COPPER CARGO IN HOLD
DELAYS THE KROONLAND
Australia Puts Embargo on Wool
Wheat and Flour, United States
Is Informed.

The copper in the Kroonland's cargo
and not the ship itself Is regarded as
contraband by the British authorities
at Gibraltar. according to advices to the
State Department today.
This copper is believed to have been
slowed in the bottom of the hold, which
would account for the delay in reach
ing and unloading it. The British
authorities assert that copper, amount
ing to about 1900 tons. was intended
for delivery in Germany, in which case
it falls in the definition of contraband.
Judge Fleming. chief OF the board of
foreign trade advisers, has received q
cablegram from the American consul
general in Australia stating that the
Australian government had also placed
an embargo upon wool. wheat and -four.
Australian wool imported direct into
the United States during the seven
months ending in July amounted to 22.-
$4,000 pounds. valued at s5.645. s58.
The quantity imported indirectly by
way of England is not specifically
enumerated in government records.
Meat from Australia during the seven
months amounted to 23,306,99S pounds,
valued at $1,7ss.045.

! chief topic OF discussion. Opinions differ
somewhat as to the import Of the with
drawal Of the Germans
There is also much speculation as to
the destination of the Germans, as the
Belgian communication merely stated
! that they were retreating toward the
! east. The fact that the allies retained
in this section the positions they occu-
pied the day before would seem to indi-
cate that the Germans had not been
pushed very far.
Fails to See Victory.
Gen. Berthaut, the military critic, in
his comment on the news. did not regard
the retreat as a well defined victory for
the allies. To him it appeared more like
a falling back as the result Of exhaustion
and because the Germans found it impos-
sible to remain any longer in the mum
dated country. He pointed out that the
Beigians similarly had been obliged to
withdraw to the railroad from Dixmude
to Newport in consequence Of the mum
dations.
What appeared more important to Gen
Berthaut was the advance south from
Dixmude. This is the part Of the Bel
gian front already much disputed. which
extends from Dixrnude to the east OF
Ypres-
Lieut. Col. Rousset, the critic OF the
Petit Parisien, however. viewed the re-
treat from the User in another light and
said 1t was more than simple check.
