Boat Deutschland.
metropolis

Washington, July 20.-In accordance
with instructions from their govern
ments. Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the Brit
ish ambassador, and NJ. Jusserand, the
French ambassador, set forth to the
state department the reasons why the
United States should not regard YES
sells of the Deutschland type as mer-
chantmen.
The reasons are as follows:
THAT submarine merchantmen can
not be overhauled and visited and
searched. as Is possible In the case of
surface craft. because of their ability
to dive and escape.
THAT such ships, because of their
submersibility are able to evade mu-
nicipal law with special reference to
customs. quarantine, etc.
THAT such ships can be transformed
with ease from merchantmen into war
ships.
THAT in case Of war between q great
the latter would have the right to pur-
chase submarine merchantmen, and
when the ships arrived at the port of
the purchaser they could be provided
with guns and torpedoes and sally
forth to attack the enemy ships.
THAT a refusal on the part Of a
state 20 sell submarine merchantmen
could be regarded as an unneutral

| RAISES BIG STORM
BRITISH BOYCOTT CAUSES FLOOD
OF PROTEST TO POUR INTO
WASHINGTON.
U. S. Is PLANNING ACTION
Publication of London Blacklist Be-
Ieved to Be Opening Gun in Re-
lentless Trade War to Be Waged BY
Great Britain.

Washington, July PA flood of
protest from all parts of the United
States against the British boycott is
pouring in upon the White House and
the state department. The action of
Great Britain in making public gen
oral list of American firms who have
been boycottad because they trade
with Englands enemies" has aroused
public sentiment, and demands for re-
taliatory legislation are reaching here
from various commercial organiza-
tons and individuals affected.
The state department is planning
action. 1t must wait. officials say, a
reasonable time" for official notifica-
ton of Great Britain's action. If that
is not forthcoming, direct inquiry
will be made at London. Meanwhile,
Acting Secretary of State Polk is
looking into the international law
bearing on the subject. 1t is expected
that after all of the facts are COM
piled he will take the matter up with
President Wilson before framing the
planned protest.
Expect Bitter Trade War.
Officials very frankly say that the
making public of this boycott list is,
in their opinion. the opening gun in
what likely will prove q relentless
trade war against all neutrals who
have refused to accept without protest
the restrictions placed upon COM
merce by the entente allies. They
point to the fact that the present boy
colt list was prepared by the British
board of trade and that 1t has been
operative for more than a year, al
though only just now made public. as
indicating that the measure is one
planned by British exporters and man.
ufacturers to regain their trade lost
by the war.
The making public of the list now,
officials believe, was in anticipation
that at the end of the present great
drive on the eastern and western
front peace negotiations will assume
a definite form.
Task Is knotty One.
While officials are discussing retalia-
tory measures no plans yet have been
framed for such action. 1t is admitted
that the task is knotty one, and the
federal trade commission and the de-
partment of commerce will be ex-
pected to act.
