ENEMY TRADING

Situation Preliminary to
Cabinet Action.
American Policy Will be. to
Allow as Wide a Latitude

Washington, April 2S.-Trading-
with-the-enemy legislation to be ask
ed Of congress by the administration
was studied yesterday by President
Wilson. Details have not been made
public but 1t is known hat a liberal
plan 10 made possible, and that the
new measure will be much less restric-
tive than the British law after which
it Is modelled.
A completed program. it Is under
stood, will be put before the cabinet
early next week. Inc bills probably
will be introduced by administration
leaders before the week is over.
The British act prohibits. trading
not only with enemy. subjects resident
in neutral countries and in Great
Britain and through the blacklist has
been extended to prevent trading with
neturals who trade with Britain's enc
mics. The American law, it Is said,
will be written in general terms max
ing it unlawful to trade with an enemy
government or with an individual en-
envy. Wide powers would be given
the president in defining the word
Enemy"
The American policy in general, Of
ficials say, will be to allow as wide
q latitude as consistent with nationa
interest and safety.

perfectly executed by Mortimer Keely.

there was not an error, was given
by eight young college men in the
Sword Dance. an ancient English rit-

victim for sacrifice. and the ritualisttc
dance that followed. A star feature
of this number, given last evening for
the first time this side of the Missis-
sippi, Miss Human announced. was
the forming of sword piece that was
several times held aloft. The perfec-
ton of this number, with the short
preparation. was also remarkable.
The folk numbers closed with the
English Country dance. Goddesses,
done with joyous and lovely abandon
by sixteen couples of college young
people. This number was designed to
portray the joy of life, and was
charmingly executed.
This program demonstrated in addi-

which appropriate attire may be ar
ranged for such dances, and the Co.'S
tunes worn last evening lent much
beauty to the general effect.

May Be Making
Riddles Kits Tn
Fargo Very Soon

The Fargo War Relief association is
considering seriously starting a new
line of relief work. that known as the
making of Riddles Kits.
The children's fund for Riddles Kits
was started in October, 1915, at the re-
quest of some of the officers of the
American Distributing service, as hun
dreds of refugee children were coming
into Paris and clothing was difficult or
impossible to get. 1t was intended that
the appeal should be made to the chill
dren of this country to supply the
needs of French and Belgian children.
That idea has been carried out, but
many donations have been received
from adults. In soliciting funds care is
taken to avoid lists used by other Or
CARNATIONS. Money sent in for kits
amounting to $4,000 has been used ex-
clusively for that object, and the
amount necessary for expenses. about
$1,000, was raised by private contri-
button.

One Of the most unusual and artis-

folk dancing exhibition given at the

direction of Miss Marv Wood Human,
OF Chicago. who is known as Ameri-

encouraging motto, The age to begin
