, conditions that are expected to arise be-
| tween now and the next harvest.
Through control Of coal and other fuels
the government intends TO take firm
grasp on shipping. An ARRANGEMENT un-
der negotiation will give the American
and British governments control of not
only all Allied tonnage, but of neutra
vessels as well. Ships now on runs not
regarded as necessary to a successful
conduct Of the war will be forced into
trades considered more essential and yes
sells now held in port through fear Of suh
marine attack will be required to 90 into
service.
Control Of iron and steel was made
necessary by war demands on those in
dustries. A shortage of steel in this
country is threatened because of the
large amount that is being diverted to
munitions manufacture and the con-
struction Of the governments merchant
| fleet. Japan's heavy purchases Of steel
plates for merchant ship building made
it necessary that plates be put under
control At the same time, this action
gives the government weapon with
which to force Japanese tonnage into
the trans Atlantic trade. Specific reg
ulations governing food exports and
shipment of other commodities named
in today's list are expected to be is
sued by the President within a few
days. Even if complete embargo is
not placed on food exports for time
II is known that many restrictions will
be made. The exports council, comprs-
ing three cabinet members and the
fod administrator. is drawing up pro-
gram to be submitted to the President
Immediately.

At Boiling Point

Although the sessions OF the main
committee and of, the constitutional
co,,,n,;+tee have been strictly leelsla-
tive the nress comments this morning
permit the differences that the discus
rione IF vital subjects of governmental
Motley reached the boiling point. That
they have been of SraNely slgnlHcahI
inonort is indicated clearly by the sud-
den decision to postpone the SaplrdaS
plenary session which was to have
marked the opening Of the general ue
bate and the expected speech OF
Chancellor Won Bothmann- HollWeS.
Chancellor's Absence
The absence of the chancellor from
the session of the main committee ana
the constitutional committee in the. lasl
few DAYS has caused general comment
in parliamentary circles as eXceptlonal
in view of the. confidential character OF
the discussions. Later yesterday II
was announced that the desire OF the
chancellor to inform himself more THOR
oughIv on the nature Of the committee
conferences was responsible for the de-
lay of the general session.
Monday will mark the inauguration OF
what promises TO be one Of the most
memorable parliamentary sessions IN
the history of the empire.
The chancellor was present today
when the committee Convened at 9
O'Clock. All the Reichstag factions re-
NAMED in session in individual groups
until late last night to decide what llne
of action should be taken
The Zetung Am Mittag says that
deputation of six members from the
Social Democratic party in the Reich
stag called on the chancellor late Fri
day for the purpose Of mpressing the
gravity of the situation on him. The
delegates insisted that the chancellor
made an unequivocal declaration that
the government was prepared at any
time to enter into peace negotiations
on the basis of the status quo. The
deputation also demanded immediate
introduction of parliamentary and cleo
toral reforms urging the appointment of
leading Reichstag deputies TO secre-
tarial and ministerial positions.
Representatives of the Progressive
Peoples party and of the National
Liberal also were in conference with
the chancellor.

Shipments to All Countries America F ir S t,
Entente Allies Next and Then the Friendly
Neutrals Will Receive American Goods

Washington, July S.-Government con-
troll Of American exports, authorized in
a provision of the espionage act, was
put into operation by President Wilson
tonight with the issuance of a proclama-
ton requiring the licensing Of shipments
to all countries of the most important ex-
port commodities.
In a statement accompanying the proc
lamation the President declares the gov
ernments policy will first be to give con-
sideration to American needs, next to
meet as far as possible the requirements
of the Allies. and lastly to supply the
neutral countries wherever practicable.
IL is made clear that every effort will be
made to see that no supplies reach the
Central Powers.
Commodities Under Control
The commodities put under control are
coal, coke, fuel oils. kerosene and gaso-
line, including bunkers; good grains. -four
and meat, fodder and meats and fat, pig
iron, billets, ship plates and structural
shapes. scrap iron and scrap steel ferro
manganese, fertilizers, arms, ammunition
and explosives.
The inclusion Of foodstuffs in the proc
lamation lends color to statements that
the administration is considering the ad-
visibility of complete embargo for 60
days on all food shipments to give the
country time to ascertain the amount Of
its supplies and to give allied and neu-
trail countries an opportunity to present

Why the Navy Needs
So Many More Men

Portland, Nc, July S.-Rear Admiral
Navigation. at a recent hearing before
the House Committee on Naval Affairs,
stated in answer TO the question why
the navy needed 10000 men that I'VE
have taken in several squadrons of
ships TO be sent abroad, each one of
them to be fully manned. We have a
plan for from $50 to 500 submarine
chasers, each having 20 men, that is.
approximately, 10000. We have a call
Tor 1000 boats to be built by Goethals.
and each one will require full gun
crews for at least guns, also signal
men. radio men, etc.
For the 1000 ships. 80 to 40-thousand
men will be needed. We have about Is
merchant ships that we want to take
over in addition TO those already taken
over. They will have on them $50
men. approximately. which adds UP to
something like 1900 men. We want
to largely increase our Aviation Corps,
to add abort 5000 men.
Then there are a great many yachts
and vessels for mine sweeping and lay
ing. tugs and vessels Of that class that
will have to be sent abroad; these will
need men on them. You can see that
these are things that we know about
now and there are probably more to
follow
Secretary Daniels also said that the
department had added so craft to the
navy between May 10 and June 10, in
Guiding yachts. barges. golfers, and
various kinds of ships. He stated: I'VE

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT


Carson Appeal: The. school trus-
tees of the district in Humboldt
County, who peremptorily fired" a
teacher for refusing to pay proper
tribute to the American flag, and
State Superintendent Bray. who rati-
fled their action. are to be commend
ed for the stand they took. Their
course should be followed by every
board of trustees in the State, should
similar occurrence arise.
The school teachers of Nevada are
the servants of the people. not the
dictators. If the people demand as
they do, that their children be taught
to stand when the National air is
played or lift their hats or stand
attention when "Old Glory" is raised
it is the teachers place to see that it
is done. Failing in this or other pa
triotic duties they should be given
their dismissal. This is no time to
parley with them.
