layed by Bringing Cargoes
Back to America
BAN TO BE PLACED
ON ALL LUXURIES
Shipments of Goods Can Be Made Only
from Ports Approved by Board-Mat-
ter of Self Preservation Says Direc-
tor of Imports.

NEW YORK, April G.-The speed

ating To carry troops and supplies TO
France has made it impracticablc for
them to bring back cargoes of any size
to the United States, Frederick b.
Peterson, director of the federal bureau
of imports, said at a meeting OF the
Merchants Association at Hotel Aston.
The shipping board has now settled ON
a number of British, French and 1tal-
ian ports from which prompt lOadings
may be made that will tend to bring
more goods into this country, but the
embargo on food importations that goes
into effect on April IA will be more Sc
we're than ever.
After April II the issuance of Ii
censes for importers will be out of the
hands of the bureau of imports, Mr..
Peterson said, and will be taken over
by the shipping board. Merchants hav-
ing goods coming from Europe which
will not be shipped before April II will
have to make special application to
get the shipments into the country.
The list of ports approved by the
shipping board from which shipments
may be made after April Il, provided
the goods are such that they are not
vitality needed by the allies and are not
luxuries, includes the following:
British-Glasgow, Liverpool. Man
chester, Bristol, London, Hull, New.

French-Hayre, Nantes, st. Nazaire
Cette, Marseilles, Brest, Bordeaux and
La Pallice.
Any Spanish, Portuguese, West Ital

The list excludes the northern neutra

ments can be made from the approved
ports without materially slowing up tn,
transport service.
"There is ample tonnage as far a
mere cargo space is concerned Mr.
Peterson said ''Our ships are goin,
over there constantly, taking supple

The necessity for speed is so great
however, that it has been deemed wise
TO have the boats come back in ballas

GERMAN EYES ON CHINA.
Business Men Look to It as Fertile
Field After the War

German business men are looking
with renewed interest toward China as
field for their activities after the
war, according to reports found in cop
les of German papers recently reaching
London. AT meeting held in Ham
burg by the Association for the Pro-
motion of Germanism Abroad, Profess
Sor Otto FRANKIE, a fChinese special
ist,' formerly in the German diplomat
lie service and now connected with the
Colonial Institute at Hamburg, aroused
great enthusiasm by saying:
"Let US abandon all further attempts
to work in China hand hand with
England, whose culture we have come
to recognize as rotten. Let US go our
own way, confident that it will lead
| to a strengthening of Germanism in
China. German kultur there is prob
ably in ruins today. Our former good
conduct toward the Chinese has Great
ed warm friendships for us here and
there, but what is all this against the
power of gold9 The local government
is PROSTATE under the pressure of our
enemies, because German counter
pressure is lacking. If things are to
improve, we must acquire influence
upon the cultural and political life of
China. But first of all we must learn
to feel and act nationally!
eve must not leave the representa-
ton of Germanism to a handful of Ger
man merchants. Germany's govern
ment and people must stand behinC
them with deeds. The German mer
chant and the German missionary mus

FORD SHUTS OUT VISITORS.
War Conditions Make Order Necessary
at Detroit Plant.

DETROIT, Mich, April 6.-The Ford
Motor company closed its. doors to all
visitors yesterday. For a number of
years the huge Highland plant has been
open TO all people coming to Detroit.
and the Ford organization maintained a
courtesy department which furnished
guides, who were familiar with all
phases of the industry, to anyone and
everyone that desired to go through the
immense plant. The records of the
company show that people from all parts
of the world visited the factory
The officials of the company expressed
their regret that it was necessary to dis.
continue this courtesy, but as it is a
rigid rule from the government, it is en-
tirely beyond the powers of the Ford
Motor company.
