ENBARGONAY NOT

Until Neutrals Give
Proper Assurances
NV Associnted Press. ,

Washington, Oct. 6.-Ffnal decis
sion Of the United States regarding
the adoption Of a permanent en-
barge on shipments to Sweden, Nor
way and Denmark, IL was said today
depends entirely on awaited assur-
ances from the Scandinavian gov
ernments that no leakage of Ameri-
can exports to Germany will be per-
mitted.
That the present embargo is not
permanent was emphasized in a
statement of the exports admini-
strative board that the matter was
still under consideration.
An important step towards the
total curtailment of exports from
neutral countries to Germany is the
announcement that this government
will refuse coal to neutral ships
carrying supplies from. South Amer
lea to Scandinavia unless their car
goes are inspected in American
ports. ~

AN AaaocIated PreSs.l

Washington, Oct. b.-American
army ofIicers have been watching
with intense interest the situation
on the western front. which appar-
entity is reaching a climax In the
great drive launched by the British.
From the many reports indicating
the developing Of some important
movement, coupled with the contin-
uai futile attacks Of the Germans
along the British front, some mill
tafy observers here have become
convinced that the Teutons were
covering a great withdrawal Of their
line Other officers, however. believe
that the German high command has
been hurting its men at the enemy
with the desire to check an advance,
determined to hold It's present lines
at any cost until winter comes to
the rescue.
Ohicers who think the German ac~
tiyity has covered a withdrawal TO
shorten and strengthen lines and
ease the strain on the army expect
that behind the German divisions
through which General Haig's men
were Cutting their way today, win
be found new positions, fully man
ned and strongly built, against which
the offensive viii crash.
Early reports from the front show
ed the Germans to be surrendering
by hundreds. This may mean deteri-
oration of morale to such an extent
that the rear guard will fail In It's
mission and spell disaster TO the
newly chosen positions.
Spirit Is Broken.
Some observers are to be- found
here. who believe that the German
army spirit generally il badly shat
tered. In support Of this they cite
the continual peace cry in Germany;
the expressions OF prisoners captur-
ed by the allies; the youth OF pris-
oners and the repeated failures Of
German attacks during the last few
weeks, 10 make any impression on
the British and French kr0nts
In the view Of these developments
officers believe a definite aseendaney
has been established BIZ the allies
IL the morale Of their armies. They

SENATE Will VOTE
ON ADJOURNMENT
CBy Associated Press.l

Washington, Oct. 5.--The senate
met early today for q final cleanup
Of legislation awaiting disposition
before the end OF the extraordinary
session OF congress, which IL expect
ed tomorrow.
The question of adjournment came
before the senate in a resolution
adopted by the house yesterday pro-
yiding that the session shall end at
p. m. tomorrow. Its adoption by the
senate during the day was forecast.
Arrangements had been made to
take up for immediate passage the
house bill permitting foreign built
vessels TO enter American coaGtwise
trade. =
Senator La Toilette Is understood
to be awaiting an opportunity to adj
dress the senate in reply TO critics
who demand his expulsion.

American Army Officers See Hope
or Complete Victory As Result Of
British BloUs On the Flanders Front

rgard that condition as torecasting
complete victory, although none are
willing TO venture q prediction as to
when the German collapse may
come.
There have been indications that
the allied commanders have been
intent upon the destruction OF the
morale of the German soldiers as
much as upon forcing their way for
ward in recent battles. The lavish
expenditure OF artillery ammunition
In which they have engaged steadily
for months may have been design
ed largely to shake the nerves OF the
men among whom the shells were
falling day and night.
The results OF today's drive, some
officers believe, may prove clearly
that the demonstrated preponderance
OF allied artillery shown over and
over again to the men OF both
armies, has served not only to heart
en- the men OF the British and French
armies and instil into them abso-
lutte confidence In the final outcome
Of the war, hut has served to equal
ly depress and render doubtful the
rank and file Of the Germans.
More Open Fighting.
There are many observers also,
who believe that with the Germans
forced back out OF the more rugged
country, the fighting may assume a,
more open character next spring. In
the wide level lands into which the
battle lines are being carried, there
Is no natural strong position Sand
bags must replace ridges and con-
crete and steel the hills that have
made possible the small forts which
have held up many q charge in the
past.
Coupled with this goes the sug-
Restion that real strategic operations
may become possible next year for
the first time since the armies dug III
after the retreat from the Marine.
Spring may see gigantic movements
set a4oOt % break the deadlock Of
trench warfare. Whether q combin-
ca land and sea assault on the ex-
posed hank of the German line
might be included ne ofncer would
predict.

Hog Breeders
Ask Guaranteed
Prices For 1918

Waterloo, Ia, oct. 5.-Resolutions
adopted by hog breeders of six corn
belt states-Iowa, Illinois. Minnesota,
Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri-in
conference here, were forwarded to-
day to Herbert G. Hoover, food ad-
ministrator, asking that he fix the
price at which next years spring pigs
will sell when of market size. The
breeders recommended a price based
on ratio Of ID bushels of corn to 100
pounds of pork put on the market aft
er Aug. /, 1918. This measure was
set forth as necessary to insure large
increase In production so urgently de-
manded by the food administration.
