THE EMBARGO ON FOODsTUFFs.

Germany has without doubt obtain
ed much assistance from the ship
ments of the neutral countries around
her. Much of these shipments, with
out doubt, were obtained by these neu-
trails from the United States. 1t mat
ters little whether our exports went
direct to Germany, or fed the neutrals
and released their products for export
to Germany. The important fact is
that Germany and her allies received
help from the neutrals.
The administration is of the opinion
that strict embargo upon shipments
to neutral countries in Europe would
compel them to utilize their own pro-
ducts, and prevent the shipment of
most Of Germany's imports. 1t is the
Conviction of the administration that
without these imports Germany and
her allies will suffer grave interfer-
enco with their war plans. If the ad-
ministration has this knowledge there
should not be a minutes hesitation
about applying the embargo. The
rights of the neutrals need not be con-
sidered. They will suffer, but SO will
the nations in the war. If American
lives are saved by an embargo. we say
put on the lid, and keep it tight.

QUICK WORK
FROM FOREST
TO BUILDINGS
MISSISSIPPI PINE TREES CON-
VERIFIED INTO KENTUCKY
BUILDINGS RAPIDLY

Chicago, Aug More than 10000
carloads of lumber and other building
supplies for the sixteen national army
cantonments to house the first division
of men called to the colors, have been
delivered by the railroads within thir-
ty days from the placing of the first
order.
An indication of the speed with
which the materials are being de-
livered was cited today in an an
nouncement from the railroads war
board telling of the erection of ad-
ministration buildings at the canton
ment at Louisville, KY, from lumber
cut in a Mississippi pine forest the
week before. The trees were felled
on Saturday, kiln-dried on Sunday,
loaded on freight cars Monday and de-
livered at the cantonment site on We'd
nesday. Carpenters completed the
transformation from forest to govern
ment buildings just one week from the
day the trees had been felled.

THE RED GROSS
HAS BUREAU OF
WAR SANITATION

Washington, D. c., Aug. 6.-Follow-
ing its policy of caring for the health
not only of the soldiers and sailors of
the United States, but as we'll that of
the civil population, the American Red
Cross has established bureau of san
itary service which will supplement
and assist Federal, state and local au-
thorities in meeting sanitary emergen-
cies created by the war. The work of
the bureau will center in the civilian
areas surrounding army cantonments.
While sanitary control of national
army environments, national guard
camps, and naval bases will be exer-
cised by the military authorities, the
districts Immediately adjoining these
camps will be under no such jurisdic-
tion. Yet the assembling of large bodies
of troops will create new sanitary con-
ditions. These must be met to safe
guard the health of civilians as we'll as
of soldiers.
The problem of milk supply, for ex-
ample, will be greatly enlarged The
supply itself must be doubled and
sometimes trebled, and this means in
creased forces for inspection. In the
southern states, where malaria is
danger, the Red Cross has already un-
dertaken efforts looking toward the
determination of mosquitoes. They
must be eliminated not only in the
camps proper, but in the surrounding
country. Cleaning up pools and other
breeding places within mile radius
of camps will mean covering from ff-
teen to sixty square miles.
When local health authorities are in
sufficiently equipped to meet these
added problems, the Red Gross will Of
fer the assistance of its bureau of san
itary service. 1t will take the field on
ly upon invitation of the local organi-
zation in charge Of sanitation. The
public health service will act as the ad-
vance agent, deciding in conjunction
with the local authorities what meas
ures are necessary and how much
equipment it will take to meet ade-
quately the new conditions.
Whenever requested by state author
tiles, coupled with Recommendation
of the public health service, the Red
Cross will furnish any important mill
tary area with sanitary unit. This
will consist of the required number of
psychologists, supervising and subor-
dinate sanitary inspectors, public
health nurses and assistants. The Red
Cross will be prepared to furnish this
unit with equipment, transportation.
and such supplies as disinfectants AMI
screening to enable the poor to carry
out the REQUIRED sanitary precautions
in their homes.
w. H. Frost, surgeon of the publ.
health service, has been assigned b.
the surgeon-general at the request Of
the Red Cross war council as director
of the bureau of sanitary service. DR..
Frost is one of the leaders of his pro-
fession. and has had wide experience
extending over thirteen years in the
public health service
He was in New Orleans during the
yellow fever epidemic of 1905, and has
studied poliomyelitis in Buffalo and
Batavia, N. Y, in Iowa, and in the
New York epidemic of last year. He
was also connected with the hygienic
laboratories which studied the pollu-
ton of the Potomac river and also Of
the Ohio river.

