FLEET OF WARSHIPS
 ENROLLING THE CAFES.
Said to Be Hidden in Unfrequented Waters of Southern Drill Grounds.

Norfolk, Va. July 24-AIthough the ru1nor that fleet lay behind the war ships patrolling the capes lacked veri- ffcation from any official source, many shipping men here believed it was true. They advanced the theory that a con- siderable force of war vessels might remain virtually hidden in the unfre- quented waters of the southern drill grounds, forming a second line for in- terception of the Deutschland should she pass the patrol ships safely and then, thinking herself safe, rise to the surface.
 As the report of the presence of a considerable allied force outside the capes gained ground the belief that the Bremen might have been captured or destroyed was more widely accept ed. There was no tangible evidence. however, to support it.

GREAT BRITAiN'S
 COMMERCIAL BLACKLIST
Will Call Forth Vigorous Action by
 Washington Authorities.

Washington. July 24-Administra- ton officials gave further evidence to- day that they were preparing to take vigorous action to prevent injury to American firms through Great Brit aims prOmulgatiOn of a commercial blacklist under the Trading With the Enemy Act. President Wilson told callers he was much concerned over the probabilities of the British order and there were indications at the state department that some step might be taken soon unless a reply was forth coming to the informal inquiries on the subject made by Ambassador Page at London.
 Already the department has ac- cumulated considerable information regarding the blacklist, sufficient, it was said by one official tonight to warrant action if there was no prom ise of an immediate explanation. It was intimated that some announce ment might be made tomorrow. In formation reaching the department in diCates that the allied nations are planning for united action along the lines of the Trading With the Enemy Act. Officials realize that such a de- VelOpment might greatly aggraVate the di Culties confronting firms placed on the blacklist and compIiCate diplomatic negotiations on the subject.
 The principle of a boycott of firms incorporated under American law to engage in legitimate is particularly obnoxious to officials here. InfOrma- ton is desired as to just how far the British Trading With the Enemy Act will go beyond the primary effect up on the British merchant. If it is to affect any American individual firm or COrpOratiOn doing business with a neutral country it is believed certain insistent representations will result.
 The length to which the federal gov ernment went during the Civil war in prohibiting American citizens from trading with the Confederate states may be taken as a measure by the de- partment in arriving at a conclusion as to how far it is willing to admit Iega litv of the act

No Longer Menace to Humans.
Anthrax as an animal disease has
been carefully studied of recent years,
but its occasional appearance among
human beings has never attracted any
attention until recently. Although it
is described in most medical text books
many physicians are not familiar with
its symptoms. This ignorance of the
disease is the chief source of danger.
With preventive measures and cures
that have been perfected within the
last few years there is no reason why
1t should be a menace to human life.
