no country. but touched all alike which
exported any Of these articles to Amerl-
ca.
Some of the prohibitions will scarcely
be noticed by anyone in this country,
as they affect imports of which only
small percentage come from overseas.
One per cent OF the imported agricul-
tural implements come in ships, it
was pointed out, and the prohibition
will mean little or nothing to the con-
Stunning public, but will save an appre-
ciable amount of shipping space. Many
of the prohibited articles are of bulky
nature, compared with their absolute
weight, so that the conservation ac-
tually will be greater than the figures
indicate The elimination of many long
hauls also will serve to increase tom
mage facilities.
Pyrites constitutes the largest single
item on the list, contributing 10000 10
the total tonnage. Only those food
stuffs were listed which can be dis
pensed with and in many cases re-
tanned more advantageously i'll the
country of origin, obviating a further
drain upon tonnage to transport sub
stitutes.
Bread stuffs, except wheat and wheat
-four, all fruits except bananas and
pineapples all nuts and all vegetables
except len1ils. beans and peas are on
the list. Luxuries which the public
must foreeo include iewelry dices, bill
lard balls. poker chips. musical instru-
ments. perfumery'and feathers.

Washington, March 22-The first list
of imports to be prohibited entrance
into this country in an effort to con-
serve tonnage for prosecuting the war
was made public tonight by the War
Trade Board under authority Of Presi-
dent Wilson'S proclamation Of Feb. 4,
v hich put all imports under license.
BY denying permits for the importa-
ton OF certain metals, foodstuffs and
Iuxuries which can be obtained here or
can be sacrificed to the greater need of
putting ships into war business, the
board expects to add 100000 dead
weight tons TO the feet carrying men
and munitions to Europe. Tonight s
list Of 81 articles or classes of articles
constitutes only those least essential,
concerning which there was little ar
eument. Lists to follow will touch
various interests more closely and will
not be issued until after consultation
with the trades affected.
The restrictions are not effective on
goods shipped prior to April Is. United
States consuls have been instructed not
To issue consular invoice on and after
April Is for the articles mentioned in
the list without first being furnished
with the number of the import license
or being given other evidence Of the is
suance OF such license. The obliea-
tion OF furnishing proof is placed on the
importer.
In discussing the list, officials i'm
pressed the fact that it was aimed at
