BRITISH CALM
over FLEET ROW
Willing to Divide German
Ships But Will Sink
Their Portion.

London, March 21.-The storm of
Indignation from the ItaEan and
French press at the suggestion of the
British admiralty that interned Ger
man warships should be sunk is not
disturbing the British.
II the Italians and French will
not agree to this proposal, Great
Britain is willing to divide the ships
but will sink its own portion, the
United Press learned authoritatively
today. Utilization of the ships has
been thoroughly considered by the
British. According to an official OF
the admiralty, this was the conclu-
sion:
Use of any of the surrendered feet
as fighting craft is impractical unless
shells are manufactured for the Ger
man guns. 1t does not tend toward
efficiency to employ two entirely diff
ferent types of ammunition The cost
would be prohibitive. The construc-
ton Of German warships is entirely
different from that of allied craft and
special means would have to be pro-
vided for their maintenance, equip
ment and repair. Their use as mer-
chant vessels is impractical, owing to
lack of cargo space.

In response to an appeal for assist

Acting Secretary of War Crowell

co., 900 to the railroad revolving fund.
Money was Owed.
The War Department owed the

to cover future obligations to be in.

Profit Of $2,500,0O0.

Purchase of fifteen National army

Department yesterday. This an
nouncement was made by Acting
Secretary OF War CrowelL
All except two of the National
Guard camps and two aviation fields
will be abandoned Immediately,
Twelve other aviation camps will be
temporarily retained for storage
purposes and later abandoned. All
camps now owned by the govern
ment will be retained.
No decision has been reached as
yet with regard 70 disposal or re-
tention OF Camps Kendrick and Vail
in New Jersey.
Business Proposition.
Acquisition of the, camp sites was
determined upon purely as a busi-
ness proposition. cit was explained
The decision to take them over was
not reached, the Acting Secretary
declared. with any idea of universal
military training or other military
policy.
Approximately 5000 has been
spent in establishing the cantonments,
OF this amount, *6O.OU.0oO is in un-
derground improvements water
mains, sewage. etc. The annual rem
tai on them is 100000 and it will
be necessary to keep all of them for
at least two years, and some of them
as long as three years in order to
carry out the rehabilitation plans.
The camp leases carry provisions
recurring the department to restore
the grounds to their previous condi-
ton. Practically all the lands taken
over for camps were used for farm
ing purposes. To bring them back to
their previous condition would neces-
state the building of barns and fences
and restoration OF the fertility Of the
soil.
The cost for paying for these DAM
ages to the lands, on which the ma
tional army cantonments were estab-
lished, II the government should aban-
don them, would amount to S,50,oo,
the departments engineers have es-
timated. This would be total loss.
VIII Realize PROFIT.
BY purchasing the cantonment
sites, the department hopes to real
ize a profit of S2.5O0.000. The pur-
chase will cost s9.5OO,OOo. As the
greater part of these lands are sit
uate adjacent to cities and towns
end all modern improvements have
been installed. it is believed they
can be sold off in lots as suburban
property. As farm lands. the de-
rartment is confident they will
bring s6,5O0.o0O.

are: Bragg, North Carolina; Gus

Mexican Land Company, of Los An

proposal to sell to a japanese syndi-
cate 100000 acres of land in Mexico

Attention of the land company was
called to two Senate documents
which carry warnings to foreign
governments against making land
purchases on this continent These
documents are entitled Lands on

tract of land in Mexico by Japanese
interests would be a violation of the
Monroe Doctrine.

The general belief in official cir

WANTS LEAGUE
PACT AMENDED
VIII Go to Europe and
Submit Proposed Changes
To President Wilson.
ASKS PLAIN TERMS
Desires to Have Protection
for Monroe Doctrine Spe-
ci6cally Guaranteed.

Senator King, of Utah, yesterday,
completed the draft OF several amend
ments which he will ask President
Wilson to make to the league Of ma
tons constitution. They are designed
to protect the Monroe Doctrine and
the adjustment of domestic questions
against interference by any of the
foreign powers.
The amendments are to be sent to
President Wilson at once with the re-
quest that they be submitted to the
conference as representative of Amer
lean opinion. Senator King will ad-
dress a storing letter to the President
urging him TO give the amendments
consideration and support.
Going to Europe.
Inasmuch as the Senator is a DEM
ccrat and has been often called into
consultation at the White House, it
is believed that the sending OF the
amendments will not be without ef-
feet. Senator King plans to sail for
Europe in about three weeks and un-
less the peace treaty has been COM
pleted before that time he will take
the matter up in person with tn Pres
ident and endeavoP to impress him
with the Importance Of having the
constitution of the league amended
along the lines suggested.
Senator King has gone carefully
over the entire constitution and has
altered the phraseology in many par
ticulars; he has endeavored particu-
larly to eliminate the phrasing which
is peculiar in diplomatic exchanges
and to reduce the document to plain
terms such as are found in the con-
stitution of the United States and
the American statutes.
He proposes, for instance. to strike

PACKER CAUSES
UNREST, CHARGE
Frank Morrison, Labor Sec
retary, Says Ogden Armour
Treats Employees Unfairly

]. Ogden Armour, of Chicago. was
charged with developing social unrest
in this country in a statement issued
by Frank Morrison. secretary Of the
American Federation of Labor, last
night.
The packer and his associates
bring joy to the heart OF every be-
lever in revolutionary methods" said
Secretary Morrison.
Mr. Morrison called attention to the
attitude of the Kansas City Railway
Company. which has on two occa-
sions rejected an award by the Ma
tional War Labor Board with the re-
suit that $500 employees are on the
streets of Kansas City.
The strikers say that Mr.. Armour
is the majority stockholder of this
company. These strikers have been
denied the right to negotiate with the
company on working conditions
This Kansas City situation" says
Secretary Morrison, illustrates the
position of the American Federation
of Labor on the question of social un-
rest; that the cause of this unrest
must be removed. rather than rely on
legislation snd deportations. -
Mr.. Armour and his associates
bring joy to the heart OF every be-
lever in revolutionary methods. The
revoIutionist looks upon these busi-
ness men as their best propagandist,
because their hostility to any form OF
collective bargaining on the part OF
the workers makes it unnecessary for
the revolutionist to prove his point
that constitutional methods are OF nc
avail.
Mr. Armour, of course, would re-
sent the charge that he is developing
an unnecessary unrest in this coun'
try. He and men of a similar mind
refuse to see that wheneve. the Amer
lean ideal of orderly processes and
elemental right are replaced by au'
tocracy, that the revolutionist is
handed his strongest weapon-pracu'
