Washington, Sept. 7.?President Wilson tonight placed an embargo, effective September 10, on the expor? tation of coin, bullion and currency. At the same time he authorized the secretary of the treasury to license such sxportatlons, where in the opin? ion of the Federal Reserve Board, they are not harmful to tho public interest. The effect of the embargo which applies to all nations, will be to plac > absolute control over gold exports In the bonds of Secretary McAdoo and the Federal Reserve Board. Officials believe that the measure will go far toward conserving the huge store of gold accumulated In this country since beginning of the war, a store which recently has- been drawn upon rather heavily by Japan, Mexico and Spain. Strict adhesion to the embargo U regarded as unlikely and undesirable. Curtailment, however, of the free movement of gold to the Orient ap? pears probable. For some time past treasury and reserve board officials have viewed with some concern the tendency of gold to flow away from the United States. NO SECOND DRAFT SOON. Crowder Say* President Is Not Con? sidering Stich Move. Washington, M-pt. 7.?Provost Marshal General Crowder, in issuing new rulings concerning the oxcution of the selective draft law, today re Iterated that no date had been set for I second call for men for the national irmy, and that so far as known no iecond call is contemplated by|Prcsl ient Wilson. Killings issued today provide that a -eglstrant whose order liability doe;, not permit of his being selected for the first quota cannot, even at hi? own request, ho advanced and sent s/itb that quota. The acceptance of substitutes for ' men selected for military duty is pro? nlbitcd and local boards are instruct sd not to consider claims of a reg? istrant from the army, navy or marine 1 corps at the expiration of enystment ' or for some physical disability since corrected. Another ruling Is that registrants may In certain circumstances be ex? empted or discharged to enable them to continue In non-military pursuits but sfter they are selected for mili? tary service they may not be assigned to non-military service. , The office of the Trl-County Cotton Marketing Association was opened or. East Liberty Street this morning with Mr. G. T. Brooks lm ' charge. Mr Brooks Is an expert cotton classer In the service of the Bureau of Market of the Department of Agriculture and has been detailed for the season op the Sumter market. Mr. J. H. Hlggin botham, Field Agent of the Bureau o Markets Is here temporarily asslstln*; Mr. Brooks in getting the Marketing Association started. Considerable cotton was taken to the office today to be graded and the association head? quarters has taken on a business-like' appearance. This marketing associa? tion is the biggest and most importan* thing that has ever been started by the farmers of this section of the Stat and If cotton farmers will unite In Its support end make use of the service that It offers them they will make more money out of their cotton and build up the best and biggest market In the State. The marketing associa? tion la a cooperative enterprise by farmers for farmers and Its primary purpoae Is to help the farmers finan? cially, but while they are helping themselves they will be helping this market. The association will stand? ardise grades and cotton will be sold strictly on grades, so that the man who haa good cotton will get all It Is worth, while those who do not handb their cotton . carefully and produc poor cotton will pay the penalty. Am' what la more Important the associa? tion will be the means of enabling th farmers to sell direct to milla In large lota by pooling their cotton. Tin farmer who does not unite with, sup port ami avail himself of the services of the cotton grader will be standing In his own light. The association can be made to revolutionize the market? ing of cotton In this section of the State?but It all depends upon the cooperation of the farmers. A letter from Mr. It. D, Epps says that all the Sumter men at Fort <>gh thorpe are hard nt work and gettinv along well. All of them are In the In fantry, except Dnbba and DcsChamp who are In the field artillery, lie Nfl P also, that there are more than twelv? hundred Pennsvlvnnlnns In the cam and that moat of the agon in the com pany with him are Pennsylvanlans. NEVV MODEL Mil PLANES.' Now German Machines My at Altitude or Thirteen Thousand UnH While on Attack. Paris. Sept. 6.?The Gotha air? planes with which the Germans havc; been bombarding England, arc motor-1 planes fitted with two motors develop Inf 430 horse power and with two tractor propellers, according to Geor? gs Bprade, the French aviation ex? pert. They carry three persons?the Pilot, a bomb thrower and a machine i gun operator. All can serve the quick flrera if they are attacked, as there are three of these gums carried. M. Sprade, who has been watching the machines at the front, says that these machines, passing at an alti? tude of 13.000 feet on the attack, can return at an altitude of 20,000 feet without their bombs, their super-corn pressed motors giving them full power at great heights. X EG HOES IN TTOP MAJORITY. Far Outnumber White Men Drafted for Army. Columbia. Sept.\ 7.?A far greater number of negroea than whites have been certified for service in the nat? ional army from this State up on the present, according to incomplete rec? ords being compiled by the ? Adjutant General's office- Major John D Frost, Assistant Adjutant General has- been compiling this list for some time, but many* of the local boards are slow to send in the desired informa tion. Incomplete lists from eighteen local districts show a total of 67? White men certified and 921 negroes. Lists compiled separately for white men and negroes so far are as fol? lows: White. Negro.

Some time ago tho Herald noted that the Impression apparently s< prevalent among the friends of Ameri can soldiers that a large proportion of the American expeditionary force.* cannot look forward to a safe returi home was entirely unsupported by th? actual experiences of the war and ut terly unjustified by the official statis? tics'. The French, who have suffere. the most, have a mortality of scarce ly' more than 1 1-4 per cent, for tin six months of strenuous fighting from January to July of the present year But the whole story of the flghtinj in the west of lOurope shows nior favorable results even than that. Th statistics carefully collected from olfi cial sources show a mortality for all the allies on the western front of no more than 11 per 1,000 of those en gaged. This figure includes also thosi who died subsequently, somctiihes ev en long after, from buttle wounds. In spite of another prevalent im presslon to the contrary, carefull fostered in some quarters, the mortal Ity of recent months is not only no higher than it was at tho beginning o the war but much lower. It was th first million men from France and th first hundred thousand from Englnn who had to bear the brunt of Genna preparedness and their own compara tivc unreadiness. Tho lesson of wa has been learned. The mortality o British and French forces now is not much more than one-fifth what it wt at the Marne and in Flanders. ? Nc York Herald. Their Reputation. I'. G. Wodehouse, the English hu? morist, said at an ant! pact flat lunch eon in New York: "My dear friends.

"Sergeant." whispered a private saluting, "one of these here G er mat corpses dont' want to he buried. B says he ain't dead." "Bury him anyway," said the irr? itant firmly.

EXAMINATIONS CONCLUDED. ?_ Sixty-seven Mori Fall to Appear for Physical Test?Believed Sulllcicm Number of Men Obtained. Tho second day of physical exami? nations under the second call for men ?f the national army saw a small per? centage of rejections, running abou twenty per cent. Eighty-two men ap? peared before tho examining physi? cians. Out of the 2 25 men summon? ed sixty-seven have so far failed to answer the call and appear for ex? amination. These men will automati? cally be drafted into the army. Tho general belief is that sufficient men have appeared, passed the physi? cal examination, and will be accepted to IUI out the number needed to sup? ply the first quota. The local board will go into exemption claims next week. Ahout seventy-five men will be selected out of the number examined yesterday and today.

State Warehouse Commissioner Smith advises farmers to hohl their cotton until the market become steady, as tho decline is evidently du to speculation and the rush of new cotton to the market. This opinion may bo some consolation to those who refused to sell old col l on whon the market price was up to 26 cents. SEIZE X KITH Ali VESSELS. Vnltcd States Xecds More Ocean Going; Tonnage and Would he Within Rights. Washington, Sept. ('..?Shortage of ocean going tonnage may cause the United States to seize some 400,000 tons of neutral shipping now in American ports. Dutch and other Scandinavian ships which are loaded with foodstuffs may be required, it was stated today, to discharge their car? goes and go to Australia and Java for wheat and sugar. International law officials point out, gives belligerents the right to com? mandeer neutral ships whenever the emergencies of war require it.
