RedfieId Makes Public List Of Products
Requiring License for Export-PresL

Western Newspaper Union News Servi;e
Washington.-The President and his
advisers on the exports council have
finally decided that no more susie
nance must get to Germany to keep
the German armies in the field. With
in a very short time the exports con-
troll will develop into strict embargo
on food products and military material
for neutrals adjacent to Germany. The
exports council has quietly informed
shippers and exporters that they must
prepare for this. The President has
become convinced that this will not
be a measure aimed at the German
people. 1t has been proved to him that
the large amount of fats which seeped
into Germany through Holland and
Scandinavia last year, fat ration OF
100000 pounds went to the troops in
the field first The civil population got
little of II.
So far practically all applications for
licenses have been granted. This pol
icy was adhered to that the applica-
ton of the exports control law might
work as little hardship as possible on
the country's growing export business.
Secretary Redfeld made public the Of
fetal list Of all commodities requiring
license for export. These are the sec
ondary products included under the
general heads in the Presidents proc
lamation Their scope indicates the
extent to which the exports council is
preparing to go in preventing susie
nance, particularly fats, reaching Ger
many. For instance, under the head
ing, Food grains, -four and meal
therefrom" the exports council has in
cluded oil cakes, on cake meal, malt
and peanuts. These commodities were
used to fatten cattle and enrich their
! milk throughout the German-feedlng
neutral nations. The resultant animal
| fats formed the one element in the
German military diet which Germany
could not herself produce. The en-.
| forcement of the embargo on these
| foods and feeds will effect little hard
ship in the United States. 1t will re-
suit in depriving certain industries OF
the abnormal profits of this traffic
which ultimately reached the enemy.
The products will now be available for
domestic use They are counted on "a
the food administrations plans for
conserving the organizing of the coun'
try's food supply and controlling prices
here. The exports council will permit
only just enough of these commodities
to reach the neutrals as will sustain
them on the same basis as that upon
which the allies have to live.

Range NEXT FRIDAY
Defense Rifles Plan Ceremony in
Union Station Dome.

Elaborate plans have been laid by
the Washington Railway Terminal
Company for the opening next Friday
night of the rife range in the dome of
Union Station for the use Of the two
companies of its employees belonging
to the Home Defense League Rifles.
DR.. George E. Cook, of this city and
Maryland, who ranks as one Of the
champion rifle shots of the world, will
dedicate the new range by firing a
string of twenty shots in the five diff
ferent positions prescribed by the
regulations OF the Home Rifles. Cere-
monies of an impressive character will
be conducted.
The new range is situated in the
apex of the Union Station building,
facing the terminal points of street
railway traffic. 1t is adjacent to the
bowling alley of the Y. NJ. c. A. divi-
sion of railroad employees. and no ex-
pense has been spared in its equip
ment.
The Home Rifles is commanded by
Col NJ. A. Winter. and has a member
slip of approximately LOO at present,
with prospects of passing the 1000
mark before the end of this week.
as the Southern Railway is planning
to hold a recruiting rally soon with a
view of joining forces with the other
railroad employees, and whatever COM
pany is organized from its ranks will
hold its initial drills in the gymnasium
of Union Station.
The Redmen are also engaged this
week in seeking enrollments for a
large company representative of the
order, and expects to turn ina list of
fully 200 from its membership. The
knights of Columbus are making ar
rangements to add their quota to the

JAPAN NOT SEEKING
WAR AID PROMISES

session Issue with Lansing.

When conferences between Viscount
Ishii and Secretary Lansing are re-
sumed today neither the question of
steel exports for Japan's shipbuilding
Industries nor the disposition of the
former German possessions in China
and in the Pacific will be discussed.
This was made clear Saturday as was
also the fact that, in planning for her
more extended aid in the war, Japan
will not demand tiny conditional prece-
dent.
1t also is definitely stated that while
it may be impossible to avoid touch
ing China in a general discussion of
Japan's position in the Far East.
Japan's wishes and ambitions will not
be brought up at this time.
Japan considers 1t as a prime neces-
sity for her, as well as for the United
States, to have peaceful conditions in
China, not only to enhance China 8
value as an ally at this time, but also
for the further peaceful development
of new conditions in the Far East.
Consequently the Japanese Mission
here is eager to decide how best the
United States and Japan can coop
crate in developing both the power
and resources of the Far East for the
common good.

daredevil JOHNNY"
DIDN'T Climb SHAFT
Crowd Expecting to See Dash to
Monument Top Disappointed.

Evidently Daredevil Johnny didn't
dare. 1t was thought by some people
that Johnny Reynolds would attempt
to scale to the top of the Washington
Monument yesterday afternoon DUR
ing the concert which was given by
the Marine Band, but nothing of the
kind happened. Reynolds didn't say
he would do it, but he has said that
he would like to climb to the top of
this towering shaft of granite, bal
ance himself on one foot at the top
and wave an American flag. and 1t
was on the strength of these state
ments that it was thought by some
people that he might make the at
tempt to do the stunt" yesterday aft
ernoon while the big crowd was in
the Ellipse. 1t is highly probable that
failure to get the permission of the
authorities is responsible for his fall
ure to make the attempt, as 1t has not
been generally believed that he would
be given the necessary permission.
Reynolds has done quite a bit of
climbing since his arrival in the city
a few days ago. His latest stunt was
to climb to the top of the Equitable
Building on Fourteenth street Satur-
day afternoon. He performed this by
climbing up the walls of the building,
unassisted by ropes or any devices
whatever. While on his way up he
furnished some thrills for the crowd,
which had quickly gathered. by SEEM
ingly slipping. allowing his feet to
slip and swing free in the air.
After reaching the top of the build
ing he climbed flag pole forty feet
in height Having done this, he pro-
ceeded to pile a lot of tables and
chairs between the seventh floor and
the gutter of the building and then
performed various balancing stunts on
them. Attempts were made to dis
suade him from performing these
stunts on account of the high wind
that was blowing, but without avail,
for he persisted in swaying his body
out over the edge of the roof and
pull other dangerous stunts while
motion pictures were made.
