every country in the world, allied, neu-
trail and enemy, as countries to which
the embargoed commodities may not
be shipped.
But primarily the embargo was IS

to neutrals adjacent to Germany. the
President is determined that no more
sustenance shall reach enemies
through these mediums.
The proclamation does not mean
that none of the commodities named
may be exported. They may be ex'
ported only in such quantities as;
/. To relieve the stringency and
high prices in this country.
2. To effectually prevent the neu'
trails sending any possible surplus into
Germany, and,
g. To provide, so far as possible, an
equable distribution OF the fuel ana
iron supply among the nations OF the

DENYING FIGURES.

The payment is not all in life blood thmeh that is the most precious Mere is the reason why patriotism should be stirred and that this terrible world conflict shoald be ended the first day possible
 The talk of billions merely dazzle ns. and we don't comprehend We know that no govenment as demc. cratic as ours wants heavy taxation We know there is great necessity where cur president and our congress yields 10 such demands
 When they tell us that the per capita war tax on every individual in she nation will be s23 we begin 10 comprehend When they tell us that that present generation will not pay all of this war cost we further com prehend It is big busneg; indeed
 The U-boat menace must be met in some way and the German war lust must be conquered in some way. T. is not alone ourselves that are facine burdens. The Germans. when con- quered will be a ruined people fir dczen generations. The poor Aus trlan will never survive the cost The Turks will be eliminated forever ex- cept as slaves to their part in few years of war lust
 America can pay Hardship must be endured to live in peace when there is spirit of conquest and spirit Of over bearing We will meet our part of the war debt with men and with money, and we believe that the government is right in stepping deep into the game in order that it may all be he sooner terminated.
