WASHINGTON STILL THINK
WILL MOVE TO FORT MYEU

Washington. n. C.. July 2i.-Ai-
though II IS thought at the War De
partment that the Virginia Militia stu
remaining in the State may ultimately
occupy the camping ground at Fort
Myer. Va, Just across the Potomac
from Washington now occupied by the
District OF Columbia Guards II IS
not considered likely this will be done
until all the District of Columbia
troops leave for the border. probably
tho middle OF next week.
The official reason given at the de-
pnrtment for the proposed change is
that the camp grounds at Richmond
are so small as to make drilling diff
cult. There has been much speculation
because OF the erection OF seem
insly permanent kitchens and other
fixtures about tho Fort Myer Camp.
AS the departure next week of the
District OF Columbia guardsmen for
the border Is now practically assured,
the reason for the permanent struc-
lures Is thought to be that other
troops are expected to camp on the
grounds. This is in addition to tbs
fact that two days ago officials OF the
army were directed to report on wheth-
er there was "a suitable camping ground
there for the Virginia troops makes IT
look probable that these troops will be
the Virginia Militia. So far the Fort
Myer camp has proved ideal as the
living place for n large body of troops

STATE DEPARTMENT
MOVES ON BLACKLIST
President Said TO BE Opposed to Legis-
lation Looking to Retaiiatory
Action
SETTLE NATTER BY DIPLOMACY
Strong Demand for Legislative Meas
ures With Teeth in Them--Cabinet
Threshes Over Situation.

Washington, July 21.--The State
Department took its first decisive &C.
ton against the British blacklist OF
American citizens when representa-.
lions were made to the British gov
eminent in behalf of several firms
and individuals outlawed by England
In making these representations the
State Department explained its action
was entirely informal. The British
government was given evidence fur
nished by blacklisted exporters show
ing there was no legal justification
whatever for including their names
on the blacklist.
In each case the State Department
specifically reserved the principle in
volved, which will be taken up when
formal protest Is made. The British
blacklist was discussed at length at
the cabinet meeting today. 1t was
decided to send a vigorous protest to
Great Britain after all the facts have
been officially obtained in response to
an inquiry already directed to the
English government. An indication of
the form this protest will take was
given by a high administration off,
cial, who said:
Must Not Interfere With This Country.
The United States recognizes Great
Britain's right 10 adjust the trade of
it's own nationals in their own coun-
try, but the United States seriously
objects to interference with trade in
this country.
The state Department Will take the
position that the British blacklist, as
1t interferes with innocent American
trade with neutrals. is indefensibie
and wrong in principle.
No definite decision has been
reached as to the manner in which
the administration will combat the
British boycott in the event that salts
factory results cannot be obtained by
formal protest.
President Wilson was represented
tween the United States and Great
Britain and as opposed TO retaliatory
legislation, The President is under
stood to have stood out against any
legislative measures in discussing the
question with his cabinet today. He
believes the matter can be settled by
diplomacy. It was said.
Many Want Legislative Action.
There was strong demand in in
fluential administration circles for leg
islative action. One official, who has
been closely identified with the nego-
tiations with the British government
on trade restrictions. said he was con-
fldent diplomatic protest would fail in
this case as it had failed in all previ-

The withdra wal OF the Pershing ex-

Carranza suggested that all these
questions be determined by q com

OF Mexicans and Americans.
The State Department announced
today that no decision had been
reached on any OF the propositions.
II was strongly intlmated that the

that II Was not considered desirable
that this issue should be determined

The present expectation is that the
United States will agree to the APP

Carrauza will be told the withdrawal
of the American troops is entirely a
military matter TO be determined by
future events on the border.
In acquainting Carranza with this
