GREAT BRITAIN'S BOYCOTT
President Wilson Considering Armed
Neutrality.

1T was intinlated in administra.
ton circles yesterday that President
Wilson is considering armed neutral
ity with which to defeat Great Brit
aims warfare upon American neu-
trail foreign trade, under the guisc
of a blacklist Of american indivi-
duals and firms.
The President was represented as
being disturbed by the evidences of
British aggression at the expense Of
the United States and to have indi-
Gated to members of the Cabinet his
determination to bring Great Britain
to account.
The action under consideration, II
was said, is twofold:
First, the furnishing of public yes
sells is q convoy for merchant ships
flying the American flag.
Second, the purchase frdm Ger
man owners of several large ships
which have been tied up in this coun-
try since the war began.
Instead Of refusing to sell to
Great Britain, it was stated, the
United States may furnish an arm
ed convoy which would prevent in
reference of any kind by English
and French warships with the Am
erican merchant ships so protected.
The United States has treaties
with several countries providing that
merchant vessels flying the Ameri-
can flag, engaged in innocent trade
and accompanied by a public ship,
which would include lighthouse tend
ers, revenue cutters or warships,
shall not be subject to visit and
search.
An authority declared yesterday
that by sending conveys with AM
erican trading vessels to Scandina-
via, Holland and South America,
Great Britain, under no preteXt,
could hold them up at sea and divert
them to Kirkwall, and that the black
list would be killed.

The good fielding and heavy hlttins
by the members of the Cardinals
when hits meant runs is the cause u
Tho succes S. of that team.
Jimmy Quayle, pitching for the
White sox, performed in big league
stvle and deserved to win but MS
teammates failed to aid him when
thew had various opportunities to put
runs over the plate. Robinson be-
hind the bat caught a most crealeaole
game for the losers.
Next Sunday the Cardinals and the
Eagles. will meet in their first rouna
for championship honors and a nhe
came should be the result as DOM

rather evenly matched, however, and
no one can yet pick q winner. Inc
