BRITAIN INSISTS ON
EMBARGO ON WOOL
United States for Present Not
to fee Permitted to Buy
Australian Surplus.
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.
TRENTON. N. J.. Nov. 20. Walter C.
McAllister, who, -with Andrew Campbell,
George Kerr and Walter A. Death, was
convicted of drugging and murdering
Jennie Bosscheiter In Paterson, In 1901,
was liberated from the New Jersey
State prison today by the board of
prison Inspectors. McAllister is the last
of the quartet to leave the prison.
Kerr turned state's evidence and re
celved 15 years in prison and served
his full time. The other three men
were sentenced to 30 years each. Camo
bell was paroled by the Court of Par
dons and Death was recently freed by
ine same Doara tnat liberated McAllis
ter. The Court of Pardons had refused
McAllister's appeal for clemency a
dozen times.
The crime for which the men were
convicted was a brutal one and aroused
National interest.
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.

and almost contempt at your Ignorance.
'Why, Colonel Z they say.
Name la More Than Flag;.
"It is extraordinary to see how the
prestige of a name is able to transform
a troop and give It cohesion. This
name is more than a flag. It Is for
these colonial reservists a gage of
success, a fetish.
"Yesterday I was able to escape a
few minutes. The bombardment since
October 1 has ceased completely. Our

enemy's artillery no longer fires on the
village. It Is quite uselessly searching

Our artillerymen have prepared them
selves remarkably well. They have
built shelters and suffered little from
the German fire.

there the most moving spectacle of my
life. The dead are no longer counted.
One forgot that these were corpses !n

this spectacle taught. I have sent my
officers on a pilgrimage there. Treas

Men Die Faclne Enemy. ;
"There were more than 600 where
they had fought, in the positions where
death had caught them; one section in
the midst of a bayonet charge; one sec
tion on its knees, firing; In front and
behind the officers in their places; not
an officer or man with his back turned.
They were reservists. There were some
parts of the line where the regularity
of the intervals a foot) between the
corpses was Impressive.
"Passing next to the German side, I
was able to observe the effects of our
75-millimeter guns. Men intrenched in
deep shelters were torn to pieces. A
little to the rear, in the woods, were
long rows of dead. They had been
killed by our Infantry. In one place
six men had crawled to each other's
side to die together. One of them still
held in his hand this costal card which

BELGIANS TO GET FOOD
NORTHWEST SHIP WILL CARRY
GOODS TO WAR SUFFERERS.
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. A deoot for
the receipt and storage of the food will
oe established at once and the collec
tion of supplies will be begun.
the committee hopes to be able to
secure enough supplies and money to
charter a ship and send it immediately.
The committee will try to have Oregon
represented in the relief work more
largely if possible than any other state.
While the Belgian relief work is go
ing forward actively, other lines of
relief work are also progressing suc
cessfully. 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
