IMPORTERS PROTEST
THE BRITISH BLOCKADE
Send Petition to President Wilson to
Take Prompt and Strenuous Action

New York, Aug. 11.-After listening
to speech by Senator Hoke Smith of
Georgia, more than 300 New York
importers today adopted a petition to
President Wilson urging him to take
prompt and strenuous action to re-
lieve American importers of the condi-
tiol-S caused by Great Britain's re-
fusal to allow products of Germany
and Austria to be shipped from neutral
ports to the United States.
Senator Smith declared that the
blockade, as carried out by Great
Britain, was one of the most fragrant
and inexcusable violations Of neutral
rights in naval history.
IT have determined the only thing
to do said Senator Smith, ''is to tell
Great Britain to revoke the blockade
order or she can have no neutral trade
with us.
The excuse that Great Britain
seized vessels having cargoes of goods
produced in Germany or Austria or Of
goods intended for Germany or Aus
tria, but consigned to a neutral port,
as retaliatory measure against Ger
many does not make the seizure law
full.
There is no Justification for the
second contention that the British
were justified in their action because
the United States had violated Great
Britain's rights during the Civil War
The United States never committed an
act, nor did our courts ever write a
line that justified the British action"

ALLIES GAINING GROUND
ON GALLIPoLI PENINSULA
Area Held at Anzae Has Been Nearly
TrebIed-lnfIiet Heavy Losses on
Enemy,

London, Aug. II. p. m.-GeneraI
Sir Ian Hamilton reports from the
Dardanelles that the area held by the
entente allies in the Anzac zone on the
EallipoH peninsula has been nearly
trebled. Five out Of six guns in the
Turkish Asiatic batteries are report
ed to have been put out of action by
the French battleship st. Louis.
The announcements were made in
an official statement given out tonight
which read:
"The latest report from Sir Ian
Hamilton states that severe fighting
eontinued on the Gallipoli peninsula,
mainly in the Anzac zone and in that
10 the north. The positions occupied
were slightly varied places, but the
general result is that the area held at
Anzac has been nearly trebled, owing
chiefly to the gallantry and dash of the
Australian and New Zealand army
corps.
'fWhile to the north no further pro-
gress has yet been made, the troops
have inflicted heavy losses on the en-
emy and the French battleship St
Louis is reported to have put out of
lction five out Of six guns in the Ash
Etic batteries"

TexansOn Border
Rest Under Arms
IN FEAR OF OUTBREAK OF MEX
IcAN POPULATION
IN A RACIAL FIGHT
Secretary Garrison Says Not All the
Raids Are Being Made by MeSieans,
but by Lawless People who Are
Taking Advantage of Excitement.

Brownsville, Texas, Aug. II. -Vir-
tually every American citizen in the
three soGthernmost counties of Texas
Cameron, Hidalgo, and Starr, is resting
under arms tonight in fear that the
overwhelming Mexican population of
the section may break out in a racial
fight.
Disturbance Spread Rapidly.
The Mexican disturbance spread rap
idly westward today until rumorS of
trouble developed at Laredo, 200 miles
along the border from here. The dis
turbance is reported here to have been
part of an attempt to turn part of
Texas back to Mexican control,a wild
scheme backed by ignorant classes of
MexiCanS, escaped couvicts, fugitives
from justice on the American side and
irresponsible Mexicans from the other
side, including some Mexican soldiers.
Famed by Bitter Disputes.
The disturbance has been famed by
some of the bitter disputes of border
stances kept the American residents
of this section from realizing how
strong the under-current of Mexican
feeling was growing.
Rangers in Hidalog county, pursuing
some of the gang which killed an
American trooper near Mercedes last
night, captured a flag today bearing in
Spanish the words: Army of Libera-
ton for Mexicans in Texas" They
took a horse. some literature urging
Mexicans to revolt and some kilograms,
one dated Monterey.
Plan of San Diego.
Army and federal investigators de-
clared the organizers of the trouble
are working under the plan of San
Diego. which calls for the death of
every American male over 16 years of
age in communities along the Rio
Grande and also along the border of
New Mexico, Arizona and California.
1t has been reported to Major General
Frederick Funston that more than
5000 Mexicans already are pledged to
this organization.

BATTLESHIPs TO CRUISE
IN SOUTHERN WATERS
Where They Will Be Available for Any
Service That May Be Required.


