W A P T rrXG TO 1. March 22. Tha first
list of Imports to be prohibited entrance
into thla country in an effort to con
serve tonnage for prosecuting tha war
wan made public tonight by the War
Trade Hoard under authority of Presi
dent w ilson's proclamation of Fcbruary
14, which put all imports under license.
By denying permits for the Importa
tion of certain metal, foodstuffs and
luxuries, which can be obtained here
or can be sacrificed to the greater need
of putting ships Into war bui-ilnens. the
board expects to add 1.600. 000 dead
weight tons to the fleet carrying men
and munitions to Europe.
Prohibition on the Importation of
tha artirlea listed Is not absolute, even
for sea-borne traffic, owing to certain
conditions of commerce which will per
mit importation at times without hind
rance to the war programme. Return
cargoea from Kurope may bring pro
hibited article, provided they van be
loaded expeditiously and If there is
cargo space. Prohibited article also
can be Imported by rail from Canada
or Mexico, when originating in those
countries or In others where auch suuds
are licensed or export.

Only those foodstuffs were listed
which can bo dispensed with and In

While the Turidsh partner turns again to the wholesale murder of Armenians, the
Kaiser, contemplating with satisfaction the heavy bag of little nations that is the reward
of his sportsmanlike prowess, permits himself to "live again one of those great moments
in which we can reverently admire God's hand in history." Moreover, "with gratitude
toward God" in his heart, he faces the future "firmly trusting in the sword." The phrase,
"no annexations and.no indemnities" was still on its lips when Germany closed its mailed,
fist over Russia's Baltic provinces, Finland, Poland, the Ukraine, and Roumania, and now
the same clutching menace seems to be moving toward Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.

Never before perhaps in the history of the world
has it been more difficult to arrive at the actual
truth regarding the tremendous events that are
occurring from week to week. Empires are fall
ing, huge tracts of territory are changing hands,
and the political complexion of states is being
completely altered over night. To know the real
facts regarding these epoch-making occurrences
is a vital necessity for every one of us, yet there
are innumerable influences, both domestic and
foreign, that tend to keep the issues clouded and
the exact developments in doubt. To obtain the
truth you must find a news-magazine that gives
you the facts impartially, from whatever source
they may be derived, that has no policy but to
state conditions as they are, without gloss of con
cealment, and that leaves your judgment abso
lutely unfettered. Such a magazine is THE
LITERARY DIGEST. You need it.
