President Opposes
Check on Members
Of Defence Council
Against Amendment Forbidding
Advisers to Sell Products
TO Government

Washington, Julye5-President Will
son has thrown his influence against a
provision Of the food bill which, II IS
said, practically would. disrupt the
great machinery Of the Council Of Ma
tional Defence. The provision in ques-
ton would forbid any person connected
with the government from selling 10 II
anything in which he has an interest.
Inasmuch as the greatest business
interests of the country are represent
ed on the advisory committees or the
council. the enactment OF the provision,
the President thinks. would disrupt all
the machinery set up for an efficient,
economical conduct of the war by mar
shalling the country's best brains aud
resources.
President Wilson has written letter
70 Senator Mcclellan. author OF the
amendment. saying such legislation
would be calamity He pointed out
that business men on the committees
have not the power 70 set the prices on
commodities sold 10 the government,
whether or not they are interested IN
them. All sorts of safeguards, the
President stated. have been set up 20
prevent advantage being taken OF the
government.
The Administration is much dis
turbed by the continued attacks in
Congress on the advisory committee
and the Defence Council because Off
cials believe II has done as much as
any other agency TO put the nation in
the position of preparedness in which
IL now stands
Business men on some OF the more
important, committees have been seri-
cusly disturbed by the threatened diff
fculty between Secretary Baker and
Secretary Lane over the price of coal
Members Of the munitions committee
we're said to-day 10 have informed Sec
lotary Baker that the only successful
way to deal with munition makers was
by conference and cooperation
Officials hope that the President
letter will prevent the adoption of leg
iSiation that probably would force
many business men Off these commit.
tees, and hope also that his cordial
Endorsement Of them will tighten tn,
criticism at the Capitol and inspire tn,
business men themselves 10 continue
their cooperation with the government

Denmark Accuses u. S.
OF Prosecuting Neutrals

Copenhagen, July The "Ekstra-
bladet" and the government organ.
"Politiken." commenting on the propos-
ais TO limit supplies to Scandinavia
and Holland. complain that the Entente
powers. with America at the head, lack
appreciation OF the difficult position Of
small neutrsls. and assert proposed
measures Of the great powers fighting
N the name of liberty, justice and civ
iiization are calculated TO crush these
small states. whose sole desire Is 70
maintain true neutrality toward both
camps.
Judging from these newspaper re-
ports. the situation is regarded as des-
perate. Neutrality. which time and
again has been recognized by previous
belligerents, no longer suffices. and
with the entry Of America into the war,
hOstilities, the "Politiken" says. opened
against the unfortunate small states.
The paper says America seems 70 lack
the most elementary appreciation of
Denmark's difficulties
Il says that articles from influential
American papers indicate the United
States intends 20 force Denmark either
20 join Germany and starve or join the
Entente and share the fate of Belgium.
The American policy, which from the
outbreak of the war until the breach
with Germany was never neutral. the
paper continues. but English, now has
become American that is 10 say, still
more ruthless toward neutrals than
was the English. All that Norway
Sweden. Denmark and Holland demand
is the permission 10 remain neutral
ard avoid starvation. Even this mod
est desire seems IN danger of becom-
ing illusory.

Norway's Food Supply
Is More Plentiful Now

An Atlantic Port. July 7. The food
situation in Norway is considerably i'm
proved. according 20 passengers arriv-
ing yesterday on a scandinavian liner.
During the last four weeks several i'm
portant consigrments Of grain and flour
have arrived at Bergen, and have been
distributed by the central food COM
mittee.
Passengers said the greatest suffer
ing occurred in the mountainous dis
trictS. where on account of the heavy
rains and late spring the majority OF
the crops were backward.
Another former source Of food supply
has been practically cut of Owing to
the many recent naval engagements in
the North Sea the fish have been driven
far off shore, and have abandoned many
of their former Matching grounds.

Urge 6O.Day Embargo
To Check Up Supplies

Washington, July Recent heavy
purchases of American foodstufs by
foreign countries, both Allied and neu-
trail, were considered to-day by the Ex-
ports Council. Some members, it is
understood. favor a complete embargo
on food shipments for period of sixty
days, to give the United States time TO
make a survey of its supplies and to
permit foreign governments 20 give
definite estimate of their requirements.
Responsibility for the recent rise IN
corn prices and the sympathetic rise IN
the price of wheat is laid TO heavy neu-
trail purchases. Reports that this gov
ornment would restrict wheat ship
ments as one Of its first moves IN put
ting the export control act into opera

turn to corn, with a consequent sharp

The first Presidential proclamation
putting certain commodities under eN-
port control is expected TO be signed
next week. IL is understood that coal
and probably all foodstuifs viii be
named as among the first commodities
on which licenses will be required Tor

Our NsIahbor, return.

Editor Sniff and wife Of the
Newscroft returned Tuesday eve
ming from their summer jaunt
through the south. They trav-
eled some 1900 miles in the eight
days of their trip, visiting at Kan
sas City, Parsons, Houston, Gal
weston, then going on southwest
800 miles further to the newly
opened, semi tropical citrous
country in the lower Rio Grande
valley, said to produce the finest
lcitrous fruits of any known coun-
try. They report a fearful
drought over all the south, which,
however, does not affect that IA
nous lower Rio Grande valley, as
it has matchless system of irri-
cation. They report cooler wea-
ther there than here, and a coun-
try of greater possibilities than
even the choicest spots in Cali
fornia.

: crystel palace was originally built
IA Hyde park for the great exhibition
of 1851, being afterward removed to
it's; present site and regretted AT
the first state opening of the palace by
Queen Victoria it was urged that the
usual artillery salute should not be
fred tile reason given being that the
concussion would SILVER the glass roof
and the company assembled below, in
Guiding her majesty, would be cut into
mincemeat. Dire were the predictions
of the scaremongers when the design
for the palace was made public. The
first gale, they said, would inevitably
wreck 1t, while the heat engendered by
the sun pouring its rays upon the
domed glass roof would be so terrific
that no human being could withstand
it. Consequently If they escaped an
avalanche Of glass they would be roast
ed to death inside the case.
