Secretary RedfieId Calls Attention Of
Congress to Measures for continu-
ino the Large Trade

shington.-Measures for making
the most of Americas world trade
opportunity are foremost in Secretary
Redfield's report to Congress of the
many activities of the Department OF
Commerce.
"The visible balance of trade in IA
vor of the United States on merchan-
disc transactions for the fiscal year
ended June 80. 1917. was $3.634.45O.-

$50 1855, ,185. During the three months
period from the close of the fiscal
year to Oct. l the merchandise ex-
ports have been $1,319,213.625. The
imports $729.9S7.017 and the net visi-
BILE balance $5S9,235.6O8.
"This country now holds the great
est reserve of gold the world has
ever seen 1t is great economic
prize. On it, as a secure base, rests
our national, state, municipal, cor
porate and private credits. Let 1t be
seriously diminished and the volume
of credits that we can give is thereby
diminished also.
There are but few ways in which
this reserve. based on which our cred
its depend. can be adequately pro-
tected from economic attack. Among
these methods are loans abroad, In
vestments abroad. sales abroad. SER
vices abroad. By one or another OF
these methods or by combinations of
them we can keep the current OF ex-
change so flowing that our gold re-
serve may resist serious diminution.
In so doing we conserve our power to
give credit, which is to say our power
to do business on a large scale. This
means employment. activity. occupa-
ton.
"The establishment of free ports at
strategic points on our coast would be
a potent factor in maintaining and ex-
tending our foreign trade"

der agreement to. vote on the prohi-
bition amendment to the constitution
Monday afternoon and accordingly the
measure came before the solons at
sos O'Clock.
Many members approached the vote
with trepidation. as their actions IN
voting, either one way or another. was
bound to please only one part OF their
constituents. 1t was necessary that
the resolution to amend the constitu-
tion receive a two-thirds vote in Or
der to pass the House. Having passed
the House it must yet receive the
sanction of three-fourths of the state
Legisl; trres before it becomes the or
ganic iaw of the land. The states
have seven years time in which to
act on the measure.
The Senate already has adopted the
resolution. except that it has allowed
only six years for the Legislatures OF
the various states to act. The action
OF the House means that the differ
ence must be adjusted in conference
and the conference report adopted by
both branches of the National Legis'
lature by both sides before it is sub
mitted to the states.

"ALLIEs WINNING WAR; WE'LL

FIGHT ON TO VICTORY
GERMANY GAMBLING AMERICA
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
TRANSPORT ARMY.

London. - That steady progress
towards the desired goal is being
made by the allies, despite some un
toward occurrences, is the firm con
viction of Premier Lloyd George, he
declared Friday. 1t is because of this
fact, the premier said. that he would
regard peace overtures to Prussia at
the moment when her military spirit
was drunk with boastfulness as be
trayal of the trust of himself and his
colleagues.
If Russia persists in her present
policy. the premier pointed out. the
withdrawal by the enemy from the
East of third of his troops must re-
lease hundreds of thousands OF men
and masses of material to attack
Great Britain. France and Italy.
1T would be folly" he added, ''to
underrate the danger, equal folly to
eXaggerate it, and the greatest folly
of all not to face it.

cided to abandon the struggle against
military autocracy the American DEM
ocracy is taking it up"

The deadly grip of the British navy

of the troops was making an impress
sion which would tell in the end.
He said those who during the past
fortnight were organizing nervous
breakdown in the nation Were the
same as those who recently were or
ganizing an hysterical shout over the
Flanders victories.
Mr.. Lloyd George said he was glad
to understand that Lord Lands

derstood and that Lord Landsdowne
was in agreement with President Will
son.

not desire to force q controversy
where none existed"
Il warn the nation to watch the
man who thinks there is halfway
house between victory and defeat" the
premier admonished. These are the
men who think you can end the war
now by some sort of what they call
peace-by setting up league of ma
tions. That is the right policy after
victory-without victory 1t would be a
farce"

Premier Lloyd George said that a
call must be made on the nation for
great sacrifices, and more fighting
men were needed until the American
forces arrive to offset the burden that
had been cast on the allies by the de-
fection of Russia and the reverses in

The American consul at Tiflis. in
the Russian Caucasus, recently sent
report which was received in Wash
ington, Dec. 8, stating that rumor
was in circulation that former EN-
peror Nicholas had escaped. The
message made 1t clear that there was
no confirmation and there has been
nothing since received confirmatOry
of the report until the Petrograd ad-
vices
Tobolsk is in Siberia. about 1900
miles east of Moscow. For some time
after the outbreak of the revolution
and the monarch's deposition, he.
with his family. was confined in the
royal palace at Tsarskoe-Selo. On
Aug 10, however, the Russian pro-
visional government announced that
he had been transferred to Tobolsk,
together with the members of his
family and his suite. At first he was
quartered in the governors palace in
the town of Tobolsk. but on Oct. IL
1t was given out that he and his fam
fly had been transferred to a monas-
terry situated about twenty miles out
side. Tobolsk Is 1000 miles from the
Pacific coast and 1000 miles from the
Chine border.
On the other hand there were un-
confirmed reports in November OF a
political overturn in Siberia which
had made the vast province land
friendly to the former ruler. The re-
port, which came through Finland.
said that Siberia had declared its in
dependence and had proclaimed Mich
olas its emperor.
The effect OF the escape upon Boil
sheviki plans for the future course of
Russia could scarcely be even sur
missed, so enigmatic in many ways has
been the recent course of the Lenine-
Trotzky government in Petrograd,
which now appears to be getting the
upper hand in many parts of the coun,
try outside the northern counties,
overcoming the opposition of the
more conservative elements.
