WILSON PROTESTS BLACKLIST
HOLDS BRITISH ACT INVASION OF
NEUTRAL RIGHTS.
Insists On Specific Guarantees at Once
demands Firms Be Allowed to
Fill Contracts.

Washington, July 28.-President
Wilson has cabled a note to Great
Britain objecting to the blacklisting
of American firms as an invasion of
neutral rights
Although Acting Secretary Polk was
noncommittal on the contents of the
note cabled to Ambassador Page, it
was limited in official circles that the
protest of the American government
was divided into two parts, as follows:
FNst-Insistence on specific guaran-
ties as to the effect of the blacklisting
of American firms.
Second-Denial Of Great Britain's
contention of it's right to establish a
blacklist and discussion of whole ques-
ton of principle of such a boycott.
Want Guarantees.
1t is stated that, although the ques-
ton OF the principle involved will be
threshed out in the usual time neces-
sary for diplomatic exchanges, the spe-
cific guarantees are wanted Immediate
ly. The guarantees reported to have
been demanded are:
That blacklisted firms be allowed to
fill their standing contracts and COL
lect their standing debts.
That there be no extension of the
blacklist to American firms dealing
with blacklisted firms in neutral coun-
tries or the United States.
That the blacklisted firms be not
prevented from dealing with neutral
countries, particularly South America.

Germans Moved From verdun

London, July 27.-The. battle on the
Somme front which began Saturday
at midnight and has continued since
with brief lulls, is still being fought
by British and Germans with the ut
most stubbornness. An indication Of
the importance the Germans attach to
defending their third line is found in
the report Of General Haig, the British
commander, and in the German admis-
sion that troops have been brought
from before Verdun in order to lend
all possible strength to General Won
Einem.

FARM LOAN BOARD
NAMED BY WILSON
WILL DIVIDE COUNTRY INTO
TWELVE FEDERAL LAND BANK
DISTRICTS UNDER NEW LAW.
2 NORTHWEST MEN CHOSEN
Hearings on the Designation Of Dis
tricts and Location of Banks to Be-
gin in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Capitals
Will Be Visited by Commission.

Washington, July 20. - Division of
the country into twelve federal land
bank districts and location of federal
lands banks in each of them under
the new rural credits law will be un-
dertaken soon by the federal farm loan
board, four Of whose members have
been nominated by President Wilson.
Secretary McAdoo, who, as an ex-
ofticio member completes the board,
said, however, that he believes it
would be impossible to conclude the
organization Of the system in less than
six months, and that it might not be
in actual operation before next spring.
Four Members Nominated.
The four men nominated as mem
bers of the board are Charles E. Lob
dell of Kansas; George w. Norris, Of
Pennsylvania: w. S. A. Smith of Iowa
and Herbert Quick, cerdited to West
Virginia, but for many years a resi-
dent of Sioux City.
The President is expected to desig-
nate either Mr.. Norris or Mr.. Quick,
the Democratic members of the board,
to act as farm loan commissioner and
executive head of the farm loan sys-
tenn.
To Visit State Capitals.
Until the Senate acts upon the NOM
nations no date for a meeting can be
set, but it was believed probable that
the members would get together with
in two weeks. Hearing on the des-
ignation of districts and the location
of banks probably will begin some time
in September.
The first of these is expected to be
held here, and most of the state CAPT.
tails will probably be visited before
they are concluded. That will require
several months and other technical
steps provided in the act preliminary
to actual organization of the banks
probably will prevent operation of the
system before February or March.

HUNDRED PERSONS SLAIN BY
MEXICAN BANDITS

Laredo, Texas, November 12-An in
discriminate massacre of nearly 100
women, children and Carranza soldiers
who were travelling on a train near
Contreras, State of Morelos. which was
attacked by Zapata followers, is re-
ported in Mexico City newspaper re-
ceived here today. After the attack on
the train the dead lay in piles beside
the cars, the papers state.
Only one person. so far as known,
escaped death at the hands of the ban
dts. He was Captain Antonio Priegos.
The attack took place November Z.
The passenger train, conveyed by a
military train eight kilometers in ad-
vance, was halted in mountain will
derness after the military train had
been allowed to pass unmolested.
For fifteen minutes the Zapatistas
kept uD the slaughter, staying men and
women who prayed for mercy, and
killing the babies who accompanied
their mothers, the papers declare.
Soldiers aboard the passenger train
were without their accoutrements and
unable to offer any resistance. Among
the list Of dead given in the Mexico
City papers is the name of Colonel
Carido Alfaro, two Majors and three
Captains.
When a relief train reached the
scene of the attack several hours after
II took place the zapastistas had scat
tered into the hills. They had looted
the express car and It's valuables be-
fore departing.

