BANKER TO LEAD
BLACKLIST FIGHT
Leopold Zimmermann to
Head Organization to
Protect U. S. Trade.
DECLARES AMERICAN
DIGNITY INVOLVED
Counsel Holds English Action
Is "Unlawful, Inconsistent
and Absurd."
Leopold Zimmermann, head of the
bankinc firm of Zimmermann ft For
flhay, which has been closely allied
with German fmanccs in this country,
was aaelected yest-erdav aa permanent
chairman of the organixation effected
on Friday to combat the efforts of
Great Britain to blacklist firms trad
*ng with her enemies.
The organization, which had its pre?
liminary conferences in the Chamber
of (ierman and American Commer-ee, at
1! Broadway, will find a r.ew meeting
place. Ileinrich Charles. in charge of
the rooms, said that the chamber had
done with tiie organization.
"We simply offered our rooms as a
eoaveaioat place for reprsenUtives of
the blacklisted firms to meet," said Mr.
( harles. "Now that they have organ
i-ed they will not meet here, as the
orgauization has nothing; to do with
us."
Making liaate Slowly.
Mr. Zimmermann left his offlee early
for Sea ClitT and referred all inquiries
to his counsel, M. II. Blumenthal, li
Naaaaa Street. who will direet th legal
destinies of the organization.
"We are making haste slowly," said
Mr. Hlumenthal. "The great impor?
tanee and farreaching effect of the con
troverav between hte two countries re
qairfl that. the American side be pre
r-ented deliberately. without cxcitement
or elamor."
Mr. Hlumenthal held that the black
liatiag of (ireat Britain was no longer
an affa.r in whtrh a few citizens were
peraecatOti, but one in which the dig
:..ty aad rnt.-grity of the American na?
tion were involved.
Calla Britain Inconaiat-ml.
"In attempting to justify its con
duct," aaid Mr. Blumenthal, "England
has deelared through its chief of the
Department of Foreign Trade that 'the
test applied before putting a firm
oomiciled in America on the statutory
liat is this: "Is that firm, by its busi
nefl* operations, strengthening our en
eaaiea. If so, then Britiah firms may
not support it." ' This test reflects an
attitude that is unlawful. inconsistent
and absurd. It is unlawful because in
direet conflict with those provisions of
international law which recognize th.r
right of neutral nations to trad* with
any belligerent power. It is incon
B| in view of the fact that during
the last fiscal year England has earned
un trade relations with citizens of the
I'nited States reaching the billion-dol
lar mark, whereby ahe (England) cer?
tainly has been *strengthened.* And if
il is fair for us as neutral citizens
volu'ntanly to deal with England and
thus strengthen' her, how can England
be heard to say that we are to be ex
communicated from the realm of com?
merce if we voluntarily deal with Eng
land's adveraaiiea, thereby strengthen?
ing' them""
The banking and eurreney firm of u.
Amsinck ft Co., of Hanover Square,
which was frerjuently mentioned in con?
nection with the doings of Captain von
Papen and his Germn propaganda en
terprises, is not on the British black?
list. It is said that in April last,
TlieOiiginalEgn)tianCigarettes
Naturals are like a thoroughbred that runs
away from the field- -out of its class.
Don't for a motr-r-ent let the price of Naturals
fool you.
Don't for a rm>*-nent think of Naturals as really
being in the 15c class- because they don't belong.
But get thia?
Naturals would cost you a lot more if Schinasi
Brothers made only a few thousand cigarettes
instead of millions.
Quantity production keeps the cost down to
us?and the price down to you.

i taken prisoner by the (Irrmina.
Lieutenant Marchal made a continu
loBS flight of about HOT miles, mont of
, which he travelled in darkness.
An official c.ommunication given out
i to-day ?aid:
"On June 20, at 9:30 p. m., Sub-Lieu
tenant Marchal aseended at N'ancy on
board a Nieuport monoplane of a spe?
cial type. His mission was to croaa
(iermany at t low altuude, in order to
drop proclamatiuns on the capital, Bar*
j lin, and then to descend in Russia.
"This audacious flight was accom
plished, and after flying all night Lieu
. tenant Marchal was eompelled to de
throagh Rritish pressure, the firm of
Gillesaie Bree. el 82 Fenchurch, I/?n-i
I don, took over practically all of the
1 Brm'a South African business and
maved to ita branch office in this citv
with many of the clerks familiar with

lt was said yesterday that by mutual

I selves and their elientl in South Africa,

Great Britain and are now enjoying a

Among the firms whose names have !

