The larest strategy to be used

vented this season by Louis Guisto, In
dian first baseman, now serving his
first year in the majors.
The big Italian has formula which
will send any moist ball artist hiking

ly proud of his achievement.
Bert Gala, of Washington, was
Guisto's first victim.
Gallia hau worked with the moisten-
ed ball only Part OF the inning when
his face twisted in anguish as he mois'

the inning proceeded Gallia's torment

They've trying to poison me" he
declared.
Henry smelled the ball cautiously
and turned up his nose in patrician dis
gust.
Henry called ION Connolly, who
was umpiring the game.
Connolly shifted the ball suspicious

Guisto," he decided.
Guisto admitted doctoring the ball
with garlic.

is my favorite dish and somehow it got

ance concerns, which carried about

French ports remained firm because OF
this disaster, whereas there were indi-
cations of a slight falling of Of rates
elsewhere.
Rates to the United Kingdom yester-
day remained at per cent. Rates to
Havre increased to 9 per cent, and
fat rate Of 8 per cent was asked on

S5O,OOO,OOO, Probable Loss,
Covers Less than ! Per
Cent of Exports
GOVERNMENT BUYING
NOT RESTRICTED
American Shippers Will
Conform to New Ruling
Automatically
From IN, Tribune Bureau

Washington, Feb. 24.-The British
restrictions on the importation OF GER
tain goods will not seriously reduce
American export trade to the Oniteu
Kingdom. While exports would fall
approximately s10O,OOO,OOO year If
the ban were rigidly applied to all
commodities named in the list, officials
of the United States Bureau OF Foreign
and Domestic Commerce explained TO-
day that restrictions do not affect the
importation of goods for the British
government.
AS the exports Of leather, boots ana
shoes, canned fish and hides are practi-
cally all for the governments account
the estimated loss to American trade
is reduced by at least s5o,oOo,ooo. At
most. therefore, the annual loss would
not exceed $5O000,o00, or less than
per cent of the total exports to all
countries in 1915.
With regard to the embargo placed
on a large number Of articles for ex-
port from Great Britain, officials OF the
Department of Commerce believe the
effect on the import trade of this coun-
try will be unimportant. Imports OF
luxuries will be curtailed, but officials
declare that the United States will be
able to get adequate supplies Of the
raw materials affected direct from the
countries of origin.
Most of the articles mentioned IN
the British embargo list do not enter
into the trade between the United
States and Great Britain.
Formal information on the embargo
will be handed to the State Department
as soon as the list Of forbidden i'm
ports is officially received by the Brit
ish Embassy. No comment or supple
mentary statement, it is understood,
will accompany the information.
Also, it is understood that no effort
will be made by Great Britain to in
spect or regulate the cargoes of British
ships leaving American ports, to pre-
vent the shipping of prohibited goods,
az commercial circles are expected to
take note of the order and to acqui-
esce without effort to violate 1t in any
manner. The order will go into effect
Automatically" it is believed.

London, Feb. 24.--It is too early to
calculate the results of the import re-
strictions announced by Premier Lloyd
George yesterday. Probably changes
will be made in the list, but 1t is ap-
parent that Briatin faces a great eco
nomic revolution.
In response to newspaper reports
of the impending increases in the
prices Of most commodities mentioned
in the list Of restricted importations
Baron Davenport, the food controller,
tonight issued the following offcisi
warning: -
"Baron Devonport desires TO repeat
the warning given by Premier Lioyo
George that no speculative buying or
cornering Of food supplies will be per-
mitted or tolerated. Should any such
attempts be made the food controller
will Immediately take the necesssr!

coffee restriction makes less difference,
for compared to tea, only a small
amount is used.
A complete list of the imports pro-
hibited discloses items showing that the
exnort business of q number Of Ameri-
can concerns will be reduced. Makers
of cameras, cheap watches, alarm
clocks, gas NANTES, typewrlters, OIL
mons magazines, books and canned
fruits will be affected.
English women must do without

French gloves, boots, silk petticoats,

weekly magazines have increased their
price.
Advertising rates in some cases have
ouadrupled, and advertisers are lucky
to get any space at all. The whole bill
board and placard system Of advertis.
ing is about to be revolutionized and
restricted.
The book market has been greatly
curtailed. Few cheap editions are is

and must be used sparingly if the gov

COAL AT $50 A TON DRIVES
ROME TO CHARCOAL BURNERS
Discarded System of Heating in
Earthen Jars Is Revived

Rome, Feb. 24-With coal selling at
$50 ton and the government gradually
taking over all existing supplies and
prohibiting its use by hotels and board
ing houses, and with gas and electricity
dear, or the supply reduced, Italian
households and business Offices have
had to revert TO the ancient method Of
burning finely powdered wood charcoal
dust in two-esllon earthen jar.
The jar is filled half full of char
coal dust. placed in the Spen air or
near an open window and some live
Goals Of. wood or charcoal put in the
centre of the dust. Slow combustion
is started and gradually the entire sur
face of the dust burns to ashes while
the smoldering fire reaches downward.
When, after twelve hours, no more
smoke or little gas is given off, the
heated jar is placed in the cold room
and let stay there for twenty-four
hours. after which a fresh layer of
dust is placed in the jar and the pro-
cess repeated. Before the war this
means Of heating had been abandoned
except by the very poor.

New British Blockade
Called "Privateering'

Berlin, Feb. "a (by wireless to Say
ville).-The new British regulations
fer tightening the naval blockade are
denounced as illegal by German news
Papers. The "Tageblatt" says that the
british order is "the reestablishment
of privateer practice against neutrals,"
and an unprecedented violation OF IN
transitional law. :,
ENGLAND is hunting for tonnage"
SAYS the "Vossische Zeitung." -Neu-
trails sailing the seas without calling
at Entente ports will be taken in, the
tonnage to be confscated or unjustly
tied up. II they call at Entente ports
they expose themselves to the same
danger. The result is to reestablish
privateering, which England regards as
her natural privilege"
Tho "Lokal Anzeiger" says England
is laying hands not only. on neutral
cargoes, but on neutral ships, having
established legal basis for condem-
ration of all ships and cargoes which
do not obey the orders.
