Trading as General Block

PARIS, July 11. (By the As
sociated Press.) The council of
five has decided to raise the block
ade against Germany, it was an
nounced tonight.
The council's decision was taken
after the receipt of the report of
the legal experts declaring the of
ficial document notifying the
council of ratification of the treaty
by Germany in due form.
So far as the action of the .coun
cil concerns France, the measure
will b effective only after publi
cation in the Journal Officiel of a
decree annulling the preceding de
crees regarding the blockade.
WASHINGTON", July , 1 1. With the
lifting of the blockade against Ger
many tomorrow, trading between that
country and the United States as well
as the other associated powers will
begin.
Acting Seeretar y or State Polk an
nounced today that blanket licenses
would be issued for transactions of
Amercan firms and that details would
lie given within 48 hours after de
cision by legal experts as to whether
a formal proclamation by the president
would be necessary.
Trading in all commodities except
dyestufts, chemicals and potash, con
rol over which will be exercised by the
reparations commission set up by the
peace treaty, would be unrestricted, it
was said. American frms doing busi
ness with Germany must send their
agents into that country without pass
ports, however, as these cannot be
issued until the proclamation of peace.
It also was said at the state depart
ment that there was no certainty Then
American consuls would be sent to
Germany.
Payment a Question
Payment lor tne gooas wntcn -mis
country sends to Germany must be
made under a system of credits to be
arranged later through, private capita),
officials said. Details as to this sys
tem have not been worked out. While
Germany has large quantities of goods
ready to be exported; officials-denoted
that there would be any great demand
for them in this country, and conse
quently the trade balance in favor of
the United States is expected to be
large. , ...
Germany was said to be in immediate
and pressing need of raw materials of
almost all kinds, particularly cotton
and copper, in ordr to' rehabilitate hen-'
industries. Ijirge amounts of food
have been sent into that country un
lr the direction of the interallied re
lief commission, but it is believed that
the demand for grain and other cereals
will be great. Clothing of all kinds
also is needed.
Arrange Ship Facilities
Three ships for Germany already
have been loaded in American ports,
one with cotton and two with general
merchandise, it was said today at the
shipping board, and they will start
overseaa as soon as licenses for their
cargoes have been issued.
It was also announced that direct
steamship lines to Hamburg and Bre
men would be established by the
hoard. These lines will operate, out
of New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and South Atlantic and
Gulf ports just as soon as the neces
sary cargoes are at the docks. Hal--stead
& Sons, steamship owners of
Philadelphia, will manage and operate
for the hoard a line from Philadelphia
to Hamburg. OVie ship will be allo
cated to this firm at, once and addi
tional ships as cargoes available re
quire. In announcing resumption of trade
relations, acting secretary Polk point
ed out that the trading with, the enemy
act was not abrogated and that the
action of the government was not to be
construed that the state of war had
ceased to exist. The war will be at
an end only with the ratification of
the pea.ee treaty, ft 'was said, and the
trading with the enemy act will remain
in force until it is repealed by presi
dential proclamation after . the. war
ends.

LONDON, July 11. Predictions that
the project to bring the former Ger
man emperor to' trial in England will
be abandoned, are growing in view
of the almost unanimous opposition of
the newsepapers of-all parties. Virtu
ally all of the leading papers, with the
exception of the Northcliffe press, are
denouncing the plan.
' The Northcliffe papers have taken
no stand in the matter but print many
letters from prominent persons oppos
ing, the trial. . The influential weekly
reviews all oppose or deride the pro
ject. Walter Runciman. lormer member
of the cabinet, writes:
"Feeling .in this country is justifi
ably bitter against the kaiser. Indeed.
It is so bitter that the public might
take the law into their own hands and
lynch him."'
The Saturday Review says:
"It is a mistake of taste, a want of
tact. London is the last place in the
world that ought to have been chosen,
first because the English are the chief
enemies of the Germans, according to j
tne Germans; secondly, because Lon
don is the court of William of Hohen
zollern's first cousin," and the home of
his illustrious grandmother: thirdly,
because William has often been our
guest. King George and the emperor
must in their younger days have lived
in some intimacy."
The New statesman says:
"Let' us "hope' that the, Dutch gov
ernment will cut the- knot for us and
save us from the blunder of reinstating
the last of the Hohenzollerns in the
hearts of his disillusioned country
men.'t TUCSON, Ariz., July 11. Andrew
P. Martin of Tucson was elected state
commander of the Arizona branch of
the American Legion at its organiza
tion convention here today, without
opposition. D. A. Little of Florence
was chosen temporary secretary and
the selection of a permanent secretary
was left to the- state executive com
mittee. It is contemplated to make
the office a salaried position at state
headquarters, yet. to be selected.
Andrew P. Martin is a well-known
Tucson druggist. He was top ser
geant. Battery B. 340th Meld Artillery,
seeing service in the Argonne and
later with the army of occupation in
Germany.
The afternoon session was enlivened
by a warm fight over the basis of
representation on the convention floor,
the basis finally adopted being two
votes for every two hundred service
men from the county represented.
' At the tieglrtnlng of the afternoon