Washington, Aug 11.-After two
days of uncertainty and wire confer
ences between navy officials and Pres
ident Wilson regarding the sending of
warShips to Vera Cruz, Secretary Dan
ielS announced tonight that three bat
tleships of the fourth division of the
Atlantic fleet had been ordered ito
southern waters for any duty that may
be required
The three ships are the Louisiana,
and New Hampshire. which sailed
from Newport, r. l., last night and
the Connecticut, now in Haitien wa
ters. Whether they will be directed
by wireless to proceed to Vera Cruz
next few days.
Anxiety in official circles over the
situation at Vera Cruz was consider
ably relieved today by reports that ex-
citement there had subsidized and that
the Carranza governor had issued
public statement deprecating anti
foreign demonstrations and incendiary
speeches. Such demonstrations Mon
day caused Commander McNamee,
senior American naval officer in Mex
lean waters, to send an urgent re-
quest that his little force of gunboats
be reinforced by battleship squad
ron.
Conditions in Vera Cruz, said
Secretary Daniels today, "are reported
as much improved and there is less
cause for alarm. The situation there
may be such that these ships will
never go there at all. Conditions in
Mexico and Haiti are both uncertain
and the battleship squadron will pro-
ceed to southern waters to be ready
for any service that may be required

Greater Germany - Would Control
Belgium.

Paris. Aug. II, p. m-What pur-
ports to be the text Of a confidential
memorandum sent to the imperial Ger
man chancellor. DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, on May 20 by representatives
Of German manufacturing and agri-
cultural associations, is published by
the Temps. The memorandum, accord
ing to the newspaper, covers financial,
territorial, industrial and military con-
cesSions to be demanded of the entente
allies as Germany's terms for peace
and to insure the development of a
greater Germany It is signed by the
following men who are prominent in
the life of the German empire.
DR.. Roesicke of the Agrarian league,
Vachorst Won Wente of the German
of the Association of Westphalian
Peasants. Herr Rouger of the Central
Germany Manufacturers league, Herr
Friedrichs of the Manufacturers
league. and Professor Eberle of the
Union Of the Middle Classes of the
Empire.
The memorandum, after calling for
peace terms which would insure the
development of q greater Germany and
guarantee an amelioration of the
bases of the German empire" says:
"a peace which has not these results
will render new struggles inevitable at
an early date, but with the chances
much less favorable for Germany"
Referring to Belgium, it says: 'Be-
cause it is necessary to assure our
credit on the sea, and the future mill
tary and economic situation with re-
spect to England, because Belgian ter
ritory, so economically important, is
closely linked with our principal in
dustria1 territory, Belgium should be
from a monetary, financial and postal
viewpoint subject to the legislation of
the empire. Its railroads, waterways
should be most closely linked with our
communications

RAIDS BY TEXANS WHO
HAVE A POLITICAL FEUD
Have Been Sending Bandits to Rob
and Attack Each Other.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Genera1 Fun
ston reported that the best information
ne could gather indicated raids in
Cemeron, Hidalgo and Starr counties,
Texas, were directed by Texans hav-
ing headquarters in Brownsville, who,
having a political feud, gent bandit
gangs to rob and attack each other.
Secretary Garrison expressed doubt
that Mexicans from over the border
were responsible for all the disturb
ances and emphasized that the trou-
bles had no connection with internal
affairs in Mexico.
Conditions on the border" said Mr..
Garrison. have no political signif-
canoe. Lawless people are using this
time of excitement to pIunder and steal
and we are not sure that all the law
breakers are Mexicans. Some OF
them we know are not"
Further strengthening Of the border
forces will take virtually all available
regular troops in the country. Officials
today were considering whether It
might not become necessary to use the
national guard should the situation
take on more serious proportions

Strike at Lake
Torpedo Boat Plant
SEVENTY MAcHINIsTs AN1
HELPERS QUIT WORK
BUSY WITH u. S. ORDERS
Manager Robinson Unable to Account
for Action of Men-DeeIares They
Are All Americans Employed On
Work for the U. S. Government.

