COMES TO VOTE IN SENATE AT
ONCE STRIPPED OF ALL FEA-
TUREs OBJECTIONABLE TO
WILSON,.
MEASURE TO EXECUTIVE
FRIDAY FOR SIGNATURE
Conference Report Is Debated and
Agreement for Vote Made-NeW
Opposition Develops at Session,
But Result Is Not Thought
to Be in Doubt.

Washington, Aug. 8-Stripped OF
practically all features Objectionable
to President Wilson-the provisions
for committee OF war expenditure
and the three-member food control
board being the chief ones-the con-
ference report of the administration
food bill will be voted upon by agree
ment late today by the Senate.
No one in either administration or
congressional circles has the slight
est doubt but that the bill would be
accepted in it's present form. The
measure will be sent to the President
Friday for his signature.
This means that President Wilson
has won complete victory over the
administration opponents in Congress,
as the House last Friday took favor
able action on the bill as reported by
the conferees.
New Oppositior Develops.
Despite the realization that Presi-
dent Wilson has defeated In practic-
ally every particular those who are
fighting him, opposition to the bill de-
veloped anew among certain senators.
Senator Wadsworth of New York,
speaking for the retention in the bill
the section for committee on war
expenditures, declared this Is a peo-
pies war, and the people should not
be kept in the dark"
Seeking to dam the oratory directed
against the bill, John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi stood out alone. He
made speech saying this was no
time for craftsmanship on the part Of
"a little group of men on each side"
of the chamber.

Body Has Undertaken inquiries to Do

Supplies Needed for War Uses.

Washington. Aug. 8.-President Will

EXTENSION OF EMBARGO
FOR WAR BEIMG,PLAMNED
Cotton, Lumber and Sugar Are Likely
to Be Put Under Export Contro!
by President.

Washington, Aug a-Three impen
tant ommodities-cotton, lumber and
sugar probably will be put under ex-
port control by President Wilson. The
exports council. 1t Is understood, al
ready has recommended that they be
added to the list of goods for whose
shipment out Of the country license
Is required.
Goods that now cannot be exported
without license include foods, food
stuffs, iron, steel and explosives. By
adding cotton, lumber and sugar to
these the government will extend its
control to cover the most important
of its export materials.
Members of the exports council are
particularly DESTROYS that the ship
ment of cotton be controlled. This
commodity, of which Germany Is in
desperate need, has gone to the Euro.
pean neutral countries in large quanti-
ties within the last three years. Re-
ports that the United States would
embargo coal shipments to Canada
were denied officially.
Government coal experts say the
United States is producing enough
coal for both countries and that the
problem Is solely one Of equitable dis.
tribution.
