EMBARGO PROSPECTS
 AROUSE NEU7RALS
Swedish Crops Short, Fac tories CT osed, Cost of
 Living Scars.

Stockholm, July 6.-Washington de- spatches of the last few days, fore casting the sharpest limitation or possible dicontinuance of all exports to neutrals, caused anxiety in gov ernment circles and among the people. The situation is already grave and the prospect pictured by news from America renders it still more dis quieting.~
 Crops are likely to be below the average. Manufactories in various lines are closed for lack of material Others cannot continue production much longer. Leather is scarce and so dear that pair of ordinary shoes cost from ten to twelve dollars. Auto mobile tires bring $500 apiece. The cost of living is steadily increasing The stocks of coffee in the kingdom will be exhausted in a month.
 The government already has taken raordinary measures to deal with the extensive unemployment which is considered inevitable if the war lasts another winter, and 1t becomes impos- sible to secure needed commodities.
 In view of the, assertion in some quarters that imports are not intended solely for Swedish consumption, the Associated Press asked Herr E. B. Trolle, formerly minister of foreign affairs and now president: of the gov ernment war trade commission, for 8 statement He said:
 Official statistics of Sweden's inn portations for 1916, which are now nearly complete, demonstrate con- clusively the absolute erroneousness of assertions that We are bringing. in American products for the purpose of passing them on to the Central Powers. s.-' ..r..9..
 'In several instances our total im- portations from America show a de- cided decrease compared with 13, the last normal year, and in many in stances where our imports from the United States increased this increase feil considerably short of making good the deficit caused by the decrease or total discontinuance of our pre-war importations, from belligerent coun- tries.
 "A Paris paper recently declared that exports to Scandinavia and Swift zerland. rose from s40,0oo,000 in 1913 to $S3,000,OOO in 1916. Leading Am erican papers have published similar statistics and asserted that the increase was largely due to the fact that Sweden had been re-exporting to Germany. This assertion will not stand the test of examination"

 CARDINALS LETTER
Dr. Zimmerman Says Objection Has Been Tiled at Rome to Mer-
 cier's Pastoral.

Copenhagen, July 6.-Dr Alfred Zimmerman secretary of foreign af- fairs, announced to committee of the Reichstag, according to news reaching here, that representations have been made to the Vatican re- garding the pastoral letter of Cardinal Mercier wherein he spoke in forcible terms of Germanys crimes and out rages in Belgium. The letter was published in the French press and was the subject of angry comment by Ger man newspapers. }[H
 A despatch from Dresden says the Saxon Diet, which, on Tuesday, warned the government of a disap- pearance of the sentiment of loyalty toward the king and also of a com ing upheaval unless the government mended it's ways, has now broken openly with the government. This ac- tion is consequence of the refusal of Count Won Vitzchum d'Eckastadt, pre- mier of Saxony, to authorize the Diet committee on constitutional reforms to continue it's labors during recess. The Diet refused to give the necessary auth orization to settle fuel problems not later than August. This will en- able the constitutional committee to resume work. as
 The steering committee of the Reichs stag, accordisg to a despatch re- ceived here, has decided to ternli- nate the midsummer session by. the middle of next week if possible and adjourn until the end of October.

Vote, After All Night Session,
 Stands 118 to 55
ALL OPPOSITION DEFEATED
Sir Wilfred Laurier Loses in Effort to Refer Project to People, for Pop ular Vote-English Speaking Lib- erals Rally to Premier.

Ottawa, July 6.-The Canadian house of commons early today adopt ed the resolution offered by Premier Borden, passing to second reading the bill for compulsory military service. Exciting scenes marked the taking of the vote, which stood 118 for con- scription and 55 against
 The vote gave the government about 20 more than it usually polls on important questions. This was the result of a considera ble number of English-speaking liberals breaking away from the leadership of Sir Will fred Laurier and joining with Premier Borden in support of conscription.
 Before the bill was sanctioned Sir Wilfred Laurier's proposal that an opinion of the people on conscription should be tested by a referendum was defeated by a majority of 49.
 The attendance of mem bers of the house was the largest that had been seen in parliament for many years. The galleries were filled with specta- tors throughout the night and when the proceedings closed at sunrise. A majority of the spectators were sol- diers, returned from Europe, and women.
 A resolution presented by French nationalists from the province of Quebec that the conscription bill should be killed by the adoption of g. six months postponenent was de- feated by the large majority of 16e. Only nine nationalist votes were cast for the resolution and both the gov- ernment and opposition to conscrip- tion voted against this proposal.
 An amendment aimed to supply more adequate provision for depen- dents of men at the front was de- feated, 115 to 55
 Premier Borden ruled that this amendment was dilatory and that he would refuse to allow 1t to interfere with the second reading