Bridgeport. Conn, Aug. 1.-THE
walkout Of 20 machinists and helpers
at the Lake Torpedo Boat company,
which is rushed with orders for sub
marines for the United States govern
ment was a surprise to R. H N
Robinson. managing director of the
plant; the granting of a so hour work
week by Burns and Bassfck Manufae-
turing company, which was turned
down at a mass meeting Of the en-
ployes in machinists' headquarters and
the voting Of the employees of the
American and British company and the
Standard Manufacturing company to
present demands to these companies
and to strike if they are refused, was
the net result Of the labor agitation
Manager Robinson of the Lake plant
made the following statement:
here today
"All the machinists and helpers in
volved are American citizens and In
view of the fact that the only work
carried on BY the Lake Torpedo Boat
company is fcr the defense Of the
United States government, it is diff
cult to understand what may have in
huenced the action of these employees,
unless one should look behind the facts
as they appear"
Several Meetings Held.
1t was one of the most momentous
days since the outbreak of the trouble
here and at the close of the several,
meetings held tonight President w. H
Johnston of the International Asso-
citation Of Machinists, declared that
strikes were like scarlet fever-con-
taSious-and that he feared unless the
manufacturers showed a more con-
ciliatory attitude that the situation
would get beyond his control"
Lake Strike Was Unexpected.
The strike at the Lake TORPEDO Boat
company was somewhat precipitous
and unexpected in union circles. The
officers of the union first sought a con-
ference with the officials of the COM
pany relative to a presentation of the
demands. The company stated they
preferred to treat with a committee
of their own employees.
Demands FIatIy Refused.
As a result. a committee was ap-
pointed from the factory which wait
ed on the officials this afternoon short
ly before 3 o'clock. The committee
presented their demand for a univer-
sal eight hour day and an increase in
pay, together with some other minor
requests. Most of them were fatty
refused The rate OF wages was de-
clared to be exorbitant. The commit
tee had demanded an immediate reply
and when it met with a refusal, the
men all walked out at BIS o'clock
They held a meeting tonight at ma
chinists' headquarters, but nothing
was given out for publication.

To Take Direct Charge of the Mexican
Situation.

On Board President Wilson's Special
Train, New Haven. Conn, Aug. IL
President Wilson was on his way back
to Washington tonight to confer with
Secretary Lansing and other members
Of his cabinet regarding the Mexican
and other problems. He left Cornish.
n. h, at o'clock this afternoon and
will arrive in Washington tomorrow
morning.
With the president in direct charge
Of the Mexican situation, developments
are expected within the next few days
He is desirous of following out the
plans for the settlement of the Med-
can question inaugurated when South
and Central American diplomats were
invited to confer on Mexican affairs.
He IS determined, however, to afford
protection to foreigners in Vera Cruz.
The president was notified late today
that General Carranza, through his
Washington agents, had sent word to
Sec'y Lansing that the Mexican people
view with displeasure any attempt
tending to Illustrate the success Of the
Carranza forces.

stations in Vermont, New Hampshire
Massachusetts and Connecticut to
shake hands with him. At Brattle-
boro, VT, and Northampton. Mass, the
crowds cheered the president. Babies

several times he leaned over the OBJ
servation platform on his private car
to pat them on the head.

ven and walked for several minutes
along the station platform. Only a few
people recognized him.

MORE TROOPS FOR BORDER
IF GEN. FUNSTON REQUESTS
To Stop Rsidins and Guerilla Warfare
Now in Progress.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Raiding and
guerilla fighting in Texas along the
Mexican border will be met by
strengthening the United States forces
if Major General Funston requests it.
Secretary Garrison of the war depart
ment and other officials insisted to-
day, however, that any such troop
movement had no connection with
Mexican internal affairs and would be
only for protection of Americans in
that district.
No Satisfactory information.
War department officials could get
no satisfactory information of the
character of the raids. One report was
received that about 1000 Carranza
troops from the Tamaulipas garrisons
of General Navarette had been cross
ing into southeastern Texas near
Brownsville to incite MexicanS in the
section to an uprising. 1t is said they
were under command of Juan De Los
Santos, Vicente Davila and Carlos Gar
cia-
Secretary Garrison said he had no
information of that character and add
ed that if CarranZa troops were found
in Texas they would be disarmed and
shot if they resisted. Advices from
Carranza sources at San Antonio de-
clared there were no such leaders as
Santos and Garcia and that Davila
war far from Brownsville. They de-
MED that any Carranza troops had
crossed the line.
Requests for Troops.
Requests for more troops came to
the war department from officials
along the Texas border and have been
referred to General Funston upon
which Secretary Garrison depends to
report whether he can handle the sit
uation with the force available. F'uns-
ton has ready on the border and at
Texas City about 1900 troops, COM
prising infantry, cavalry and artillery.
Secretary Garrison telegraphed the
general today that the 1900 Mobile
troops remaining at other posts in con-
tinental United States would be sent
to the border If he asked for them.
