Products of Dsaffected Hearts
Father Than Errors of Mind.

Chicago, Aug. -Unpatriotic utter
ances, especially by men Of promi-
nence, are more likely to be due to a
wrong attitude of heart than an error
of the mind, according to an interview
with William Jennings Bryan in Chi
cago.
~ Go not want to make individual
application" said Mr.. Bryan. but
while an unpatriotic utterance may pos
sibly be due to an error of the mind
it is more likely TO be due to wrong
attitude of heart. The tongue is not
likely TO slip unless the heart skids.
There can be but two sides to this
war, and every American ought to be
on the side of the United States.
mo one who loves his country can
afford TO take any chance of help

FINDS MANS BODY IN BRUSH
Boy Attracted,by Bark Of Dog Comes
Across Corpse of Stranger by
Roadside-May Be Murder.

Hartford The finding of a mans
body in clump of bushes beside the
road leading to Pike Lake, near this
city, has aroused the sheriffs Office to
a thorough investigation.
The body was discovered by boy
attracted to the spot by the barking
of his dog, and had evidently lain there
several weeks. A large hole on the
left side of the skull told of violence
Outside of coat, shoes and hat the
body was completely clothed.
A pair of automobile goggles was
found hanging on bush just above the
body and leads the police to believe
that the man was murdered elsewhere
and carried to the deserted spot.
There was nothing in the pockets
but a handkerchief bearing the initial
M" and a pearl handled knife.
No definite clew has been developed.

The question is of such Importance that

An order has been sought in circuit

the spur track in question.
When the matter was given a hear

T0CONTROL EXPORTS
PRESIDENT WILSON'S uNIVER-i
SAL EMBARGO PROTECTS
coUNTRY'S NEEDS.
LICENSE FOR ALL GOODS
Board Headed by Vance Mccormick tol
Have Entire Charge of flssulna Per-
mits to Ship Commodities
From American Ports.

Washington, Aug. 20. - President
Wilson on Monday night issued proc
lamation giving the government CON-
troll over all commodities exported
from the United States.
1t is the most drastic step for econ
omy control taken by any nation dur
Ing the war. The president said he.
aims at control, not at actual stop
ping of exports.
All articles of commerce must be
licensed for export to enemy coun-
tries and European neutrals. This
will give the United States for the
first time control over certain muni-
tions and money sent to the neutrais.
The list of commodities for which
license is required is widely extended.
This" says the president, ''is for
the protection of our own needs"
The proclamation was accompanied
by an explanation In which the presi-
dent detailed the difference between
the divisions established In naming
the commodities coming under the
ruling.
THE purpose of this proclamation
Is not export prohibition, but merely
export control" the president said.
1T is not the intention to interfere
unnecessarily with our foreign trade,
but our own domestic needs must be
safeguarded and the necessities of all
the nations at war with Germany
must be protected After these needs
are met, 1t is our wish and intention
To administer to the needs of the neu-
trail nations. This task will be dis
Charged without other than the prop
er qualification that the liberation Of
our surplus products shall not be
made the occasion of benefit to the
enemy, either directly or Indirectly.
mo licenses will be necessary for
the importation of coin, bullion, cur
reacy and evidences OF indebtedness
until required by regulations to be
promulgated by The secretary of the
treasury at his discretion"
The administration of the proclama
tiOn, except as it refers to coin, bull
lion and currency, is placed in the
hands of the exports administrative
board.
This board a few days ago had no
authority to act. Its members, headed
by Vance Mccormick. chairman, adj
vocated strict ratloning system with
regard to allies and neutrals alike.
