THE OMAHA EES 13 t, . f "' v. X .'J ;' "J .'9 .4 '4 t SHIPPING MEET AT SPA BROKEN OFF BYGERf.lANS Refusal to Turn Over Ships Without Assurances of Food Temporarily Ends Parley on Peace. London, March 7. The negotia tion! at Spa relating; to the shipping question have been temporarily broken off, acording to a German wireless message received here to day. The allies, the message aays, de manded that all the remaining Ger man merchant ships be handed over unconditionally, without being will ing to undertake the obligation of supplying Germany with foodstuffs. The German delegates, it is added, received instructions from their gov ernment that the question of ship ping, finance and food supply must be dealt with only as a whole. The German message continues: "The question of handing over the mer cantile fleet can only arise if idequate food supplies, say 2,500,000 tons of foodstuffs, are assured Ger many until the new harvest. The entente would not agree to this. "As the instructions of both sides did not go beyond this, a French delegate proposed that negotiations be broken off, whereupon the two ipecial delegations left Spa." When the allied commission went to Spa it was believed that the re lease of the ships was merely a question f days. It was proposed t- the Germans that in return for the use of the ships, a rental be paid, this to be entered to their credit against their food account The Germans, however, replied that this would be inadequate and that there must be a guarantee ot a steady, uninterrupted supply of food. No country was in position to supply this food, under the Ger man conditions, so the question of credit remains unsettled. Refused by the Army i During War, Youth Is ' A iJ "D Persistence and patriotism won out in the case of John Franklin of Billings, Mont., the first man to be accepted by the Omaha army re cruiting station. Six times, at six different recruit ing stations during the war. he tried to enlist, but met with the same ob stacle physical examination.

' When the recruiting station re opened, with promises of overseas duty under peace conditions, he ap plied and was accepted in the in fantry. He will be sent to Fort Logan, Colo.

Former Omaha Railroad Man Gets Big Position in East At Ludlow, Mass., Fred L.'Feakin, formerly assistant general freight agent of the.
