The Blacklist Grows.

France and Italy have followed the lead of Great
Britain in procaimng blacksts of neutral individuals
and firms with which Frenchmen and Italians are for
hidden to trade In doing they have greatly increased
the injury American merchants, OF which complaint
was made by the American state department to Great
Britain.
Certain it is that the blacklist movement was taken
in concert according predetermined plan, probably
adopted at the conference of the entente allies
at Paris.
On the American blacklist many firms which
strongly deny they have been trading with the enemies
of the allies shipping goods destined to reach the
central powers But although Great Britain has semi
officially announced willingness to remove individuals
or firms from the blacklist provided they are able to
prove their nnofensive character the list has been
heightened rather than shortened, since 1t was first
promulgated.
The action of France and Italy have greatly increased
the injury to American trade while Great Britain de-
lays answer to the American protest In this, as iT
ninstration at Washington will probably allow the mat
ter TO hang fire indefinitely, giving Great Britain all the
time desired for consideration consultation and Procras
tiuation-and nothing OF satisfactory to the
United States will come of it.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
1t seems the progressive party, OF
which Teddy" Roosevelt was leader,
has died prematurely" because it's
leader refused to lead his own party.
Teddy wasn't pussy footing" o, no!
He simply was politician enough to
know that he could never be elected
president of these United States of
America as prospective "third-terrl
aspirant or candidate for the presi
dency." The American people, re-
regardless of party politics, would not
stand fer such humbug or ''tomfool-
cry" don't you know, and so Teddy
went over into the Hughes republican
camp and left the great progressive
party as a body of men with princi-
pies and honest convictions, to
shift for itself" SO far as he was con-
cerned. 1t simply seems to be a case
with him of trying any old thing to
beat Woodrow Wilson" 1t must
really be surprising and amazing to
some genuine progressives to find
Teddy Roosevelt fright back with
the party of Penrose, Crane, Barns,
Lodge, Root ct al. I predict this
body of politicians will throw him
down good and hard after the presi-
