TALK OF AN EMBARGO

There is revival of talk in some
very innocent circles, about the pos
sibility of the United States declar-
ing an embargo on the shipment of
war munitions, possibly even on all
supplies, to the warning countries.
1t is merely needful to observe that
there will never be anything more
serious in this respect than talk.
The United States will not make
pusillanimity a national policy and
f1aunt it before the world. There
could be only two possible motives
for an embargo. Either it would be
declared in order to prevent the al
lies getting supplies from here, and
thus put them on a par with the
Germanic countries; or else it would
be declared in order to keep our
commerce out of dangerous waters
and thus avoid the possibility of a
mix-up that might involve us in the
war.
We cannot declare an embargo for
the purpose Of starving the allies to
death, because that would be the
most unneutral course possible.
There may be some haters of the al
lied cause who think we ought to do
it; but we will not.
During the civil war, the North
had to buy immense quantities of
munitions, arms, supplies, wherever
they could be had throughout the
world. There were people in the
textile sections of England who &C.
tually proposed that England ought
not sell such things to the North;
but they were honest enough to ad-
nit that they wanted the North's
cause to collapse, so that they could
get cotton again. 1t would be as
well to be honest now about this
talk of an embargo. The people who
want it, are those who don't want the
allies to get the advantage of their
naval power. England didn't con-
slider the notion of an embargo on
war supplies fifty years ago, and the
United States will not consider it
now.
No more will an embargo be de-
clared because of desire to proclaim
that we are afraid to appear on the
worlds streets while a fight is in
progress. The United States has too
much business on the worlds streets;
it has maintained too good a repute
for self-respect. 1t isn't going to
plead that it is a plain coward.
There is big and important task
for the United States to perform
during this war. 1t is, to insure
that peace, commerce, industry, civ
ilization, save at least some of their
rights out of the wreck of institu-
tions and precedents that is taking
place all over Europe. If we and the
rest of the neutrals should play the
coward and dodge into the cellar
while bricks are flying, there would
be nobody to save anything from the
ruins. This is time for somebody
to play the man, to be vigorous, firm,
insistent, and coolly mindful that
civilization, not barbarism, is now
adays the normal condition of
society.

JACOB E. HARING DIES.
Breeder and Owner of Celebrated
Horses Forty Years Ago.

NEW YORK. July 17-Jacob E. Har-
Ing. famous forty years ago as the
breeder and owner OF celebrated horses,
died yesterday in his home at Scotland
Hill. Nanuette, N. Y. He was seventy
eight years old. Among the noted
horses bred on his farm were Deucalion.
Scotland Maid and Goldsmith Maid.
Mr.. Haring amazed the trotting world
fifty years ago by refusing $4,000 for
Deucalion, declaring that he did not
breed horses for money, but for love OF
the sport.
Turf devotees have declared that Mr.
Haring did more than any other man
in the country to keep commercialism
out Of horse breeding and racing.

Further Statement From Sec
rotary Daniels on Navy Ad-
visory Bureau Is Expected.
MIGHT CONTAIN NAMES
OF SOME OF MEMBERS
Congress to Be Asked to Approve
Plan for Experimental Work on
Extensive Scale.

Further details of Secretary Daniels
plan for the mobilization of the inven-
tive genius of the country to assist in
working out naval problems are look
ed for in the issuance Monday of a
statement by him. The statement was
prepared following a conference at
West Orange, n. j., between Mr.. Dan
iels and Thomas A. Edison, who Is to
head the civilian advisory council OF
the proposed naval bureau of inven-
ton and development.
While the Secretary declined in adj
vance to say definitely what the state
ment would contain, it was believed
that it would include the names of
some Of the noted inventors and tech
nical experts who will be invited to
serve on the advisory board with Mr..
Edison.
Navy Experimental Work.
Secretary Daniels will ask Congress
at it's forthcoming session to approve
a plan for navy experimental work on
a much more extensive scale than ever
before attempted, adoption of which. he
believes, ultimately will place the
United States in the lead of the world
in machinery of sea warfare.
The plan, which includes establish
ment of a great laboratory of expert
mentation, probably will be prepared
by the new advisory council in confer
ence with navy officers and officials.
Some Who May Serve.
Since the most pressing problem be-
fore the navy engineers consists in
finding adequate gasoline motors
for hydroplanes and oil engines
for submarines, officials consider il
likely that Orville Wright. one of the
inventors of the aeroplane and a de-
signer Of motors, and Simon Lake
holder of submarine patents under
which dozen or more submersibles
are now being built for 'the govern
ment, certainly would be on the list
of advisers. Others suggested are
Charles p. Steinmetz. electrical engi-
neer and inventor; Hudson Maxim,
manufacturer of explosives and guns:
John Hays Hammond, jr., radio expert
and inventor, and Henry Ford, auto
mobile manufacturer.

Press of France Declares
Note of Austria-Hungary
Attempts to Shift Basis

PARIS. July 17-"Germany is too
deeply involved and too thoroughly
unmasked, so her accomplice comes to
the rescue" says the Temps in a
column editorial on the Austro-Hun-
garian note to the United States.
The afternoon newspapers generally
comment on the note. considering 1t a
subtle attempt Of the Austro-Germans
to shift the basis of discussion between
States from Germany's "act of piracy
to a question touching the Austro-
Germans closer. namely, the shipment
of arms to the entente allies and the
naval blockade" as the Temps puts it.
Alleges Inconsistency.
The Temps points out, nevertheless.
that in the Austro- German request that
Rumania permit the shipment of arms
to their ally. Turkey. through her
neutral territory the same obliga-
tions of neutrality are interpreted in
their opposite senses, according to the
immediate interest Of those who con-
slider themselves above right and law"
La Liberte asks editorially: will
Americans let themselves be terror
ized?" and adds:
THE note either is blum or a warm
ing that the Austro-Germans are going
still farther in their criminal course Of
attacks on the persons and the prop
ierty Of the United States"
La Presse says: The export of mu
nitions to Europe is century-old
tradition of American commerce which
neither the representations of the
Austro-Germans nor dynamite attacks
on factories and vessels are able to
bring the citizens of the United States
to renounce.'
American Market Open to ALI.
MILAN. July Is. via Paris.-Com-
menting upon the Austrian note to the
United States protesting against the
shipment Of war munitions to the en-
tente allies, the Corriere della sera
points out that America never has re-
fused to supply arms and munitions to
the central empires. but that Germany
and Austria are unable to obtain them
from that country because of the su-
perior naval power of the allies.
The American market is open to ALL"
says the paper. IF the government
were to close 1T to the allies it would
commit a violation of neutrality in
favor of the central empires"

 London, Dec. 24.-The war has in volved practically no destruction of accum ulated wealth, said Sir George Paish, one of the leading financial authorities of England in an inter- view yesterday. Our loss is mainly in the wealth we fail to create. That is to say, speaking broadly, we are making shells, not building houses; building warships, not making rail- ways. Our main loss arises from the failure to make reproductive expendi- ture, and this loss is about 400,0O0,- 900 pounds per annum."
 While it is true, he said, that Eng land is selling American securities she is also buying Russian. French and Italian bonds, so that there has been little reduction in her invest ments since the war began. He added that while there would be little expan- sion in production during the war, the expansion in population would be smaller, thus minimizing the eco- homie pressure He looks for a tenn porary period in economic pressure of considerable severity at the end of the war, but believes that it will be caused mainly by a readjustment of conditions from war to peace.
