BLACKLIST NOTE
IS NOW COMPLETE
Protest to England From
Washington Will Go For
ward in Few Days

'-s emr :. <vJ
Washington. July ~ President L'-ca
and state oepnl7,.-.ent officials practically
have completed preparation of protest
against the PRONUNCIATION of blacklist
of American firms under the British
trading with the enemy act. 1t was said
today that the communication would be
sent to London probably within the next
few days. 1t will discuss the principles
involved and will not interfere with the
continuance of informal discussions be-
tween representatives of the two govern
ments over the cases of individual firms
included in the blacklist.
State department officials believe that
their study of the blacklist clearly has
proved that it Injuries American firms in
violation of international law. Acting
Secretary Polk talked over with President
Wilson today facts laid before him by the
firms affected, and the precedents on
which the United States will act
When the principles involved are taken
up with the British government it is ex-
pected that that issue also will be taken
with France, Russia and Italy. 1t is I'M
aaSlStOOQ lClC THAT III duilOuIlClHS It's
blacklist Great Britain really acted in de-
ference to her allies.
London, July 26-The foreign trade de-
partment of the foreign office declines
either to confirm or deny the story
printed here today to the effect that New
York banks were consulted by the British
officials before the blacklist was pub
lished.
Unofficially it is admitted that it is
possible some such steps may have been
taken, but the department here directly
concerned has no knowledge of such ne
gotiations. Steps already are being taken
here by the foreign trade department to
consult directly with a number of firms
on the list in an effort to secure their
removal. The government is anxious to
expedite such inquiries and declares that
no obstacles will be placed in the way of
any firm desiring to prove it's innocence.
1t is considered probable by neutral
diplomats here that the British govern
ment will make every effort to soften any
bad effect the list may have had by direct
negotiation with the blacklisted firms in
an effort to have them removed as the
foreig notice has so definitely satisfied
itself as to the legality of the blacklist
that diplomatic intervention is hardly
likely to cause any modification of the
act.
1t is not expected that the blacklist
controversy will assume the form of a
protest before the return of Walter Hines
Page, the American ambassador, who is
going to the United States on vacation.
Ambassador Page will take home unde-
cided the mail detention issue, but he
carries the promise that reply to the
American representations will be forth
coming soon. Concessions are expected
with <reoa rd to the Operati Of the Gem
sorship, but no hope is expressed that
the note will make any concessions in

today. the United States cruiser North
Carolina and three torpedo-boat destroyer
neutrality duty steamed out beyond Cape
Henry and took up positions near the
allied cruisers, one of which paid an an
nouncement visit to lower Chesapeake
Bay Monday night.
Officials under the direction of both
the navy and treasury departments work
ed tirelessly today in an effort to OBJ
tain all the details of the visit of the
foreign cruiser to American waters.
Despite rumors that a trading vessel
had been mistaken for the cruiser and
similar reports, all Investigations brought
the inquisitors back to the original story
of the affair as told by officers of the
warship Louisiana and the crew of the col
ier Neptune last night. They had de-
clared unequivocally that they recognized
a strange boat that passed them in the
capes as an English man-o'-war.
Five men, it is understood including
Commander w. w. Phelps, saw the
cruiser and her signals from the bridge
of the Louisiana. The signals were read
by expert signalmen who communicated
them to the officers. The class of signals
used by the cruiser, known as double
blinkers," it was declared today by ex-
perts, never are found on any vessel but
warshps
Tn explanation for the failure of the
Virginia and Maryland pilot boats to see
the cruiser. it was said that both were
headed northeast outward to set when
the Louisiana. the cruiser and the Nep-
tune steamed into the capes in the order
named. 1t was perhaps two miles inside
the capes that the Louisiana dropped
anchor and saw the cruiser at distance
of about 200 yards, carrying man of war
lights. AS is customary with warships,
the Louisiana asked the unidentified YES
sci her name. Then came back the reply
by blinkers English cruiser"
Several persons who were on the Lousi-
ana, including some officers, declared to-
day that they clearly saw gun ports on
the cruiser.
