CERTAIN BLACKLIST
WILL WORK INJURY
President Wilson's Protest, Now
Prepared, Will Be Sent to
London in Few Days.
Continued on pnEe t,vo.)

Washington. July 26-President
Wilson and state department officials
practically have completed preparation
of a protest against the PRONUNCIATION
Of blacklist of American firms under
the British trading with the enemy
act. 1t was said to-day that the COM
munication would be sent to London in
the near future, probably within the
next few days, 1t will discuss the
principles involved and will not inter-
fere with the continuance of informal
discussion Of the representatives of the
two governments Of the cases Of indi-
vidual firms included in the blacklist
State department officials believe
that their study of the blacklist
clearly has proved that It Injuries
American firms in violation of interna-
tional law. Acting Secretary Polk
talked over with President Wilson to-
day facts laid before him by the firms
affected, and the precedents on which
the United States will act.
When the principles involved are
taken up with the British government.
1t is expected that issue also will be
taken with France. Russia and Italy.
The allies view of the legal aspects Of
the blacklist order which probably will
be the basis of the parliamentary
statement TO be issued soon in London
and be Incorporated in the reply to the
American protest is understood to be as
follows; The allies agreed to enforce IN
ternational law against their enemies and
upon all their subjects without dstinc-
tion. The continental rule. applied by
Germany, France, Italy and Russia. In
terpretS the word enemy" as person
Of enemy origin or interests. English
and American precedents put the en-
phasis on domicile, Consequently British
subjects have considered they could trade
with any enemy firm domiciled in a neu-
trail country.
If the continental view of the law were
applied ny Great Britain suspicion would
attach. the British government contends,
to every firm of German name in neu-
tral country. The trade of the British
empire with the United States for the II
months ending May 30 amounted to two
and a half billion dollars, or almost half
Of tho total foreign commerce Of America
OF all the firms engaged in this trade only
81 have been declared to he enemy firms
A withdrawal of the list, it is further
contended. would have the effect of cast
ing suspicion on transactions with all
firms having German names which are
acting entirely in neutral interest and
whose profits are accruing to neutrals.
The effect of the prohibition to trade with
these firms would be to transfer British
business from firms acting in the interest
of Germany to firms acting In the inter-
est Of the United States

CAUSE OF HOME
RULE NOT INJURED
SAYS STATESMAN
Sir Horace Plunkett Says to AS
sociated Press That Really
a Great Blunder Has
Been Avoided.

London, July 2s.-The breakdown Of
the Irish settlement does not in any
way injure the cause of home rule nor
indicate any change in the attitude of
the government toward the Irish ques-
tion, Sir Horace Plunkett told the AS
sociated Press to-day Sir Horace
who for many years has been occupied
with Irish agricultural and congestion
problems, probably possesses as broad
a knowledge of Irish affairs as does
any man, He has always maintained
an aloofness from party politics and
enjoys general popularity in all sec
tions. lie continued: THE govern
ment was anxious to seize the oppor-
tunity for an agreement between Sir
Edward Carson and John Redmond to
put the home rule act into immediate
effect, but before doing so II felt bound
to ascertain the real sentiment of the
Irish people which proved more un-
friendly toward the scheme than either
the government or its Irish advisers
had expected.
The government was naturally unwill-
Ing to impose on the Irish people settle
ment unacceptable to them and it was
found that the scheme tentatively offered
to the two Irish leaders would meet with
strong opposition both In England and
Ireland Hence considerable delay took
place but in the result a great blunder
has been avoided. Oponion in Ireland Is
obviously relieved by the withdrawal of
the too hastily constructed scheme
Home rule at the end of the war is per-
fectly secure and the large measure OF

ed by the States attorney, was due to a
bungling attempt TO perform an illegal

tered the circulatory system of the young
