of hogs. were burned to death. It
is believed the two strangers, seek

fate.

COAL EXPORTS HALTED
Interstate Commerce Commission
Stops Shipments From Atlantic


New York, June 26.-Shipments Of
coal to Europe or other foreign ports
are prohibited in an Interstate COM
merce Commission order made public
here yesterday, which went into 'ef-
feet Immediately. The embargo, at
present. is effective in all ports on
the North Atlantic coast from Charles
ton to the Canadian border.
The action was taken to make avail
liable many badly needed cars for
carrying coal to the Atlantic sea-
board.
Strictly interpreted, no ship in any
port in the district affected will be
able to obtain even bunker coal to
take her to Halifax or any other
nearby foreign port, but it is doubt
full whether the measure will be
stringently enforced.

Our New Foreign Policy

OF all the changes that eventually will take
place in Washington after the inauguration of
President-elect Harding, none will be of greater
Importance to the American people than his pol
icy toward foreign affairs. In his own campaign
speeches Mr.. Harding said he would return to
the traditional policy Of America, which is based
on the theory of defending and preserving
American rights abroad and of refraining from
interfering with the controversies Of European
countries. ,
Traditionally the American foreign policy has
operated on the assumption that our vast terri
toria expanse, with the varying interests that
arise therefronl, give us enough domestic prob
lens without forcing on an alleged humanitar-
ian interest in the affairs of European people.
Consequently, we have in the past paid no
attention to the merits of European controver-
sizes. Neither have we believed it our duty to
mankind to determine the form of government
for European country, or to designate it's terri
torial confines. These questions, we have MAIN
tained are not within the sphere of our foreign
policy, so long they do not interfere with le-
ultimate American rights.
And as a result of that policy, our national
treasury has not been depleted in fighting other
peoples wars, and the blood of our young men
has not been spilled in behalf of other nations.
The only exception being the World war, suffi-
Gent provocation for which existed after the
sinking of the Lusitania and the discovery of
German plots against the lives and property of
our citizens in this country.
The Wilsonian theory that America has
humanitarian call to safeguard the peace of the
world and to help determine the destiny of Euro
pean countries was in its essence alien to our
national conception of own destiny and in
opposition to the traditional principles of our for
eign policy.
How deep-seated is our national opposition to
the Wilsonian theory of our foreign policy was
accurately measured by the election Tuesday, in

which the American people held referendum
on that very question-und subtedly the major
issue of the campaign.
President-elect Harding therefore, will have
the united sentiment Of the American people sup
porting his announced foreign policy, and assur-
ing him through the large number of Republic
cans elected to congress that they have absolute
faith both in his conception of our relation to
foreign nations and in the soundness of the ira
ditional policy of the American government in
this respect.
America in the past powerful factor in
international affairs, primarily because it re-
Trained from interfering with petty European
squabbles and proclaimed to all the world that
this country was haven for the oppressed peo-
pie of the world, and that this government ex-
listed solely to represent the will of it's people,
expressed by the representatives it had elected
to office.
Never did foreign policy pretend to be-
lieve that it was within our province to enforce
our form of government on another nation or to
dictate it's acceptance. By it's very aloofness and
silence it proclaimed more effectively than
through the dictates of league of nations the
excellence of our republican form of government
and the soundness of our theory that every ma
ton on the globe must work out it's own destiny,
on its own SOIL and through it's own people. No
super government imposed by league, it be-
lieved, could do that. Only free people, of its
own accord, and imbued with the principles of
liberty justice and freedom could effectively
bring it about.
By combining our attentions to our domestic
affairs and declining to participate in secret di-
plomacy, or to make or threaten war for terri
torial or commercial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, America
stood as example of international integrity
that was admired and respected the world over.
We were truly the haven of the weak and de-
fenseless, the champion Of the downtrodden and
oppressed, for our very government carried out
in actual practice what our constitution laid down
as guiding principle.
The American people demonstrated Tuesday
that this shall continue to be our policy. They
elected Mr.. Harding to office, knowing full well
that he stands for that policy and that hence
forth there shall be effort to entange our
national destiny with those of European coun-
tries which for centuries and centuries have been
involved in war and implicated in the mazes of a
diplomatic standard which has not and cannot
receive the sanction and support of the American

Answers to Questions

Reader - How did cigarette fad
start? Cigarettes began their fashion
able career in London about 40 years
ago. Their vogue in this country was
later. The Occident happened to dis
cover the cigarette when former King
Edward, then prince Of Wales, went
out to India on the Scraps in 1873
and stopped at Alexandria on the way.
Up to that time the prince had smok-
ed only cigars, and fashionable London
had followed his example. At Alex
andria he happened to sample the Gig
arettes of the country and became con-
verted to their charm. When the
journey to India was over the prince
dropped in at the establishment where
i, he purchased his smoking supplies
and told the head of the house that
at Alexandria he had smoked Egyptian
cigarettes and that he would fam re-
peat the experience in London. In Or
der to crafty this desire the firm was
obliged to send to Egypt to fill the or.
der. No Egyptian manufacturer OF
cigarettes was known in LONDON, SO
! the order was sent to Shepheard no,
tel with a request to have 1t filled
somewhere. AS result fifty thous'
and cigarettes of only fair quality
were received by the English ilrm'
and the prince took his share of them.

was smoking cigarettes everybody else
