TWO THE NEW CONTRABAND OF WAR LIST TO MEAN UNRESTRICTED TRADE Revised British Classification Forwarded By Ambassador Page Saturday—Copper is Absolute Contraband, Illumi nating Oil on Conditional List U. S. SHIPMENTS HELD AT GIBRALTAR PROBABLY TO BE RELEASED SOON Italy Also Places Embargo on Foodstuffs, Clothing and Military Supplies Generally. Prohibits Exportation to Any Country, Belligerent or Neu tral. Washington.—< treat Britain hence forth will consider copper ghlpmenu ab#olute contraband of war. That was revealed by u revised contraband list aent Saturday by Ambassador Page. A previous list classed copper as con ditional contraband. The only other important change Is the placing of il luminating oil. heretofore, unninctloti ed, on the conditional list. Tne question of contraband ship ments came before the state depart ment Rnturdny In other wnys before the .new British list was made public. Formal protest was lodged with the British government through Ambuss*, dor Page against detention at Glb raltar of the American steamer Kroon land, copper-laden, en route to Greece. Mr Page also was instructed to re quest the release of the Italian steam ers Han Giovanni and Begins d'ltalltt, olso detained at Gibraltar while en route to Italian ports with American copper. The United Htttes govern ment took the position thut as the shipments were to neutral countries they were not subject to seizure. Before Announcement Made. Some officials were Inclined to view promulgation of the new British con traband lists as not affecting these shipments because they were mi to before It was announced. They held, therefore, that the copper cargoes only could he t res led as conditional con traband under the previous list. Brit ish offlilalt here aro understood to *h„ro this view. Advices were received during the dn.v that Italy hud published a list of c innioi.iiti s exportation of which was fothidden. Three other neutral coun tries liuvc taken similar precautions to proto, t their trade with other neu trals from molestation and the state department ts preparing a tabulated statement of these embargoes for the Information of American shippers. Tho statement will cover shipments to Italy, Holland. Sweden snd Norway. To Help Amsriosn Trad*. The embargoes apply generally to foodsiuffs. clothing and military sup plies. Their promulgation Is expected to facilitate the restoration of Amer icau tra le with these countries since tv probable result will be to free that commerce from the annoyance and de lay of search and frequently tho tak ing of in utrnl ships to harbors for ex amination The effect of the embargoes and also of the effort of this eountry, acting for all neutrals, to find u commo l ground of understanding us to con trshand with belligerent powers will he to exempt from acixure anything short of actual contraband carried tn neutral bottoms to neutral ports. ]>«- purtment officials anticipate ttie resto ration of virtually unrestricted trade among neutrals ns a result.

Not only here, but In the Argonne region and the Woevre district, thj* fighting had been of the fiercest •haracter. It Is said the thunder ing of the guns of the British warships off Ostend can be heard on tho English coast. In all these engagements the dead and wounded are multiplying, but thousands are taking their places. The transport of the wounded Into the sone of safely, where they can receive proper attention. Is proving a problem that has not been solved. Hospitals and surgeons are Inadequate for the care of those who have fallen. SUBMARINES STILL ACTIVE. While the larger ships of the German navy remain under the protec*, Hon of their harbors, the submarines continue active, nnd another Brit ish cruiser has been sunk hy one of these destructive boats. The offi cial announcement of the sinking of the light cruiser Hermes In the Straits of Dover, gives no details, except that she was destroyed by a Ger man euhmsrlne and that most of her officers nnd men were saved.

No Word Received of Prob able Attitude of Romania and Bulgaria. Washington.—War has been de clared at Constantinople between Tur key and Russia, according to a pri vate message transmitted Saturday through the courtesy of the Amer ican embassy. The American ambassador lias not advised Washington of the declaration of war, but officials last night thought i his message either had been delayed or that he was awaiting formal no tification by the Ottoman govern ment. The private message, addressed to a New York business man. was dated 5 p. m. Friday and reached here a few hours after a lengthy dispatch from Ambassador Morgenthau describing events In Constantinople up to noon Friday. Mr. Morgenthau made no mention In his dispatch of demands hy the allied powers upon the porte and It is pro- Bumed the ultimatum, reported front London, was delivered Friday, prompt ly rejected, and diplomatic relations with the allies severed. This Is borne out by the private message filed at [i p. m. Teh prediction 1s made that declarations of war on Englnnd anl France would follow lmnytdiately that on Russia. Confine it to Russia. Advices received here under date of Thursday Indicated that Turkey still hoped to confine her belligerency to war with Russia. The government received no word Saturday as to the probable attitude of Rounmnla or Bulgaria. A belated message under date of September 29th from Sofia, however, spoke of a speech by the king proclaiming Bulgaria's In tention to remain neutral. Ambassador Morgenthau's dispatch was filed at noon Friday In cipher. The fact that no mention was made concerning missionaries led officials to believe that Mr. Morgenthau felt con fident Americans throughout the Ot toman empire would be safe. In diplomatic circles the news thaf the ambassadors of the triple entente were prepaving to leave Constantinople was no surprise. On the authority of a prominent dip lomat tt was said today that A. Rustem I lley, the Turkish ambassador here when fHfc AU3USTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, BA. leaving Washington recently, told a friend that 'Turkey would enter the war on tne side of Germany within a month. The campaign which Turkey is said to expect to wage against the Triple entente