WASHINGTON July ga very serious
controversy between the United States and
Great Britain and her Allies is impending.
This was made plain in official circles to-
day.
Two very serious matters of difference
have arisen between this country and Great
Britain. They threaten the friendly rela-
tions SO far existing.
OF greatest Importance is the British
boycott attempted to he enforced against
American merchants But involved so
deeply that ii cannot he separated is the
British and French interference with Amer
lean mails.
That the latter situation is considered
most serious was shown by the following
authorized statement by Acting Secretary
of state Polk today
The Department is becoming very inn
patient over the failure of Great Britain
to reply to our mail inquiries"
The State Department unofficiay has
brought all pressure to bear upon the Brit.
ish and French Embassies to get a reply
to the mails protests. In each instance the
reply has been that "the embassy officials
are too busy"
The holding up and reading of mail en-
route to and from the United States and
Scandinavian countries has placed certain
British mercantile interests In possession of
Amtrican trade secrets. These letters have
been extracted from the mails and the con.
tents diverted to British rivals of American
merchants and exporters
The State Department today received
from Ambassador Page, at London. a cabled
summary of what the British Foreign Office
told him regarding the blacklist
On the information already received the
department today commenced framing its
protest. Meanwhile Mr.. Page officially will
ask two questions. as follows:
First on what basis of international law
the British Government has framed it's ac.
tion?
Second, in what manner the British Gov.
ernment, and its allies. can declare to be
proper any interference with the business
affairs of the citizens of friendly neutral
nation?
On the replies so made must depend the
language of the, official protest

BALTIMORE, July ga naval battle at

as a result of the German venture of send

Two mighty war submarines are reported
conveying the freight C-boat Bremen to the
Virginia Capes, intending, also, to take the

pedolng the Allied Gordon outside the
American three.mile limit.
Captain Hinsch, of the Ocean Rhederel,
refused to confirm or deny the story.
The German merchant submarine Deutsch-
land, laden with nickel. rubber and perhaps
gold. for the Fatherland. is still here. APP
parently, she Is in shape to take tho open
sea. There is much speculation about the
reason of her delayed start. but the only
persons that know why she waits refuse to
tell. Until a storm or two developed there
was some wise talk to the effect that the
Deutschland was waiting for rough weather
under cover OF which to escape TO the ocean
unobserved by the Allies watchers on shore
and the Allies warships off shore. Others
said submersible didn't need storm In
which to escape detection.
Heavy weather in Baltimore harbor was
not what Captain Koen,g was looking for.
He had II last night. series OF heavy
squalls accompanied by driving rain,
made the going choppy on the Patapsco.
and the rain brought a heavy mist Not
even the heavy searchlights of the tug Tim
minis, moored just outside the barrier of
booms and scows that surrounds the
Deutschland could pierce the muggy atmos-
phere. The storm lasted from early eve
ming until nearly dawn, but the Deutschland
made no move, and observers on tugs that
logged through the rain watched in vain
for the twinkling lights that would mark
the activities of departure. Just before
dawn the Timmns opened UP the boom
across the mouth of the slip and ranged
alongside the Deutschland. But there was
no activity on the submarine herself
Activity on the Deutschland pier today
gave place to mystery and watchful waiting
The submarines cargo had been stored
and trimmed. The boat was ready to slip
her moorings lines at a moments notice
Captain Hinsch ordered discontinued all
passes to the steamship Neckar, living
along side, from which heretofore favored
guests have been allowed to look at the
Deutschland. All the lines about the pier
were frightened. and inquirers and obsery-
ers met with early warnings to keep AWAY
The new shore leave plans of the
Deutschland allowed the captain and a
large part of the crew to attend a local
volksfest for the benefit of the German
Red Cross. The sailors were the heroes
OF the occasion, and Captain Koenig was
forced to make a little speech tina
Baltimore for its friendly reception to the
German ship. The captain caused some ex-
ctement by nearly succumbing to the ter
rife heat. He recovered quickly how
ever.

KEEP THE STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
AND SCHOOLS OUT or POLITICS

That Doctor Bowling has given
the State a thorough intelligent,
non-partisan and efficient admins
tration of its health and sanitation
is universally accepted and believed;
that he has restored confidence in
the ability of the State to cope with
every form of infection ane con-
tagious disease which has previously
deferred the investment of capital,
hindered desirable immigration and
depressed our own people is also
universally accepted and believed.
If Doctor Bowling has made
enemies, it is we'll recognized by
every thinking citizen of the State
why he has incurred this opposition;
that is, because of his uncompromis-
ing honesty of his own convictions
and because of a sincere desire to
serve the people. He has waged the
most systematic and effective fight
against dirt and disease ever carried
on, not only in Louisiana but in the
United States. Doctor Bowling is a
national figure and much of the work
inaugurated by him has been copied
"a -oughout the country. Many are
foi,o" ing his system of lectures on
health ard hygiene, the Louisiana
.'aalth tram the water survey, the
no.. Ny ani quarterly bulletins, COM
