WHACKS BACK
RatiOning Neutra.s Extends to e. s.
in Prohibiting shipments.

London, Sept. 15.-The plan of ra
tioning the neutral countries of Nor
way, Sweden, Denmark and Holland,
under which no further licenses will
be granted for the present to British
exporters, has been extended to apply
to the United States by the eXpedients
of refusing to allow the Netherlands
overseas trust to accept further Amer
lean consignments and by declining to
grant letters of assurance for Ameri-
can shipments destined for these
countries.
In consequence. American ship
ments for Holland will be stopped alb
solutely, while the regular transporta-
ton companies trading between the
United States and Scandinavia will
not take cargoes without assurances
of their innocent destination by the
British authorities.
1t is expected that Washington will
make an inquiry in regard to this mat
ter, especially as to the American
schooners which We're taken into Ler-
wick and released after being detained
for several weeks. No charges were
preferred against them.
Another blockade measure which
also probably will interest Washing
ton is the recent arrangement under
which bureaus were set up in England
and France for granting licenses for
exchange of goods which figure on the
list of prohibited imports.

Will ANSWER HUGHES
Wilson Is Ready to Fight in Defense
of 8-Hour Legislation.

Long Branch, N. J., Sept. 15.-Pres-
ident Wilson decided today to take ad-
vantage of the earliest possible oppor-
tunity to challenge the statement made
by Charles f. Hughes in recent
speeches that the basis on which the
recently threatened railroad strike was
averted was merely an increase of
wages for the employees
The president, his political advisers
said today. considers that principle OF
the efght-hour day vitality affected by
the strike settlement and will seek to
show that while the railroad legisla-
ton passed by congress to meet the
situation will give the employees at
least a temporary increase in pay the
more important point is that 1t es-
tablished the eight-hour day as the
basis of work for railroad working
men.
The president will make known his
views either in a speech at Shadow
Lawn, or in a letter. Democratic lead
ers expect the Republicans to continue
their efforts to make the strike settle
ment an issue and it was said today
that Mr.. Wilson will welcome such an
argument.
