transfer troops to the western front to

that In the early days of the revolu-

advantage of their parliamentary po-
sition to become the center of a tumult
which was antidemocratic.

great undertaking except the actual
method of the draft itself.
No official announcement has been
made and official confirmation is be-
ing withheld. but it has been stated
that the federal government itself
will do the drafting, probably here in
Washington, so there will be no OPP
portunity for local favoritism, politi-
cal or otherwise.
As the regulations stand now, every
registered man bears number. The
numbers will be forwarded to Washing
ton and the drawing will be entirely by
number. The identity of the num-
bered men will be unknown to those
in charge of the draft machinery and
can be established only by comparing
a number with printed list of the
mans home district.
The question of exemptions will go
before the local boards. If man is
exempted the man bearing the number
which was drawn next in order will
take the place and so on until the first
increment of 625,000 has been assem-
bled. The others will be called as the
need develops. 1t is hoped to have all

was the result of the break IN the
Price river irrigation dam in Goose
berry creek, a tributary to the Price
river, twelve miles northeast of Fair

after carrying away the sixty-foot wall
which impounded more than 1000
acre feet of water.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars of
additional damage in loss of traffic

In Carbon county, which depend upon
the railroad for an outlet. Thousands
of miners will be thrown out of en-
ployment until the railroad Is able to
rebuild from fifteen to thirty miles of
track which has been washed away.
Three large steel bridges have been
washed out, scores of highway bridges

Complaint Of the Stupid.

1t is only stupid people who complain
that they are misunderstood. If they
were not stupid, they would know that
there Is absolutely no such thing as
being understood, and, therefore that
there is nothing whatsoever to be
gained by complaining about it.
Wise people who want to be under
stood do not spend their time complaint
Ing, but in perfecting some means OF
expressing themselves by which they
may reveal to the world about them
some slight remnant, at least, of thelr
souls, or their minds, or their ideas, or
their discoveries, or their eccentrlci'
ties, or whatever it is they want to
make known.
When you complain about not being
understood, the only thing you make
clear is that you are a complainant

EXPORTS EMBARGO
COUNCIL CREATED
GOVERNMENT WILL SEE THAT

SENT TO THE GERMANS.
President Wilson Issues Executive Or
der Under Which Many Steps for
Successful Prosecution of War
May be Taken at Once.

Washington.-Con Of American
exports, authorized In a clause of the
Espionage bill, was assumed on June
25 by President Wilson with the APP
pointment of an exports council, COM
prising the secretaries of state, agri-
culture and commerce, and the food
administrator. Az executive order
creating the council directs the depart
tails of commerce to administer all de-
tails of operation.
"a victorious conclusion of the war
can come" said the president In a
statement outlining the country's ex-
port policy, "only by systematic direc-
tion of American trade"
1.-THE free play of trade will not be
arbitrarily interfered with" he said.
sit will only be intelligently and sys-
tematically directed in the light of full
information with regard to the needs
and market conditions throughout the
world and the necessities of our people
at home and our armies and the armies
of our associates abroad"
Members of the exports council will
organize and recommend to the presi-
dent series of proclamations which
will put the law into active operation.
The first proclamation will require
the licensing Of all coal and fuel ship
ments, including bunkers, and its pur-
pose is to give the government first a
firm grasp on shipping.
The second will provide a system of
licensing for every class of exports to
the European neutral countries and Is
designed to prevent supplies from
reaching Germany.
Proclamations to follow will name
specific commodities which may not be
shipped anywhere without licenses.
The first commodities to be designated
will be cereals and other fOodstuffs.
BY degrees the list will be extended
until virtually every export commodity
is brought under the operation of the
act.
The proclamations covering coal and
exports to European neutrals probably
will be issued this week. Under an ar
arrangement to be made with the British
government providing for an interna-
ltional shipping control, the United
States and Great Britain will have the
trade of the world in their hands to
direct In the manner best calculated
to assist in winning the war.
The neutral export proclamation will
be hurried to prevent removal from
the United States of large supplies of
,foodstuffs bought by the neutrals and
now stored in this country awaiting
shipment. The government is deter
mined to hold neutrals to necessities.
