British Action Breach OF
Comfy, Is View Held
by Officials.
FARREACHlNG HARM
TO COMMERCE SEEN
Foreign Business OF TeutOn
Firms Here in Danger
of Destruction.
fFrnm The Tflhnne Rnreau. !


Washington, July lS.-The State De-
partment is seriously concerned over
Great Britain's extension of the appi-
cation Of the trading with the enemy
act. Although no official notification
of this action has been received, Off
cials are already considering its prob
able effect and means OF combating IL.
The difficulty, as stated by high
Administration official to-day. is that
technically the British governments
action is perfectly legal AS the exer-
else of its technical right, however,
would work great hardships on inno-
cent neutral merchants, the State De-
partment views this action as breach
OF comfy" and will protest it on that
basis.
The department protested to the
British government on January 20,
soon after the act was promulgated,
declaring it to be pregnant with pos
sibiities OF undue interference with
American trade" Great Britain re-
piled three weeks later that the act
was "purely a piece Of domestic legis-
lation," and that while the extreme
application would not be exercised at
once, the British government reserved
the right to make just such extensions
ns those announced to-day.
Far-Reaching Injury Likely.
From the British point of view the
act is merely restriction on the
trade of British merchants, forsidding
them to deal with certain classes OF
foreign merchants, and the British gov
ernment insists that its right TO I'M
pose such restrictions on It's nationals
and residents cannot be questioned.
The State Department, however, sees
possibilities of farresching injury TO
American firms. II is not the direct
applications of the measure that are
feared so much as it's remoter effects.
In so far as the act forbds only the
intercourse of German residents here
with British firms, this government Is
inclined 20 make no protest. Ofhcials
point out, however, that as British
steamship lines were forbidden 10
carry the goods Of blacklisted firms
neutral ship owners will follow SUIT
through fear of incurring British al
will and possibly the seizure or de-
tention of their vessels. In this way
the trade of the blacklisted firms, even
with neutral countries, will be de-
stroyed.
Officials See Trade Menace.
II is only a step further, offlcials
declare, to actual interference by Great
Britain with American domestic COM
merce. Firms having IA considerable
trade with Great Britain and her Al
lies will hesitate 10 deal with black
listed merchants through fear of being
placed also on the black list.
Thus the British measures, aimed
ostensibly at forbidding only British
intercourse with enemy subjects, wall
almost certainly result. officials say,
in destroying the entire foreign trade
of German and Austrian firms in this
country, and possibly their domestic
trade as well.
1t is probable that "a soon as official
notification of the new order is re-
ceived. the State Department will ad
dress strong protest to the British
government. What can be done 70 en-
force the protest has not been decided.

Russians Hold Riga Lines

To-days Russian communication
says;
"In the Riga region there was an
artillery duel. The Germans at many
places attempted unsuccessfully to re-
capture lost trenches.
AS the result of the latest skilful
operations of General Sakaroif's troops
in Volhynia. we gained victory on
July l6 which brought us $4,000 pris-
Oners and 80 guns, as announced yes

'Allied-Americans.'
The sur-bronzed Emperor seemed TO

but vigorous correction. His brow
wrinkled.
More than ever during his talk with
Judge Nippert, something i'll concealed
behind the gray hair at his temples,
something empf asized 6y his ruddy,
stern features, impressed his visitor
with the unmistakable idea that the
German ruler could not escape his
cares.
"Such a people as my people are
not doomed 10 defeat" he said. They
are destined TO be victorious, because
every man, woman and child in the
German Empire is doing his or her
share, in the homes and factories, as
well as in the trenches"
Seldom have the German Emperor's
thoughts reached America 80 clearly
since the war began as they were re-
lated yesterday by Judge Nippert, who
in the last three months and half
made an extensive tour through the
devastated area of East Prussia and
Poland, from Memel to the Mazurisn
Lakes.
The Kaiser invited Judge Nippert TO
discuss with him the Polish relief sit
uation, and the American accepted the
mission eagerly. The two met at the
German field headquarters on the West
front and walked and smoked continu-
ally as they chatted.
The Emperor appealed for American
intervention in Russia to seek elem
ency for German civilian prisoners. II
was only through the American En-
bassy, he said, that consideration for
his people could be obtained. The
Kaiser spoke bitterly of the Co,sack
raids. He asked nothing for himself,
he said nothing but the treatment
guaranteed by international dictates
for Germany's soldiers. He sought, he
explained, mercy for civilians, women
and children who had been exposed, he
charged, to the rlgors Of Siberian
winter.

A frock that will grace any occa-

Of sheer batiste and fine val lace
The addition of little very fine hand
embroidery will enrich it to the high

be worn under it make a variety of
oolors possible, for the diaphanous ba-
tiste and the val lace veil all colors
beautifully.
Other sheer cotton fabrics may be
used for dresses of this kind, and the
various founcings, with narrow and
daintily embroidered edgings, are very
effective in little dresses with full
skirts joined to short-waisted bodies.
These bodies are finished at the high
waist line with one or two narrow
frills, made of the embroidered edge
from the founcing, and the short
sleeves are merely underfrills of it.

Two views of very fashionable
couture are given in the picture shown

lions Of the same style in which the
hair is drawn back from the fore
head and brought forward over the
ears. Those who are young eonugh,
or look young enough, and have the
face for 1t. may attempt it as it is
pictured.
The style is not generally becom-
ing but nevertheless has many de-
voices. II makes up In neatness and
finish" what it lacks in softness, and
1t imparts the charm that lies in look
ing well-groomed to those who wear 1t.
To dress it. the hair may be waved
or marcelled and parted at a point
on the forehead above each temple.
The hair at the top of the forehead is
then combed straight back and even
when waved lies fiat to the head with
no hint of fiuffiness about 1t. At the
sides it is brought forward and curved
over the ears and the ends concealed
under coils across the back Of the
head. One or two small ringlets are
allowed over the temple, and recent
version of this style has three short
curIs at the nape of the neck.
The same arrangement of the front
hair appears with the back hair
brought to the top of the head and
coiled into a long puff extending to
the middle of the crown at the back.

BASEBALL IN THE WAR ZONE
Even Strenuous Game Of Battle Can
not Entirely obliterate Desire for
News Of Healthy Sport.

The civilizing influence Of baseball
is being felt in Europe as never be-
fore. The cry that comes from the
trenches for the pink sheets" with
the box scores" shows the human
touch Of the sport. and the games that
have been played between battles have
drawn the attention of thousands who
never before heard the cries that at
tended the progress of the sport from
inning to inning. Baseball Is vfrile as
well as human, and the European SOL
diers are unable to withstand its al
lurements. Interest in the sport is
rapidly spreading, and 1t may yet su-
persede some of the play customs Of
the older countries. It is splendid
safety valve for animal spirits. and
may possibly be found an antidote to
the impulse to fight
With little difficulty we may visual
ize. the spread of this most potent
American influence for peace, until in
time we can see the nations Of Europe
fiocking to the grandstands, there to
cheer their representatives on the dia-
mond rather than the embattled mil
lions now arrayed in conflict. The
international quality Of the game is
well attested by the roster Of any
professional team in the United States.
Men of all races play it, and find In
1t ample scope for their best efforts.
The sooner the nations of Europe take
up baseball and give over some Of
their outdoor occupations the better
it will be for humanity.-Omaha Bee.
