ATLANTA, Dec. IA whole lot Of
problems were dropped right into
the huddle today for Tennessee's
much-talked-about Volunteers.
Principally, the prime factor was
winning a belated football game and
Auburn's Tigers might have some-
thing to say about that. So will
Tennessee. :7t-
Not Of secondary importance was
the fact that a Rose Bowl invita-
tion hinged on the outcome Of Ten
nessee's last stand, to say nothing Of
the certainty that the Volunteers
were faced with the task of triumph
ing to claim a share of the South
eastern Conference championship.
Tulane's powerful Green Wave
and Georgia Techs plucky Engineers
have completed their conference
campaigns, victorious in all combats,
and have staked their claims to .
portion of the 1899 gonfalon.

tween Tulane and the Sugar Bowl
classic. Tulane, completing q nine
game schedule that had no let-ups
to speak Of, spanked Louisiana

Two noted Latin American jour-

speak at luncheon given in their
honor at the National Press Club
following their attendance at Presi-
dent Roosevelt's press conference.
The two men, Jose Santos Gollan,
Sunday editor of La Prensa of
Buenos Aires, and DR.. Luis Miro
Quesada, president of the directors
of Ell Comercio of Lima, tonight will
be entertained at dinner by DR..
Ricardo j. Alfaro, former President
Of the Republic of Panama.
Mr.. Gollan and DR.. Quesada were

problem of permitting American
ships to pass into foreign hands, the
Maritime Commission received re-
quest yesterday from the Portland
TraWling Co. for permission to sell
five traWlers to the French Line.
The application stated that the COM
pany had offered the trawlers for
sale because they were not profitable
when operated in competition with
Diesel trawlerS.
No United States Buyers.
The vessels were built in 1919 and
1920 and were coal burners. the ap-
plication said, and no American
citizen had shown any interest in
purchasing them. Marine experts
said traWlers were useful as naval
auxiliarieS.

to extend it
Merchant officers would enter the
training service at $125 month
plus board, room and uniform.
The training schools are operated
by the Coast Guard, but technically
are an activity of the Maritime
Commission, which pays the cost.
Labor Situation Snarled.
With. one faction of organized
labor participating in an increas-
ingly effective water front strike
against coastal shipping, and the
other facing loss of its trans-Atlan-
tic employment through operation
of the neutrality statute, the whole
matter of maritime labor operations
on this seaboard is badly snarled.
In three conferences, the Presi-
dent discussed the problem yester-
day; first with President William
Green of the American Federation
of Labor, second with President
John L. Lewis of the Congress of In
dustrial Organizations, and third
with Chairman Emory S. Land of
the Maritime Commission and
Chairman Robert w. Bruere of the
Maritime Labor Board.
Mr.. Curran, before going to the
White House today, estimated re-
tirement of the American merchant
marine from war trade will cost his
N. M. U. members at last 5000 jobs.
He has proposed severance pay ar
rangements and relief employment
tor the men affected.
1t is the longshoremen, headed by
Mr.. Ryan, who are on strike against
the Atlantic coastwise companies.
approximately 5000 men being idle
in New York and other ports after a
breakdown in wage negotiations Mr..
Ryan predicted last night in New
York that by the end of the week
there will be no coastwise ship
operating along the North Atlantic
seaboard.
Dl1nculty or reaching satisfactory
solutions to these allied labor prob
lens was emphasized by Mr.. Green
and Mr.. Lewis after their White
House appointments. with neither
disclosing much detail of their con-
versations with the President.
Although the Presidents appoint
ment with Chairman Land was not
disclosed until after it had taken
place, and was then described as an
"off -the-record" meeting about the
maritime labor problem, the COM
mission apparently is standing on
its approval of the practice of trans
ferring ships. In fact, it announced
last night, it has given definite ap-
proval since November 5, 1898, to
such transfer for LOG vessels of
313,356 total tonnage. OF this num-
ber, 40 transfers have taken place
since September l of this year.
Among the countries to which the
ships were transferred were Pana-
ma, Honduras, Venezuela and Yugo-
slavia.

Expectancy Growing
In Berlin War Will
Become More Active
Dutch Border Is Center
Of Interest; Point Of
Attack q Mystery
Nv FRANK SMOTHERS.


Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
BERLIN, Nov. 10 (by Radio).-
Expectancy of the commencement
of active war in the west has risen
In Berlin among both private Ger
mans and neutral observers.
A haze OF mystery and official
silence surrounds the question of
how, where and when Germany Is
to prosecute the war. The leading
theory now is, Watch the Dutch
border"
Vieing with it is the belief of
some that Germany is to launch at
any time tremendous aerial war
against England or the English
fleet-but Holland and Belgium
hold the center of interests.
Today Nazi spokesmen declare
that foreign reports of Dutch
German border clash do not merit
denial and that such reports seem
intended to alarm the Dutch.
Certainly Dutch and Belgians
here are acutely alarmed and do
not need a report of border clash
to make this inevitable.
The inspired press campaign car
lier in the week against the neu-
trails who. the Germans allege, bow
unneutrally to the British blockade,
has striking addition today in the
Frankfurter Zeitung. 1t says that
the Netherlands government 'in its
orange book drew attention in very
reserved form to few causes for
complaint against the British block
ade. But no mere list is likely to
make an impression on the British,
says the newspaper.
The occupation of Holland. if ac-
complished, would bring large ad-
vantages and disadvantages to
Germany, as seen by careful OBJ
servers.
1t would bring German air bases
much closer to England. If the
coast were occupied it would afford
valuable U-boat bases. If an at
tempt to invade France were en-
visaged it might provide one of the
bases for such action, preparatory
to an attempt to march through
Belgium from the Belgian Neither
lands frontier, which is not so we'll
fortified as the Belgian frontier,
against Germany. If the Germans
were in Holland, Belgium. at all
events, would have to face two
fronts.
The principal disadvantages for
Germany would be world reaction,
exposure of the German Army to
counterattack in positions unpro-
tected by the Siegfried Line, and the
prospect of the British feet cutting
off all the Netherlands coast from
supplies, some of which Germany
would otherwise hope to receive

ROOSEVELT, HULL
 ON NEUTRALITY
Reported to Have Differed on Language to Be Used
 in Message
BY RONALD c. VAN TINE

Washington, July i3.--(Up).- President Roc: evelt and Secretary of State Cordell Hull were reported in administration quarters today to have disagreed on the language of 6 neutrality message the president plans to send to congress.
 MT. Roosevelt, according to these informants, wants to use forceful language in reiterating his demand that congress revise the neutrality law at this session by repeating the arms embargo. Hull was said to op- pose a message that might anger the Rome- Berlin axis and further antagonize an already rebellious sen- ate.
 Sources close to the White House said the message probably would be sent to the capitol before the end of the week, but that If congress sional developments warranted, MT. Roosevelt might change his plans and use some other medium-pos- sibly a fireside chat-to make his views known to the country.
 Language To Be Used WHll5 GtAOAA fS0ACAo searched for a way to revive their neutrality program, shelved by the senate foreign relations committee Tuesday, the president and Hull con- ferred on the language to be used in e reiteration of their stand.
 The president, 1t was said, was irritated by the senate committees action. It was reported that in his message he would review the Euro- pean situation, asserting that the existing law gives comfort to ag- gressor nations, and accuses Repub- licans and some conservative Demo- crats of making political issue of foreign policy.
 Administration sources said Hull was urging the president to stick to a broad, general statement.
 While Mfr. Roosevelt and Hull de- hated. Chairman Key Pittman, D., Nevada, of the senate committee ex- tended a pledge to isolationist sena- toys that If the committee approved his proposed arms embargo against ine-power treaty violatcrs. he would oppose any attempt to attach to 1t part of the controversial neutrality program.
 Clark Seeks Assurance
 Sen. Bennett Champ Clark. D., MIssouri, a leader of the group re- sponsible for the vote to postpone neutrality consideration until next session, said similar pledge would De required from Majority Leader Alber ". Barkiey, D.. Kentucky. be- for his group would approve Pitt mans resolution.

old Man Accident let no moss grow under his feet last year (lo3s) as he peddled his deadly wares.
 The National Safety Council in it's annual yearbook, Accident Facts, just off the presses, records that accidental deaths occurred as follows during 1888:
 One every 5 Ia minutes; II every hour, 280 per day, 1900 each week, 04,000 killed for the year.
 Non-fatal injuries suffered in accidents occurred at an even more startling rate:
 One every 3 fthree) seconds, l7 per minute, 1000 every hour, 24,- 900 each day, 170,000 each week, 8,9oo,0o0 injuries for the year.
 The council audited the cost of last years accidents at $3,300, ,000,- 900. This sum covers the cost of all accidental injuries, plus pro- perty damage from motor vehicle accidents and fires.
