AMERICAN NEUTRALITY
INVOLVED IN CONTENTION
Trading With Enemy" DEGREES of
European Belligerents Issue Be-
fore U. S. Supreme Court.

The question whether trading with
the enemy" decree of European he'll
liserents may be given effect in United
states federal courts while the war is
in progress is involved in a case now
before the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States. Consent has been granted
by the court to consider the question,
probably during the coming term. which
involves trial of interpretations to
international law. judicial comfy and
American neutrality, affecting both bel
ligerent and American commercial in
terests. Many cases are said to be
pending, awaiting the courts con-
Parties to the Suit.
The case is a suit of Watts, Watts &
Co, British coal company. against the
Cnione Austriaca Di Navigatzione. an
Austrian steamship line, to recover
$4,000 for coal furnished the Austrian
company's ships at Algiers just before
the war began. Austria's trading with
the enemy decree prevented payment
to the British company, which IibeIed
and attached in the federal courts the
Austrian company's steamer Martha
Washington
The Supreme Court has consented to
review an appeal of the British cor
poratlon from dismissal of its suit by
Federal District Judge Eeeder, at New
York, whose decision was later affirmed
by the second circuit court of appeals
Judge Eeeder held that federal courts
mad discretion whether to consider the
litigation, and exercising that discre-
ton, refused to take jurisdiction.
Views of International LAWYERS.
International lawyers believe the
Martha Washington case is peculiarly
timely, because German manufacturers
were recently reported to be threaten
ing suits, both in German and United
States courts, against American i'm
porters for breach of contract in not
paying for goods ordered and held in
Rotterdam and GERMANY by reason of
the allies blockade. The present case
is said to raise for decision the uues-
ton whether trading with the enemy
DEGREES, moratoriums. the blockade and
other war conditions are valid de-
lenses, and whether United States
courts will take Jurisdiction of such
litigation.
American Neutrality Involved,
That American neutrality is involved
in the alleged enforcement of Austria's
trading with the enemy" decree pre-
venting collection in United States
courts from the Austrian steamship
company Is represented to the Supreme
Court by the British coal corporation
It contends that by Diminishing Its suit
against the Austrian shipping con-
cerp the federal courts recognize, give
full force to and actually enforce the
Austrian trading with the enemy" de-
cree. This. the court is told, is I'M
neutral.
The Austrian company, in its brief,
contends that it would be unneutrai
for the American courts to force il to

 CHIHUAHUA RAID Report Is That Bandit Will Attack JuareZ at Same Time to Open Con-
 municatiOn

Fl Paso, Tex, December N.-Francisco Villas forces are preparing to attack Chihuahua City and Juarez simultaneous ly in an effort to establish railroad traf- fc between the border and Torreon, IL was said late today by a man known to be close to Villa.
 A Mexican refugee who arrived here today from Torreon said Villa was pre- pairing to move north with 5000 men 10 attack Chihuahua City. He reported an- other force of 800 Villa followers to have been yesterday at Calderon ranch 65 miles southeast of Juarez.
 Skirmishing between the rebels at Cal deron and the de facto troops which left Juarez yesterday for Chihuahua City was reported here late today. but could not be confirmed in Juarez. The Villa forces southeast of Juarez are commanded by Col. Manuel Ochoa and Col Mariana Ia meg, according to deserter, who arrived at the border yesterday from the Cal deron ranch. The Villa followers were Juarez as soon Villa started his attack on Chihuahua City.
 It is not believed here that Villa has any direct tactical connection with the operations reported from the eastern mill itary zone, near San Luis Potos. Tam pico and Monterey but General Carrera Torres and the Cedilla brothers are said to be operating in that section under the Villa banner.
 The occupation of San Luis Potosi by the Villa forces Monday was reaffirmed today by rren known to be close to Villa, but was denied by Carranza Consul Sor- ano Bravo, who said a message had been received today at Laredo, Tex, from San Luis Potosi.

Vanderbilt FiDe Defeats
 Strong Y.M.C.A. Quintet
Passing Vandy Players is GoodLong Tys For Goals Hurt Locals Chances-Large Crowd Sees Close Contest
 Final Score 36 to 30

The Vanderbilt basketball five gave Bir- mingham fans their initial surprise of the season last night, when they defeated the strong quintet of the Young Men S Christian association in one of the closest contested games ever played on the ''Y'' court. The final score was S6 to 30.
 The game was hard fought through out with the Commodores leading by a slight margin after the first few minutes. The first half ended with the score IA to 12 in favor of the Commodores and a series of field goals in the second half by Tommy zerfoss six, to be exact in the first few minutes, put the game on the ice.
 The Commodores passing was excellent. Josh Cody, the big forward, was the main passer, while Blair and Ray also shared in the honors.
 The failure of the locals to pass was very costly Time after time the long shots of the "Y' forwards went wild to be caught by an alert Vandy guard and the ball started pack up the field The Vandy guard covered the field under the basket well but with more efficient passing, the locals could have nosed out a victory
 Cody and Ray did practically all of the offensive work in the first half, especially the big center, who scored five goals.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-12-28

The majority of them were from directly under the basket Cody made his two from difficult angles.
 Brooks did all of the scoring for the "Y' in the first half, scoring four goals. Bowron scored two while Brooks regis tered two foul goals.
 Lewis Smith, the former Alabama for ward, got loose in the second half and registered five goals, but Zerfoss' accurate shooting offset this. Gleaves slipped down from guard and registered a pair of counters which practically clinched the game for his team.
 The entire Vandy aggregation played an excellent game. Smith played the best game for the locals. An unusually large crowd witnessed the game.
 The Commodores appear to be much stronger than last season. Vandy ap pears here again on January 1 against the Birmingham Athletic club, who they defeated last year by very close mar gin.
 The lineup:
