NEUTRALS SEND FOOD TO GERMANY.
ALLIES MUST STERNLY WARN THEM. TIME FOR BLOCKADE TO BE TIGHTENED. (Received May 9, 12.5 p.m.) PARIS, May 8. M. Jean Herbette, writing in the "Echo de Paris," insists on A\e urgent necessity for tightening the blockade. He quotes statistics from a confidential report, showing enormous increases of exports of foodstuffs from Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, and Holland to Germany in 1916, as compared with 1913. If necessary, intimation should be made that the Netherlands Oversea Trust and the Soeiete de Surveillance of Switzerland must be denounced. Germany's neighbours must be told either to cease supplying food to Germany or to cease purchasing goods abroad.
The United States can alter the whole aspect of the war by putting forward demands in accord with those of her European allies.
