.RECANT ON BLACKLIST
U. ss.-9Demands~ Specific. Guarantees
and Questions Britain's Right.

Washington, July 27.@The protest
by the. United . States to England
against the latter's commercial black
list, which the state department an
nounced will go forward in a few
days, will be divided into two parts.
In the first place this government will
insist on specific guarantees as to eff
feet of the blacklist of American
firms. In the second, the whole ques-
ton of the principle of such boycott
will be entered into, the United States
resisting England,s contention of her
right to establish it.
The specific guarantees are wanted
Immediately.
The matter of the principle at stake
will be threshed out in the time it
takes for necessary diplomatic ex-
changes. gt
The guarantees demanded are:
That blacklisted firms be allowed to
fill their standing contracts and col
lect their standing debts.
That there be no extension of the
blacklist to American firms dealing
with blacklisted firms in neutral
countries or the United States.
That the b1acklisted firms be not
prevented from dealing with neutral
countries, particularly South America

MAY BREAK SOON
Storm Brewing in Mexico, U. s.
Officials Believe.
Expect Negotiations Under Way
To Be Swept Aside.
CARRANzA MUST, BACK DOWN
Conference May Split Over
Question of Expedition.
Villa Soon in Position to En-
danger First Chief.

Washington, July 27.-WelI inform
ed state department officials intimate
that a storm is soon to burst in Mex
leo" which may end abruptly the
diplomatic discussions in Washington
between Acting Secretary of State, Polk
and Ambassador Arredondo. Officials
declared the developments in Mexico
prove the plans for an adjustment of
the Mexican problem by either a COM
mission or diplomatic exchange here
are a futile instance of absent treat
ment,' while the difficulties them
selves on the border and in Mexico are
increasing.
1t was asserted by these officials
also that Carranza's government is not
respected by his own cabinet and that
the collapse of his administration is
imminent. The fact that Carranza
has not restored constitutional gov
eminent, it was said, makes his own
overthrow comparatively easy by such
scheming adventures as may sur
round him. .
Gals said, that he is insisting that as
condition precedent to a discussion
OF other issues between the United
States and Mexico, that the American
troops shall be Withdrawn from Mex
leo. They declared no actual progress
lions between the state department
and General Carranza and that indi-
cauonS point to a suspension of the
conferences between Mr.. Polk and Mr..
Arredondo unless Carranza recedes
from the position he has taken.
Villa Strength Growing.
OFFICIALS were surprised by Carrau-
za's assertion that the Villa move
ment amounts to nothing, whereas a
rev days ago he announced he would
serd an army to cope with it. Infor-
nation has reached the state deDart-
ment that Villas strength is increas-
ing and he may be soon be in a posi-
ton to try conclusions with Carranza
Belief is strong here that Villa NAV

necessitating the sending of a new ex-
petition into Mexico in pursuit of him
OFFICIALS have heard that Carranza
mas quarreled with General Treyino
over the latter's supposedly pro-
American leaning They predicted
troops to Lower California to combat
the Villistas there, may have need of
his soldiers in Mexico City for his
personal protection.
Wait Word From Washington.
Mexico City, July 27-The recent
interchange of shots between Massa-
chusetts militiamen and Mexicans
across the. border was TO-DAY declared
by the foreign office to of no i'm
portance, principally because there
were no casualties on either sides.
Mexico City IS waiting for the Amer
lean answer to the proposition adj
varced by the First Chief for a con-
ference of commissioners. Formal ap-
polntment of the three commissioners
already announced will be withheld
until word is received from Wash
ington.

TO GET men RELEASED
He Fav0rs Liberal Use of De.
pendent Relatives Policy.
Not Enough Dissatisfied to
Weaken Any of Units.

