In connection with this matter it was
pointed out today by persons particu-

ment to certain measures, not di-
rectly related to army and navy eXpan-
sion, which are being taken in behalf

Formal Note Regarding Blacklist Of
American Business Men Deals
With Principle.

The formal note to Great Britain, pro-
testing against blacklisting American
business men under the trading with the
enemy act, does not, says Acting Secre-
tary Polk. deal with any of the specific
cases of American firms blacklisted. but
deals wholly with the principle and calls
for action on the part Of Great Britain
After promuigation of the trading with
the enemy act last January the State
Department notified the British govern
rnent Of it's view that possibilities of ''un-
due interference with American COM
nerce were contained in the instrument
The potential. rather than the actual
injury SO far accomplished, is under
stood to be given stress also in the
note sent yesterday.

with Mr.. Polk yesterday and it is be-
lieved he was given a full explanation
Of the basis of this governments pro-
test in international law. Individual

Clears Up Doubt

Incidentally, the British admirars re-
port clears up the doubt that has existed
in the minds Of naval officers as to how
the signals were exchanged between the
mysterious cruiser and the Louisiana. 1t
had been supposed that the exchanges
were by Coston signals. usually employed
in thick weather at night.
Confirmation of the original British
theory. that the appearance of the
strange vessel last Tuesday morning
was part of plot on the part of Ger
man sympathizers in the United States
to assist the captain of the Deutschland
in escaping. is held to be conveyed in
this report of the British admiral. 1t is
pointed out in British circles that one
effect has been to cause the Navy De-
partment to station the American
cruiser North Carolina and several de-
stroyers at the mouth of the chesa-
peake, thereby greatly adding TO the
difficulty OF, British cruisers outside in
maintaining their vigil.

George S. Wilson of the citizens COM
mittee on the loan shark" law ap-

pany, declared that the company had
made bona fide test case of the law

the Court of Appeals, where the con-
viction was sustained.
