Washington.-In the absence of in
formation detailing what commodities
are affected by the new British re-
strictions on American trade with
Holland and the Scandinavian coun-
tries officials here are uncertain just
how heavily American exporters will
suffer. Steps to secure this informa-
ton already had been taken and it
was indicated that should any sweep
ing extension of restrictive measures
be revealed it would be regarded as
serious development in the contro-
versy over the legality OF allied block
ade methods. No report on the new
order has come through official chan

were called Immediately to the atten-
ton of the British embassy by State

BORDER BOARD IS BUSY
CUNSTABULARY SIMILAR TO RU-
RALES OF OLD DIAZ REGIME
SUGGESTED.
General Bliss Makes Dispassionate
Statement Of What He Believes Will
Follow the Withdrawal of General
Pershings Troops From Mexico.

New London, Coma suggestion
a constabulary for border duty similar
to the rurales of the Diaz regime was
made during a brief session of the
joint commission
concluding the second week of its de-
alterations. Apparently the plan for
a joint police force previously discuss
ed was abandoned as Improbable
after the commissioners had conferred
with Major General Tasker H. Bliss,
assistant chief of staff of the United
States army.
General Bliss, it was learned, made
to the joint commission a dispassion-
ate statement of the situation he be-
lieved would follow General Perish
ing's withdrawal from Mexico before
properly constituted constabulary is
created to relieve his troops. 1t is
understood he pointed out problems in
the way of an effot to create border
police under dual authority.
There is reason to believe the Amer
lean commissioners have sought to
impress their Mexican conferees with
the view that Mexico must recognize
a responsibility for the depredations
her nationals may commit on the Dor
der if good relations are to be unim-
paired. The whole questions of Great
ing non-military police force to hunt
down bandits in their hill retreats is
based on this feeling and it is believ-
ed the suggestion that the Carranza
government undertake this task for
itself as an international obligation

BOYHOOD SCENES VISITED
Thousands Pay Respects to\the Grief

Columbia-FuneraI Services Were
Very Simple.

Columbia, S. C.-President Wilson
who came here for the funeral of his
onlv sister, Mrs. Anne e. Howe. left
at 6:15 o'clock for the summer White
House at Long Branch, N.
After participating in the funeral
of Mrs. Howe, the president during the
afternoon took an automobile r10e
around Columbia, visiting relatives and
the place where he spent some OF his
hovhood DAYS. He was accompanied
nv Mrs. Wilson, Miss Margaret Wilson
and DR.. C. T. Grayson, the Whlte
House physician. When the presidents
special train pulled out several thous-
and persons thronged the railroad
station and stood silent with barred
heads. The president bowed quietly.
On his ride the president visited
Mrs. James Woodrow, an aunt who
welcomed him as Tommy" and re-
marked to Mrs. Wilson:
"Since he took to writing books he
calls himself Woodrow"
Mr. Wilson then visited the Colum-
bia Theological Seminary, where his
father once taught and was shown
the chair and room used by the elder
Mr.. Wilson He was told of plan
to name a library planned by the
seminary after his father. After
wards he and Mrs. Wilson and DR..
Grayson walked to the house planned
and built by his parents and in which
he lived for several years. There he
talked with four small boys who now
live in the house. DR.. Grayson asked
one of them if he expected to be
president. The boy said he lid not
know.
81 would not wish anything like
that on you," said the president.
The special train bearing the body
and members of the funeral party ar
rived here shortly before noon. Auto
mobiles took the president and mem
bers of his family directly to the First
Presbyterian church. The station was
surrounded by several thousand per-
sons. At the presidents personal re-
quest the city and state officials gave
no official recognition of his visit.
The last service took place inside
an Enclosure in the shaded graveyard
where are buried Mrs Howe's hus-
band, the father and mother of the
president and several other relatives.
A modest shaft marks the plot.

ALLIES CONTINUE THEIR OFTEN
sIvE NORTH AND SOUTH OF
soMME RIVER IN FRANCE.
FRENCH GET 700 PRISONERS
Entante Allies Straishten Lines and
Obliterate Saw-Tooth Salients Which
Marked Entire Front Along Somme.
-Grandcourt is Being Bombarded.

German positions exceeding TOUR
miles In length were captured Satur-
day night and Sunday by the British
and French armies in the continue
ton of their offensive north and south
of the Somme river in France. In ad-
dition quantities of war material and
a large number of prisoners fell into
the hands of the Entente Allies-7OO
prisoners being taken by the French
alone. Heavy counter-attacks against
the British we're repulsed with heavy
losses to the Germans, according to
London.
Near Thiepval the British took
fortified position over a front OF
mile known as "the Danube trench,
near Courcelette an advance OF about
1000 yards was made and finally the
strongly defended positions at the
Mouquet farm, over which there had
been numerous hard-fought battles
for several weeks, fell into their
hands.
The advance of the British appa-
rently straightens out the salient that
had projected into their lines between
Thiepval and Courcelette and brings
their front here to within scant mile
of Grandcourt and the Albert-Bapaume
railway. Grandcourt is now being
bombarded by the British. The sue
cess of the French seemingly obliter-
ates another of the many saw-tooth
salients which mark the entire front
of the Somme and is another move
of the right flank of the Entente to-
ward the pocketing of Jerome.
