.RATIONS FOR NEUTRALS ONLY
U. S. TO HOLD EXPORTS TO BAR
EST NECESSITIES.
Object Is to Prevent Food Supplies
From America Reaching Germany
or Replace Neutrals' Exports.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Full informa-
ton concerning food conditions in the
northern European neutral countries
has been asked of the neutrals by the
United States in notes handed to their
diplomatic representative here.
The American governments plan

The intention of the United States

actual food deficiencies will be made
up from America and assurances will
be demanded that no American-produc-
ed food is re-exported or used to sup
plant food that is exported.
Dr. Fridtjof hansen, head of the
Norwegian mission, declared his coun-
try, facing starvation, was ready to
release a million tons Of shipping for
the privilege of importing food. Nor
way, DR.. Nansen said, needs sugar,
fats and grain and would guarantee
that none Of these things were sent
into Germany.
The Dutch government, too, is will
ling to exchange ships for food, on
condition that the ships were not sent
into the danger zone. Mr.. Van Rap
pard, the Dutch minister, said his gov
eminent was ready to devote $4,000
tons to the transportation of relief

NEARER TO FRANCE.
Entire National Guard Is Now in Fed
eral Service and State Guard
Ceases to Exist.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE final incre-
ment of the National Guard has been

With rapidly approaching trench
service in mind, the regiments will be
overhauled all the way down the line.

DISORGANIZED RUSSIA,

Once more, after all hopes had been
raised by a master drive that Russi;,
had found herself and would make
her power felt in no mean way in tho
remainder of the war. her offensive
has collapsed and the Slavs are back
ing out with haste that almost re-
sembles panic. Kerensky has ex-
erted himself to stem the tide, but
apparently with little effect. The Rus
slams have amply demonstrated that
moved by one common impulse. but
that impulse seems TO be only a spas
modic affair. They are not covards.
neither are they desirous of seeing
Germany triumph. but dlsintegrating
elements are present among the rank
and file that so far has been able to
nullify all the efforts of patriots to
secure n workable organization. Ev-
eryhody was glad when they throwed
over n monarchy that was only half
hcartedly prosecuting the war and
which was honcycombed with German
intrigue, but, as some predicted at the
time, they have not found out what to
do with their newly-aCquired liberty
and extremists have been made the
tools OF Russia's enemies to prevent
her from coming into her own 1t is
upon these Illogical elements in Rus
sia that German secret agents have
worked to prevent an efficien. re-
organization OF the nation.
1t is worth our while to note that
these same elements are present In a
smaller force in the United States. and
they are equally suceptible TO disloyal
suggestions from parties interested in
preventing Americas efficient MD to
the forces OF democracy in the war
They prattle about the blessinet OF uni
vcrsal peace and the folly of wa. and
than they are laboring for the enilght,
cnment of all humanity-all of which
are phrases to tickle the ear OF the
sincere idealist and make him forget
the duties of the immediate present.
should We he weak enough to listen TO
their counsels we could easily become
as much n farce in contesting for the
good of humanity as Russia now is
proving TO be. Let no patriot he di-
Vcrted from his plain duty by their
houeyed words. The influence of
AmericacS enemies Is behind their
plausible fallacies.

Clever Kansas Advertising
Scheme Fails to Get
Over" in Tulsa.

To h. Bee Guthrey, highway COM

merce, goes the distinction of discov-
ering the one person qualified to wear
the medal proclaiming Its bearer the

eall' who ever visited Tulsa. Mr..
Guthrcy claims the honor and his
| claim is substantiated by Secretary
Douglas OF the Chamber of Commerce
who assisted in bringing to light the
qualifications of this distinguished
person.
Yesterday afternoon, according to
the story told by the officials of the
Chamber OF Commerce, Commissioner
Guthrey accompanied to Secretary
Douglas office n man from Kansas.
1t was he who had the gall.
As the story goes. the visitor within
our gates sought the recognition OF
the Tulsa Chamber of Commerce in a
plan to mark all the highways or this
state "Hockaday's Trail or "TIocka-
days Route" this being the name Of
an automobile accessory house in
Wichita, Kan.
The plan rs outlined by the stran-
ger with the gall was this:
He would go into community
which had spent time and money in
the organization, construction and
maintaining of good roads. lie would
make collection of such sum of
money as he was able to procure. and
for this sum, which went to cover his
expenses, he would nail up along the
route large tin placards bearing the
name of Hockaday. the successful ac-
cessory shop in Wichita, and thereby
christen the road one Of the links in
the Hockaday chain of highways. The
fact that the routes already bore a
name did not appear TO cut much ice
with the official christener from Kan
sas Evidently his instructions. which
emanated from the office OF the auto
shop In Wichita, did not propose to
have a little thing like that stand in
the way.
Would the Chamber of Commerce
of Tulsa please sanction such n good
and noble work paying tribute to a
man who had done much for the
roads of Kansas? 1t would not.
