Washington, July 22.-First hand
unofficial information as to lust how
the British blacklist has hit American
firms, is expected to be laid before
President Wilson next week. Word has
reached the White House that represen-
tatives of blacklisted firms are organ.
izing to put the matter personally be-
fore the president. While officials re-.
fused to comment, it was indicated the
state department and the White House
will be glad to get any details from
reliable sources.
What officials want to know, among
other things, is exactly what alleged
acts have been committed by the firms
to bring down the British blacklist on
them.
In the meantime the administration
will do nothing until the report asked
for from Ambassador Page at London
is received.
Probability of the British blacklist.
ing of American firms interfering with
South American trade with the United
States, was admitted by state depart.
ment officials today.
Many OF the boycotted houses, it was
SAID, are large importers of South Am.
eriean products and it is considered
probable British ships win refuse to car
ry goods for these firms.
British authorities may easily control
allied owned lines and It is said may
even indirectly attempt to exert pres.
sure on American and other neutral
lines to bring about the desired effect.
II was pointel ont that tha ooolino
facilities of the West Indies might be
refused those neutral vessels which con.
tinue to carry products for blacklisted
firms.
In the event of serious trouble It %as
suggested in some quarters that the
United States naval coaling station at
Guantanamo, Cuba, might be placed at
the disposal of neutral vessels replacing
the facilities denied them by the Bri-
tish.

London, July GA hail of artil-
iery fire is sweeping both sides in the
great battle line across Flanders. Of
ficial statements from both French and
German commanders emphasized today
the purely arbitrary character of the
days fighting. There were only a few
spots along the great front where
enemies clashed. For the most part it
was give and take affair Of guns.
Military experts here had two ex-
plantations to offer for the almost com
plete cessation of infantry attacks.
first, that the allies are taking the first
step in plan for another forward
jump by levelling away entrenchments
in a deluge Of shells; or second, that
the Germans are seeking by violent
artillery counter attacks, to find a
weak spot by pressure on which they
can relieve the strain Of dents made
in their line by the Anglo French as
saults of the last few days.
General Haig reported today that his
troops along front of nearly forty
miles had at various places been en-
gagged in violent artillery actions, in
terspersed with German gas bomb at
tacks. The French war office detailed
violent bombardments in the Fleury
sector, with the hurling of Germans to
attack under such curtain of fire, in
the Vosges. All attacks were repulsed,
II was stated.

battle at the very doors of America
is a possibility as the result of the Ger
man venture of sending sub.sea fight
ers here.
Two big armed cean-going subma.
rines are reported conveying the sub
marine freignter Bremen to the capes,
intending also to take the Deutschland
out. This story, told the United Press
by a naval expert here today, may
mean that the allied patrol off the
capes will clash with the submarines,
or that Germany plans to try the bold
stroke of tOrpedoing the allied Gordon
outside the American three mile limit
in order to let in the Bremen and let
out the Deutschland, it was declared.
Captain Hinsch of the Ocean Rhede-
rel, was retieent about the sorry, refus-
ing to confirm or deny it.
The Deutschland will be in the
greasy waters of the Patapsco today.
A few provisions were loaded, but she
was ready for dash at any time. AL

After the German submarine sea
freignter Deutschland had failed to
take advantage of a terrible lightning

Shiny Patnpsco shelter early today,
the belief grew that she awaits the
coming of her sister ship, the Bremen.
Conveyed by Submarines
The latter is said to be taking no
chances with the allied patrol but. iu-
stead, is reported to be conveyed by

From sources close to sub-sea fighter

- shington, July &C. President
Wilson desires q far reaching discus.
sion when representatives of the
United States and Mexico get together
in an attempt to solve the Mexican
problem. 1t became positively known
today that he does not wish the scope
of the discussion limited merely to
military matters. Such questions, he
believes, could be settled by military
officials of the two countries. The
president is said to be determined to
avoid giving Carranza or the Mexican
public the slightest impression that the
United States wishes to dictate the
Mexican national policy. For that rea-
son, steps leading up to the sugges-
tion of a commission to discuss the
situation as well as this government s
acceptance of such plan, have been
taken guardedly.
General Carranza has been informed
of the desire of this government to ex.
tend the range of the coming inquiry.
Word is now awaited from him regard
ing this feature. 1t is expected soon
and President Wilson'S formal accept
ance of the commission plan was ex-
pected either today or early next week.
The fact that Luis Cabrera, Mexican
minister of finance, together with men
who have taken an active part in the
economic life of Mexico, are mentioned
the commission. is taken here to indi-
cate the first chief expects the coming
prominently as Carranza's choice Tor
discussion to extend beyond the pale
of military activities. 1t may go so
far as to include the march of events

