YANKEE TRADERS HIT
GREAT BRITAIN 5LAckLISTs
FIRMS IN UNITED STATES.
Forblds All Business With Concerns
Having Enemy Connections
New Blow at Kaiser.

London, July 19.-The British gov
eminent publishes a list of from 20 to
50 business firms and individuals
domiciled in the United States with
which residents of the United Kingdom
are forbidden to trade.
This will be the first time that any
American firms have been placed on
the statutory list. which is better
known as 1.-THE trading with the en-
envy act black list" All other coun-
tries have been represented on the list
for some time.
Laming Worthington Evans, comp
troller of the foreign trade depart
ment Of the foreign Office, said in ex-
plantation OF the latest extension OF
the trading with the enemy act:
1.-The United States list may roughly
be divided into four classes:
'First-German firms with head
offices or control in Germany.
"Second-German firms incorporat-
ed in the United States and, there
fore, technically American entities.
We have dealt with these firms on
their merits. in these cases some
thing more has been required to
qualify them for the statutory list
than German nationality-either as
sisting the enemy by loans, propa-
ganda or in regard to contraband.
''Third-Except in so far as COW
cred by the first or second qualiiica-
tons, United States citizens as a
rule have not been placed on the list.
If any are there it is because they are
sole agents for enemy firms resident
in enemy territory.
Fourth - When, however, clear
abuse of cable facilities has been
proved firm or individual may be
found on the list. By abuse is meant
the use Of a secret code or of cloaks
to cover the fact that cables are being
used in a particular interest. In very
few such cases will there be found to
be United States citizens"

tership, bobbed up again today,
this time via wireless.
The operator at the Sea Gate
wireless station was startled from a
doze early today by call for 'tele-
funken station, New York" the call
used by all German ships before the
war. He replied, "Telefunken sta
ton closed" and asked the senders
name. There was no reply. About
3 a. m. an hour and half later,
another call, apparently from the
same source, inquired when the tele-
funken station would open. This
time the message WAS signed "Dbu, -
which is the old signature OF the
North German Lloyd ship Breslau
supposed TO be tied UP at New or
leans.
The spark came from a German
apparatus" said the Sea Gate oper
ator 1T was unmistakable and
came from about so miles AT sea,

This gave rise 10 the belief that
the call came from the Bremen, but

presidents, this controversy would
not have been submitted TO the me-
diators. But our plea TO give the

vailed.
When asked whethes he thought
an attempt would be made TO arbi-
trate the difficulties, Stone shook
his head and said:
The members OF the United
States board of mediation and con-
ciliation are the personal represen-
tatives of President Wilson, and that
fact carries with it considerable
weight; just how much remains TO
