ASK MODIFICATION OF
DRAFT LAW CONSTRUCTION

Chicago, Aug. 24.-Resolutions call
ing for notifications in the interpre-
tation and administration of the
draft law were adopted at the annual
meeting OF the National Live Stock
Shippers Productive League, which
opened today at the stock yards. The
resolutions were ordered sent to Pres
ident Wilson after a report to the
convention by w r. Stubs, former
governor of Kansas, in which it was
said construction placed upon it and
the execution of the draft law were
taking competent men from the farms
of the country to an extent that
threatened to curtail seriously the
production of foodstufs.
THE proposition that skilled farm
labor be replaced by unframed naeN
from the cities was tried by Great
Britain with disastrous results" the
report said I'VE feel that the United
States should not repeat this mistake
The present Interpretation of the Sc
lective draft is sure to curtail food
production"

SAVANNAH SUGAR REFINERY
is WORKING NIGHT AND DAY

Savannah, August 28.-The low-rate
trade territory of the Savannah ST.
gar Refining Corporation, already SO
extensive that 100000 people are
closer to Savannah, from a sugar-rate
standpoint, than to New Orleans or
Philadelphia ,(where the nearest rival
rehneries are located,) has been ex-
tended to include Wilmington, N. c.,
by reason of reduction in sugar rates
granted by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The commission ruled that a rate
of 20 cents per hundred pounds was
authorized on sugar from Savannah to
Wilmington, provided no higher rates
are charged between intermediate
points pending final settlement of all
Savannah sugar rates. This ruling
permits saving Of from 2 to 8 cents
per hundred pounds, and enables the
Savannah refinery to go further north
from Wilmington into the natural ter
ritory of the Philadelphia rehneries.
The Savannah refinery is working
day and night, and its product is being
sold throughout the entire southeast
to jobbers. Dixie Crystals" is the
name of its sugar.

Wilson Tiyhtens Export
Control To Hit The
German Empire

Washington, August 28.-President
Wilson frightened The governments
control OF exports by an order forbid
ding the shipment OF any goods 70 FIJI
rspcan countries except under e.
censc, and by extending the list for
which license is required in shipmen+
to the allies and neutraIs other Yhau
European countries TO include eettca,
all meats sugar and most OF Amer
cas- other export commodities.
Statement by President Wilson
Accompanying the proclamation
was statement from the president,
explaining It's purposes. 1t said:
he purpose and effect OF elsss
proclamation is not export prohibieiou
but merely export control. 1t rs Rot
the intention to interfere unneca sea-
r'iy with our foreign trade; bnt sar
own domestic needs must be a6e-
qnatesy saieauarded, and there is the
added duty Of meeting the necessities
OF all the nations at war with the ina
ptrial German government.
After these needs are met, il is
our wish and intention to minister 10
the needs OF the neutral nations as far
as our resources permit This task
will be discharged without other thas.
the liberation of our surplus products
shall not be made the occasion or
benefit to the enemy, either directly
or indirectly.
The TWO lists have been PREPARED
in the interests OF facility and cxpe-
dlency. The first list, applicable to
the enemy and her allies and to nc
neutral countries of Europe, brings
under control practically all articles Of
commerce; while the second list, ap-
plicable to all the other countries of
the world, makes only few additions
to the list of commodities controlled
by the proclamation of July 9, 1917.
ut is obvious that closer super
vision and control of exports is nee
essary with respect to those Euro
pean peutrals within the sphere of
hostilities than is required for those
countries farther removed
The establishment of those dis
tinctions will simplify the adrninistra-
tive processes ard enable US to con-
tinue our policy of minimizing the Ia
terference OF trade"

or the registered voters and the fact
that both candidates had friends of
their own selection the election board
prevented even a suspicion of unfair
