PLAN TO LIMIT
FOOD SHIPMENTS
TO EUROPEANS
Conference at Washington is
Working Out Scheme to
Ration Six Nations Not
Now at War.

Washington, May lS.-The ration
ing OF Holland, Norway, Sweden,
Denmark, Switzerland and Spain was
discussed today at conference at
the State department between Brit
ish Foreign Secretary Balfour, Secre-
tary Lansing and British and Amcri-
can trade experts.
The necessity OF limiting exports
strictly to those countries, both to
prevent their finding their way into
enemy territory and to conserve every
possible ton OF allied shipping for the
most essential work, was considered
in all phases.
Allies Build Up System,
The allies in the first two and
half years Of the war have built up
a most elaborate system to allow only
enough supplies imported to coun-
tries contiguous 10 Germany to main
tain their normal stocks.
Voluminous statictics have been
collected to assure the safeguarding
OF the neutrals necessities. Semi.of.
fetal agencies have been established
in several of the countries to coop
crate in this plan and guarantee that
imports will not fall into enemy hands.
The British have submitted all these
statistics TO the American officials,
who in turn have added valuable
supplemental information collected by
American consdls while this country
was still neutral. -.. q.
The rationing problem was reported
in full today by subcommittee con-
sisting OF Lord Ustice Percy, DR.. Z.
E. Pratt, chief Of the bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce, and Will

bureau.
Trading with Enemy.
A report on trading with the enemy
was presented by Sir Eric Drum
mond, Solicitor Lester H. Woolsey
Of the. Slate department and F. w.
Halsted, chief OF the customs bureau.
The Scandinavian countries have
shown alarm over a possible extern
sion OF the rationing system and have
pointed out that any further restric-
ton will vitality endanger their econo-
mic safety. Several nations 1t is un-
derstood will send commissioners to
this country to secure as generous ar
engagements as possible. the Swedish
delegate, Herman L. F. Lagercrantz,

Secret Agreement
Between the Kaiser

Paris, May 1S.-A long account Of a
secret pact between the kaiser and
Emperor Nicholas and aimed against
France, is givep in the last issue OF

istence OF the treaty was discovered

mouth.
Count White, furious at the decep-
ton of the car, informed the kaiser
that unless the pact was cancelled, he
would refuse to countersign the treaty
of Portsmouth. As German bankers
were interested in loan to Russia
this would hit them hard, and the
story goes, rather than have complica-
tons in his economic policy, the
kaiser yielded. Neither emperor, how
ever, ever forgave Count White.
At the beginning OF the war Count
Witte communicated the facts to B.

Difference IN MILK PRICES
Until Recently Product Has eeea
Paid for Without Regard to DUAL.
ity-Farmers Organizing.

Discussing the cost Of producing
milk by dairymen and the cost Of dis
tribution by dealers, Prof. Fred Ras'
mussen, head of the dairy husbandry
department at the Pennsylvania state
college, recently asserted that milk
has until very recently been paid for.
without regard to quality, the cheapest
and poorest milk determining the
price. The farmer, he said, has not
made use Of collective bargaining In
the sale of milk, and as an individual
has accepted whatever price was Of
fered.
1.-THE fact that milk has always been
obtalnable farther away from the mar
ket at less price than the difference
in the cost Of transportation" said
Professor Rasmussen, "has made 1t
difficult to get rise In price Of milk
for the farmer. The farmer as class
is slow to change and slow to organ
lie. 1t has been the history through
out the world that cooperation among
farmers develops only under economic
pressure.
"The fact that milk producers In
the eastern part Of the United States
are today organizing to save their in
dustry from financial ruin is the best
evidence of the economic pressure the
industry is suffering. In the solving
Of the crisis In the milk business today
many adjustments must be made"