WASHINGTON July .11. Confisca
tion by the Mexican government of the
property of the Scottish-Mexican Oil
company, a British company, with sev
eral American stockholders the first
actual confiscation under the Carranza
decrees which have been the subjects
of protests from Great Britain, Holland,
France and the United States was re
ported today to the state department
The property of the Scottish-Mexican
company now was being operated by
the Mexicans, it was stated, vrho
brought in a 30,000 barrel oil well on
the land. The British government, it
was learned, has taken up the matter
of seizure with the Mexican .govern
ment and has advised the company
pending action to continue to fulfill its
obligations under Mexican law.
The land on which the company
operated, according to company offi
cials, was leased in 1910, conforming
in every way with the law of Mexico.
The state department, although in
terested in this confiscation because of
the number of American stockholders
in the company, has not taken any
steps in the matter, but is watching
closoly the steps being taken by the
J British government.

IN DEBATE PRO ID
Scathing Words for Liquor
and Also Enforcing Meas
ures All Anxious to Talk
Last of Prohibition
Oratory
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, July 11. In the
course of five hours debate in the
house today on the prohibition bill,
the liquor traffic was likened to a
convicted criminal, appealing for a
reprieve, while some of the more dras
tic provisions of the measure were
denounced as an invasion of the lib
erty, hospitality and habits of the
home.
It probably "was the last great day
of prohibition oratory in the house.
Not all of the 12 hours set aside for
general debate had been used at the
close of an all-day discussion, which
ranged from a technical argument on
constitutional questions to a straight
stump speech for prohibition and its
enforcement.
Chairman Volstead of the judiciary
committee, in charge of the bill, and
Representative Igoe, democrat, Mis
souri, leader of the minority, were un
able to allot all of the time desired
by members anxious to be heard.
All Congressmen Wanted to Talk
There were more demands than
there was time to give, with everybody
wanting a word. Time and again there
was the droning call, "the gentleman
asks permission to extend and revise
his remarks." The speech making will
continue tomorrow, but the house will
not begin actual work on the bill, sec
tion by section, until Monday.
Again today ardent prohibitionists
declared they could not support the
enforcement bill because of its pro
visions, and others contended that once
congress defines intoxicating liquors as
a beverage containing one-half of 1
per cent alcohol the federal law for
such enforcement cannot become ef
fective without concurrent action by
the several states.
Against Enforcement Law
The principal "dry" argument against
the measure today was made by Rep
resentative Moon, democrat of Ten
nessee, who declared that unless it was
materially amended he would feel in
duty bound to vote against it or else
express his disapproval by not voting
at all.
For 22 years, Mr. Moon said, he had
stood up on the floor of the house and
upheld the cause of prohibition, but
the enforcement bill, which he charac
terized as "impracticable and senseless
as anything ever suggested," should be
opposed "because it is worse in all its
features than the infamous Force bill."
Congress was going beyond its limifV,
if it attempted to say man could not
put liquor into his house and attempt
ing to define intoxicating liquors by
limiting the alcoholic content to one
half of 1 per cent.
It was apparent tonight that prohl
bition leaders were somewhat discon
certed by persistent attacks on the en
forcement bill by members of the
house, regarded heretofore as certain
to support it. They still claimed, how
ever, to have votes enough to put it
through substantially as drafted, al
though they said radical changes un
doubtedly would be made by the sen
ate. The drive by the "wets" appar
ently had broken up all attempts,
threatened several days ago, to make
the bill more drastic than in its pres
ent form.

