DENY TRADE RIVALRY
WITH GREAT BRITAIN
Hurley Says There's no Ocean
Freight Battle, With Eng
land Chopping Rates; U. s.
Cuts Tariffs to Bottom Point.

Washington, March 14.-Denial of
prospective bitter rivalry between
Great Britain and America for sea and
trade supremacy was made by Chair
man Edward N. Hurley, of the ship
ping board, and Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Rowe before the Pan
American trade conference here late
yesterday.
Rowe, who Is in charge Of the Gus
toms division of the treasury, empha-
sized the necessity of getting the in
ternational trade discussion on fact
basis.
There is no ocean freight rate war
between the United States and Great
Britain" Hurley asserted.
I'VE falsely hear that British freight
rates are SO far below ours that Brit
ain Is making alarming inroads on our
shipping. The truth is that the United
States shipping board is reducing
American rates just as rapidly as Is
logically possible.
Again we are falsely told that Great
Britain is demobilizing or rather re-
adapting her Industries from war
manufacture much swifter than is
America. This is not true. She went
through more than four years of war
and was much more thoroughly sub
merged in war work

AMERICAN SOLDIERS MIX
WITH JAPANESE POLICE;
ALL DETAIL KEPT DARK
News Of Trouble at Tien Tsin, China,
Cahied by Minister Reinsch;
Investigation Started.

Washington, March 14.--A clash
between some American soldiers
and Japanese policemen and civil
ians lat Tien Tsin, China, occurred
last Wednesday and Thursday, the
state department announced today.
In the absence of complete details
on the affair, the department con-
fined itself to a short statement
embodying the information that
the incident is being investigated.
The fact that the clash took
place, according to the department,
ION Wednesday and Thursday
would indicate either that it was a
night brawl or a series of small
fights.
The department said:
"A clash between some Ameri-
can soldiers, Japanese police and
some civilians at Tien Tsin on
Wednesday and Thursday was re-
ported in a dispatch to the state
department today. The report is
very brief and gives no details.
The American minister to China,
Mr.. Reinsch, is investigating the
affair and the first secretary of
the American legation at Peking,
Mr.. Willing Spencer, has been
sent to Tien Tsin."
Spencer was formerly second
secretary Of the American embassy
at Toxic.

In an interview today, which COW

Creel disclosed the following inter-

'Will Wilson win? or course he

REGARDING FINANCES.
The correspondents who were most
fearful Of my secret control of the
cables in France were eventually quar-
reling with me for my steadfast re-
fusal to act as their wet nurse"
Regarding finances, Creel said:
Out of $1,250,000 appropriated to the
committee for domestic work, $500, 900
remains on hand. Some 100000 rep
resenting profit from motion pictures
and war exhibitions has already been
paid into the treasury. About s250, 900
more will come from this source.
When credits are received from fur
niture and fixtures of all kinds, it will
be shown that the committee on pub
lie information has been virtually self
sustaining"

BY FRED S. FERGUSON.

Paris, March 14--With President
Wilson's arrival in Paris today, the
machinery was set in motion for rapid
consummation of the preliminary
peace treaty.
The scheduled meeting of the SUI
preme war council was cancelled to
permit series of rapid fire confer
ences by the president, Premier Lloyd
George. Premier Clemenceau and other
leaders. Practically an the peace work
centered about the president As all
other details of the treaty have been
virtually completed by the various
committees, the main problem was that
of reaching final agreement. The
leaders in ratifying each detail will
draw up the formal draft
FINISHED MARCH 20.
All indications today were that the
treaty would be finished by March 20.
and the Germans called in about
March 25.
Whether the league Of nations
would be incorporated in the preli-
minary treaty had not been definitely
determined. An invitation has been
sent to all neutrals to have their rep
resentatives here meet the delegates
in informal conferences before the end
of next week, thus giving the non -bel-
ligerents an opportunity to present
their ideas. As it stands the league
covenant is ION the table, in the
peace conference. Committee hear
ings, as well as another plenary ses-
sion, will be necessary il there are
to be any amendments to the consti-
tuition or IL the covenant is to be fin
ally adopted before the preliminary
treaty Is submitted to the Germans,
These discussions must thus be car
ried on simultaneously with compile
tion OF the actual peace terms should
the covenant be included in the treaty.
1t was believed this would be possible
II there were but few amendments.
Indicative of the desire to speed up
the peace program it was intimated
today that formal meetings will be
scarce during the coming week, then
work being handled mostly by the
leaders, so as to get the maximum re-
suits with minimum discussion.
Sentiment today seemed to favor
Geneva as the seat of capital of the
league council The Belgians are con-
Quoting propaganda in favor of
Brussels but that city Is practically
eliminated by the fact that Belgium
was one of the belligerents.
M FEEDING POLAND.
The supreme war council has re-
served settlement of the Turkish and
Albanian frontiers. The German
boundaries, however. will be included
in the preliminary treaties.
The problem of feeding Poland has
narrowed down to the necessity of get
ting the Polish divisions from France
into their home country to keep the
railways open. The Germans have
been consistently obstructing the send
ing of these troops through Danzig,
but pressure soon will be brought to
effect their entrance

Resistance by the insurgents Is

Under exposure by the radicals that
atrocity charges against them were
deliberate propaganda by the govern

of the ''frightfulness" stories given out
by it earlier.
The American mission so far has not
been molested. Machine gun guards
were removed from the Hotel Adlon

however, has asked that Americans in
uniform refrain from entering the
fighting zones because of dangers
from irresponsible snipers.
