(I'nlverral Service Staff Correapondent.)
, Washington, April 18.VTwo most
valuable lessons they learned by ex
perience in war, the allies have
elTfttr forgotten or failed to apply
in the negotiations for peace.
One of these lessons was that
unity of command was necessary to
success. ,
The other was that great forces
operating together must never lose
their liaison with each other. When
the negotiations for peace were be
gun in Paris the conduct which the
allies had followed during the war
was sharply reversed. Instead of
unity there was division, "instead of
liaisons being maintained the idea
seemed to be that each of the allies
must follow its own course to ob
tain what it had set its heart on ac
quiring. Each of the powers rep
resented in the peace conference es
tablished itself in separate head
quarters and instead of keeping
their liaisons unbroken every one
of the powers with the exception of
the United States seemed to be ani
mated by a desire to "steal a
march" on the others.
George Creel has claimed that
the most powerful single factor in
the winning of the war for the al
lies was the propaganda which they
carried on in the enemy nations.
As to that I have no knowledge.
But from first hand knowledge
gained during a two months stay in
Paris during the Wry days of the
conference I do not hesitate to re
cord my opinion that the most po
tent single factor in delaying peace
has been the propaganda which each
of the allies has carried on in its
own and the other allied countries
since the armistice was signed.
The ink was hardly dry upon the
armistice document before each of
the allies started a propaganda de
signed to impress the world and th
peace conference with the righteous
ness of its demands and the impossi
bility of securing an enduring peac
unless these demands were all con
ceded. They issued literature by the tens
of thousands; they established press
bureaus to impress their national
point of view upon the newspapers
of Paris, London and America; they
tan special trains to show those
whpse opinions they wished to in
fluence how just and reasonable"
were their territorial claims or their
claims for damages done; they sent
propagandists everywhere o enlist
the sympathy or, the allied peoples
tor their particular demands.
As many of these demands con
flicted bad feeling soon resulted.

Criticism, often bitter in tone, fol
lowed. Not infrequently there was
denunciation. Andjlways there was
suspicion.
In less than six weeks from the
signing of the armistice the Reeling
among the allies had undergone a
deplorable change. They were no
longer brothers against a common
enemy. "They were rivals aver the
spoils of war. They no longer spoke
for a common cause. Each clamored
for an individual gain.

FIRST SHIPS OF
FLEET BUILT BY
U.SJRESOLD
Shipping Board Sells 15
Wooden Steamships to
Nacirema Company for
$650,000 Each.
Washington, April 17.- Sale of the
war-built merchant flee was begun
today by the shipping board with
the transfer of 15 wooden steam
ships to the Nacirema Steamship
company of New York at a price of
$650,000 for each vessel. This is an
average of $145 per deadweight ton.
This fleet is to be operated by the
Brooks Steamship company of New

of the 15 will be operated out of
New York, five out of Havana and
five out of New Orleans. Deliveries
will , be completed within a short
timei
The purchasers have opened ne
gotiations for the purchase of 15
more vessels bf the same type and
for immediate delivery.
It is understood that the pur
chasers obtained insurance ranging
from 1 to 3tt. per cenfc which
shipping experts said indicated th
underwriters now regarded this
type of vessel as a good risk. Th
original insurance rate ranged from
5 to 7 per cent. .
The latest figures of the shipping
board show 115 wooden ships in
service. Contracts originally were
let for 703 vessels 'of this type, but
214 of the contracts were canceled

wooden ships which were let up
to August, 31, 1918, called for
