EMBARGO ORDER IS
ISSUED BY WILSON
NOTICE GIVEN THAT UNITED
STATES HAS TAKEN CONTROL
OF BASIC COMMODITIES.
Governments Policy viii Be, First to
Give Consideration to American
Needs and, Next, to Meet Re-
quirements of Allies.

Washington. = Government control
of American exports, authorized in a
provision of the espionage act, was
ordered put into operation July 10 by
President Wilson, with the issuance
of a proclamation, on July s, requir-
ing the licensing of shipments to all
countries of the most important ex
port commodities.
In "a statement accompanying the
proclamation the president declared
the governments policy will be first
TO give consideration ~ american
needs; next, to meet as far as pos
sible the requirements of the allies,
and, lastly, to supply the neutral
countries wherever practicable. 1t is
made clear that every effort will be
made to see that no supplies reach
the central powers.
The commodities named in the list
put under control are coal, coke, fuel
oils. kerosense and gasoline, includ-
ing bunkers; food grains, flour and
meal, fodder and feeds, meats and
fats pig iron, steel billets, ship
plates and structural shapes, scrap
iron and and scrap steel; ferro-man-
ganese, fertilizers arms, ammunition
and explosives.
The inclusion of foodstuffs in the
proclamation lends color to state
ments that the administration is con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of a complete
embargo for sixty days on all food
shipments to give the country time
to ascertain the amount of its sup
plies and to give allied and neutral
countries an opportunity to present a
full program of their requirements.
The president in his statement said
the government was trying first to
amelorate present food conditions
and conditions that are expected to
arise between now and the next har-
vest. Many officials, alarmed at the
wheat shortage and the heavy drain
the allies and neutrals are making on
every kind of American food supplies,
are urging an immediate embargo on
food shipments.
Through control of coal and fuels
the government intends to take a
firm grasp on shipping. An arrange
meht under negotiation will give the
American and British governments
control of not only all allied tonnage
but of neutral vessels as well. Ships
now on runs not regarded as neces-
sary to a successful conduct of the
war will be forced into trades consid-
cred more essential and vessels now
held in port through fear of subma-
rine attack will be required to go in
to service. -
Control of iron and steel was made
necessary by war demands on the
iron apl steel industries. A shortage
of ste, in this country is threatened
because of the large amount that is
being diverted to munitions manu-
facturers, the construction of the
governments mercantile fleet.
Japan's heavy purchase of steel
plates for merchant shipbuliding
made necessary that plates be put I'M
der control. AT the same time, this
action gives the government weapon
with which to force Japanese tonnage
into the transatlantic trades.

That Passed by House-Points
of Difference.

The new army draft bill is now ready
for consideration by the conferees. the
Senate having substituted it's bill for
the measure passed by the House. There
are but three essential points of diff
ference between the House and Senate: /:
first. the age limit of conscripts. the
Senate fixing it between the ages of
twenty-one and twenty-seven and the
House twentyone and forty; second,
the Senate authorization for Col. Roose-
Welt to raise four infantry divisions of
volunteer troops for foreign service,
and the Senates provision as to prohi-
bition, both of which the House re-
jected.
The bill probably will not go into
conference, however. until the emer-
gency army appropriation bill has
been completed by the conferees, which
will be toward the end of the week
Before substituting It's bill for the
House measure the Senate voted down.
6S to 4, Senator La Follette's PROPOSE
ton to submit the selective draft to a
referendum of the people. 1t also re-
jected, without division, an amendment
offered by Senator Gronna, forbidding
the manufacture of grain into intoxi-
cants. The Senate likewise defeated.
by a vote of 81 to II. Senator Nc
Cumber's amendment. exempting those
whose religious belief is opposed to war
fare or military service,