is suid by British officials to In clude extensive operations in Egypt, preparations to meet winch, it aso ii said, have been in progress for some time by Great Britain. Acting Secretary Lansing declined to say which of the powers hud asked the United States to eare for diplomatic in teres s at Constantinople but said the American government would comply with any requests of that character. Was Probably France. Inasmuch ns Great Britain previously had asked the United States to cave for her Interests in Turkey in case of emergency it w<s believed today that the nation referred to by officials was France. Ambassador Jusserand conferred with Mr. Lansing yesterday. The French am bassador declined to discuss his visit but it was thought today he conveyed in formation received by his government at Bordeaux of the critical state of af fairs at Constantinople and the* prepara tions being made ty foreign diplomatic representatives of the triple entente to leave Turkey. Although there was still a belief in some quarters that Germ in officers and Turkish commanders of the war party might have forced the situation on the Grand Vizier and hts counsellors, noth ing was contained in official dispatches which could be construed as supporting that theory. ASKS AMERICANS TO HELP FEED THE STARTING BELGIANS. King Albert Writes Message While Under Fire in Battle Before Dunkirk---His People, Threatened With Famine, Are Facing Cold Winter. London.—King Albert of Belgium j has asked the American people to help , feed Its starving people during the ; coming winter. The message, written under fire In battle before Dunkirk and transmitted to the American com ' mission here for relief of Belgium, follows: "1 am Informed that American I officials and citizens lr. Belgium and England are working to save my people from tho horrors of the famine which now threatens them. It Is a great comfort to me In Hits hour of sorrow and misfortune to feel that a great hearted, disin terested people is directing its ef forts to relieving the distress of the unoffending c.vUian popula tion of my country. "Despite all that can be done, the suffering in the coming win ter will he terrible, but the burden we must bear will l>e lightened It my people can he spared the pangs of hunger with its frightful con sequences of disease and Vio lence, "l confidently hope that the ap peal of the American commission will meet with a generous re sponse. The whole-hearted friend ship of America shown my people at this time always will he a pre cious memory. (Signed) "ALBERT."' The American commission for relief In Belgium, an official body recogntz ■ ed by the various governments, is the only channel through which food can he Introduced Into Belgium. By Its association with a committee in Bel gium It has an efficient agency for food distribution. 11 C. Hoover, the chairman of the commission, today Is sued an appeal to American newspa ! pers. It says: Still 7.000.000 Left. | “We have received reports from members of this commission who were sent to Belgium. They have the as sistance of the national committee of relief and its branches throughout Belgium, together with the help of the American ministers and consuls and local officials. The r reports show that there are still some 7,000,000 peo ple in Belgium. In many centers the people are receiving an allowance of a little more than ounces of flour per capita daily. “This is not a question of charity of relief to the chronically poor—it is a question of feeding an entire popula tion. The situation affects the wealthy and well-to-do as well as the poor. It touches every home in Belgium. What the Situation Means. “Our experts calculate that to avoid actual staiwation Belgium must have every month a minimum of 60,000 tons of wheat. 15.000 tons of corn. 5,000 tons of peas or beans and a limited amount of bacon or iard. All this will cost $4,000 000 or $5,000,000 monthly. There is no money in Belgium. The whole credit machinery has ceased. Eighty A Story of Foreign Exchange ONE POUND STERLING, in New York, was worth $4.98 ons week ago. It is worth but $4.90 today. GERMAN REICHSMARKS sold at the rate of four for 93 cents One Week ago in New York. They are selling at 881/2 cents for four today. FRENCH FRANCS were sold at the rate of 5.05 Francs for ONE DOLLAR One Week ago. Today Your Dollar will purchase about 5.1 fi/o Francs. . ; , i r What Does This Mean? It means that Germany and England and France and Other European Countries are purchasing American goods hand over fist. The daily export figures which show how our trade is climbing only cover goods ACTL T ALLY SHIPPED. The Foreign Exchange Market reflects also, the purchases made for shipment later on. What is time of the rate of exchange as applied to countries in volved in the war applies with equal force to Neutral Nations which are innocent sufferers through the sudden and cataclysmic suspen sion of their trade with the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Germany and Japan. Buyers of Neutral nations are therefore, also turning to us. 3 Prosperity For This Country Is Just Around the Corner. Cheer up and get busy. The way to do business is to go after it. Let the people know you are ready to dn business and they’ll do business with you. per cent of the people are unemployed. “A plan may be derived whereby such Belgians as possess property may give obligations to pay when the war ends, but if we even could realize on these obligations we must still have at least $2,500,000 monthly in food or money with which to buy it. “During the past weea we have re ceived and expended in emergency food $600,000 and yet this is only four days’ supply. The problem is immediate. The Belgians are helping themselves but they can do little. The British and French are under such strain that they also can do little. | Funds for Food. “It is our earnest hope that all funds raised fob* Be'gian relief in the United States will be transmitted into actual food. “Will you, therefore, in the interests of humanity, open a subscription among your rearrers, ear-marked ‘For the Sole Purpose of Purchasing and Transport ing Food.’ Every dollar so raised will be used to purchase food in the United States.” NOVEMBER 1.
