CUT
FROM ARMY BILL.
NO MEXICAN WAR
Chairman Chamberlain and Sen
ator Lee Have Lively Tilt over
Guard on the Border

Washington, July 23-Milions of dollars
in appropriations provided in the army
bills in anticipation of a Mexican cam
paign were voted out of the measure Sat-
urday in the Senate on recommendations
Of the military committee. and Chairman
Chamberlain's declaration that there now
seemed little likelihood of conflict and
that the possibility Of the National Guard
crossing the border seemed remote.
$3e.ooo.ooo Cut
More than $4,000 900 provided for for
eign service pay, maintenance, transpor-
tation and other expenses for an army
afeld on a campaign were Topped off the
$500. 900 bill. and it was said that more
reductions might be made as considera-
ton of the measure progressed.
The reductions were not made without
protest. Senator Lee of Maryland told the
Senate that danger of conflict with Mex
leo was not passed. that it was unwise
to reduce preparations for one, and that
II was deplorable to intimate to Mexico,
by the Senate's action. that the United
States had no serious intention of armed
action. The Senate approved all the COM
mittee's recommendations despite his ar
gument.
Chairman Chamberlain and Senator Lee
had tilt over the number of guardsmen
on the border Mr.. Lee contended he
had evidence that 81 N00 state troops al
ready were there. and that $500 more
we're modified In camps throughout the
states. Chairman Chamberlain declared
Senator Lees figures wrong but declined
to tell the war department figures on the
ground that they were a military secret
Senator Wadsworth declared that near
~ all the delay in getting state troops to
the border was due to failure to get equip
ment from the Philadelphia arsenal. and
he recommended that each state store its
own equipment Despite some criticism
Of the mobilization of the guardsmen
Senator Wadsworth declared it was a
GLORIOUS success" and he doubted IL any
army In the world ever had been trans
ported so long a distance with such good
accommodations for the troops.

BRITISH SUBMIT
PRECEDENT IN
BLACKLIST CASE
Quotes Action President Lincoln
During Civil War and an Act
of Congress in 1862

Washington. July 3.-Anticipating pro-
tests to the state department from the
firms and corporations named in the Brit
ish blacklist, Sir Cecil Spring Rice had
another conference Saturday with Acting
Secretary Polk. Probably it will be left
to the London foreign office to develop
the position Of the British government
officially, but the informal conferences in
Washington are expected to go far to-
ward clarifying the position of each side
and serving to shorten negotiations that
may follow.
1t is understood here that the British
government did not communicate the
blacklist to Ambassador Page because the
order was specifically directed to British
merchants. To have broached the matter
officially to Mr.. Page might have been
taken as an admission Of the right of 9TH
Its operation.
Presidents for Action
As in the case Of the allied blockade
precedence established by the United
States during the Civil war are coming
up again to be used for justification.
The Allies have found that President
Lincoln on Aug. is. 1851, issued a procla-
nation declaring that "all commercial in
tercourse between the states in insurrec-
ton and citizens of other states through
the ports of the United States is unla wfu,
and will remain unlawful until such in
surrections shall cease" This was fol-
1862, authorizing the secretary of tho
treasury to refuse clearance to ships
where their cargoes. "whatever their os-
tensible destination" were intended for
points or places in the possession or under
the control Of insurrectionists against the
United States.
Sufficient Think British
In the British view in these two acts
are found ample warrant for the present
action Of the British government in for
bidding Its own subjects to treat or trade
with persons regarded as enemies Of their
country In pursuance Of this determina-
ton. it is pointed out, the effort has been
made to discriminate In favor Of any
German firm in the United States that has
been engaged solely in its usual line Of
business, if that has been of a general
character.
Some Of the oldest and largest Of the
German banking firms in New York
consequently do not figure in the black
list. even though one of them is known
by the British authorities to have pur
chased the nickel which has been load
ed on the German submarine Deutsch-
land at Baltimore. because that was
in the line of it's business. But where
firms are known to be actually under
German control, where the profits of
their business go, to Germany, or
where Germanic firms or American
firms acting as agents have gone out
of their regular lines Of business to deal
with Germany. British merchants have
been prohibited from dealing with
them.
British authorities here commended
that no legitimate American firm or
corporation will be injured by the black
list nor German firms in the United
States which have confined their oper-
ations to their own lines Of business

OF giving battle to the monster and