Ell Paso, July 27.-To weed OUT
the disgruntled militiamen along the
border. Maj. Gen. Tasker M. Bliss
will recommend to the war depart
ment that liberal construction be
placed on it's policy of releasing
guardsmen with dependent relatives.
This conclusion was reached by the
assistant chief of staff after an in
spection of Massachusetts,, Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island and Michigan mi
tia camps here
For" he said, sit would be far bet
ter to have smaller organizations of
contented men than larger ones in
which there is an element of .iissat-
isfaction.''
Major General Bliss probably will
visit General Pershing's base in Mex
leo before his return to Washington.
just Friendly Visit.
''If I find road conditions such that
can go to Colonia Dublan and re
turn within day or two, I shall visit
official capa city, as my mission on the
border is solely one of obtaining first
hand information concerning the mi
litia units there"
Continuing on the question of the
disgruntled militfamen Major General
Bliss said
Personally, I have had no COM
plants whatever of dissatisfac tion
from the guardsmen or their officers.
There is no doubt, though. that the
relatives of many back home are writ
iEg to the border urging that their
fathers and brothers come home. This
practice has aroused some protests,
presume. To eliminate such dissatis-
faction. believe liberal construction
should be placed on the dependent
relative policy adopted by the war de-
partment.
Not Weaken Units.
From rough estimate, however,
I should think the percentage of men
thus drawn from the ranks of the
militia would il no way effect the
strength of the state units. In my
opinion the American force on the
border now, taken collectively, is
strong enough to cope with any situa-
ton that may arise"
Major General Bliss will leave Ell
Paso for Columbus, N. NJ, probably
this evening

Lord Derby Says No Rest Until
City of Berlin Falls.

London, July 27.-Lord Derby, I'M
der secretary of war, who recently
visited the British front, today gave
the press his impression of the work
being done by the British army.
st never saw such absolute conf
dence, not only among the officers,
but all the grades from the generals
down. The spirit is absolutely mag
nificent. Men who fifteen months ago
were in counting houses, are today
the finest soldiers imaginable.
After all, you cannot beat a volun-
teer army, where such spirit and con-
fidence exists; for, remember, I should
say at least per cent of the army are
volunteers while the remainder really
only wanted their minds made up for
them
Gains Worth Losses.
Lord Derby was asked whether the
ground gained in the recent British
advance was worth the losses In men.
Lord Derby said:
There is no question about it.
He paid tribute to the Prussians
who, he said, were fighting like tigers
but their confidence was Incompatible
with the British.
Regarding the length of the war,
Lord Derby said that anyone who
named a specific time could only be
two weeks ought to see great things
accomplished.
what will you do with the kaiser
if you get him?" Lord Derby was
asked.
81 cannot say, but I promise he
won't be able to do any more harm, I"
replied the under secretary adding,
''but we've got to get him first
Want to Take Berlin.
when you get to Bapaume will you
rest there before beginning new Of
fensive?" he was asked.
1--WE won't rest until we get to Ber-
lin," came the reply.
Lord Derby made an earnest plea
for Americas help in ending what he
termed German kultur." I'VE want
America in with u.s. he said. Not
necessarily in the war itself, but after
it is over to help put an end to this
thing called German kultur. L realize
and always have done so, that the
United States is overwhelmingly pro-
ally. 1 can also understand that there
must be a certain amount of friction
between the two countries during a
war such as this, but our aims are the
same"
Lord Derby looked forward to
America joining with England and her
allies at all events after the war, in
order to prevent a repetition of wars
like the present.

TO PREVENT HORNS GROWING
Clip Away Hair Surrounding Buttons
on Calves and Then Make Use
Of Caustic Potash.

Horns on dairy cows are COM
mon source of annoyance to dehorned
cattle and oftentimes the udders of
cattle are seriously injured by horn
jabs. Unless the COW is used for show
ring purposes by all means remove the
horns.
To keep herd of hornless cows
the best way is to begin by dehorning
the calves. This can be done when
the calf is but four or five days old
by using caustic potash. Simply clip
away the hair surrounding the small
buttons and rub on the caustic potash
until the skin bleeds slightly or until
Il small blister Is formed. If the work
is properly done dent can be felt
in the skull in a few days and no
horns will develop.
