Neutral Nations To Feel
Embargo Choking thei|
German Empire
Entente Allies See Necessity
6: Preventing Supplies
Running Blockade

Washington, Oct. 17.-Neutral ma.
tions and particularly those in Eu.
rope must be prepared to share ev,
en- greater deprivation and burdens
made necessary by the war under
the decision of the recent Allied con-
ference at London.
Details of the conference are be-
ginning to reach Washington
through official channels. They
show that the Allies are determined
to support the armies in the field by
cutting off as far as possible all
supplies for the German army from
neutral sources through a Tightening
of the blockade.
Attention was called at the confer
ence to the necessity Of preventing
Sweden from supplying Germany
with metals and the general opinion
was that hereafter the neutrals
should be compelled to furnish the
Allies with goods Of their own pro-
duction which they cannot consume
in exchange for supplies from the
Allies. They will be required to use
their own ships for this trade.
''Such is the new blockade form
ula, which must be strictly applied,
and which will make it impossible
for Germany to continue the strug-
gle," said one declaration of the con-
ference. The extent to which the
United States will be influenced by
the decisions of the London confer
ence has not been revealed, but that
this government is in accord with
them is evidenced by the rigid re-
placed upon exports to
the European neutrals from this
country.

Within sixty days 500 more men
will come to Morgan City to be en-
ployed at the Union Bridge and Con-
/ struction Company Shipyard. Soon
thereafter, 500 more are expected to
come here to take part in the same
work. This information is in ac-
cordance with advices given ont
from reliable sources. 1000 men,
many of them doubtless men with
families, to be added 70 the popula-
ton Of this city, city already
crowded from standpoint of ac-
commodations
Government officials are writing
the Chamber of Commerce to Is
certain conditions here in regard to
accommodation which men employ
ed in the government work may
find. Should property owners fail
to provide FOR the great increase,
which is confidently expected by
all men who have made investiga-
tions to be Of a permanent nature, it
is probable that the government Will
take a hand and build cantonment
here for the men who are to work at
shipbuilding. The effect that such
a move would have on the establish
ed business districts of Morgan City
is question in the minds of many
merchants. Should the government
boarding and rooming barracks for
workmen be established at the scene
of the Union Bridge and Construc-
ton Company operations, it has been
pointed out that new business cs-
taEljshments would spring up to
provide the big new settlement with
all the necessaries of life and that
the merchants now established and
il . position % tola care of many
times the custom that now falls to
them would suffer BY the move.
Boarding houses, hotels and restau-
rants would probably lose a great
deal Of business which they might
get should the new corners be housed
throughout the city in the usual
manner. But the greatest loss
would probably be experienced by
the owners Of vacant property who
might improve their holdings and
derive splendid returns therefrom.
Property owners and capitalists
Of Morgan City have given serious
thought 70 the question Of building
rent residences here, but there is cy-
isting an uncertainty in the minds Of
many as to the permanency of ship
building operations on their present
enforced scale. This hesitation is
held as justified when it is consider
ed that the Union Bridge and Con-
struction Company may, perhaps,
complete only the one contract on
which they are now working. Being
absolutely fair minded, the officials
of this great company state that
while their operations here may be
continuous they are not yet in a po-
siticn to so state. Yet it is the be-
lief that the building of ships will
be of a permanent duration at this
point and that the operations will

be on even a greater scale in the
future.
The character of the yard being
established here by the Union
Bridge and Construction Company
leads to the belief that it will be per-
manently used for shipbuilding. The
site supplied for the yard by Mrs.
NJ. NJ. Young and her sons is perhaps
the finest on the gulf coast and the
equipment and ways being built
on it are acknowledged to be supe-
rior TO every yard now being used
in the Gulf Coast section. Should
the company Of famous bridge
builders now occupying this site de-
eide to vacate it upon the ternina-
ton Of their government shipbuiid-
ing contracts, it has been pointed
out that the great demand for ships
by private owners which the end OF
the war will create will demand the
utilization Of ell the shipyards in
the world for many years to come
and that the wonderful facilities
here established will be eagerly
sought by builders who must sup
ply that demand These conditions
being true, it appears that capital
may be safely invested in modern
