FRANCE CLOSES DOORS FOR
TRADE WITH GERMANY
Senate Passes Bill Strengthening Pre-
Vious Action.

Paris, July 20. 7.20 p. m-The SEN
ate today passed o. bill strengthening
and making clear the provisions of the
decree of September 81 and the law
of April last. interdicting all trade
with Austro- Germans in any. country
and the commerce and all products OF
Austro-German origin applying there
to the customs regulations and penal
ties now applicable in the case of mer-
chandise, the importation of which is
prohibited.
Aristide BRAND, the minister OF JUS
tfce, in opposing an amendment to the
bill calculated to lessen the rigors OF
the proposed law in favor of American
houses in which Austrians or Germans
are only commission men or are only
partially interested, said:
I'VE must close the doors, ever
though such a step seems harsh. in or
der to prevent our enemies from anti

GERMANY TO
PAY FOR LEELANAW
Ambassador Gerard Instructed to Pre-
sent Claim.

Washington, July 29-The Washing
ton government expects Germany to
pay for the American steamer Lee
lanaw,. sunk by a German submarine
Off the Orkney Islands last Sunday,
and the state department transmitted
instructions to Ambassador Gerard to-
day for proper presentation of the
claim. No amount is stated in the
application for indemnity, as the de-
partment has not yet received the
necessary data from the ships own
ers. The claim, however, will be filed
Immediately.
Oficials here say the case is exact
ly similar to that OF the American
ship William F. Frye. sunk in the
South Atlantic by the German aux
iliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich last
February. The claim, for indemnity
in both cases rests upon the treaty OF
1928 with Prussia, which. the state de-
partment contends, specifically prohib-
it's destruction OF ships under such
circumstances.
AS the German government has de-
clined to settle automatically for the
Frye, it is presumed the Leelanaw case
also will go to prize court, though
the United States already has given
notice that it would pay no attention
to the decision of any such tribunal
in the Frye case.