San Antonio, Texas, July pa de.
liberate, well defined plan exists in the
United States to prove the militia
scheme failure.
Americans may expect shortly def
mite, subtle newspaper campaign
against the militia system. Defects in
the militia will be pointed out and ev.
cry little hitch will be magnified. The
American mind will be slowly poisoned
if possible, against the entire federal.
lied militia plan.
Action of the Merchants association
in New York to recall the New York
militia on the basis that mobilization
of the National Guard as part Of the
regular army has been failure, has
been received in certain circles here
with utmost approval.
All supporters of huge federal army
find hundreds of faults with the militia
encamped here. Before the militia was
called out these federal army supporters
were able to deliver only theories in
support Of their arguments, but now
that the militia lies stretched out along
the border for then to examine, they
discover many facts and incidents
which are being used in certain por.
tions of the press, perhaps unwilling.
ly, in an effort to persuade Americans
to the belief that the militia is an alb.
solute failure.

Deliberate Plan Exists to
Proue Militia a Failure by
Advocates of a Big Army

along the border of representatives of
various organizations that sent help to
the troops in n philanthropic or patri-
otic spirit, will be used as an argument
that the militia depended upon private
assistance. There are a larger number
of these wouldbe helpers, Some are
discovering real needs, which the war
offices of the armies in Europe would
supply the troops without dependence
upon the public, but there is feeling
here that many of them might well
stay home. Some of them are even look
ed upon as anxious to prove the militia
is 50 worthless that it needs outside
aid.
The same interests that were behind
the universal training plan some
months ago have come to life again and
are renewing their efforts by attacking
the militia. Newspaper correspondents
here are becoming aware of the plan
and carefully weigh every militia story
they hear.
That the regular army should support
conscription is only to be expected. In
truth, regular army officers in growing
numbers are appearing on the streets in
San Antonio in civilian clothes in order
to escape being taken for militiamen.
This is the same ancient grudge prevail
ent in every army of the world, even in
the trenches. but the army will have
little hand in the present purpose Of
certain interests to prove the militia
worthless. These interests have spies
among charity and philanthropc work.
ers. 1t cannot be doubted that some of
these charity workers even go so far as
to expect to zee the army rolls In head
quarters, in order to gain data ostensib'

not 30 bad as the public may be led to
believe IL credence is placed in the con
scriptionsts' reports.

TEXANS ARE VOTING
SOME YARDS OF BALLOT
Holding Primaries Today On
Everything From Dog
Licenses Up

Dallas, Texas, July 22.-Texas dem.
ocrats-and that means "the peepel''
today are primarying on everything
from prohibition to dog warden, and
from school bonds up to United States
senator.
Today's voter probably faced more
yards Of ballot than ever before in
his career, and only mas from O'Clock
this morning until o'clock tonight
to figure it all out.
What might be the principal issue,
if anybody but lawyer or a profes.
sional politician could figure it out,
would be the question of "submis-
sion" Of state wide prohibition. The
way it works out, though, the voter
merely is deciding whether the dem.
ocratic nominee to the legislature
shall decide at the next session of the
law making body to put prohibition
up to the people again to decide at a
special election
In 1887 prohibition was defeated by
SO many thousand that no one had
the heart to commit the figures to
memory. Only five years ago, how.
ever, the issue was defeated by only
six thousand in 100000 votes. Texas
has a voting strength of 625,000 now

of this number will go to the polls to.

Lose Some Advantages.

London, July 22.-For the first time
since the allies great push started the
Germans are losing the advantage OF
defenses furnished by nature. Official
dispatches today indicate that with
the impending capture by General
Haig's forces of the whole OF Four
eaux and Delville woods, the German
forces in this particular sector will be
swept out Of last vestige of natural
cover.
This explains the tenaeity with
which the Teutons have clung to these
two spots now being steadily reduced
by a tornado of British artillery fire
to blackened area of stumps and
holes in the ground.
But if the Germans are being forced
out of natural defensive positions, the
British forces are now encountering
the full strength Of the third line
positions Of the cnemy-the trenches.
bomb proofs and shelters which the
Germans have had plenty of time to
perfect, uninterrupted by artillery
fire. Dispatches today said rs;tish
trench stormers found the enemy in
many cases burrowed underground in
abyrinths where roofs were reinforced
by steel plates and concrete. Only the
heaviest of artillery fire has any ef-
.ect OH such defense structures.
Military experts here today pointed
out that the German counter attacks,
except in positions where the terraine
affords natural advantages, have lost
much of their effectiveness. There has
been almost total cessation of the
German pressure on Verdun, support
ing the theory that the crown princes
army has been drained Of part of its
reserves to strengthen the line where
it is under attack by the British and

The French in the Peronne sector

ated much Of the marshy ground in the
