Germany isolated BY
Shipping Regulations

eHT SSS4NTf s4&Es&N ~
London,-Gerinany Is now believed
90 b efectually blockaded. Accord.
Ing to estimates made here. she is
completely cut off from receiving IN.
ports from other than her allies owing.
to the fact that the prevailing short
age Of foodstuffs Ia neutral countries
nearby have made it necessary for
them TO withhold from her any i'm
ports needed by their own people.
Virtually nothing is now permitted
to go into Holland or the Scandinavian
countries from England. the United
States or n Of the alliedNcountries.
These now almost control the whole
worlds exports of foodstuffs. feeding
stuffs and raw materials OF e
kind.
This ~stiffening UP of the blockade is
attributed here to the policy adopted
by the United States in July Of with
holding its exports from neutral couu-
tries near Germany except on terms
under which they must cease the ex-
port even of their own products to
Germany. This principle was exs
pressed in London in the phrase: 1--WE
will not send you wheat or fodder to
enable you to export meat and but
ter to- Germany. Until you agree to
stop your exports to Germany we will
send you nothing"
Americas memorandum to Norway
as published in that country says sub
%stantially: 1.-THE United States will
regard all export to the central powers
as a subtraction from the food sup
plies OF other necessaries which the
country concerned should expect to
obtain for its own industries or sup
port. 1t can hardly be expected that
the United States will assist these
countries with necessaries if they
continue to give help to the Teuton
powers"
Imports of oils and fats into Hol-
land and Scandinavian countries have
decreased from an average Of $4,000
tons a month before the war to a
monthly average of 22,50o tons at
present, according to figures made
public here. Imports of cereal and fod-
der, formerly $4,000 tons a month,
have decreased to $4,000 a month
Cotton imports have declined one-half
since 1916 and imports Of hides and
leather are now q mere fraction OF
what they formerly were. Copper i'm
ports have declined almost to one
fifth their former proportions.

MISER' HEART
DEAD TO LIFE JOYS

There Is a legend of a certain man.
whose god vas gold, and whose pas
sion during his lifetime was the ac-
emulation Of the precious metal.
After years OF boarding the man died,
but even before his Anal passing his
family and friends we're astounded to
find all trace OF his heart gone.
After his death his treasure box was
opened. There, surrounded by his
boarded dollars, lay the heart, secure
in the presence OF its treasure.
To American mothers no more des-
picable man could be pictured. For his
treasure, stored In the dark places OF
his possessions, might have saved
many days of strife and sorrow. And
his heart was lead to all that the best
In manhood stands for.
or far gentler sort was the heart of
that little mother, type OF thousands
been laid on the altar. There will be
a legend about those mothers in some
remotely future date. And the light
will shine around such as she.
II didn't expect to sew any more"
said a little. bent old lady, who asked
II she might have work to do. II
thought my sewing days we're over, for
Joe took care of me-"
And there her eyes glistsned and
she Strengthened back as far as pos

I can't buy Liberty Bonds with that"
and she smiled with a satisfaction
which bespoke decision regarding her
