PLAN TO FIND SHIPS TO
SEND HOME EACH MONTH
ABOUT 10000 TROOPS

Paris, Sunday Jan. 12.-American
and British representatives will hold
a conference with German admiralty
authorities at Treves on Wednesday
ior the purpose of acquiring posses
sion OF German and Austrian pas
scnger ships for the transportation
OF troops. The United States will be
represented by +. n, Hurley, chair
man of the shipping board and Ad-
miral w. $. Benson.
1t is proposed that America give
Austria and Germany food for the
ships. 1t is planned that the Brit.
ish will get smaller ships for the re-
turn OF troops to Australia and
Canada, while America will have
the big boats, which will include
virtually all the Hamburg American
liners, including the Imperator.
Ii this arrangement becomes ef-
fective, it will increase the flow of
troops to America about 10000 per
month. This will make a total ca
pacity of shipping approximately
10000 men each month.

STRIKE IN ARGENTINE
is PART OF GENERAL
BOLSHEVIST MOVEMENT

Buenos Aires, Jan. l3,-At 400
o'clock this morning, it was stated
at police headquarters that no seri-
Gus clashes had been reported any
where since 10 o'clock last night.
At that hour it was believed the gov
ernment had the situation in hand,
Reports from Montevideo say that
the authorities there are strengthen
ing their forces against the bolshe-
visit movement. Troops have been
thrown around Villa de Cerro, To-
calizing strike disorders to that dis
trict, where there are American
packing houses.
Civilian guards with rifles and
drawn revolvers patroled the city
Sunday, breaking up crowds About
$50 persons suspected OF being i'm
picated in bolshevist movement,
aimed at the overthrow of the gov
ernment, have been arrested. Among
those under detention are the men
who were to hold the offices OF
president, chief OF police and other
important positions.
Censored reports from the interior
indicate that the Maximalist agita-
ton is spreading to the principal
cities, notably Rosario, where a
general strike was called Sunday.

OIL POURED IN WATER
MAKES RESCUING OF
CASTALIA CREW HARD

Halifax, N. s., Jan. l2.-Wireless
dispatches from vessels standing by
the United States shipping board
steamer Castalia, which has been
in distress off the coast OF Nova
Scotia since early Saturday morn
ing, brought news that the rescue
OF A OF the crew had begun short
ly after 9. a. m. today and that
one OF her lifeboats containing II
men had capsized and that two
were drowned.
The rcscuing ships are the Bar
gensfjord and the War Fijan. An
exchange OF messages between the
two vessels was caught by the wire
less station ashore and one from
the War Fijian read:
1--WE have now picked up most
OF the crew. Two drowned. -
Evidently the War Fijian, to
calm the seas, emptied a part OF
her cargo OF oil overheard. At
1911 a, m. this wireless from the
War Fijian was picked up;
After the oil had been emptied,
it was impossible to hold on to any
men in the water They were slip
perry as cells. Besides, they could
not breathe. Nose and mouth
chOked."

1t has developed, however, that
China will not be represented by
Japan, but will have her own dele
CATION.
Efforts OF the French press to
bring to the fore the question OF
the status OF entente and American
troops in Russia and the advisable
ity OF sending such troops into Po-
land to check the bolsheviki ad-
vance, it is understood, have been
without success so lar. The United
States, it is said, will not consent
to accept in principle or as mil
itary policy the task OF using Amer
ican forces in Poland at all or in
Russia in larger numbers than al
ready are employed.
