While, of oourf-e, t thcro wa no agreement t(o that effect, It was Intended that us many of tho vessels as possible hliould bo employed In the South American trade and thus lie kept clear of tho daneem of tho war zone. ,, Thero now haa developed tho fear that If tho bhlpu lire bent to Argen tine and Chile portu an, attempt might be niado to Intern them and bring on more International complications. Ne gotiations aro In progress 'covering this phase of tho situation, and unless a satisfactory solution Is arranged the United States may be compelled to uso tho Dutch tonnage almost, exclusively In belligerent waters'. Tho vcsselu muld sail In and out of Brazilian ports nltbout danger of molestation, but i they are not needed for coffee. The real need Is forNvheat and moat from the Argentine and for nitrates from Chile. Already tho normal sup ply of nitrates In this country Ib eomo 269,000 tons short, it la said, and the consumption is Increasing dally. Ni trates are needed both for manufac ture of esploslvea and for fertilizing compounds. Danger In German Pressure Brazil is In with tho Allies, but the Argentine and Chile rema'n .neutral, with strong German Influences ul work In each country. It Is not ex pected here that cither tho Argentine or Chilean Government would act on Its own Initiative. Tho danger would como through German pressure cloaked under proceedings by Dutch subjects. In this way tho Dutch ships might bo libeled and held, pend ing Interminable Admiralty Court pro ceedings. The German influence) both in the Argentine and In Chile might provo strong enough to keep the liti gation in progress until tho end of the war. Tho celzed thlps aro too badly needed for uny rlsku of this sort i It had been hoped that somo acjreo- ment could be made with the Dutcli owners to cover tho vessels against libel actions while in neutral ports, but tho temper of the Dutch people appears to be such that great diffi culty may bo experienced in bringlnp this about. Fulling this, tho matter may bo taken up direct with tho Ar gentine and Chilean Governments, but It Is realized their positions as neutrals would cause them to hesitate to make any definite promise to the United States guaranteeing tho ships against molestation. , ' May De Used in War Zone If tho negotiations glvo evidence of being prolonged, the shipping board probably will abandon tho idea of using any of the' Dutch ships hi South America, transferring them to the European service undlaking American bhlps out of that service to bring the breadstulfs from Argentine and tho nitrates from Chile. Washington fully expected there would bo something of an uproar in the Dutch Parliament over tho seizures, and therefore has not been disturbed over the reports from The Hague. The seizure offered an op portunity for tho pro-Germans to ex press themselves rather noisily and do a little nronatrsindn work fnr tVm Kaiser and his Government. There Is the conviction hero that- tho Dutcli people, and particularly those holding shipping ureas, are Delighted to have their ships in service again, earning the big ocean fees that aro now tho rule, and protected by guarantees of replacement as soon us possible after the war Is over.

L'5. Brigadier Geneial William Welglo ar rled at Camp Hancock yesterday morn ing and Immediately reported for aa signment to duty. He assumed command of tho Hfty-sl.th Infantry btlgade. General Welglo comes to Camp Han cock from Camp Devens, Ayer, Mass., where during the absence of the com manding general he was ill command of the camp. Ue Is a very efficient officer and holds, a commission In tho regular army. Tho new commander of the 1-lity-tlxth was ordered to Camp Hancock over a week ago. General Welglo will In all probability call an officers', meeting tome time to day and discuss plans tor tho Fifty Sixth. He succeeds Brigadier General Albert J. Logan, of Pittsburgh, who was honorably discharged a month or more ago for physical disabilities. Blnce theii tho brigade has been commanded by Lieut. Colonel It. Bruce Gamble, of the USth Infantry. The work of the brigado has gono on uninterruptedly, but It Is thought probable that a readjustment of some description or tho other will bo made by tho new commander. Plttsburghers and western Pcnnsyl vanlans In tho brigado have acclaimed the arrival of tho new commander as indicative of an early trip to France. As long as the brigade was without a leader tho boys were of the opinion that "oer there" was far, far removed, but with tho coming of General Welglo things have changed, and a new hold on llfo has been taken. The appoint ment of General Logan's successor has been a matter of discussion ever since his -retirement, many thinking that a regular army officer would be appointed. I others that a division colonel would be promoted. General Welgle's arrival, however, has settled the matter. Officers and men vthrougHoui tno length and breadth of Camp Hancock were discussing but one thing csterday. and that was the ilcrman diie. It was tho general topic of conversation ' wherever as many as two got logeiner. I Kvery where tho deepest regret was ex pressed that tho twenty-eighth division I is not "over there" to Join in the repulse of the boche. This regret Is especially I ,. ..!,. rt i.w tho TVnnsaivanlanH. due to the fact that since arriving at Camp Hancock the general Impression was that tho division would be in Franco for tho spring offensive. Many things have transpired to bolster up spirits, however, and despite tho regret at not being able to be there to stop tho German drive, the Pennsylvanlans aro coulldent within a few months at most they will bo Berlin-bound.

It la not In cvidenco at this camp. Officers and men arc not alarmed and view tho situation In a matter-of-fact way. For weeks they havo been looking forward to just such a move on tho weot ern front, and despite the backward rteps taken by tho British and French forccu tho Llttlo Tcnii Loldlers aro ron- Hdcnt that right will prevail and that 'tho Hun will bo defeated and very de cisively. Ranking ofllccru who havo been 1u Franco expresu th'j opinion that tho Allied lino will hold and provo Itself capable of keeping back tho German hordes. They asstrt that tho bending of the British line has no great significance, and follow that statement by saying that the ground won by tho Huns Is not worth tho awful price that baa been paid In human life. "Hlndenburg has paid a terrible price for every foot of ground taken," Eald ono of tho camp's notablo tacticians to day. "When ho hurled such a lingo inasu of Infantry at tho British lln It wao only natural that it would bend. An a military, or rather strategical, necessity, tho Allied commanders wero compelled to glvo ground, but In doing to they wero In a position to mow doun tliu enemy. When wo get completo details I um quite inre they will disclose that the Huno havo niado another Ineffectual effort to win a. dcclslvo victory on tho western front." l'lilladelphlann on Itangr Tho 315th Infantry, "Phlladelphla'n own," Is on tlio rllle range today and smashing away at dummy Hunt.

Th Infantrymen, if tlicy aro to beat tho artillerymen, will have to do some good shooting, but they aro contldent. In fact, confidence -1st tlio predominating element In the life of tho camp. In stead of having u depressing effect upon tho division, news from tho western front Is stimulating tho men to greater efforts. his much was apparent today when the Philadelphia selects mado ready for the range.
