for the complete
abolition of conscription in Europe"
he said. "A formal demand has been
made that Germany be permitted TO
have only small voluntary army on
long service basis, but it is uncer-
tain whether this point will be car
ried. Our representatives stand Al
most alone in this matter and it is
not at all impossible THAI japan,
France and Italy. and even the United
States, will be nations into whose
military systems some element of
compulsory service may enter"
