ASSURANCE OF DELIVERY DENIED United States Exports to Holland and Scandinavian Countries Are Af fected by Latest Order. London The plan of rationing the neutral countries of Norway, Sweden. Denmark and Holland, under which no further licenses will be granted for the present to British exporters, has been extended to apply to the United States by the expedient of refusing to allow i tie Netherlands' Overseas Trust to ac cept further American consignments and by declining to grant letters of as surance for American shipments des tined for these countries. In consequence American shipments for Holland will be stopped absolutely, wnue tne regular transportation com panies trading between the United States and Scandinavia will not take cargoes without assurance of tfcs'r in nocent destination by the British authorities. Furthermore, tramp steamers are hardly likely to risk the inevitable landing in the prize court of any cargo they might accept. Neutral diplomats here believe two reasons induced the British govern ment to take this action. The first is the simplicity of the plan, which en ables the government to control sup plies at the source. The second is the growing bill with which Great Britain is now pressed by neutral governments for demurrage and other expenses in curred by taking suBpected ships into Kirkwall and other ports for examination.

The conservative government head ed by Premier W. J. Bowser, appar ently has been decisively defeated. The returns indicate that the liberals will control the next legislature, 88 to 14. Suffrage apparently was carried by an overwhelming majority and the re turns thus far received indicate that the prohibition bill has been endorsed by a safe margin. The defeat of the government is the most Btriking in the history of the province. The returns thus far are generally decisive and it is not considered likely that the soldiers' vote will materially affect the result although Premier Bowser may retain his seat in the pro vincial parliament, as he is not far be hind the liberal ticket, which appar ently was elected in its entirety in Vancouver. In Victoria, A. Stewart, the recent ly apponited minister of finance, was defeated, polling 600 votes less than the lowest liberal in the capital city, where the complete liberal ticket was elected. In Rossland, Lome Camp bell, minister of mines, is 100 votes behind his opponent with only two small precincts to be reported. In Kevelstoke, Thomas Taylor, min ister of public works since a conserva tive government came into power, was decisively defeated. In Grand Forks. E. E. Miller, one of Premier Bowser's new ministers, lost by a substantial majority. Relief Depends on Hoover. Stanford University, Cal. "The situation in Belgium Is so extraordi nary that if Herbert C. Hoover lost heart today or died, in a few days the Belgians would be without food and starving," was the declaration made here by Dr. David P. Barrows, who addressed Stanford students on his eight months' experience with relief work in Belgium. Dr. Barrows aald that Hoover's task of feeding 10,000, 000 Belgians dally was equal to feed ing the western armies of both the allies and the Germans. Women Raid Food Shops.
