 IGNORE EMBARGO
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

AN ATLANTIC PORI, July lo- Eleven neutral steamers loaded with grain and other cargo which could not be exported except under license after President Wilson's embargo proclama ton becomes effective Monday, cleared from this port today for European ports without British letters of assur- ance and will attempt to run the allied blockade.
 Ten of the vessels are Dutch and the other Scandinavian.
 Besides grain the ships carry great quantity of meal cake and other cattle feed included under the terms of the embargo proclamation.
 No statement was available tonight from those directly interested in the transaction, but it was presumed that the shipping companies decided to take their chances with the British block ade and admiralty courts if necessary rather than await the effective date of the embargo.

Greenfield Church
Destroyed by Fire,

The handsome house Of worship
OF the U. S. A. Presbyterian con.
gregation at Greenfield was totally
destroyed by fire Sunday morning
at 1890. When discovered the
fire was burning briskly on the
roof, and the generally accepted
version is that a spark fell among
either leaves or a birds nest and
set the roof on fire.
Sunday school was in progress
when it was reported to the con.
gregation that the handsome
edifce was burning. However, all
filed out in an orderly manner and
no one was injured. The building
was valued at $4,000, with SIS, 800
insurance.
This is the same church house
that was set fire to several years
ago, resulting in considerable dam,
age. 1t is more than probable
that the Presbyterians will lay
plans at once for a new house Of
worship.
