A TIGHTER BLOCKADE
IS ENTENTE DECISION
Allied Conference Settles
Neutral Trade Question.

Washington. Oct. 17.-Neutral ma
tions. and particularly those in Europe.
must be prepared to share even greater
deprivations and burdens made neces-
sary by the war under the decision of
the recent allied conference at London.
The allies are determined to support
their armies in the field by cutting off.
as far as possible. all supplies for the
German army from neutral sources
through a tightening of the blockade.
Attention was called at the confer
ence of the necessity of preventing
Sweden from supplying Germany with
metals, and the general opinion was
that hereafter the neutrals should be
compelled to furnish the allies with
goods of their own production which
they cannot consume. in exchange for
supplies from the allies. Further. they
will be required to use their own ships
for this trade.
The extent to which the United
States will be influenced by the de-
cisions OF the London conference has
not been revealed. but that this gov
crnment is in accord with them is evi-
denced by the rigid restrictions placed
upon exports to the European neutrals
from this country.

INDUSTRIAL VALUE
AND DEPENDENCIES
Scheme COntemplates Imrne-
diate Examination of All
Subject to Call.

Washington, Oct. ia new plan
Tor applying the army selective draft
which would take first only men with
out dependents and of no particular
value to war industries and establish
war grades of dependency and indus
trial value from which future drafts
would be made strictly on the selective
basis has been worked out tentatively
by the provost marshal general office
and discussed with the president
The plan it was learned today was
submitted recently to conference of
civilians who directed exemption board
activities in a number of states and
received the endorsement of most of
them who are now discussing the pro-
posed plan with their state governors
Tabulate all Resistrants.
1t is proposed to formulate in each
local draft district a table of all regis
trants, placing each in n column de-
noting his dependents and industrial
value in the wars prosecution. For
instance. horizontal columns or classi-
fications would be based on depen-
dency Men with no dependents would
be placed in the first class, those with
dependent distant relatives in the sec
ond class, those with wives in the
third class those with a wife and one
child in the fourth and so on.
Vaius lndustriaiiy.
Similarly, the vertical columns might
represent certain industries, arranged
according to their respective merits as
war necessities. Industrial classes
under consideration in this connection
are farmers, shipsard employees, num-
ton workers, railway and tronsporta-
ton empolyes, miners. steel plant and
motor industry workmen and certain
other individual plants or industry
branches to be designated from time
to time by the president or the war
department as temporarily essential.
The latter classification might include
plants making military clothing. har-
ness, first aid materials, or profess
sions, such as chemists and other sci
cntific men more needed for war re-
search than to carry arms.
No class would be exempted as
such. but the valuable men would be
placed so that they would not be
called until the need for soldiers be-
came more urgent ana all the less eS-
sential classes were exhausted. This
plan, it is thought, will meet the presi-
dents objections to class exemptions.
This scheme contemplated immediate
examination of all men registered, but
this course depends on an appropria-
tion which cannot be obtained until
congress convenes in December. Ad
vocates of the plan point out, however
that it might be put into operation for
even a single increment of a million
men and could be extended down the
present liability lists as fast as funds
We're made available.
War department officials explain
that the program is far from complete
and warn that many changes may be
made. They say. however, that some
double classification system seems i'm
perative for future draft calls.
