EXPORT EMBARGO
LIKELYTO Be MADE
.ABSOLUTE6OD DAYS

Definite Predictions of an absolute
embargo on exports, to hold for sixty
days, are made today following the
Presidents proclamation on food and
war materials.
Beginning July Is, all exports will
be handled by license to prevent ne
cessities reaching the central empires
through neutral countries. Even the
supplies needed by Great Britain,
France, and our other allies also Will
be handled by license. II is this pro-
vision that foreshadows the absolute
embargo, It was said today.
Chaotic conditions in the markets,
chaotic conditions in the shipping
world. and more or less chaos in
Washington, because the Administra-
tion and Congress are having diffi-
Guilty in acting together on food and
supplies. all point to the absolute en-
barge.
Gives Congress Time.
To marshal all resources and to OBJ
tain time to concentrate all American
shipping on American shores, proba-
bly, sixty days will be needed, It was
estimated. This will give Congress
time to decide finally what It wishes
to DO with the Presidents food con-
troll program. and give Mr.. Hoover
and the food administration time to
organize fully.
American shipping. now more or
less scattered. can be brought back to
American ports and put in readiness
for the gigantic task Of transporting
troops and supplies to Europe.
Secretary Redfeld's warning to
shippers has paved the way for this
concentration of vessels.
1t is believed that after the Presi-
dents proclamation takes effect on
July Is only such supplies as the
allies can call for and deliver to their
own shores will be licensed for sx-
port.
President Ii Retieent.
President Wilson has taken few, II
any, Of his advisers into his conf
dence on this point, or on the ques-
ton Of an absolute embargo for sixty
days.
Secretary Redfeld, as executive Of
1hcer OF the exports council, has been
preparing for the big task ahead, ana
has the Department OF Commerce re-
sources mobilized to handle IT.
He will have direct control over the
following products: Coal, coke. fuel
oils, kerosene, gasolene, including
bunkers, food grains, hours. meal,
fodder. feeds, meat, fats, pig iron.
steel billets, ship plates, structural
shapes, scrap iron and steel, ferro-
manganese, fertilizers, arms, ammu-
milton, and explosives.
None of those may pass an Ameri-
ran port without license, even IL or
dered and contracted for prior to the
Issuance of the proclamation.
Expect NeutrnIs' Protest.
The White House and the State De-
partment are prepared for a mild
storm Of protest from such neutrsIs
as Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and
Holland.
The embargo may play havoc with
the food situations in these countries,
which have, 1t is known, been ship
ping all the food they could muster
into Germany at sky-high prices. They
had plenty of warning. however, and
the Administration believes their
protests will be more or less perfume
tory.
President Wilson has made It plain
time and again that the United States
IS not striking at the neutrals, but at
the central epires-

GERMANY FACES
SHORT RAT|ONS IN
40 PER CENTCROP

LONDON, July e.-Not over 40 per
cent of the normal agricultural crop
will be harvested in Germany this
year. according to advices received
by the British foreign office. This es-
innate, the lowest made thus far, is
believed to be reasonably accurate
because the allied governments have
taken great pains to get Information
about crop conditions.
Hit By Embargo.
Germany enters the new crop year
with less than half the usual peace
rations TO live on, with its surplus
stocks exhausted. and facing an ef-
ficient blockade that has cut off the
larger part of the food importations.
Her normal yield is only three-quar-
tiers of her food requirements. Re
eeipts from neutral nations are GER
tain TO be further restricted by the
American embargo.
The Danish government announces
that beginning September 1 a system
attic program will be adopted reduc-
ing the live stock OF the country with
the purpose Of consuming one-half
during the coming year.

All the countries are adopting the
most extreme measures to conserve
