Washington, Sept. 16.-A conser- vation lista which includes wheat, wheat flour, sugar, steel, and iron for shipbuilding, and many materials needed for the manufacture of ex- plosives 0;nong its more important items, has been prepared by the Ex- ports Administrative Board in con- nection with its policy of tightening up restrictions already made. With the publication of this list to- day comes the announcement that ex- port of these commodities will be "practicallly prohibited" for the pres- ent. The loophole is provided, how- ever, that licenses may be issued when the cargoes for which appligations are made aro destined for actual war pur- poses, or where limited quantities may be spared without detriment to the United 'States. - To -day's ruling was accepted pretty generally as definite notice to most of the northern neutrals of Europe that for some time to come, despite pro- tests lodged against the present a complete embergo, they would have to get along without American wheat, and that at no time during the war peroid would shipments be made to them except on the strictest rationing basis, and only after obtaining satis- factory guarantees. This may lead to renewed negotiations for the un- loading of the 400,000 tons of neutral ships tied up in Atlantic ports, be- cause of the former rulings. Most of these ships are laden with wheat, corn and cattle fodder. 200 STEEL SIPS CONTRACTED FOR New 'York Shipyard Will Be. d Largest in U.S. l bl HMG INFLICTS SEVERE LOSSES TO SOLVE TRANS- PORT PROBLEM Enemy Met With Heavy Artil Russia 'Wii1 Receive' ill mediate .tory Fire at Langesnarck.
