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 2S.-President
Wilson has cabled note to Great
Britain oEjecting 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:
Fixst-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 tC
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.

Directed to See That Submarine
Deutschland Is Not Attacked With
in Three-MiIe Limit, Is Belief
Held Violation Of Courtesy.

New York, July 2S.-Aroused by an
official report from the commander OF
the battleship Louisiana that mys-
terious ship, purporting to be a Brit
ish cruiser had passed into the mouth
of Chesapeake bay early in the
morning, the Navy department order
ed the armored cruiser North Caro-
lima and three destroyers to neutrality
duty off Cape Henry.
According to reports from Norfolk,
the North Carolina and two destroyers
steamed out beyond Cape Henry and
took up positions near the British
cruisers.
To Prevent Illegal Attack.
Officials maintained unusual secrecy
regarding the matter and would not
disclose just what instructions were
sent to the commander of the North
Carolina.
1t was assumed, however, that he
had been directed to see that the Ger
man merchant submarine Deutsch-
land, now preparing for her return
trip to Germany, is not attacked by
Allied war vessels within the three
mile limit and that American neutral
ity is not otherwise violated.
British Commander Guilty.
Navy officers agreed that if the ship
sighted from the Louisiana was a
British cruiser the commander of the
vessel had been guilty of breach OF
naval practice and had violated navi
cation laws in cruising within Amer
lean territorial waters without proper
lights.

FARM LOAN BOARD

DISTRICTS UNDER NEW LAW.
2 NORTHWEST MEN CHOSEN
Hearings on the Designation of Dis
tricts and Location of Banks to Be-
gin in September-State 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 I'M
dertaken soon by the federal farm loan
board, fOur of whose members have
been nominated by President Wilson.
Secretary McAdoo, who, as an ex-
officio 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 resi-
dent of Sioux City.
The President is expected to deslg-
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 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.

Judge Dubuisson's Dilemma.

Judge E. B. Dubuisson of St.
Landry, nominated for attorney
general on Mr.. Parker's mongrel
political ticket because the Dem
ocratic candidate for attorney
general, Judge A. V. Coco, had
the hardwood to criticise Mr..
Parker's politics in both French
and English. has discovered that
he occupies an anomalous posi-
ton as the anointed of Mr.. Park
er's self-instituted convention. :"
Under the law Judge Dubuisson
is prohibited from becoming a
candidate for attorney general in
Mr.. Parker's party, whatever
that party happens to be, be-
cause only six weeks ago he vot-
ed in the Democratic primary.
It was to my lifelong friend.
Dubuisson," that Mr.. Parker
turned the other day at Eunice
when he was asked the point
blank question by Mr.. James j.
Lewis whether or not he consid-
cred it honorable for a Democrat
voting for either Mr.. Barrett or
Col. Pleasant in the primary to
vote for him in the general cleo
ton. Judge Dubuisson was ready
with long legal opinion as to
the right of voter in the pri-
mary, under the law, to disre-
gard the primary results and vote
as he might deem fit in the gen.
eral election. This, of course,
didn't answer Mr.. Lewis ques-
ton, for the simple reason that
everybody knows it is not a mat
ter of law, but of honor and NOR
ais. Mr.. Lewis didn't ask Mr..
PafHoessif it was LAWFUL to
knife the n0AsiRee of a primary
in which one had<participated.
but if it was HONORABLE to
do so. Mr.. Parker lodged and
Judge Dubuisson evaded the is
sue.
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1916-03-18

Now it transpires that while
Judge Dubuisson was armed with
a learned disquisition upon the
legal status of the voter who had
taken part in the Democratic
primary, he was in absolute ig-
norance of his own status as a
candidate before the people. He
knew that the voter who had
taken part in a primary could le-
gally bolt the nominees in the en-
suing election, but he didn't
know that one who had voted in
the primary could not become a
candidate for Office of an oppos-
ing party in the election.
The only difference between
Judge Dubuisson and the aver
age voter who participated in the
primary of January Is is that
Judge Dubuisson is forbidden by
law from playing the part of
traitor to the nominees of that
primary, while the law leaves
this question to the conscience
and sense of honor of the aver
age voter. The principle involv-
ed is exactly the same.
Here the trite expression APP
plies very forcibly. Mr.. Parker
and his candidate for attorney
general are ''hoist by their own
petard. - Shreveport Times.

The management of the Birmingham Motor Speedway company officially an- nounced last night that a contract for the building of the Birmingham speed- way, grandstands, repair pits and other equipment had been signed with Hinkel & Sullivan, Cincinnati contractors. and that work would be started within the next week or ten days.
 The contract calls for an expenditure of $5OO,O00 and stipulates that the work must be completed as soon as possible. The speedway will be built around the lake of the Birmingham Motor and Country club.
 The successful bidders have been in the city negotiating with the speedway officials for several days. Messrs Hinkel and Sullivan left for Cincinnati last night to complete details for the beginning of the actual construction. All work will be done by local contractors. They will be awarded subcontracts by Hinkel & Sullivan, who will have supervision of the work All material used will ba bought in Birmingham.

 In addition to the elliptical course, hairpin curves and sharp turns de- mandng skilled drivers and afford1ng hair-raising thrills for the spectators have been arranged for. The track will be built five feet above the surface of the lake and will gradually rise as the outer edge is reached. It is estimated that a speed of 40 miles an hour may be made on this style track.
 An effort will be made to improve over any other speedway in the country. The plans have been carefully gone over by experts in the speedway game and they have been declared perfect Ralph DePalma, one of the worlds greatest drivers, has approved the plans and com 1nented especially on the provision for safety.
 The first race will. in all proba- bility, be held in the early fall and will be of international interest. Ex- cellent facilities for reaching the speed way may be had.
