is Uncle Sans Mes
sage to Neutral Nations
The Kaiser is Already
Feeling the Pinch Of the
"Ruthlessness" Of Ameri-
W. -
By HIN. Rickey..

Washington, D. c., July 13.-Uncle'
Sans grip is Tightening around h
Kaiser's throat.
Your uncle is about to demonstrate
that there is more than n kind Of
ruthlessness.
The particular kind Of ruthlessness
with which he is going to answer the
Kaiser's bloody kind Is expressed by
the rather harmless sounding word
"embargo."
President Wilson has proclaimed to
the world that after July 16 M COM
modify that is essential to the making
of war may be shipped from this
country to any other country without
license.
This means that no licenses
will be granted for the export of
q ton Of food or material that
can by any possibility find its way
to Germany.
First the necessities of the people
Of the United States will be consid-
cred, next the requirements of our
allies. If there is anything left, the
neutral nations will be allowed to
purchase it, but only in such guam
titles as are absolutely necessary for
their w use.
1t will be up to the neutrals to
prove what their necessities are and
to give such garantees as will satisfy
the President that there will be no
transhipment to Germany.
The Presidents embargo proclama-
ton is by far the most important ac-
ton this. government has taken since
it declared var against Germany.
Our military preparations r of
course vital but they cannot possibly
be effective for many months.
The embargo hits Germany now,
and hits her in her most vulnerable
spot-her stomach.
There is not the slightest doubt that
and other materials have been leaking
into Germany from the United States
through the neutral countries contigu-
GUS to Germany.
So long as this continued the effort
to bring Germany to her knees by
economic pressure was bound to fail.
Yet the embargo policy involved
such a violent change in our attitude
as to the rights of neutrals that we
have adopted 1t only as a last restort.
That we have been forced to adopt
it and virtually say to the neutral ma
tons, Eight with us or eat with Ger
many" Is due in great measure to the
cowardice and cupidity OF the neut-
rails themselves.
Germany has stood and is standing
over them with the threat Of the
mailed fist IL they do not help feed
her. And at the same time she
Threatens, she tempts with unheard-

COAL SHORTAGE
OF NORTHWEST
BIG QUESTION
Senator Kellogg Takes it up
With National Council
of Defense.

Washington, July 14.-At the urg-
emit request of Governor Burnquist, Of
Minnesota, Senator Kellogg has taken
steps which may help relieve the coal
shortage in the northwest.
Senator Kellogg was in conference
transportation committee Of the
Council Of National Defense, consid-
ering methods of, obtaining cars to
haul coal to the northwest. He will
consult members Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to enlist that
body's support.
Assurance was given by Mr.. Will
lard that the railroads will make ev-
cry possible concession in helping
to overcome the threatened fuel
famine.
100000 Tons Short
The Northwest has received 2.00O,-
900 tons less coal SO far this season
than 1t had received at the corre-
spending time last year Lake ship
ping opened a month later than last
year and the railroads are inclined
to blame, this for the present short
age.
It is probable that q system OF dis
tribution will have to be worked our
to meet the situation. While the
Railroads are hauling more coal than
q year ago, q much larger percentage
of it is being used for factories.
Senator Kellogg has been informed
that the Minnesota Public Safety
Commission is receiving scores Of
pleas for relief from the coal short
age. He said he will keep pounding
away at government officials and the
Council Of National Defense until he
gets results.
Senator Kellogg has made a.close
study Of the coal situation as q mem.

mittee and in connection with the
