A|RSH|PS TO AID
GERMAN BLOCKADE
zeppeIins Will Drop Bombs or
Ships in War Zone.
PROTESTS FROM SIX NATIONS
U. S., Italy, Greece, Holland, Norway
and Denmark Have Made Repre-
sensations Through ENJOYS to
Foreign Office at Berlin.
BY FREDERICK WERNER.

International News Service Correspondent
Berlin, via Amsterdam, Feb. H.
Zeppelin airships will participate in
the blockade of the British coast, the
Vossische zeitung announces on Off
cial authority. 1t is understood that
the air craft will be used to drop
bombs upon British ships that escape
from the submarine Gordon to be es.
tablished in English waters.
The Lokal AnZeiger states that Ger,
many is prepared to strew the British
coast with mines. This statement
arouses the belief here that German
mine layers are hidden in inaccessible
recesses of the British coast and are
ready to move as soon as the blockade
Is begun.
Suspect British Treachery.
That England will attempt to en-
broil Germany and neutral nations in
the hint made in an official statement
issued by the German press bureau.
1t follows: y
ut is believed in German shipping
circles that it will, aid England's in.
terests IL conflicts arise between Ger
many and neutral states. 1t is not i'm
probable, therefore, that neutral ships
will be purposely sunk by British sub
marines.
ut is also known that England has
laid large quantities of mines against
German submarines"
Six Protests Received.
Germany's expectation that neutral
countries would protest against the
proclamation of war zone around the
British Isles and along The French
coast has been amply fulfilled. Thus
far six countries, the United States,
Holland, Italy, Greece, Norway and
Denmark have made representations
through their ENJOYS here to the for
eign Office.
While these representations are in
effect protests, they are couched in
friendly terms and are to be answered
in the same manner. A preliminary
reply has already been sent to the
United States, Italysand Holland, and
Denmark, Greece and Norway will be
answered Immediately. Sweden has
thus far taken no action, but is ex-
pected to do so.
Put Blame on England.
The replies made by the Garman
government place full responsibility
for the situation upon England, point
ing out that the action of that country
in cutting off the food supplies of Ger
man civilians has forced Germany to
adopt retaliatory measures.

DELAY In HUERTA
TRIAL DISAPPOINTING

Washington, July 3.-The govern
ment's application for a twelve day
delay in the hearing of the case against
ex- Dictator Huerta, of Mexico, aroused
considerable criticism In Washington
today. The feeling is growing that
the government is playing a time
serving game. with the sole idea of
keeping Huerta out OF Mexico regard
less of the charges that have been
made against him on the score Of
neutrality violations.
This view of the situation was
strengthened today when Assistant At
torney General Warren, who has
charge Of the Huerta case, held a
conference with Secretary of Labor
Wilson. II Is understood that the ques-
ton OF the possible deportation of
Huerta TO Spain as a possible last re-
sort was considered AT this conference.
Some doubt exists in Washington, how
ever, whether this government would
he able TO deport Huerta IL the pro-
ceedings now pending against him at
Ell Paso fall. II is pointed out that
the immigration authorities admitted
Huerta without question to this conn
try when he came from Spain several
months ago. and the government prob
ably would have difficulty in establish
ing that he was subject to deportation
In view of the previous action by i'm
migration officials.

BUSINESS GENERALLY
NOW MUCH IMPROVED
Trade Conditions Letter For July Of
American National Bank Most
Optimistic In Tone.

The tone of the July general letter
on trade conditions" just issued by
the American National Bank of this
city is more optimistic than any IN
recent months. The letter reviews all
lines of business operation and details
the persistent though somewhat I'M
steady advance in business generally.
In conclusion the Letters sets forth:
The general business condition Of
the country is better than at any data
since the beginning of the European
war and activities are not confined to
export lines. Domestic business ID
steadily increasing in volume ano
while the estimated billion and one
half favorable foreign trade balance
to be created this year means much to
the business fabric ii amounts, after
all. even II 1t reaches that enormous
sum. to less than $500 per capita for
the year to the people Of this country
which is less than five cents per day
per capita. This as a single factor Is
a very important one. but the people
OF this country could not enjoy pros
peritv on that item alone. Domestic
business OF many times that amount
is being handled and those manu-.
facturers and merchants who are care
fully nursing the home trade are
building most securely and most
permanently"

The only hand-work
