ON GOODS FROM RUSSIA
Officials of State Department and
Cars Ambassador Confer
on Subject.

George Bakhmetef Russian amhas-
sador. and officials of the State Depart
ment are comforting on system by
which the Russian embargo on exports
to the United States shall be lifted
The foreign Office in Petrograd cabled
to the State Department requesting
worked out to hasten the restorat ton
of trade.
Under the proposal accepted by the
Russian government in agreeing to
lift the embargo. Russian shipments
will be consigned to Secretary Red
field of the Department of Commerce.
who will distribute to importers and
merchants in this country under guar
antee that no Russian products will
find their way into countries now at
war with Russia.
Negotiations with the Russian am
bassador are expected to develop
method of distributing shipments under
bond. to he held by the Secretary until
the mercha ndise has been consumed
Importers Insistent.
The Russian agreement eliminates
successfully negotiations in progress
for months, brought about by pressure
from American importers and manufac-
turers, whose demands for Russian
products, particularly vetch seed for
fertilizer. hides, skins and mineral Oil.
have been insistent.
Several proposals were submitted by
the State Department. under which pri-
vate firms, associations of private
firms, would guarantee the consump-
ton of the goods in this country. The
Russian foreign Office held out for a
guarantee by the State Department it
self, which the latter asserted it was
legally qualified to give. The propose
that the goods be consigned to the
forward and found acceptable in Petro-
grad.
Only One Port Now Open.
At present the only European Russian
port open, Archangel, on the White sea,
is used only for government ship
ments. The Asiatic port of Vladvostok
is jammed with freight bound for Eu-
ropean Russia.
The Department of Commerce has
suggested to shippers three overland
freight routes through Norway and
Sweden to Russia. with fairly good
rail connections with the Russian in
terror. An understanding was reached
by the State Depar tment yesterday with
the Swedish legation by which Ameri-
can shipments to and from Russia via
Sweden will not he subject to the Swe-
dish embargo against re-exportation.

BRITISH SOLDIERS URGE
CONSUMPTION AT ONCE
For Gods Sake, Give Us Leader"
Says One in House of
Commons.

LONDON, July 29.-In the debate in
the house of commons yesterday on
the question of CONSUMPTION the i'm
mediate necessity of this measure was
urged by two liberals Capt Guest
who is aid-de-camp to Field Marshal
French. and Josiah Wedgewood who
returned wounded from the Darda-
nelles.
When are those who have not come
forward going to bear their fair
share" asked Capt. Guest which
question was greeted with cheers from
the conservatives. He asserted that
England ought to produce enormously
Of ammunitions.
Upholds Volunteer System.
way mems leader, maintained that the
volunteer system had succeeded en-
tirely and that no industry was able
to spare more workers. The Welsh
coal strike showed the futility Of try
ing to coerce the workers. he said
Mr.. Wedgewood said: we can buy
from America; let the Englishmen
fight. i do not say that compulsion
is necessary yet. but 1 do say that
what we want is declaration from
the prime minister that if circum-
stances require he will not shy at that
possibility.
Courageous Leader Wanted.
What we want in this country more
than money and shells is leader. For
Gods sake give us a man who will
lead without fear of the consequences.
Believe me, the whole world from
Fladivostok to San Francisco is look
ing to see il We can develop a leader
who can lead and can shape into line
with the new conditions
He praised highly the conditions in
France as result of CONSUMPTION.
Germany now recognizes the French
as its chief opponent, he said, and
would be prepared to offer France
peace on easy terms, which would be
a great temptation.
Draws Bitter Attacks.
This declaration drew a bitter attack
from William Llewellyn Williams, who
said the statement that the volunteer
system was a failure was calumny on
the country and that there could be no
more dastardly suggestion than that
alliance
Britain ought not to infiict the tempta
ton on her ally.
I'VE got 100000 men voluntarily,
declared Mr. Williams.

change of personalities.

speaksble outrages against Spanish. subjects and
the Spanish sovereign; for which it should have
been punished. But 1t was not The "godlike
Daniel" was our Secretary Of State. He did not
hesitate TO read the riot act to Great Britain, to
France and 70 Austria. He had too. as Senator
Hayne had cause TO know, pronounced views and
convictions concerning the supremacy Of the ma
tion over the individual states. But in the face
Of the New Orleans mob he pleaded the baby act.
Our treaty with Spain guaranteed protection TO
Spanish subjects here, or indemnity for their
wrongs. But If Louisiana elected TO disregard
that treaty we could do nothing except to pay
an indemnity out Of the national treasury for the
fault of the obstreperous state.
There was 1885. Grover Cleveland had reso-
luton and aggression enough for half q dozen
men, in some respects. But when a blaspheming
mob at Rock Springs butchered a lot Of inoffen-
sive Chinese to make a Christian holiday he, too,
pleaded the baby act He could not compel
Wyoming, one Of the least Of our states, to re-
spect the treaty obligations of the nation.
There was that affair of 1890. James C. Blaine
was pre-eminently the exponent of a vigorous"
policy. But when another New Orleans mob
butchered a number Of Italian subjects he pleaded
the same old baby act. The treaty between the
United States and Italy had been shamefully
violated. But the federal government could do
nothing. excepting to pay indemnity out of
its own pocket. II could not compel Louisiana
to respect the treaty.
There was another Italian episode in 1896 this
time in Colorado, Mr.. Olney Secretary of
State; a man not lacking in pith and gall. He
and Mr.. Cleveland could write peremptory notes
to Great Britain, or about her, IN the Venezuela
business. But when treaty was violated and a

these same colonies fought shoulder TO shoulder
against England. A hundred years ago England,
Germany and Russia fought together against
France; less than fifty years later England and
France fought against Russia; and to-day Eng
land France and Russia fighting against Ger
many. Why are there such changes, and why are
alliances so futile and feetng? General Greene
finds the answer in remark Of Washingtons,
