food administration officials believe,
will go far toward eliminating boarding

successive good harvests, has not risen

countries, and its growing reserve OF
specie has enabled the country to be-
come a creditor with a large surplus

According to preliminary statlstcs'
the exports Of merchandise from japan
during 1916 were valued at S562,o4Z,o 90 4,

Chief Justice of England
Says America Was Forced
Into the War
Allies Bound to Win
British War Cabinets Agent
Predicts Triumph Over
Autocracy

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Sept. H.
Americas entrance into the European
war was praised enthusiastically by
Viscount Reading, Lord Chief Justice
of England, who arrived to-day on an
American liner from British port. He
declared that the United States, dis
tinguished by its great love for peace.
had been forced into the conflict by
Germany to fight for the freedom of
the world, and that the material as
sistance America is giving to the cause
Is not greater than her moral stimulus
to the nations fighting for permanent
peace.
Lord Reading was here two years
ago as a member Of the British tnan-
cial commission which helped float the
100000, 900 Anglo-French loan. He
returns on a special mission in behalf
of the British War Cabinet on matters
pertaining to finance.
81 am very glad to find myself again
in the United States" said Lord Read
ing. "As | approached this country
the contrast of my last visit with the
present forced itself upon me. Two
years ago, when | was here upon a
mission 10 negotiate an Anglo-trench
loan, America was neutral. She was
then striving TO uphold, according TO
public law, the rights of neutrais and
non-combatants and TO protect women
ard children from outrage ard slaugh-
ter. The efforts OF your government
were then directed 20 the guarding OF
American and neutral interests and
the furthering OF the cause of justice
and humanity by reason and by moral
force.
Represents War Cabinet
"On this occasion | come on mis-
sion from the British War Cabinet, and
America is at war. America, nation
built upon the basis of liberty and dis
tinguished by its great love for peace,
has been forced by Germany to fight
for freedom and humanity and for the
peace of the world.
