of England.
MANY GERMAN FIRMS
HERE NOT NAMED
House That Served Won Papen
and Bank Used by Embassy
Escape Mention.

New York firms affected by the Eng
ish blacklist viewed the situation yester-
day with mixed emotions. Some TOOK
il as a matter of form, saying tnat
England is now doing formally what IL
has been doing informally for months
past. Others took their inclusion as
Joke. A few, injured and angered, pre-
pared to fight, with the assistance Oh
the State Department.
None. however, could quite figure out
how the list was made out or the
formula followed in determining who
is ft to trade with British subjects and
who is not. At first it was thought
that a German name was the quallfica-
ton for a boycott, but only few OF
the New York houses with German
names or German officers doing for
eign trade are affected.
Known transactions with Germany
were supposed to be another deternnin-
ing factor Yet in the list the name
of Chandler Brothers, the banking
house which placed the first German
loan does not appear. Neither does the
house with a German name which pub
lie records show served Captain Won
Papen, the former military attache.
Missing, also, is the name Of bank
that has handled the finances Of the
embassy Nor does the name Of a
banker who frequently entertains Count
Won Bernstorff appear on the list.
One Old Family on List.
Furthermore, in the matter of ma
tionalitv at least one of the men on
the list, Robert W. Howe, secretary Of
Brasch e. Rothenstein, Inc, is of May
flower descent. Edward Stegeman, Jr,
president of this corporation, which
does a general forwarding business and
has its Offices at 80 Broadway, is lead
ing the movement to send committee
to Washington to ask relief. He has
sent letter TO each firm on the list
asking for representatives. at a meeting
soon to be called.
"As soon as hear from these firms"
said Mr.. Stegemann yesterday after
noon, II will arrange place for
meeting. | hope TO have some sort of
an organization effected and commit

Practically every one of the firms put
on the blacklist is controlled by Ameri

our firm. in particular, has been black

threaten the north and south communi-
cations of the town; naturally they do
not even remotely threaten the COM
munications coming east through Cali
cia. But they are steadily reaching
west, northwest and southwest, both
from Kolomca and from Lutsk, as the
Lipa fighting shows. Unless these two
advances are beaten down before very
long they will be both north and south
of Lemberg and threaten the Austrians
and Germans inside the net with en-
velopment This is exactly the way
the Austrians were turned out Of Lem
berg two years ago, but no one can, as
yet, safely forecast that history is
about to repeat itself.
In addition, the Russians are still
striking at Kovel, northwest Of Lutsk,
but this is a different operation and
has latterly resulted in a deadlock
along the Stachod River. For the mo-
ment it is of minor Importance and the
real interest lies in the Lemberg oper-
alton.

TENEMENTHOUSE BOARD
BLAMED FOR BLAZE
Coroner Wagner Investigates
BROOKLYN Fire Fatal to Four.

Ernest c. Wagner, Coroner OF
Brooklyn, following his investigation
of the fire Saturday night in the
Fifth Avenue tenement which caused
the deaths Of the three Miller children
and their mother, yesterday blamed
the Tenement House Department OF
the borough for not seeing that proper
ire escapes and ventilators had been
provided. He said he found no ven
tilator on the roof.
Had there been one" he added,
"the smoke would have come through
the roof and would not have mush-
roomed into the Miller home as 1t did.
All other houses | noticed in that
neighborhood had ventilators. The FIRE
escapes were also bad. They had not
been changed TO conform to the new
law. | find that the Tenement House
officials were careless, and | shall bring

It's southern flank is moving
west, not northwest, and endeavoring
to cut in between the Carpathians and
Lemberg. II has already crossed the
Lemberg -Buda Pesth railroad south of
Delatyn and has taken or is about to
take Delatyn.
Here then is the picture. In a very
wide semi-circle- air line distance
from the Lipa to Delatyn cannot be
less than 125 miles-the Russians are
advancing and converging upon Lem
berg Actually they are thrusting
their fanks at the Lipa and about Kol-
omea forward, and thus carrying the
ends of the net with which they hope
TO encircle Lemberg.
Russians Sixty Miles Away.
1t would be inaccurate to say that
Lemberg is, as yet, gravely threatened
The nearest Russian troops are still
over sixty miles away, and there are
several very strong natural lines Of
defence behind the positions on which
the Austrians and Germans are now
standing. But it is no longer doubtful
what the Russians are trying to do.
The Lipa fighting clearly indicates their
object, and unless all signs fail we
shall see a resumption of activity TO
the south toward Stanislau from Del
atyn and Kolomea before very long.
Roughly speaking, the Russians have
covered about a third of the distance
from their old line before Lutsk and
Dubno toward Lemberg. They have not
made ten miles from Tarnopol; they
have done best in the south along the
Carpathians, where they have ad-
vanced from Czernowitz past Lemberg,
almost half the distance to Lemberg;
but when they started in this region
they were at least two hundred miles
away and this force is still the most
remote from the Lemberg objective.
They have been just seven weeks on
the job.
