no specific policy has been adopted
At present no licenses are issued for
shipment of goods to the northern neu-
trails. A large number of Scandina-
Wan ships. loaded with foodstuffs, are
awaiting permission to sail
The American government has no
intention Of attempting to stop al
neutral trade with Germany, but will
end rcshipment OF American goods into
enemy territory. 1t also will stop
shipment from America OF supplies in
tended to replace goods which go to
Germany. This applies to cattle feeds.
Gradually the export control will
take the place Of the British system of
letters of assurance. Now, however.
this government lacks information con-
cerning conSignees in neutral coun-
tries. Great Britain by declining as
surances for cargoes to consignees
under suspicion is able to keep many
shipments. which might be granted
export licenses, from reaching the
enemy.

Albert Phillips Covers l30
Miles on Bicycle in

Bicycle records for the ride be-
tween Butte and Missoula have been
broken by Albert Phillips, a Butte lad.
who arrived in the city Thursday night
after making the long journey in IL
hours and 30 minutes of actual riding
time. Phillips, who is only l6 years
old, left the big camp at 3:l5 in the

Washington Agog Over Ru.
mOred Upheaval Coming
in Foreign Capitals.
TO REPLACE NORRIS:
ISN'T FILLING BILL
Declared Representative at
Stockholm Has Not Sat-
isfied President.

Washington, July 27.-(Special)-
POSSIBLE changes in the diplomatic
forces of the United States are Great
Ing considerable attention in official
circles here at present. Recognition Of
the fact that there is no branch of the
federal service in which important
changes are more numerous than in
representation at foreign capitals, al
ways causes great interest in any ap-
parently well founded rumor of a
change in an ambassadorship.
1t Is we'll known that the president
Mt all times has filed for immediate
acceptance, should occas sion warrant,
the designations of all ambassadors
ana ministers who represent this gov
crnment in the capitals of other ma
tions. 1t is also known that these res
1gnations are always rendered at the
beginning of a new administration or
second term. Frequently, however,
the designations are accepted in the
midst of an administration.
Change Prospective in Sweden.
Latest stories here involve the rep
resentation of the United States in
Sweden. This Scandinavian nation
has. by the entrance of the United
states into the world war, suddenly
become quite the most important of
all the governments which now profess
to be neutral. Stockholm has become
recognized as the one capital where
important conferences of neutral pow
ers can be held. 1t is pointed out that
IN the event of peace, this city may
likely be the scene OF the negotiations
Whlch Will floloW a cessation of hos
tilitics.
On these grounds, the man who
holds the portfolio of minister to
Sweden suddenly has assumed a po-
sition of first prominence among
American diplomats. The present
United States minister to Sweden is
Nelson Morris OF Chicago
Did Not Land Toxic Post.
Much of the talk in official circles
relative to changes in portfolios has
involved Mr.. Morris. especially since
he failed to be named ambassador to
Japan, when a vacancy was caused by
the death of George w. Guthrie some
months ago. His failure to attain this
appointment. for which he was known
to have the backing of Senator James
Hamilton Lewis, has resulted in spec
ulation as to whether his services in
the Swedish capital have been entirely
satisfactory to President Wilson.
With this question in the minds of
officials. it has been pointed out that
for one very explicit reason President
Wilson may have considered Mr.. Nor
ris has not been as effective in his
office as he might have been. Dis
closures of the economic relations be-
tween Germany and Sweden, which re-
Gently have become widely known and
have involved cargoes shipped from
