Kings People Forbidden To Trade With Fifty Areri- can Concerns, Deemed Friendly To Enemy
IS STRIKING AT
 GERMANS IN U. s.
Also Irnpeaches Firms Send ing Finances To Enemy, In- terfering With Cables, And Otherwise Aiding Them
(sy Review Leased Wire. )

LONDON, July 17.-Tomorrow the British government will publish a list of from 50 to so business firms and individuals domiciled in the United States with which residents of the United Kingdom are forbidden to deal. This will be the first time that any American has been placed on the statutory list which is. better known as the trading with the enemy act blacklist" All other countries have been represented on the list for some time.
 Laming Worthington Evans. con troller of the foreign trade depart ment of the foreign office today gave the Associated Press the following explanation of the latest extension of the trading with the enemy act:
 Opening Other Countries
 Tt has been the policy of the Brit ish government in tho past to follow the theory that in forbidding its sub jects to trade with an enemy, that en- emies domiciled in friendly countries did not come under the act. France and various other countries hold the doctrine that their nationals cannot trade with an enemy. no matter what his domicile Modern conditions of credit and commerce make it possi- ble for an enemy outside belligerent territory to trade with his country. Therefore a considerable body of opinion in this country urged the gov ernment to abandon it's traditional doctrine. and the foreign office. while not going to this extreme. decided simply to prohibit persons domiciled in the United Kingdom from trading with a limited number of individuals, firms or companies of enemy nation ality or associating under the same penalties as though they were trad ing with an enemy"
 Justifies Viewpoint
 The statement continues:
 Tt will be clear that this policy em- bodied in the recent act is purely piSCe oi uOIHeSlic ieSlSidlioh "hiSh only interferes with trade, even in the cases of specified concerns, by prohib- iting persons domiciled in the United Kingdom from dealing with these con cerns. It is a consequence simply and solely, of the right of the state to linn it or control. in the interests of the state. the trade relations with it's own subjects. As regards the United States list, this may roughly be di- vided into four classes:
 Reasons Mostly German
 'First-German firms with head of fees or control in Germany.
 "Second-German firms incorporat-

Ships Guarding Safety Of Germans History Maker, Buzzing All Over River At Baltimore SEARCHLIGHTS
 ALSO ACTIVE Tug Coaling Up To Pilot Ves- sel To Sea. Deutschland Cargo Of Rubber And Mic kel All Aboard
(ey Review Leased Wire.) )

BALTIMORE, July 17.-There were many indications tonight that the sub marine merchantmen Deutschland would be ready to sail tomorrow.
 The tug Thomas F. Timmins, which lowed the submersible to Baltimore from the capes, coaled this afternoon. Capt F. Hinsch of the interned North German Lloyd Neckar. who has charge of the Timmins when she picked up the Deutschland, was seen on the Timmins just before she left the dock to take on coal.
 Shortly before o'clock this after noon Theodore Mottu, foreman of the grand jury accompanied by the chief of police. came to the pier to where the Deutschland is berthed and was permitted to view the submarine from the deck of the Neckar. Captain Hinsch said he regretted that he could not issue a pass to go aboard the Deutschland, but it had been decided not to allow any more visitors.
 Officials of the Eastern Forwarding Company would give no information concerning the sailing of the Deutsch- land or as to how far the slowing of the cargo has proceeded.
 Nickel For Ballast
 It is thought. however. that a quan- tity of nickel. which will do duty as ballast as we'll as form a part of the cargo. has been taken aboard Most of the rubber that is to be taken to Germany is thought to be in the yes sells hold.
 Painted Color Of Sea
 The painting of the Deutschland 3 hull so that it harmonizes with the waters of the Atlantic. even to the white caps has been completed. To night the tug Timmins and the launch Efio are patrolling the river in the vicinity of the submarine and playing their searchlights in all directions.

British Salient Ever Deepen ing While Russians Launch Huge Offensive Against Won Hindenberg
13,OOO AUSTRIANS
 CAPTURED BY RUSS
Teutons In Retreat Southwest Of Lutsk; Hailed As Great Tactical Success By Rus sian Invaders
(sy Review Leased Wire.)

LONDON. July 1.-The successes of the entente allies are following each other with great rapidity. Today brought news of further important gains for them on both the western and eastern fronts, arousing enthu- siasm among the British public hard ly less than that caused by the re- ception of the first news of allied offensive.
 The dispatches said General iSib Douglas Haig today shows that the steady pressure of the British arms is forcing an ever-deepening salient into the German lines and the com mander-inchief for the first time pro- duces evidence in the shape of docu- ments captured from the Germans gIv- ing testimony as to inc high price the Germans are paying in casualties.
 British Gain Mae
 The British have improved their position along almost the whole of their line on the battle front, captur- ing by assault 1900 yards of Ger man second line positions north of the Bazentin-lePetit wood, strong German position at the Waterlot long between Longueval and Guillemont, besides completing the capture of the whole of the village of OvillesEa- Boisselle These gains bring the Brit ish almost af the crest of Albert plateau, where stretches the German third line.
 Big Russ Offensive
 The news from the eastern front today was equally important. The Russian commander, General Kuro- patkin, has launched an offensive against Field Marshal von Hindenburg on the Dvina River and General von Linsingen's troops southwest of Lutsk have been compelled to retire behind the Lipa river, while in the course of Sundays fighting in Volhynia the Russians captured an additional 19,- 900 prisoners and thirty guns. Gen eral von Linsingen's retirement, ac- cording to the Petrograd military critics. represents a great Russian tactical success. It was preceded by heavy fighting in which the Russians smashed the Teuton front on a width of a mile and penetrated several miles into their positions.
 s3o,ooo 900 Daily
 The war now is costing Great Brit ain 6.0o0,OOO pounds sterling daily but with such news as the successes of the entente, this sacrifice is mo- where grudged.
 While the powers of endurance of the Teutonic allies, should they be forced to act entirely on the defensive, have still to be tested, the British nation is full of confidence. It taking nothing for granted, however, but is fully prepared to acquiesce in the advice of its leading ministers, like Foreign Secretary Grey and Chalmers of the Exchequer Me Ken ma, who arc publicly exhorting the nation to the need of patience. MT. McKenna told the house of commons today that nobody could estimate what the nations war expenses might be a month ahead. He also intinatei that it would become necessary this week to ask parliament from their bor- rowing powers.

 All American guards are said to have instructions to fire on any one bearing arms should they fail to halt when ordered to do SO. They are also said to have been instructed to pre- vent any traffic with Mexico here at any other point than the closely guarded gate at the American GUS toms house.
