SimHar Reductions, for Pacific Will Save Closing of Trade Doors in Orient; General Rate Revision Is Now Expected. in WASHINGTON. Jan. 4. (U. P.) Opening the way for American entry into industry and ships into the world's trade, great,-reductions in ocean freight rates shave been completed by :, the United States shipping board. It beaame known here tonight that the new rates, covering load ings ip January and February, will aifect every trade route and . ' practically every nation outside of the central powers. The first schedule of rates outlined by the shipping board, is based on ex ports through New York. These rates, it was said, will serve as a basis for ' ' general revision of all rates' for Ameri can shipping. Later schedules probablj' will change less important charges, It An ' expected. Simtlar reductions, covering- trade with .'Japan and China from Pacific Coast points, were announced January 2. They came as a direct result of a campaign launched " by the department of conj-inge6sati'eAmefWan"nnaumg-fr'fn being shoved out of Oriental trade. It v: w'aa said: 4tv u J v Speculation was rife in official circles tonight aa to the effect the new rates " -would have on 'snip owners. There were ,- many expressions of fear that owners " of ships would, try to "get from under" the new rates, which will materially les sen their profits. On the other hand. It was argued that - ; in reducing the rates, the shipping board , had broadened the . scope of trade to such an. extent that many American vessels would engage in trade which they never would have been called upon to ; -handle under! the higher rates. The ,prmr rates would have permitted Eu ropean competitors to undersell Amer ican . manuf aoturen and exports would -have decreased as a result, it was ex .. plained. U. S.

Be a Triple Murder May Hail. From Portland. Olympia, Wash.. Jan. 4. (U. P.) Three persons, instead of one, as at first thought, were murdered and their bodies burled in the woods on Hawks Prairie, it was disclosed today, when Coroner Mills and Chief of Police Cusack of Olympia uncovered the bodies of two boys. 4 and 6 .years old respectively, burled in shal low graves at a lonely spot among the trees. The discovery was made after the searchers had come across a child's straw hat 10 feet from the rude grave where the body of a woman was tound on Wednesday. After finding the hat, Coroner Mills and Chief Cusack went farther into the woods and exhumed the bodies of the two children, which were badly decomposed. Closer Inspection of the 'woman's gar ments in the Olympia morgue today dis proved, in the minds of the officers, the theory that the murder victim was a former dancing girl at Camp Lewis. The dress was of cotton. Inside the woman's hat were two newspapers, one a Port land paper, dated May 6, 1918. Chief Cusack recalled tonight that in July a man rushed into his office and excitedly declared he had seen a fam ily crossing Hawks Prairie in a wagon violently quarreling. The police 'theoryJ is that the murderer is the husband and father of the family found dead today. Noted People Sail For France on Two Big Atlantic Liners New York, Jan. 4. (I. N. S.)

A brief war office statement issued tonight announcing "satisfactory settlement" was the first official confirmation of disturbing ru mors of serious trouble among British troops returning to the front in France after leave in the United Kingdom.' The war office statement says: "Trouble which had arisen during the last two days among troops returning to France fter leave has been satis factorily settled after a Conference be tween the general and representatives of the men." This is the first time in the history of the British, army, so far as records show, that troubles among the troops have been arbitrated' between "represen tatives of the men" and a commanding general. Rumors of dissatisfaction both in the army and navy, due to the slow prog ress of the demobilization, have been current for days. The Evening Stand ard late today tore the lid off what ap peared to be a policy of silence on the part of the press. The paper made pub lic the fact that "serious rumors" were in the atr of discontent in the fleet. Later the Evening News quoted the war office as explaining that no boats were running today from Folkstone (on the southeastern coast of, England, not fa,r below. Dpver, and, one of the chief ports of embarkation, for France) and that .hence departures to the colors had been cancelled. Police Find Berth Full of Morphine, : Biit No Sleeper Chicago ' Jan. 4.-0.

Making Slow Progress Toward Peace Congress. Special Cable , to The Journal and Chicago ' Daily News. (Copjria-ht. 1019, by Chlcaa-o Daily News Co.) PARIS, Jan. 4. The extraordi nary session of the French chamber , of deputies this week: merits the closest attention in the United States, for it indicates that the recent optimism of the ( American peace delegates is per- : haps misplaced. 'It appears that France will enter the negotia, , tions wfth ideas quite different from those of America. Gener ally speaking, it appears more and more clear that there are three great movements, each as i piring. to dominate the recon- Btructioh period.

The alowness of the progress toward the peace congress is variously in terpreted. First,, the allies are as un nrenared for peace as they were for war. The statesmen themselves have felt un certain as to What . method to , apply. Thev would have preferred no radical changes but the desperate financial. In dustrial and military demobilization situation combined with the psychology of the peoples after the war would not permit a return to the old international system and metnoas. Secondly, during the war the produc tive efficiency, of every nation in Eu rope ' was dimtnlsnea. a- . consiaeraDie percentage . of the resources - was ab sorbed in unproductive labor. On the other hand - the .standard of wages or the working classes was greatly raised. The return of the nations to living on their, earning capacity has been viewed with misgiving and alarm. Fightlag Mea Oppose Taxes . During the war large classes of peo ple learned to look upon the govern ment as being obliged to furnish them with support. Among the combatant nations approximately 9,000,000 men are to be demobilized and given work. These armies consider that they have earned better treatment than the rest of the community and will unwillingly pay taxes for the war debt, yet they represent the largest productive capacity of the nations. Labor problems are- so unsettled today that factories continue turning out war material which is per fectly useless. For this reason there has been a gradual drift in the minds of the allied governments toward the plan of closer affiliation.. for mutual assistance. This may result In 'a league of nations. The principal reason, however, for the delay in the peace, settlement seems to be the necessity of .finding out whether Germany and the central powers in the war will drift into 'continuing" disorder or gradually recover their poise and re establish, .jstable government. . uermaas Are iaoeria Present events seem to 'indicate that Germany is moving; toward a long pe riod, of - effervescence and perhaps -extreme disorder. The once hard-and-fast system of German government . and In stitutions has been broken, leaving the German people rudderless, skx that -lis- lntegration "is apt to set In. . Owing;5 to the enormous obligations ' Incurred by Germany, to the allies as. the result of the war. the situation may lead, to the military occupation of that country I by the allies. President Wilson has been sounding the allied governments' on the general principles of settlement In order, to en ter the confrence with an agreed basis for peace of a, general character. Mean while - the rush . of events is crowding the allies for immediate decision on im portant situations. . -.. ;.'.; ' V Xothlag Bone to Feed Starviag U A month and. a half has elapsed since the 'armistice was signed 'and nothing much .has . been . accomplished toward re victualling the populations of Poland, Austria f and - Germany. - Kational com missions from the different allies are on their way or ; have? arrived in Vienna, Warsaw, Berlin s and other centers to determine the 'needs.
