ENfRARGOES REMOVED.

The American government has
made haste to modify an order which
laid an embargo upon the transporta-
ton OF reservisrs from this country
and the shipment of arms and NUM-
tions OF war. Under the new order
no citizen OF a foreign country will
be hindered in returning TO his ma
tive land to fight nor will manufac-
turers OF war material be prevented
from shipping 1t abroad.
But both aliens and shippers of
arms and munitions must take their
chances on the high seas America
protection will not extend beyond the
three-mile limit The United States
is clearly within its rights as neu-
trail power in permitting aliens to
leave the country and giving Ameri-
can manufacturers OF war supplies OF
all kinds an opportunity to ship them
10 foreign countries. There is nothing
in the neutrality laws 10 prevent eth
er In fact ii would be a hardship
of wide effect if nations at war could
not draw supplies from those at peace
and if the producers of the latter were
forbidden to ship their products out
of the country.
A protest against restrictions on the
transportation Of citizens of Germany
came from that government and it was
on the strength Of this protest that
the modification of the order permit
ting aliens to leave the country The
injustice Of the restriction was seen
and Immediately corrected. Under
the new order foreign bound vessels
will be permitted to clear after they
have filed their full and final mani
tests, and it is specifically stated that
that any foreign bound vessel whose
character as u merch mt vessel is sat
isfactOrily established is entitled to
clearance, no matter what the char
acter of her cargo or her destination
may be.
on the other hand government Of
ficials are enjoined TO exercise the ut
most vigilance and care to prevent the
Quitting of vessels Of war or priva-
teers in ports of the United States.

dom, force England t. come to
Frances assistance. England couldn't
afford to see Germany secure control
of Belgium, because possession Of the
Belgian coast would give the Germans
an enormous advantage in striking at
the English coast. England's interest
in preserving Belgium's neutrality is
equal to Americas in preventing a
possibly hostile power Selling Cuba.
Germany's defenses on her side of
the Alsace-Lorraine border. the only
place where the two countries join,
are as elaborate as the defenses on the
French side. The chief center is
Metz which Marshal Bazaine surren-
dered in the Franco-Prussian war. IN
the south, Germany has just finished
new and secret Notifications between
Colmar and the Swiss frontier. North
of Metz, Thionville and Treves are
fortified camps, and between them, at
Saarburg, Germany has built the fin
est strategic railway station in the

There are Il other smaller strategic
railway stations between Cologne and

At another time Dionysius car

statue OF Jupiter and replaced it
with a wooden garment with the
remark that the latter was better
suited to- the ViCeSsitudeS of the

Though its progress has been
marked by heavy fighting and loss OF
life the full scope Of the European war
is not yet defined. nor is it likely to
be for some time 90 come. The de-
yelopments so far have been confined
10 the attitude OF Germany toward
Russia on one hand and the atti-
tude OF Germany toward France and
Great Britain.
Added 10 this is the declared neu-
trality OF the United States and Italy.
So far as human calculation can go
there are fixed conditions which will
endure until the end Of the war but
may be changed by circumstances
which cannot be controlled. Italy is
under pressure from Germany and
Austria, who insist that under their
construction Of the terms Of the triple
alliance Italy is bound to take sides
with them. and strongly influenced by
Great Britain 10 renounce the triple
alliance and take up arms against
Germany and Austria. The situation is
a difficult one for Italy. While tied
up in a defensive alliance which obI-
gates her TO help Germany and Aus
tria in a defensive war she is CON
WINGED that Germany is responsible for
the present trouble and her sympa-
th.es are rather with the entente. and
she is torn between her incluations
TO yield TO the solicitations Of the
latter and her prudence, which
prompts her 10 remain neutral.
The propriety Of the United States
remaining neutral and the ability of
this country 10 maintain a neutral
position are recognized by the powers
OF Europe, including Germany and
Austria, but the closer and easier com
munication with England, France and
the advantages they Will enjoy from
which Germany will be largely ex-
Guided unless she can get possession
OF the sea may cause jealousies and
animOsities which viii result in open
ruptures Like Italy. the United
States may be forced into war That,
however, will depend upon the sue
cess OF the German arms. If Ger
many finds herself unable TO cope with
the enemies which now encompass
her this country is not likely TO be
disturbed. Italy is more exposed.
TIE brunt of the'twar so far has
rested upon Belgium. which had not
thought TO be a combatant forced in

which, outside OF military circles at
least. had not been counted upon,
but which was vital in its conse-
quences. since IL Immediately involved

Sen. Warren of Wyoming has
habit of going TO his office after dinner
in the evening and constituting him
self a night shift. When working at
night he makes frequent use of the
phone. For that matter, he is a great
hand TO use the phone either day or
night; but when the phone buzzes af-
ter midnight in the capitol exchange
the operator always guesses Sen.
Warren. unless these is some good
reason for suspecting somebody else.
Warren is heard from oftener at night
than any other member OF congress.
In this connection it may be remarked
that Sen. Stone of Missouri rarely
uses. a phone at the capitol Few of
the capitol operators would recognize

WHAT THE FIGHTING X
IN BELGIUM MEANS \
BY AN EUROPEAN MILITARY AND
GEOGRA ENBERT-
X :; X X X X X X x x x x X


To reach Paris, Germany has to
move her armies only the distance be
tween New York and Albany, if she
strikes via Alsace-Lorraine, or the
distance between Boston and Albany,
if she invades through Belgium.
Frances chief military center on
the Alsace-Lorraine is Nancy. Her
chief military center on the Belgian
border is Lille, and her central de-
fensiVe post opposite Switzerland is
Beancon. BY turning the French map
half way round, 9.u covering 1t with
the eastern states. Nancy would fall
on New York, Paris on Albany, Lille
would about coincide with Boston and
BeancOn with Allentown. Pa.
The French armies are now mobiliZ-
ing in two districts. one is defined
by the defenses at LaFere-Laon-
Administrations and the other is in
cluded in the triangle Langres-DijOu-
Beancon.
The French frontier has a triple
series of fOrtresses, between which
are two wide gaps, TO permit the Ger
mans to come in.
The first lot of fortresses runs from
Lille, through Valenciennes To Maui
beuge. Then from Maubeuge for
about 100 miles, is a gap, which has
only subordinate defeuses. The gap
ends at Nerdun.
The second defense line runs along
the Meuse river from Verdun to Toul
on the Moselle.
From TOul to Epinal, about 40
miles. is the second gap, along the
Moselle.
Beginning at Epinal and running to
Belfort and the Swiss frontier is the
third series OF fortresSes
Germany's attack must be delivered,
therefore. through the Toul- Epinal
gap, or through the Maubeuge-V erdun
gap, or else below Belfort and by way
Of Switzerland.
BY invading Belgium and Luxem-
burg Germany apparently indicates
she has chosen the Maubeuge-V erdun
gap as her principal route to Paris.
This gap was criticised by French
men last year. as being too wide and
not having sufficient subordinate de-
lenses. The military experts replied
that the troops between La Fere and
Chalons could take care of all the
Germans who would come through
the Germans invaded France that
way the French northern army at
observation-disclosures aubeuge would
be able 10 deliver flank and rear at
tacks. The rivers in that district have
French engineers, particularly the
heights prolonged by the Somme.
The real reason why the Maubeuge-
Nerdun gap has been left compare
lively undefended by the French is
said to have been to entice the Ger
mans to cross Belgium and by destroy.