AS one reads the various news dis
patches he is apt to be struck by the
fact that the United States covers
quite an expanse of territory, that a
very pressing issue in some sections
is hardly discussed in others and that,
as a whole, it is remarkable what real
ly happens throughout the length and
breadth of the land.

ASA M. LOWE RESIGNS;
G. E. NOBLIT ELECTED
Continued from page n

4 NSO4lLlnu6Q from page ID
Mr.. Asa M. Lowe, resigned. l shall
accept this Office of city councilman
and serve at least until the next regu-
lar election. Not because l wish to
hold any office within the gift of the
voters of my city, but because l know
that the citizens are entitled to, and
texpect under the present form of gov
ernment an economical and efficient
administration of its affairs. My city,
because | have helped to build it and
of which am proud because of its
character, attractiveness and CONNER
cial Importance, must and shall have
the best government we can give it,
until more progressive form may be
adopted; and one of my efforts will be
toward that end. will endeavor to
protect its best interests and consider
its every right, privilege and utility
and obligation sacred trust placed
upon me.
81 have no selfish interests to protect
and no friends that l will favor, but
shall endeavor to give every honest,
decent citizen square deal.
Respectfully,
&c. E. NOBLIT."
We feel that Mr.. Noblit will make
an excellent councilman and will do
just what he conscientiously believes
to be for the general good of the city
Our personal esteem for Mr.. Noblit
has been expressed in these columns
several times. He is a man who is alb
solutely unafraid and curries no
favors. We believe him incapa-
bic of using underhanded methods
to gain any point. We believe he will
play absolutely fair and in the open
and no one could ask for more. Be
sides Mr.. Noblit is one of Tarpon's
eldest citizens and has assisted in al
most everything which has helped to
build up this city for the past thirty
OF more years. He has retired from
active business and will have time to
devote to the city's interests, and we
cannot name any one whom we would
prefer to Mr.. Noblit.
The petition which had been filed
asking the council to appoint a time
and place to meet with representa-
tive body of citizens to thresh out and
dispose of the causes which had
brought The Leader to criticise mem
bers of the council was withdrawn.
The Leader feels that it meets with
general approval of the people when it
tells of the actions OF the council OF
any individual councilman whose ac-
tions are not open and above board
though it earnestly hopes these mat
tcrs which have been so badly mixed
Will be Strengthened out and the fu-
ture actions of the council Will leave
no room for just censure. The Leader
will most assuredly never censure un-
justly.
The money for the new water mains
and sewers and for opening Pinellas
avenue is now in TIE bank and no
doubt action Will be taken at the next
meeting to get the work under way.
The council will meet again Thurs
day afternono to prepare for the COM
ing election at which the matter of
changing certain sections of the city |
charter will be considered.

Paris Jan 25.-All the places of amusement in Paris took in 17OOO,- 900 francs less in 1915 than in 1914 and about 44,OoO,ooO francs less than in 1913. The legitimate theaters took in about S,100,00O francs. which was only 100000 francs more than the moving picture shows and only a quarter ot the receipts of 1913.
 The situation of the moving pie ture houses as compared with thea ters is partly accounted for by the fact that they were open throughout the year but there is also a remark able growth. In five years, including two and a half years of war, they have doubled their receipts notwith- standing the fact that the best critics have consistently maintained that their programs were becoming more mediocre every month.

MYSTERIOUS FIRES.
Rubbish and Two Beds Arc Merely
 Blazing,

Two fires of unexplained origin that but for timely discovery, would have proved serious were eXtinguished early today without calling tn the fire department. One, discovered shortly after o'clock this morning by Po- liceman Joseph Kennedy in a rubbish pile back of the WeXler block at 439 Arch street, was assuming dangerous proportions. Policeman Kennedy had several minutes of lively work but managed to check the flames with the assistance of Policemen Anthony Bachman and Charles Anderson.
 About the same time Peter Perakos of the Scenic theater discovered two beds in the front room of his home at IS Union street to be on fire. Con- verting himself into one-man water brigade, he managed to check the flames without assistance. Later he reported the trouble to Policeman William P. McCue. He was unable to explain the cause of the blaze.
