THE EMBARGO ON EXPORTS

| Somebody drew cartoon the other
| day representing Uncle Sam as the
proprietor of a restaurant. Entered a
sI0aI girl, with a spacious pocket-like
receptacle on each side of her skirt
From one of these peeped a scrap OF
paper bearing the following from the
Kaiser, What you cannot eat, bring
hcme.' Above the cartoon appeared
d caption quoting Uncle Sam to the
effto; that these new-fashioned pockets
were barred. The little girl represent
ed the neutral nations of Europe, and
the pockets which she has been wear
ing in the great American restaurant
are indeed now to be barred. The
American government has determined
that this country shall cease feeding
Germany or know the reason why.
The announcement that an embargo
would be established on exports to
eutral countries has already stirred up
considerable resentment among the
European non-beligerents. They are
about to a profitable business killed
There is much condemnation among
them of the American government A
Danish newspaper declares our policy
to be brutal and out of keeping with
our professions of concern for the
rights of neutrals. 1t is only natural
that the European neutrals should be
annoyed by the embargo, but their de-
lnunciation of the United States is
without any reasonable basis. 1t has
been established beyond peradventure
that food and other necessaries ship
ped from this country to Scandinavia
have been proceeding without delay in
to the German empire. This would be
indicated by comparison of the pro.

war exports to those countries and
their present demands, if there were
not other means of proving it. The
Swedes naiyely explain that they are
dependent upon US for supplies to COW
er the deficit caused by their exports
IL Germany. From the American point
of view, there could be no better state
ment of the case. That is the very de-
felt which the United States intends no
longer to cover.
There is no disposition on the part
of our government to force starvation
on the neutral nations of Europe.
What they require for the sustenance
O. their own people they can get; that
and nothing more. 1t is not pleasant
to be compelled to destroy the profit
able commerce they have built up, but
America cannot, in the words of a con-
temporary, "be expected to feed and
fight Germany at the same time. -

DESERT FIGHTERS
SUFFER TERRIBLY
IN MESOPOTAM|A

MELBOURNE, Australia, July 10
Hardships and discomforts of the
British campaigns in Palestine and
! Mesopotamia are the themes of many
letters written by Australian soldiers
! serving under the commands of Gen
erals Sir Archibald Murray in Pales-
tine on Major General Maude in Meso-
potamia.
IF you want to see a muddle you
ought to see a camel convoy under
shell fire." writes one man from the
vicinity of GAIA in southern aPles-
tine. THE natives who lead the cam
els run away at the first shot and then
the white men try to induce, by all
the profanity they can muster, those
: camels to hurry out of range or under
the cover of a hill. All the time good
lives are being lost, trying to save the
convoy, which perhaps has the water
supply for thousands of men in the
firing line"
Dust, heat and flies are the three
worst plaques of Mesopotamia from
the soldiers standpoint, writes one of
the privates who suffered from them.
ITO you," he adds, "the flies would be
quite inconceivable. They settle in
/ great clusters on everything. Some OF
/ them can sting and bite severely. With
the coming of nightfall the ordinary
flies disappear and the mosquitoes and
sandt1ies take their places. The sand
| fly is an insidious plague. You have to
wear a very fine suffocating mesh on
your face and at night you must spray
thin acid over your face to get any
peace. The temperature goes up from
lilo to 142 degrees in the shade. The
mornings work being done you lie in
your tent with the flap up. You almost
gasp for breath. Anxiously you await
i the going down of the sun. You wear a
toupee or a wet towel on your head.
One very rarely wears much clothing
and you lead the simple life, The heat
takes all pride from you. You're just
/ bathed in dust and sweat.
You can get sunstroke through the
small of your back, The hot wind, bad
as it is, is better than the complete
stiffness although it bounces off the
earth finging sand and dust all over
you. You eat sand and breathe it; you
lie down in it; it's in your mouth, eyes,
, ears and clothes. These things leave
Mesopotamia burnt into your memory
forever"

PATRIOTISM OR PLUMBER.

