Entrance Of United States in
War SimplifieS Blockade

BERLIN IS NOW
NEAR ISOLATION

LONDON, April 1.-THE entrance of
the United States in the war opens pos
siblities of making the blockade of
Germany effective as never before. 1t is
pointed out by authorities close to the
Admiralty that when the nations of the
American continent generally are bellig-
erents the movement of supplies TO Ger

they are not intended for German use.
This means that for the first time
Germany will be literally cut OIL from
the rest of the world Brazil, Argen-
tina and Chile are all highly important
TO Germany both during and after the
war. The interruption of all CONNER
cial relations means the utmost difficult
ties for Germany If the Latin Ameri-
can nations generally enter the war
many thousands of Germany now scat
tered about the world will have to be
intefned, because there will be no place
where they can be sent.
The Germans IN Brazil are reported
going to other South American coun.

the fact that Germans are universal out

A general agreement among the
American nations to cut of Germany
from supplies would in1ict hardship OF

RUSSIAN Gives PLAN
TO Guard j. s. FOOD
Cooperative Societies on
Vast Scale as a Remedy
for Speculation
GIVES ADVICE TO
DEFENSE BOARD

WASHINGTON. April 11.-Nlichael
NJ Podolsky, Of Philadelphia, formerly
a civilian member associated with the
Russian Munitions Commission as an
engineering authority, appeared be-
fore a conference of members Of the
Advisory Commission Of National De-
fense and presented the outline OF
methods OF taking care Of the food
supply Of the nation during the war.
Mr. Podolsky said:
So that the United States may not
repeat the mistakes of the European
nations, but. on the contrary, profit
from their experience, the government
or the United States must consider,
respectfully submit two phases OF the
food question:
It must prepare to meet the necessi-
! ties of its own people
II must prepare TO meet the necessi-
ties Of the Allies, not only IN regard
to munitions, but also in regard to
| food.
For the successful establishment
and development OF such societies. Il
is necessary to instill among the peo-
pie Of the United States a clear and
correct comprehension Of the main
ideas upon which these organizations
are based. namely:
Cooperative societies save money
for their members in the purchase Of
necessities.
These savings are in proportion to
the amount Of the funds mutually con-
tributed for making such purchases,
] because the profits made are divided
in the same proportion.
The participation OF the people in
these societies does not require Of
them hard work or much time. The
only requirement is that they shall
buy their supplies In their own shops
or stores and that they shall see TO il
that they elect to the management of
these enerprises persons who can con-
duct the business efficiently.
To carry this work out 10 sue
cessful conclusion it will be neces-
sary:
To ascertain the present available
supply Of foodstuffs in the United
| States.
To decide upon steps to guard
against a shortage in the immediate
future.
To ascertain where stocks Of food
exist and TO estimate the length OF
time which they will support the com
munitles where they are to be found.
To ascertain the current prices OF
food in first hands-farmers, millers'
packers. etc, and the prices currently
quoted by wholesalers and retailers IN
tho different sections Of the country.
To collect information as TO the pos
sibllities for adequate transportation
and distribution of food, and to con-
slider the facilities of the railroads for
meeting the requirements OF the civil
ian population. as well as OF the army
and navy.
To consider ways and means to inn
press the entire population with the
fact that the government, in taking
the steps contemplated, is acting as
a wise and helpful executor OF the ma
tions business.
