EMBARGO is TO BE STRICT
President Determined That Supplies
of Food Shall Not Go through
to the German Army.

Washington, July 24.-The president
and his advisers on the exports coun-
ell have finally decided that no more
sustenance must get to Germany to
keep German armies in the field.
; Within very short time the ex-
ports control will develop into strict
embargo on food products and military
material for neutrals adjacent to Ger
many. The exports council has quiet
iy informed shippers and exporters
that they must prepare for this.
-. The president has become convinced
that this will not be measure aimed
at the German people. It has been
proven to him that the large amount
of fats which seeped into Germany
through Holland and Scandinavia
last year, a fat ration for 100000,
went to the troops In the field first.
The civil population got little of it.

DANIELS TELLS OF DISPATCH
Secretary Explains How Famous Story
of Submarine Attack on Trans
ports Was Written.

Washington, July "a. - Secretary
Daniels explained the alleged "elabora-
ton" of Admiral Cleaves' report on the
submarine attack against the Persh1ng
transports. 1t is contained in letter
to Senator Tillman, in response to
the latter's inquiry.
An overpowering sense of joy in both
war and navy departments upon the
arrival of the troops, says Secretary
Daniels, dictated the phraseology OF
the announcement of their encounter.
The exact dispatch of Admiral
Cleaves was not made public, the Sec
rotary says, because it came in code.
Mr.. Daniels assumes entire respon-
sibiIity for the version of the incident
which reached the public. He refers to
the story, coming from the Creel bu-
reau and generally supposed to have
been the product of the Creel commit
tee, as "the statement which l gave to
the public"

ELEVEN DIE IN RAID
GERMAN AIRPLANES SCATTER
DEATH AND DESTRUCTION ON
ENGLAND'S EAST COAST.
ONE TEUTON PLANE WRECKED
British Aircraft Said to Have Been
Handicapped by Low Visibility,
Though Defense Is Shown
to Have Been Improved.

London, July 24.-Another daylight
raid, carried out over the east coast
of England Sunday morning, resulted
In the repulse of about 20 German
airplanes, after they had dropped a
number of bombs over Felixstowe and
Harwick, killing IL persons and in
juring 27.
An alram was sounded in London,
but before the Germans could reach
any point near the city they were
heavily attacked by defending squad
rOns of aircraft, which speedily caused
them to change their minds and beat
q haSty retreat.
One German machine was brought
down over the channel.
British planes pursued the Germans
well out to sea, fighting vigorously all
the time, but handicapped by the low
visibility. Reports of heavy firing re-
ceived from various quarters indicates
that the authorities have made consid-
cradle improvement in the defense
since the last raid over London.

IDEA JUST SUITED DR.. HALE
Famous Minister Declares That He
Had Always Wanted His Church
Called "The Exeter Club"

The sexton of Edward Everett Hale's
church suffered from that convenient
form of deafness that prevented
man from hearing what he does not
wish to hear and enables him to hear
what he does wish to hear. Occa-
sionally, when sweeping the sidewalk
in front of the church, some stranger
would ask him for information, and
his usual answer was wave of the
hand. Sim totally deaf, totally deaf.
You will have to ask someone in the
church."
1t often happened that Doctor Hale.
in the midst Of busy day, would ind
the luncheon hour at hand and an
important appointment still unmet.
1t was his custom to invite his caller
into his study, and ask the janitreSa
to make an oyster stew. The sexton
resented Doctor Hale's informality.
The time came for a new sign to be
placed on the front of the church, and
Doctor Hale and the assistant pastor
were standing in the vestry aisle dis
cussing just what the wording Of 1t
should be- To their surprise the con-
versation was suddenly interrupted by
the deaf sexton who stood far enough
away to make doubtful the ability OF
a normal persons Overhearing what
had been said. "I'll tell you what to
put on that sign!" he exclaimed.
"sCome In! Everybody welcome
Meals served at all hours Of the day
and night
''All right" said Doctor Hale quick.
". "That's what we will do. I've al.
ways wanted to cali the church The

