SHUTTING OFF AID TO GERMANY
No Coal for Ships Unless carsoes Are
Inspected

Washington, Oct. "A final move
to prevent supplies from reaching
Germany from the outside world has
been taken by the American gov
ernment in deciding to refuse coal to
neutral ships carrying supplies from
South America to the Nothern Euro
pean neutral countries unless their
cargoes are inspected in American
ports.
In making known the decision the
exports administrative board on
nounced that it would apply pro
visions of the exports control act
which gives the government the same
supervision over bankers as IL has
over the expectation of goods gen
orally.
The step was taken with the ap-
proyal of all the Allies, who will CO.
operate by enforcing similar regu-
lations. It follows closely Great
Britain's declaration Of complete
embargo against the Northern Euro
pean neutrals. which was designed 70
strengthen the embargo already put
into force by the United States.
In O statement the exports board
makes II clear that the present abso-
Iute embargo against the European
neutrals is not necessarily perma-
nent, and that a final decision as TO
a policy will not be made until in
formation as to the neutrals' actual
requirements is obtained
The general understanding has been
that the neutrals will be fed but
that they will receive no more sup
plies than actually are necessary and
that none will go forward until prop
er assurances are received as to neu-
trail exports to Germany.
No final policy has been yet deeid-
ed on" the statement said, because
the board has not been able to OBJ
tain information from the govern
ments of the northern neutrals. re
peatedly requested, as TO their re-
sources and requirements and other
information necessary for intelligent
action. The matter still is under dis.
cussion with the neutrals and with
the foreign governments associated
with us in the war"

EUGENE ALLEN
FILES HIS WAY
OUT OF JAIL
Alleged Horsethief Escapes
Through Venti|ator Shaft
CONFINED IN NEW CELL
Was Being Held for Stealing Horse
From Pasture in Peru Late
Last August.
CONFINED IN NEW CELL

Eugene Allen 80, who has been in
the Bennington county Jail here since
! August "a, charged with stealing a
horse in Peru, has escaped. Allen
made his exit from the building by the
way of an ELEVATOR shaft into the cell
| lar. With file he cut away the
heads of the bolts holding one of the
hinges to a steel trap door leading in
to the elevator shaft. After freeing
the hinge, he used leg of chair 10
pry up the door sufficiently to permit
him to squeeze his body into the
shaft.
Aliens escape was facilitated by
the fact that the work on the new
addition to the jail has never been
completed. 1t was originally planned
that the yentilator shaft should be
partially filled at the bottom with con
crete. Had the concrete been put in
Allen would have found himself trap
ped in the shaft and would have been
unable to escape.
Allen no sooner became a prisoner
than he began an attempt TO dig his
way out of the jail. He was at first
allowed the liberty of the corridors
like other prisoners. He dug bricks
out of the sidewalks. broke the fasten-
ings ON one door, made large hole
in the plaster ceiling and left other
marks OF his persistence in seeking
a way TO liberty.
Since Sheriff and Mrs. Godfrey re-
turned from Queen CITY PeslS 3 fay
1n.4., aon Atta,Tyss- tent, cn,,4spoJ IN
one of the cells ON the west side OF
the new addition 10 the Jail. The
steel yentilator Shaft through which
the prisoner made his escape is in the
corner OF the cell The trap door was
put in for the purpose of permitting
plumbers to reach the water and
drainage pipes. Allen must have
been supplied with good file from
the outside as the heads Of three
large bolts were cut away close to the
steel sheeting. The prisoner was able
to lift the trap door, but a short
distance and he must have experienc-
ed considerable difficulty in squeezing
his body through the opening into the
shaft Once inside the shaft, how
ever, he had sufficient room to move
freely and his progress to the sellar
was unimpeded
Since Allen became prisoner, his
wife has been in the village and has
been employed at the Cottage hotel
She has been a frequent visitor to
the jail. but since the sheriff and Mrs
Godfrey returned from their vacation,
the woman has been carefully watch,
ed and has not hen allowed to ap
proach nearer to her husbands cell
than several feet, Mrs. Allen. too
has disappeared
Alien was arrested in Hubbardton
hy Deputy Sheriff ], n. Purdy of Man
chester for stealing horse belonging
to the American Realty company that
conducts pulp wood cutting bust
ness in Peru. The horse had been
turned out to pasture for the summer
and was taken by Allen, who had
been employed on Peru farm. Al
len sold the horse in Granville and
then doubled back to lIubbardtofi.
where he was working as farm hand
when arrested.
