Rhondda Declares
Embargo by y. S.
Will Shorten Wa

London, July 1o.-Lord Rhondda, the
Food Controller, in statement to The
Associated Press to-day on the en-
barge proclamation of President Will
son, said:
"The comprehensive and effective
character of the Pres dents latest
action is typical of the way in which
the United States has thrown itself
heart and soul into the war. It seems
to me that the additional pressure
which will thereby be brought to bear
upon our common enemies should 60
far toward bringing this struggle 10
an earlier termination, especially in
view of the fact that in applying an
embargo on provisions the President
will have the advantage Of Mr.. Hoover's
unequaled knowledge Of conditions in
the neutral countries
"The embargo should also, BY divert
ing supplies from neutral destinations.
help TO solve the food problem OF the
European Allies. But. while our diff, 70
culties as regards supply are apprecia-
bly, eased by this embargo. we cannot
really effectively deal with the vital
and pressing question of price until
Congress passes the food bill. So long
AS there is no control over the prin-
cipal market. so long obviously must
the prices of the Allies staple foods
remain variable, and, as a rule, dan
gerously high.
Il hope soon TO announce measures
for the control of our own home grown
crops. This should help TO equalze
distribution and reduce prices But it
will. of course. be intinitesimal as COM
pared with the worldwide effect of the
present food discussion in Congress.
the result of which we await with nat
ural anxiety"

Erzberger, Leader
In German Crisis,
APoor I ailor' S Son

Matthias Erzberger, one of the lead
ing personalities in the present Ger
man crisis, is schoomaster. He IS
the son of poor tailor, and to thi'
fact ne largely owes his sudden rise
20 popularity from among the mem
bers Of the Clerical party in the
Reichstag. A brilliant speaker, Err
berger is politician and an opportu-
mist above all else. He senses carly
coming changes in the political at
mosphere. and shapes his course ac-
cordingy.
Born in 1875. Erzberger received
his university education through the
sid of wealthy friend. His father
could not afford TO send him to col
lege. He studied international law
and political economy in Switzerland
and subsequently wrote several books
on political and economic subjects
He early identified himself with the
Christian labor union movement, serv'
ING in 1897 as delegate to the Zurcf
International Labor Congress.
He was elected TO the Reichstag II
| 1903. as member of the Centre
marty. His constituents are Catholics
and mostly small farmers. As soon a
Frzberger became member of the
Reichstag he grew appreclably con
servative. As the representative o.
the petty land owners, he was, how
ever. much more progressive than the
mobiles and agrarian magnates whc
make I'd the majority of the Centre
/ He therefore became one OF the lead
I crs of the small liberal wing of thu
Centre. as opposed to the large reec
tionary wing OF this Clerical party.
I Erzberger's recent declaration IN the
/ Reichstag committee could. therefore
never have been made on behalf of th'
/ entire Central group, as the vetera'
J leader Of the latter is DR.. SPAIN. Err
/ berger spoke only for himself and th'
/ several progressive members of thu
/ Centre. His speech, however, IS
/ sure indication Of deep change o.
/ sentiment among the German people
7 There are about 10000 members ~

man Empire. If Erzberger, their lead

Washington. July 10-A section OF

letters, pictures, maps and similar
articles TO enemy countries, was strick-
on from the measure to-day in the

Faith in U-Boats
"When ruthless submarine warfare
was adopted in February the Germans
were positive that an infallible weapon
had been found which must bring the
Allies TO their knees by July. When the
Russian revolution broke out they were
told that this made assurance douDiy
sure: that Russia from henceforth could
be reckoned as out Of the war.
"If few faint hearts were doubtful
about the wisdom of bringing America
into the war, they were told peremp-
torily that the U-boat would see TO
that. Besides, the war would be over
long before America would be IN po-
sition to do anything. On the strength
of these assurances, the jingoes, VINO

The Chancellor is quoted as saying
that peace without annexation is uD-

sure Germany would win If she could
hold out. He rebuked Matthias Erzber-

severely for his opposition to the gov

ABE L. HIEBERT'S TRIBUTE
TO HIS DEPARTED WIFE

Editor Abe L. Hiebert of the
Tyrone Observer, in the last
issue of his paper, pays the fol-
lowing tribute to the memory
of his wife who departed this
life at the family home at Ty-
rome, Tuesday, May Is.
In the six years of our experience
as a newspaper man, during which
time we have had occasion to write
the obituaries Of our father and
mother, we have never yet been at
such a loss for adequate language to
describe our feelings as we are at this
time, nor have we ever written one
that wrung our heartstrings any
harder. When we married this girl,
two and half years ago, we figured
that by the time it became necessary
to write the obituary of either one we
would no longer be in the business,
but would be enjoyiny the blessings
Of serene sunset of life and this fea-
ture of the ordeal would be turned
over to younger hands. 1t seems i'm
possible to realize that the blow has
fallen this soon and that, instead of

Spring is here without doubt;
the small boy has DOTTED his shoes
and stockings, donned his last years
straw hat and with his pockets full
of marbles can be seen down on his
knees in the dirt deep in the mys-
teries Of knuckle and taw. A few
days later when tired of marbles you
will find him on the banks of creek
with a can full of worms, hickory
pole and fish line, having a glorious
time. The buds on the tree will
hardly show a tint of green before he
will be swimming, taking cramps and
just missed being drowned, having
oceans of fun, bad colds and sore
throat. Oh, halcyon days of youth,
oh spring time Of life, oh days OF
mumps, measles and stonebruises, all
too quickly you fly; the boy grows to
manhood; old age grows on apace, a
few more years and he totters on the
brink Of the grave; yet man never
grows so old but that in the spring
when the boys first get out with their
marbles he will stop moment TO
watch the game and memory will re-
call days long since past. --Guymon
Herald.

General Goethals has sent an ex-
ample in patriotism before the coun-
try. He gave up position where he
could have commanded a salary of
almost any amount he might desire to
accept-the call of the nation. He was
needed to build fleet of merchant
ships. The government offered to pay
him $4,000 a year. He declined to
accept that amount and fixed his own
pay at $4,000. Alongside the canal
builder in devotion to his country
stands Henry Ford. He not only has
abandoned the patent rights on his
farm tractor in England, but he has
sent over his plans so that our allies
can make all these machines they
need without restrictions. One gives
his time; the other his wealth. 1t is
the way Of really big men. Their ex-
ample is likely to be emulated by
others.-State Journal.