AGAINST WAR BOARD
PRESIDENT OPPOSED TO JOINT
RESPONSIBILITY OF CONGRESS
IN CONDUCT OF WAR.
POINTS TO LlNcoLNs CASE
Asserts Action Would Make His Task
Impossible and Reflect on His Ad-
n1inistration of Rostilities-
owen Father of Amendment

Washington, July 25.-The president
hit hard at congress effort to make it.
self jointly responsible with him for
the conduct of the war.
In letter to Representative Lever,
father of the food control bill, the
president asks elimination of the
owen amendment, which created a
joint congressional committee to SUI
pervise the financial conduct of the
war.
II could only interpret its final
adoption" the president wrote, "aS
arising from a lack of confidence in
myself" The letter reads:
81 am very much obliged to you for
your thoughtful courtesy in stating to
me the circumstances of the present
action on the food administration bill,
and I am particularly obliged to you
for calling my attention to section 70.
IT deem it my duty to express my
opinion about that section and it's eff
feet upon the whole administration Of
the war very frankly indeed, since the
public interest manifestly demands
that do so.
ssSection % is not only entirely for
eign to the subject matter of the food
administration bill in which it is In
corporated, but would, if enacted into
law, render my task of conducting the
war practically impossible.
II cannot believe that those who
proposed this section scrutinized 1t
with care or analysed the effects which
it's operation would necessarily have.
"The constant supervision of execu-
tive action which it contemplates
would amount to nothing less than an
assumption on the part of the govern
ing body of the executive work of the
administration.
'There is a very Ominous precedent
in our history which shows how such
supervision will operate. | refer to
the committee on the conduct Of the
war constituted by congress during the
administration of Mr.. Lincoln. 1t was
the cause of constant and distressing
harassment and rendered Mr.. LincOln'S
task all but impossible.
II am not, beg you to believe, in
any way questioning what might be
the motives or the purpose of the
members Of such committee; / am
ready to assume that they would wish
to cooperate in the most patriotic
spirit, but cooperation of the kind is
not practicable in the circumstances.
II sincerely hope that upon the re
consideration of this matter both
houses of congress will see that nay
objections rest upon indisputable
grounds and that l could only inter
pref the final adoption of section %
as arising from lack of confidence in
myself WOODROW WILSON,"
The letter was written in response
to request from Mr.. Lever. The
amendment was put into the bill at
the last minute Saturday afternoon.
It was introduced by Senator Owen of
Oklahoma, Democrat, but one who
has from time to time been opposed
to the administration.

pital in Paris. II has allied with itself
the work of the American Surgical
Dressing Committee, which distributed
in France, in July, 7S2,s49 dressings
among 435 hospitals.
The effort has been in accordance
with tho expressed views Of the Presi-
dent of the United States and Of the
civic and military authorities Of France
to coordinate along helpful lines al!
relief work being done in France and
America. Tho first and supreme object
of the task is to care for our own army
and navy. Toward this end the Red
Cross is establishing field canteons,
which it will provide for every corps OF
the French army as we'll as for the
American army. There are now large
reception camps near the coast where
United States soldiers are received.
Rest Stations Established
Along the route to the firing line the
Red Cross has established infrmaries
and rest stations. At railway stations
canteens are being established where
our soldiers may find rest and refresh
ment, Baths, food, games and other
comforts will be available. When
American soldiers start for France the
men receive comfort kits. Christmas
parcels will be sent over later.
Various appropriations have been
made to worthy causes, such as 81 ,000,-
900 for the relief Of sick and wounded
French soldiers and their families |;
100000 for medical research work In
France; 100000 for supply ware
houses; sl,500,000 to buy foodstuffs to
I've sent TO France, and 100000 for
the hospital supply service.
The transportation problem with
which the Red Cross has had to cope
in moving supplies overseas has been
most difficult, but through official
French. British and Italian co6pera-
ton with the United States Shipping
Board and leading steamship and rail
road companies vast quantities Of sup
plies are now shipped almost daily. A
special Red Cross transport service has
been developed in France. as the rail-
roads there are overtaxed with mill
tary needs.
Six base hospitals were sent to
European fronts in advance Of the
American soldiers and more than q
dozen are now actively in service there
and others are rapidly being made
ready.