President Wilson's appeal to the
interests of the country to be
satisfied with just and reasonable prof
its is also a warning:
Those who do not respond, who
do not respond in the spirit of
those who have gone to give their
livesi for us on bloody fields far
away, may safely be left to be
dealt with by opinion and the law
for the law must, of course, COM
mand these things.
Not only must be dealt with, but in
evitably will be dealt with, unless there
is more restraint on the part of men on
whom the vast majority of the Amer
lean people DEFEND for the necessaries
OF life
Those of moderate income, and most
Americans have only moderate in
comes, cannot indefinitely withstand
the pressure of extortionate prices.
In this matter the President is wise
in refusing to discriminate between
the government and the public. "The
public, as he rightly declared lis now
as much a part of the government as
the army and navy themselves; the
whole people in all their activities are
now modified and in service"
Senator Lodge in his opposition to
the Food Control Bill said, Let private
business make all it can, and then tax
it," That theory will not stand. II
subjects the consumer to indiscrimin-
ate plumber on the pretense that the
government will manage to get the loot
away from the robbers, but in the
meantime the consumer remain plum
dered and the success of the govern
ment in recapturing the loot remains
problematical
Taxation of profits is not enough.
There must be limitation of price as
we'll. Whether this is to beAdone by
individual initiative or governmental
coercion is a matter for business men
to decide for themselves. One thing
they may be sure of. This war is not
to be period of uninterrupted pillag
ing of the public.
So far as the government is con-
cerned, it can easily take care of itself,
and in the main it has done so, but
the relation of the consumer to the
problem is different matter He can
not take care of himself, and unless
provision is made for his protection
this country will face a most serious
economic crisis, which cannot be met
by the customary process of raising
wages and then raising prices again to
meet the wage increase.
Nobody is asking sacrifice of bust
ness such as everybody demands of the
men who are sent to the front. 1t is
not expected to die for its country, but
only to be moderate and reasonable,
and if it cannot do that much yolun-
tarily it must be made to do it.
There is something more than dol
lars and cents to be considered in
with the question. Far more
important is the sense of social wrong
and injustice that will soon be IN
famed unless there is an appreciate
decrease in the general cost of living,
and in this aspect of the case the
PRESIDENT is not guilty of exaggeration
when he says prices mean victory or
1efeat.Y On thesissne Of patriotism or
Dlunder American business must soon
take a definite stand New 4 York

WHY NOT AMERICUS?

Announcement is made that base
hospital for the treatment of wounded
French and British soldiers is to be
established at Savannah and that the
first hospital ships bearing battle-torn
troopers will sail within few days.
It is suggested that an energetic eff
fort be made to secure the establish
ment of military hospital in Ameri-
Gus, to be operated either as branch
of the base hospitals located at
Charleston or Savannah, the advant-
ageous geographical position of this
city being urged as one of the most
potent reasons for such a selection.
The continuance of the war necessa-
riIy means a -ceasing stream of
wounded men sent back from the fight
ing lines, and if it is necessary that
the French and British wounded be
brought across the Atlantic on account
of insufficient facilities in Europe, how
much more will it be needful to make
ample provision for our own soldiers
who within short time will be at the
forefront of the battle.
| During the War Between the States
branch hospital for the treatment
of wounded Confederate soldiers was
established in Americas. the strategic
location of the city for that purpose
being readily recognized by the mill
tary leaders.
| Direct communication by railroad
with Savannah, which is destined to
become one of the greatest seaports of
the Atlantic coast, offers excellent
TRANSPORTATION facilities for the trans
fer of wounded men from the base hos
pitfalls. The distance is not too great
and no difficulty could be apprehended
in that connection.
The salubrious climate of this par
ticular section is an important point
which should be impressed upon the
authorities having jurisdiction in the
) matter of hospital site selection. Nc
more healthful locality than Americas
could be pointed out in south or cen
trail Georgia.
Suggestion is made that the build
ings owned by the Third Agricultural
district Fair association might be util-
lied for hospital purposes, thus obviat-
ling a difficulty which might otherwise
prove a temporary obstacle in secur-
ing the selection of Americas as the
site for a branch hospital.
The details of the project may be
worked out, however, the most practi
cal steps being taken as the necessi-
ties of the situation are made appar
ent. The first step is to inaugurate
an active movement to bring Americas
to the attention of the proper author
tiles as an available and desirable hos
pital site. If the project is to be car
ried through successfully. it should re
lagitated without delay,
