king Alfonso, OF Spain, has sew
eral times personally interviewed to
hasten to a successful conclusion the
negotiations now going on in Madrid
to secure certain Spanish supplies
for Pershtngs army. This state
ment was made yesterday by men
familiar with negotiations. Speedy
and satisfactory agreement is pre-
dicted.
9nment was informed by the War
'.rade Board that no effort is being
made to influence these negotiations
Trough the detention of Spanish
lips in American ports.

items in their cargoes which the
board cannot license for export. No

Spain has been established, 1t is in

On the other hand, efforts have been
made to get to Spain railroad and
other supplies sorely needed. A
large shipment OF lubricating oil has
already gone forward and it is stat
ed that clearance will soon be grant,
ed to shipments OF boiler tubes and
other locomotive parts badly needed
by the overburdened Spanish rail-
ways.
There is no effort to coerce Spain
or any other neutral, the War Trade
Board insists. The United States is
willing to send Spain monthly sup
plies OF cotton and petroleum ade-
quate for her needs. In view Of
the hardship involved in sparing these
supplies. however. reciprocal favors
will be asked of Spain.
The United States. the board in

WAR TRADE BOARD
EXTEND EXPORT rule
Licensed Shipments Must Be Made
By April IS.

On February 16. 1918, the War Trade
Board published a statement refer
ring to the Presidents proclamation
or February II. 1918, in which it was
stated that collectors of customs
would accept shippers export dec
larations in lieu OF individual licenses
for all goods which had not hitherto
required licenses, when it could be
shown, to the satisfaction of the col
lectors, that the goods were covered
by either bill of lading marked for
export" or a through export bill of
lading, provided the bill of Iading was
dated February 10, 1918, or earlier,
and. further provided, the goods were
actually exported by March Is, 1918.
The War Trade Board assumed that
all exporters who were interested in
shipments covered by bills of lading
as above described, dated February
IL, 1913, or earlier, would Immediately
apply for export licenses and would
receive the same in ample time to be
used by them on or before March Is,
1915
1t has now been called to the at
tention of the War Trade Board that
there is at present a considerable con-
gestion of freight at various ports
which will make it impossible for all
goods covered by the above ruling to
be exported on or before March 10,
1918. In order. therefore, to take care
of the situation, the board has adopt
ed a simple form of procedure to be
used in those cases where the goods
Are covered by either a bill of
lading marked for export" or
through bill of lading dated February
l9. 1918, or earlier, and

Presidents proclamation of February

Any exporter or shipper who may be
Interested in shipments of this char
acter which are not exported by
March Is, 1918, should present his ex-
port declarations to the nearest branch
office Of the War Trade Board, and
this branch office will license such
shipments on the export declaration,
without requiring the shipper or ex-
porter to file formal application
These export declarations, when H.
censed, will be of use only IL the
goods are actually exported by April

LEAGUE HELPS
N. FARMERS
Representative Baer Tells
Single Takers Of Its
Achievements.

What has been accomplished by
the farmers OF North Dakota.
through the medium of the Nom
partisan League was the subject OF
an address by Representative John
NJ. Baer. last night before the Sim
gle Tax Association at a meeting
held in the Public Library.
Men Elected on Merit.
Representative Baer told how, by
becoming members OF the league
and voting for men upon their mer-
its instead OF for party preference,
the farmers of his State had pro-
cured justice which had been long
denied them in the matter of dock
age and grading of wheat, the prin-
cipal product of the growers of the
State. He said that the league in
North Dakota. which now has over
$4,000 members. has gained control
Of the State legislature and has
elected virtually every State officer,
including a majority of the mem
bers Of the Supreme Court.
I'VE are now working in fourteen
States" said the Representative,
and we hope TO control elections
in those States at the next prima
ries. By this cooperative plan we
are tearing down one OF the black
est economic autocracies which has
ever existed. and the ultimate end
OF our labors will be the bringing
together of the producer and consu-
mer and the elimination OF the need
less middle man."
All Interests Pleased.
He explained that although the
farmers had control of the legislature
and elected practically all officers,
there was more general satisfaction
among all classes in the State than
ever before, as all classes Of the peo-
pie were getting more justice than
they had formerly obtained.
Labor leaders in North Dakota
have said that since the farmers have
come into political power, labor has
secured more fair play than ever be-
fore. In fact, during the first year
labor secured a number OF pieces OF
legislation for which It had been fight
ing for forty years"
