GOVERNMENT BARS
CERTAIN TRADERS
IN LATIN COUNTRIES
(By Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON, Dec. A black
list of 1900 firms in 90 Central and
South American countries with whom
merchants of the United States are
forbidden specifically to do business
except under special licenses, was pro-
mulgated tonight by the war trade
board. II is officially styled enemy
trading list" and constitutes the first
section of a record which eventually
will include the names OF firms in
most of the countries of the world, in
Guiding the United States itself.
Latin America is dealt with first be-
cause of the large number of German
firms in the southern republics active
in aiding Germany's cause. Evidence
put before the war trade board has
shown that many of these firms. in
GLIDING public utilities companies,
have financed to a large degree Ger
man propaganda work in the United
States. All those named in the list
issued tonight have been charged with
secretly or openly assisting Americas
enemies.
The action is taken under authority
conferred on the president by the
trading with the enemy act and is de-
signed solely for the guidance of
American concerns and to enable
them to observe the provisions of the
law.
Any license issued for trading with
| firms named in the list viii be apart
from the regular export and import
licenses which must be obtained for
shipment in or out of the Uni led
States of most commodities.
1t is possible that in many in
stances licenses may be issued, as it
may be found that trading in certain
commodities with those named in the
| list will not work any advantage f9r
| Germany or her allies.
To minimize inconvenience to mer-
chants in this country, arising from
the declaration. the war board will
classify the names of nonenemy firms
dealing in the same commodities who
may serve as subs flutes for the black
| listed concerns.
In issuing the list officials make it
plain that it cannot be made complete
| and that merchants trading with en-
envy firms lot named are in no meas
ure relieved from prohibitions and pen
alties contained in the trading with the
enemy act. Most of the firms named
in the list issued tonight bear Ger
man names, although others evidently
are of English, Spanish, French and
Portuguese derivation. The list as it
applies to Brazil contains the greatest
number of firms, with Mexican second.
The announcement of the list said it
was issued at the urgent request of
Americans engaged in foreign trade.

Austria and Germany which made il

upon difficulty and much as he hoped
10 avoid it, the president was forced
TO realize that Austria was being

ton of war with Austria-H Hungary in
wolves a little reimbursement of affairs
between the United States and the
dual monarchy because the state of
war which congress is about to de-
clare exists, actually has been in ef-
feet for many months.
There have been no such depreda-
tions on American lives and rights by
Austrian military forces as has been
the case. with Germany, but Austria
as. the ally of Germany has gradually
come into a position where the Amer
lean government has realized that
she must be included with Germany
as an enemy. This was apparent
even before the Teutonic invasion of
Italy made the Austro-ltalian frontier
on which American forces are oper-
ating. There has been no outstand-
ing covert act" on the part of Aus
tria against the United States: there
have been rather a series of acts
short of being classed as cause for
war. They go back TO the beginning
of the European war.
Were Austrian Subs
Long before Ambassador Dumba
was sent home as an instigator of
strikes in American manufacturing
plants, the government had evidence
that the Austrian diplomatic and con-
sular service was being used in this
country for Germany's warlike pur-
poses. The secret service found the
Austrian diplomatic code and the Of
fees of Austrian consuls were being
used for activities Germany could not
carry on in the United States with
rer own officials. In some cases
where submarines sunk unresisting
passenger liners with great loss of
life, it appeared that the U-boats
themselves were Austrian, but there
was little doubt that the officers and
crew were. Germans and that the sub
mersibles were acting under German
orders. The most fragrant cases of
that sort was the destruction of the
Italian liner Ancola, in which re-
sponsibility never was definitely es-
tablished.
The first attack on an American
of the nation was that upon the Amer
lean tank steamer Petrolite. An Aus
trian submarine fired on the ship,

the lawyer went on. had outraged his
home. Then Vawter took a revolver
knowing Heth's superior strength and
accosted the wife. A struggle followed
between the two. The statement con-
tinues:
''Vawter told her that II she would re-
turn to her room he would explain why
he had the revolver, even to the point
that he proposed to give her the pistol
but desisted only because she threatened
to take her life. admitting thereby that
she had been in Illicit intercourse with
Heth."
Then came the killing As the attorney
told the commission:
While Vawter grappled with his wife
near the head of the steps, the electric
lights were turned off and Heth appeared.

both hands around the throat and pro-
ceeded to choke him until his breath was

the death OF the deceased. After this

Wrangle Over War Tax Bill
So Stormy Members Adjourn

A serious wrangle developed at the
hrst meeting Of the Ways and Means
Committee called yesterday to con-
sder the war taxation bill framed by
a subcommittee OF i've members.
The subcommittee draft was prac-
tically thrown into the discard. and the
committee meeting at one time be-
came so stormy that an adjournment
was taken in the hope Of restoring
peace.
Indications last night were that the
entire bill practically will be rewrit-
ten. and the temper of the committee
is such that there may be a delay of
several days in the committee report.
The subcommittee was overturned
in its recommendation that the pend
ing bill raise only about $500. 600, 900
in revenue. By a vote of 13 to 7 the
full committee voted to draft a bill
that will raise $500. .ooo, 900. the
amount estimated for by the Treasury
Department. The McAdoo recommen-
