FIFTEEN STEAMERS OF PACIFIC COAST TO RESUME TRADE SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.3 Fifteen steamers which had been token out of the private control of Pacific coast operators after the United States en tered the war, will be at once released from forcible requisition and control of the United States shipping board, according to announcement made here Thursday. This, it is held, means the first step towards the resumption of normal steamship conditions on the Pacific coast While all vessels mentioned In the release order have been operating in Pacific waters, the restrictions under which they were more or less ham pered have been removed through the reversion to private operation. One of the primary effects ot the release of the vessels from shipping board control will be the privileges of the operators to fix rates for freight in competition with foreign owned vessels instead of having to operate under the rates arbitrarily fixed by the shipping board. Another advant age will be the removal of shipping board regulations regarl'ng port of call, amounts of cargo and requisition of cargo space for government use. Ships in port are to be released at once, according to the shipping board announcement, and those at Bea will be released upon their arrival at home ports. The right to re-requisition when necessary is reserved by the board. THREE PORTS PUT BY Tl NEW YORK, Jan. 3.

Comments in cer tain Italian newspapers on the East ern policy of France, In which refer ence has been made to Italian inter ests that should be considered have attracted additional attention here to the question ot Syria, Armenia and other Kastern countries, the future of which probably will be decided by the Peace conference. On the supposition that the convention of 1915 botween France, Great Britain ami K.issla, re garding Asia Minor, and other matters afftX'tlng relations between entente powers must have been communicated to the Italian government it la not ap prehended that there will be any seri ous conflict of official views. Developments In the discussion of Syria's future at the Franco-Syrian conference at Marseilles are awaited with great interest. The viewpoint her la that Syrian, as well as French delegates, went to that conference to discuss the question on tho theory ot an extension of French influunce in that country. It is pointed out that the whole Eastern question is difficult ot early solution. It is not known whether the peace conference will establish a general principle on which the future status ot all these countries will be settled, leaving the details to commissions, or will set out to decide each case by itself. In the latter case, the confer ence is likely to be ft long one. ' INVESTIGATION TO BE MADE OF SHIPBIULDING WASHINGTON, Jaor 8.