TEDDY GROOMED FOR BIG BAT
TIE 4 YEARS HENCE

Washington, November 12-That the
Republicans will try to do little
housekeeping soon is the general
opinion here, where politicians fore
gather and where interest in the poll
teal trend is greater, perhaps, tnan IN
any other part in the United States.
The editorial of that seasoned con-
sentative veteran, General Harrison
Gray Otis of California, in which he
read the riot act to Governor Hiram
Johnson and made him the target for
a charge of party treachery and the
Governors hot reply are subjects of
interesting debate here and reflect the
general situation.
From the region west of the Missis-
sippi comes the demand that the Re-
publicans must go west of the Rather
of Waters" for the next standard
bearer. According to some politicians,
this might mean a quiet bid for John
son; it might mean Senator Borah of
Idaho These men say the center OF
political influence has shifted west of
the Mississippi and that Governor and
Senator-elect johnson will figure in
the calculations for the head of the
national ticket four years from now.
But first and most conspicuous in
the discussion is the demand that Colo
mel Roosevelt shall be called from his
announced retirement into the shades
of grandfathers and domesticity,
and if most of the conversation heard
in Republican circles just now is to be
credited as passingly fair prophecy the
Colonel will make the next nomination
or accept it.
There is the way one politician puts
it: "If Roosevelt is alive the ticket
will be Roosevelt and Johnson" refer
ring to 1920, which is four years ahead.
IF the Colonel for any reason can
not be named, then look out for Hiram
Johnson"

~ PAPERS FOR WHEAT EMBARGO;
81 AGAINST

Columbus, Ohio, November 12-Of
175 newspapers throughout the United
States which participated in a poll
conducted by the National Association
of Master Bakers to determine public
sentiment on the question of an EN-
barge on wheat, seventy-four have en-
pressed themselves as in favor of such
an embargo or as inclined to such
views where no editorial stand has
been taken on the subject, according
to report made public here tonight.
Fifty-four expressed themselves as
definitely opposed to an embargo. The
remaining papers did not answer in
full the questions asked and the in
formation sought was not given.
The sentiment in favor of the en-
bargOs seems to be developed most
largely i'm the Northern states, while
the Southern states appear to be
against it. Several of the Southern
editors expressed themselves as re-
garding an embargo or export tax as
war measure.
Answering a question as to the SEN
timent of their communities in regard
to the project forty-four papers re-
ported their communities as in favor
and nineteen against the measure.
The detailed result of the poll, it is
contemplated, will be placed before
President Wilson and the Departments
of Agriculture and Commerce within
the month.
The Master Bakers Association an
nounced that the poll was taken in
furtheranee of an effort to conserve
American crops to secure lower prices
of -four in this country.

&. a. =. HAS LEAD IN LOWER
HOUSE ON LATE RETURNS

Washington, November 12-Mem-
bcrs of the House of Representatives
in the newly elected SiXty-hfth Con-
gress face one of the most uncertain
Organization situations in the history
Of the government.
With a few districts still in doubt
the Republicans appear to have
plurality of four or five members and
when 1t is figured that an independ-
cnt elected in Massachusetts and a
Progressive elected i'm Minnesota pro-
badly will vote with them for organi-
zation purposes. Independence of ac-
ton has characterized a number of the
reelected members on the Republican
side, however, and their attitude to-
ward Democratic Legislation in the last
few years has given Democratic lead
ers cause for hope that some of them
might carry their independence into
the organization of the next House.
On the face of the unofficial returns
the political division of the House is
so close that an effective and certain
working majority does not exist
While. there might be a few changes
when the official returns are counted,
the chances are that these would not
materially alter the general result. in
view of the situation, it is regarded
by Democratic leaders as improbable
that President Wilson will call an
extra session of the new Congress
next spring. In that case the organi-
cation fight will not come until the
regular session i'm December, 1917,
which will mean maneuvering for
more than a year, in the contest for
Speakership of the House and the or
ganizatiOn of important committees.
AS matters stand today the candi-
date of the Republicans for Speaker
will be James r. Mann, the present
minority leader, and Speaker Clark
generally is regarded as the Demo-
cratic choice to succeed himself Al
ready, however, there are rumbings
o. uncertainties because of close po-
litical division.