Mother Jones - Incites the Strikers to Sabotage and Cars Are Smashed -Sol- diers Reach Globe, Ariz.


 Bloomington, H., July 6.-Nine companies of Illinois National Guards men, comprising about 1,40O men, were ordered to this city early today to restore order following a night of r1ot1ng caused by the strike of em- ployes of the Bloomington and .Nor- nal Railway and Light Co:
 The strike has been in progress for several weeks and had been conducted in an orderly manner until last night. when Mother" Jones, labor advocate. delivered speech to strikers and sympathizers.

FIREMAN FOR ARMY
New Britain Asked to Furnish One Permanent Man for Cantonment at Aver, Mass.-Wm Do So.

Permanent Man for Cantonment at
 Aver, Mass.-WM Do So.
 The National Board Of Fire Insur- ance Underwriters, at an informal ses- sion of the fire commissioners last evening, asked the City of New Britain to furnish one permanent fireman for active service at the United States army cantonment at Aver, Mass. It is the plan of the government to establish an efficient fire department at this army cantonment and other cities throughout New England are being asked to furnish a fireman for its personnel Such a fireman would be considered in the federal service and would be paid by the govern ment-
 Chairman Alfred E.. Magnel1 of the fire board stated today that New Brit ain stands ready to furnish a fireman for service at this camp whenever called upon to do so. Mayor G. A. Quigley is also in favor.
 The fire insurance underwriters, who have been conducting a thorough investigation into the fire hazards of this city, have completed their work and their official report will be conn., pleted in about three months. The in- surance men make no secret of the fact their report will be most critical and New Britain will be subjected to much censure for lack of fire pre- vention Among other things, their report will criticise the system which permits the burning of waste papers and rubbish in yards and alleys. The insurance men advocate having these waste matters collected regularly as garbage is collected.

Mrs. R. J. Vance received today the first letter from her son, Robert c. Vance, attached to the Red Cross Ambulance Corps in France. since he sailed several weeks ago. It gives
 many Interesting details of the pas- sage and passengers on the trip across the water. The name of the boat and the names of it's passengers must necessarily be omitted but an account of a battle with a submarine on the way across might prove 1n- teresting.
 'sI was below when the firing start ed," reads the letter. "but 1t did not take me long to get to my boat post. There was a big sub lying awash square1y broadside to us and the gunners were cracking at it as it submerged. Suddenly one of the shells exploded, which usually means that a mark has been found, and the submarine was gone. Meanwhile we were zigzagging around through the water at the maximum speed of the boat. The passengers cheered wildly as the supposed hit was scored. We passed barrel later i'm the day and the gunners blew that to pieces talk ing no chances. We were relieved to find that 1t was only barrel. The passengers acted admirably in the crisis, there being no false moves on the part of anyone. Most of them slept on deck in the danger zone."

DATE OF DRAFT IS
 STILL UNSOLICITED
Local and District Exemption Boards Not Prepared to Assume Labors
 Rushing Aver Camp.

Washington, July 6.-Secretary Baker and Provost Marshal General Crowder today were completing the final details of the method to be employed in selecting registrants fog the new national army, but the date of the drawings has not yet been an. nounced. Complete organization of every local and district exemption board is necessary before the draft machinery can begin to operate. The drawings will be in Washington and indications points to the use of num- bers instead of names in making se- lections.
 As there will be exemptions among the drafted before the first increment of 625.OO0 men can actually be as- sembled, necessarily more than that number of names will be drafted on the first operation. It is probable that as many as a million or two million names might be drawn and from them exemptions will be made. Then the first army of '25,0oO men will be formed. Other troops will be drawn from the remainder until it is de- cided to raise another increment.