World War in Brief

Having retreated a distance of ap-
proximately leo miles from where
Kerensky, the iron man of Russia,
carried them in his personally con-
Quoted drive early in the present
month, the Russian Army on the cen
ter of the line in East Galicia is again
on Russian soil on both sides of Hush
atyn and is still being followed by the
forces of the Teutonic Allies.
Wherever those of the faithful
troops attempt to give battle they are
harassed by numerically stronger
forces of the Teutons and compelled
to give ground, receiving no assistance
from their recalcitrant former
brothers-in-arms, whose main effort
continues to be to get out of striking
distance of the enemy.
Likewise the armies to the north
and south continue to fall back before
the enemy, at a few points only stand
ing to offer semblance of resistance,
and then only for short periods CT
time.
Down along this latter front the
Russians, aided oy the Roumanians,
continue to force the Teutonic Allies
to cede ground, especially in the
upper Putna Valley.
Several attacks by the Germans in
the Verdun sector, notably between
the much-fought-for ground in the
region of the AvocOurt Wood and Hill
904 also were repulsed by General
Petain's forces.
Meanwhile, although the infantry
operations are on minor scale, con-
sisting mainly Of raids by the British,
the great artillery - (which has been
il progress in Flanders for more than
week continues undated.
The rain of German shells on Nieu-
port is tremendous, and the British
guns are replying almost SHOT for shot

WANT CR0WDER
TO EXEMPT THEM
Provost MarshaI's Office Flood
ed With Letters.
REFERRED TO LOCAL BOARDS
Statement Says All Claims For Indus
trial Exemption Must Go To Dis
trict Boards-coaI Operators
Want Miners On the Job.

Washington.-A deluge of personal
inquiries concerning future steps in
the Army draft, and Of pleas from in
dustrial concerns for exemption OF
their expert workers, drew from the
Provost Marshal's Office statement
that questions must be addressed to
local boards and that claims for in.
dustrial exemption must go later to
the district boards. No general class
of workmen will be exempted, Provost
Marshal General Crowder told the
coal production committee, which
sought information whether miners
would be left at their work. Appeals
to the Provost Marshal's Office from
employers on behalf of their workmen
can accomplish nothing, it was -ex-
planned, as regulations promulgated by
President Wilson govern all exemp-
tons.
"The question of whether a man is
more useful to his country in peace
full pursuit, than in military service is
matter to be taken up with the dis
trict board" said an announcement,
"and for that board to determine in
the light of the circumstances sur
rounding each individual case.
Procedure in case of claim for dis
charge on the ground of industry or
agriculture is explicitly outlined in the
regulations. Only the upper or dis
trict board has jurisdiction over an in
dustrial or agricultural claim for dis
charge. Before man has a standing
before the district board he must first
be certified to it by the local or lower
board as physically qualified for serv-
ice and must have had any discharge
claim made before the lower board de-
cided adversely to him.
HE has five days after he is GER
tilted to the upper board in which to
file claim for discharge and five days
more in which to file proof. All claims
for exemption or discharge, except
claims for discharge on industrial or
agricultural grounds, are decided
originally by the local or lower board"
Most Individual queries to the Pro-
yost Marshals Office come from men
who are absent from their place of
registration and who have been sum-
moned for examination. Such a man
should apply in writing to the local
board in the district where he is regis.
tered and request an order directing
him to appear for physical examina-
ton and possibly exemption or dis
charge claim before the board of the
district in which he is now living. This
request should designate definitely the
board having jurisdiction over the dis
trict in which he is living: for ex-
ample, local exemption board, divi-
sion No. 8, New York City"

inches. A little retaining or trip lever
was also fastened to the frame and
engages In suitable slot in the end
of the carrier body. This lever Is
shown in the sketch, and 1t Is to keep
the carrier body in place when loading.
and to release the body so that it will
swing on the pivots in unloading.
The next thing was to put up the
track. I used round steel cable pur-
chased from the local dealer and fas-
tened this to post in the barnyard
suitably guyed and anchored. The
other end of the cable ran through
the barn door to the opposite side.
There I fastened it to the wall securely
and stretched 1t tight. Then I hung
the carrier in place and the job was
completed. It works fine and is about
as good as a more expensive one.
