Washington, Sept 5.-Legfsaa-
ton OF the most drastic charac-
ter that Will permit OF retaliation

blacklist policy was written into
the general revenue bill by the
Senate this afternoon.
An amendment proposed by Sena-
tor Thomas, OF Colorado, and adopt
ed without dissent empowers the
President to refuse clearance papers
to any belligerent merchantmen re-
fusing American goods, unless, and
only because Of lack of cargo space.
An attempt to sail without clearance

The amendment, II was admitted was
with the approval Of the
State Department. This admission Is
especially significant in view Of the
provision that the President Is here

ploy such part of the land and naval

poses OF this act
Would Blockade Our Own Coasts.
The application OF this power to use
naval vessels In enforcing the act
would mean the virtual hlockading OF
our own coasts by our own warships
to prevent the escape of ships that
had been refused clearance papers.
The Thomas amendment is admitted

Philadelphia.

Norfolk. Va. Sept, 5.-within three
weeks, it Is said, the informed Ger
man warships. prinz Eitel Friedrich
and kron Prinz Wilhelm will be moved
from their present location at dry dock
No. 3, Norfolk navy yard, and informed
at Philadelphia.
While no official statement concern
ing the transfer OF the two vessels has
been made by the United States au-
thorities the fact that the transfer
will be made was learner today from
an authoritative source.
The reason given for the transfer
of the two German vessels is that ad
ditional room is needed in the river
at the point where the two ships are
anchored for the building of the big
new dry dock, work on which is now
under way.
The Prinz Eitel and the kron Prinz
Wilhelm have been informed here since
March 10. 1918. They are converted
cruisers and became part of the Ger
man navy shortly after the outbreak
Of the war.

The experience of The Virginian in
past campaigns has been that candi-
dates have not become aroused to the
importance of earnest effort early in
the campaign. AS an inducement for
the candidates to start early in this
campaign. the vote allowance has been
so arranged that those entering early
will have the best chance OF winning.
