FLEECE WANTED AT HOME rrohibitlon Extended to All Grades Since Increase of Army Was Or dered Modification 1ater On Is Expected. "WASHINGTON. Nov. 20. Great Brit ain has declined to modify. In favor of American manufacturers, the em bargo on exportation of wool from Australia and other British dominions. It had been hoped that after the needs of the British army had been satisfied Americans might be permitted to buy the Australian surplus, giving guaran tee that neither the wool nor goods made from it would reach Austria or Germany, but the State Department was Informed today that for the pres ent, at least, no exceptions would be made. In spite of the lack of advance as surances, however, officials here and interested manufacturers still are con fident that there will be a modification later. They think time will demon strate that the entire output of raw wool from the colonies is not needed by Great Britain. Robber Also Included. It Is understood that the decision of the British Privy Council as to wool applies to rubber, of which large quan tities have been exported to America from the Straits Settlements and India. There has been no official report on this point. During the year ending last June the United States imported nearly $60, 000,000 In manufactured woolens and the great bulk of this came from the United Kingdom. The other principal source of supply was Argentina. The embargo was Imposed soon after the declaration of war. It applied at first only to combed wool, the rougher grade used in clothing manufacture. Commerce in finer wool was permitted under license which prohibited re-exportation of the manufactured article to other than neutral countries; but when it was decided to increase the British force under arms by more than 1.000.000 men. the embargo was ex tended to finer grades as well. . Australians. Hrllcrt On. "With the near approach of the wool auction season abroad, American man ufacturers began pressing this Govern ment to see what could be done to obtain relief. A factor in relieving the situation, it is believed, will be the eagerness of Australian and other growers to se cure the benefit of American competi tion in the sale of the!.- wool. They are now restricted to the English mar ket, and, with -a huge supply in sight, can hope for no great increase in price. BOARD SETS BRUTE FREE liast or Four Murderers ot Woman Walks Out of Prison.

TEACHER DIES OF BURNS Efforts to Rescue Pupils From Wyo ming Prairie Fire Are Fatal. CHEYENNE. Wyo., Nov. 20. Bertha Rhelnhart. a schoolteacher, died today from burns received in rescuing her pupils from a prairie fire. Miss Rhein hart taught a country school near Horse Creek. A cloud of smoke pierced with tongues of flame yesterday heralded the approach of the fire. The teacher realized that the blaze, driven by a high wind, was rushing straight for the schoolhouse. Sending the children to a rocky hill nearby. Miss Rhelnhart went out to fight the flames in frontier fashion by burning oft a strip of prairie in front of the main fire. She succeeded thus in diverting the blaze from the school bouse. In the meantime, however, several of the children had left the hill and ran into the path of the fire. While run ring to rescue them Miss Rhinehart was fatally burned.

Roads Promise Free Transportation If Offeringa Non-Perlshable Port land May Send Boat. Among the general movements for relief work in Europe, the activity of the campaign for the Belgian refugees has assumed especia.1 prominence in the last few days. It now is contemplated to send a shipload of goods as soon as posible from the Northwest to the des titute people in Belgium. Other transportation plans alreadv have been suggested, among which was one from the Union Pacific, re ceived yesterday from B. L. Wlnchell. director of traffic. He telegraphed yesterday that the line would carry free goods destined for the relief of the Belgians, provided the goods aro to be sent direct to the Belgians and are imperishable foodstuffs. Foodstuffs and money is what the Belgian relief committee is especially working to get. Samuel Hill has been appointed by the Governor chairman of the Belgian relief committee, and associated with him on the committee are C. Henri Labbe, Dr. O. J. Coffin, J. Van Hoom- ssen and Joseph Closset.

Among these Is the canvass of the Netherland girls, who will make their headquarters at Llpman, Wolfe & Company's store, also headquarters for the Red Cross Society. TRUSTEE FOR FOES ASKED British Attorney-General Would End Transmissions Which Aid Enemy. LONDON, Nov. 20. The Attorney General, Sir John A. Simon, introduced in the House of Commons today an In teresting amendment to the act cover ing trading with the enemy. He said his aim was to stop the transmission of money or credits which would be advantageous to the enemy. Every body holding property in trust, such as dividends, profits, etc., belonging to enemies of the empire of Germany, Aus tria and Turkey, would henceforth be required, under penalty, to pay these profits to a public trustee. The Attorney-General explained that Indiscriminate confiscation was not in tended. "We are preserving the enemy's prop erty until the end of the war," he said. "What will happen to it at the end of the war can properly be decided then." CANAL TRADE PROTECTED Information Userul to War Nations Will Not Be Given Out. PANAMA, Nov. 20. Strict orders have been received to preserve neu trality throughout the Panama zone. Hereafter no information will be given to anyone relative to the cargoes car ried by the ships using the waterway and entering the terminal ports. These orders have resulted partly from President Wilson's recent neu trality proclamation and partly from the efforts of local British diplomatic and consular agents to learn what ships carried coal and other probable contraband through the canal for pos sible transfer at sea to German war ships. uu The imbortance of reserve sfrtnath a wa ture blood at this fnVi? cannot be oner-esttmntoJ and Nature's nnr rir.n'c.1. ment in SCOTTS EMULSION imparts that strength which en riches the blood, adds strength to the bones and vigor to the whole system.