JAPAN TREAT! VARY
Republican A. P. Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, July 11. It was
stated today that none of the material
which has come into the government's
hands in connection with recurring re
ports of a secret treaty between Japan
and Germany corresponds entirely
with photostatic copies of the alleged
treaty which have been circulated
among senators. The photostatic cop
ies reproduce a publication of several
weeks ago in a publication at Shang
hai. Senator Lodge already has a resolu
tion pending calling for any material
the government may have on the sub
ject The report was repeatedly denied
by the Japanese embassy here and the
state department also has denied
knowledge of the alleged treaty.
Diplomatists pointed out today the
published document described as a
treaty bears no signatures and no
dates, and might have been a memo
randum prepared by some German of
ficial with the hope of converting it
Into a treaty. It was stated officially
today that no evidence was at hand
to connect any responsible official of
the Japanese government with the doc
ument.

dent Wilson Drops the
Matter from His Mind
WASHINGTON, July 11. Senate
leaders in the league of nations con
troversy continued their conferences
today in preparation for the ratifica
tion fight, which will begin when the
senate reconvenes next Monday. While
it was said the exact lines of division
might not be drawn for some days,
further progress in solidifying their
forces was claimed by both sides.
President Wilson, having delivered
the treaty to the senate and offered to
supplement it with all the information
in his possession, apparently put the
matter temporarily out of his mind.
He saw none of the senators who have
been active in the fight, and while he
conferred with Acting Secretary Polk
at the state department, it was under
stood other subjects furnished the basis
of their discussion.
WThether the president's offer is to
be accepted by the foreign relations
committee remains an open question.
Some of the opposition leaders are
known to oppose inviting him before
the committee, but his supporters be
lieve they can secure his appearance
should he request that they .do so.
Wilson Arouses Talk
There was continued discussion dur
ing the day of Wilson's reported dec
laration that a two-thirds vote would
be necessary to make any reservations
in ratifying the treaty. The opposi
tion leaders have proceeded in the be
lief that only a majority would be nec
essary, and they declare their position
is amply fortified by senate rules.
In some quartrs it was suggsted that
the president's declaration might mean
a new turn in the reservation fight.
It was asserted he may have meant
that after a majority had written res
ervations in the ratification resolution,
two-thirds must then support the
amended resolution to secure ratifica
tion. It developed today that in his con
versations with senators yesterday at
the capitol, Mr. Wilson went into great
detail regarding the Shantung agree
ment. Ho was quoted as saying that
the understanding that Shantung
would be returned to China after a re
construction period was of a very defi
nite nature, and that the only gain to
Japan would be of such benefit as she
might derive from a temporary use of
the German railroads and other Ger
man property in the territory.

LONGVIEW, Texas, July 11. Near
ly 200 members of the Texas National
guard from Dallas and Nacodoches, or
dered here today by Governor W. P.
Hobby to prevent further clashes be
tween whites and negroes, were arriv
ing tonight by train and automobile.
The situation remains quiet after . a
clash early today in which four white
men were woundad when a small party
of white men were fired upon by ne
groes, estimated to have numbered
about 75. Reports that one negro was
killed could not be confirmed and as
far as is known none were wounded.
Additional troops are held in readi
ness at Terrell, Texas. Texas Rangers
ar expected to relieve the soldiers to
morrow. The trouble today occurred when 12
or 15 whites were waylaid and fired
upon in the negro section of Longview,
where they had gone in search of F. L.
Jones, a negro school teacher ac
cused of causing the publication of
statements derogatory to a young
w-oman of this county in a negro
newspaper published in Chicago. The
whites returned the fire of the negroes,
who were hidden in vantage points,
and withdrew when their ammunitpn
was exhausted.
A general alarm was sounded and
the whites, with reinforcements, soon
returned to the scene to find that; the
negroes had disappeared.- Five of the
principal negro residences were then
burned by the whites.
The governor was called upon when
local officials were unable to cope
with the situation.
Search for two alleged negro ring
leaders continued tonight.
ASK FlfiLIONS
IN DAMAGE SUITS
BISBEK, July 11. A total of 272
suits were filed yesterday at Tomb
stone in the Bisbee deportation cases
The total amount of damages asked for
by the plaintiffs is $5,505,000.
Damages are sought on the ground of
alleged assault, bruising, beating and
wounding by the plaintiffs; 166 cases
ask for $20,000 each, one-half of which
amount is for actual damages, and the
remainder for punitive damages: 75
of the cases ask for $25,000 each, and
31 asK lor xiu.ouo each.
Three different firms of attorneys
are handling the cases for the plain
tiffs, two of whom are Phoenix law
firms. One is a local firm, located at
Lowell. Many of the cases were hur
riedly rushed to Tombstone yesterday
for filing, as the time limit was draw
ing to a close, the statute of limita
tions in the Arizona courts providing
that such suits -must be filed within
two years. Several of the cases filed
yesterday are old complaints that have
had to be amended in order to be filed.
The plaintiffs in the majority of the
cases, it is expected, are either men
who were deported or their families or
other relatives. Many plaintiffs, it is
said, are not in the state and their
whereabouts at the present time is a
matter of conjecture.
The defendants in the 272 cases are
practically the same. - The following
