1 !,5i T- Government wa reudy today to
"it! lk over Dutch shipping In American
Vjtrtt M part of the Allied-American re-lail-ltloiiln-
program. The "Dutch reply
'AjSfto an agreement on tho subject wau
'?yicted In the morning batch of cable-
' SL Slm n.w.F ! nn ner,mnt- htlt
lllflcd u to make American accept-
Impossible apparently.
f,It appeared likely this forenoon that
. m chips would be taken over during
ktfee day.
Thus far, however, division or author-
on tho subject has caused confusion.
rhe State Department, war Trade
Board, Shipping Board nnd Navy l)e
bartment all have a hand In tho ltua-
lion it ona point or another.
A, presidential proclamation Is ncces-
sary before any of these departments
ket under way In seizing the vessels. It
, expected that after tnc state Depart-
nent has perused the Dutch reply the
.T-uu T.t. .... -.rill t.lr. ,1... .klH.
f - .then turn them oer to the shlnnlnc
,M)oard and thereafter the war trade
if "o-rd will pass on their cargoes.
ri&SE: President Wilson held a conference
Ith Chairman Vanco McCormlck, of
the war trade board, today, to go over
, proclamation.
Mccormick said he understood that
i tats tea were coming over the cables
ng on the negotiations shortly bo-
ire 11 o'clock and that the full text
if the Dutch reply would be In before
Ight
Action by this Government, he added.
III await receipt of word either from
th Dutch Government or American rep-
ntauves In Holland or London rc-
rdlng the negotiations.
Information as to progress of neeo-
latlona has been withheld, but It was
tated that the delay from esterday
as the result of a desire to give Hol-
nd an opportunity to replyl
TKhe hitch on Holland's part Is under
stood to be that she wanted a ctlpula
tlon against use of the vessels In the
ar lone. Such a condition would de-
ract vastly from the alue of the es-
el, and the American Gcvernmcnt has
leen opposed to that plan.

ALTHOUGH disorders arising In Ber
.Hn and elsewhere In Germany have
been of a passUc nature, travelers ar
riving front the (rentier toduy told of
the redoubled nollceureCautkilis which
are being taken lrrthe German capital.
At the slightest sign of trouble soldiers
re-enforce the Berlin police, and one trav
eler told of seeing two companies or ma
chine gun troops around the royal castle.
The were supported by twenty-flve ma
chine guns mounted at strategic points
to sweep all approaches.
Following tho recent labor disorders
tho soldiers were removed, but prepara
tions are being made to return them for
the May-day period when another great
strike movement Is threatened In Ger
many. The German people aro experiencing
keen food shortage now and no hope Is
held out for next month, but It was
stated there Is little hope of a collapse
from privation.
"If tho Germans get a good, e&und
licking It will do more to defeaty them,
than tho privations from food scarcity,
one traveler said. "Tho German people,
especially the soldiers, ure heartily 'sick
of war and fighting"
There Is much food profiteering In
Berlin, which has aroused much discon
tent, but no open outbreaks of danger
ous proportions.

Relieving Freight
Congestion
THE collapse of the railroads in handling
freight has not only imperiled many busi
nesses but actually has threatened in some
instances the life of communities.
The truck is adaptable either to long distance,
hauling or to short hauling with many stops. It
meets widely different conditions in different
industries, each peculiar, each individual and
each presenting its own difficulty.
Whether your situation requires trucks for long
hauls or short hauls, we know that the Pierce
Arrow will fit your needs, for we have scores of
installations in which Pierce-Arrows are more
than meeting every demand made upon them.

run on.
Globe Tire advertising has put the Globe Tire argument
plainly and simply up to the American motorist, with the
result that Globe Tire sales are proving conclusively that
the shrewd, wise tire-buyer wants a long-mileage tire.and
is willing to pay for it.