West Twenty-seventh Street, and Ai
bert Herskowitz _fc Son. furners. of 4-4
. West Twenty-eighth Street.
louis Cohen, vice-president of the
Ariowitsch company, iaid that he could
ascribe no reason for the blacklisting
except that the cornpany had B place
in Leipsic.
"We have h branch there," said btt.
Cohen, "but we never shipped to or re?
ceived goods from Loipsic. A warninir
was sent to our London OBCO on Mar--h

London, July 24. Communicationi
still are passing Setween the govern?
ment and Ambassador Spring-Rice re?
garding the British blacklist, but until
after Ambassador i'age's talk with Lord
(rewe to-morrow no definite step is
likely to be taken.
The present disposition of the gov?
ernment is not to attach itself to any
precedent, but to sUn 1 firmly nn ita
sovereign rights toward British subjects.
Nothing indicates the slightest present .
possibility of withdrawal of the 11st,
but it is most probable that Lord ClB*S*S
will assure Ambassador Fage that every
safeguard will be taken to meet Ameri?
can feelings. He also will emphasize
the fact that those persons listed will
be given every chance to prove that
their names ought to be removed.
British newspapers scarrely comment
on the subject. printing only the most
meagre telegrams from the I'nited
States, although no official embaYgo has
been placed on their free comment.
At the Foreign Office to-day it was
stated that it was quite incorrect_ to say
a grave situaton had arisen. Nothing
in the nature nf a rrotest has yet been
received, and neitner side has had a
chance fully to state ita position.

Boston on the Lookout
for Submarine Bremen
[Bl NapaoB la Ihi Trtiiune ]
Roston, July 24. In response to a
Fuggestton by a custom official that
there might be news off Roston Light
late to-nlght or to-morrow morning,
Beetea newspapers sent a tug down the
harbor this evening to watch for the j
German lubmarine frelghter Bremen.
All-dny quarantine officiais had a boat
patrolling off the light, ten miles from :
Boston proper. At the Navy Yard the
torpedo boat Henley, commanded by
Lieutenant E. A. Mclntyre. was waiting
eraera to meet the submarine.
The Chamber of Commerce's marine
ooserver at Hull was questioned over
the telephone frequently during tho
day. He caused excitement late in the
afternoon by reporting a foreign war?
ship off Minot's Light. The vessel was
apparently f>00 feet long. Her flag could
not be distinguisbed. Through his
glasses he could see men in the crow's
nest. The vessel turned near the light
and headed out to sea at full speed
toward Cape Ann. She was supposed
to be a French or British vessel on the
lookout for the Bremen.
Since Saturday Boston morning
papers have been holding men over- |
time. prepared for extras ii the Bremen

BRITAIN TO CONSULT

Aid Will Be Asked In Commer

London, July 24. Fremier Asquith
made it clear in the House of Common-.
to-day that the appointment of a com?
mittee to consider eommereial prob?
lems after the war, which recently was
announced, would not interfere with
the holding of a larger conference ir.
which the dominions would participate.
Replying to questions, he iaid:
The government deiires as loon as
possible to convene a conference of the
repreientatives of the I'nited Kingdom
and the dominions and India to con
sider the eommereial policy to be adopt?
ed after the war.
"In view of the past fiscal contro
yersies in this country we think :t es
sential as a prior stage, :n ord- r thnt
the conference may have practical re?
sults, to set up a committee here to
discover how far an agreement amon .
ourselves is possible under the changed
conditions brought about by the war.
'The appointrsent of this committee
will not interfere in any way with a
free and unfettered discusiion of the
problems with the overseas representa?
tives."

can see tli<- submarine on the surface
many miles further than the subma?

the Deutschland nearly two minutes to
submerge, and that time would mean a
lot to good gunners on Allied boats.
"Then, too, the microphones on board
all the boats outside the three-mile
limit at the Virginia Capes will tell the
Allied poliee boats just when the sub?
marine appears in their neighborhood.
"With thia fleet on watch, their pres

down within a few hours after it passes
out of neutral waters.

aro Jacob Markel, president; Morris

and tValtor B. Bound, v.ee-presidents;
Engene Rottgay, treasurer, and Karl

The letter urging persons anxious to
send money abroad to protest to their
mi/mbers of Congress deelared that
rnorfl than 8,000 copies of the telegram
had been distrrbuted.
"The European war has practieally
stopped the sale of steamship tiekets,"
savs the letter, "thereby depriving the
agent of his chief source of income.
Up to a short timo ago most of us were
i make up for this loss to some
degree by the sale of money orders. but
on account of the seizure of the Ameri?
can mails by the British government
the forwarding of money orders to Ger?
many and Aus'ria-Hungary has lately
became almo=t impossible, which state
af :.:fairs threatens the majority of
banker* and moncv forwarders with
annihilation.
"The I'nited States government s**/
eral weeks ago protested against this
unlawful proci'eding on the part of
the Allied powers, but up to this day rio
answer has been received, and no relief
can be expected unless our government
takes drastic steps toward remedy.ng

done only if strong protests pour into
Wa-hinjrton from citizens of the United
Statea whose business has been thereby
affected.
All To Re Sent at One Time.
"It was therefore resolved at a meet?
ing of the association held on July 6
that every money forwarder should be
unrently requested to send a night tele
pram to his United States Senator and
hi. (ongressman at Washington.
"In order to make the protest mor*
tffective, it is requested that these
niglr. telegrams be forwarded by all on
July ta, so that they may all reach
Washington on July 27.
"It would also be advisable to change
the wording of the telegram according
to your be.-t understar.ding, so as not to
rnake them all uniform and to conform
to your individual requirements and
condition*-. The more telegram? that
come to Washington the more pressure
will be brought to bear upon the -jov
