Washington, Feb. 10-Henry P.

the embassy, he will enter Mexico at
Laredo, travelling to Queretaro, the

him to go by way of Vera Cruz was

whether an uninterrupted trip can lie

VERDICT AGAINST
AMERICAN LINE
FOR BLACKLIST
tAssociated Press Correspondence.)

Shanghai. Dec. 29-Judge Lobingier
of the United States court for China,
has rendered a verdict against Swayne
& Hoyt, Inc, an American company
engaged in the shipping trade, which
has vital bearing on the attitude of
Americans toward the English black
list and is attracting wide attention.
The American company, which is
represented in Shanghai by Jardine
Matheson & Co., an English corpora
tion refused to accept freight from L.
Everett, a Shanghai forwarding agent,
because the freight was the property
of Germans or other persons who we're
on the British blacklist. Consequently
space was denied on the defendants
steamship Yucatan, sailing from
Shanghai for Japan and San Francisco
last May. Japanese steamship COM
panies accepted the freight but at a
higher rate and the verdict of $2,700
granted to l.. Everett against the
American carrier was for the differ
ences in freight rates.
Everett was first denied space on
the Yucatan on the ground there was
no space. Other cargo was accepted
after this statement was made to him.
Evidence produced in the trial show
ed that Jardine, Matheson & Co fin
ally told Everett the cargo could not
be accepted because the British consul
general would not give his approval.

Washington, Feb 10.-The senate
military committee today reported fa-
vorably bill framed by sub-Com-
mittee creating military and naval
citizen force based on universal train
ing and service. While the commit
tee report does not indicate any be-
lief that congress will act on the
measure at this session, the bill brings
to a definite head the universal serV-
ice discussion of the last few months
and offers a specific plan or. which
public sentiment can crystalline. The
bill requires six months training
without pay for all youths during
their nineteenth year.
Exemptions are confined to the
members of the regular army and
navy, those physically unfit. those
who are the sole support of depend
ent relatives, and those affiliated with
religious creeds which forbid them to
bear arms. The latter class are liable,
however, for training in the non'
combatant branches of the army.
100000 Boys Annually.
1t is estimated the bill would pro-
vide for the training of 500, 900 boys
annually, each of whom would he

years after his training period. With
allowances for shrinkage of classes

the first nine-year cycle, all subjec,

ice, his wishes to be carried out as
nearly as possible. Specific prohibition

Prohibition Comes In.
Officers and enlisted men Of the

the pay OF their grades only while on
actual duty, not during training pc
rfods.
The sale of intoxicating liquors to
a member of the citizen army or
navy, while in uniform, is forbidden.
Another feature is that men who have
completed their training would be en-
titled to wear a rosette showing the
class to which they belong.
Officials OF the general staff are
inclined to disapprove the hill, par
ticularly because of the six months
training period. They declare that
even the year minimum fixed in the
staff plan contemplated only so per
cent of the efficiency of the average
European requirement for training.
Staff Officers Skcptical,
The staff officers are inclined also
to feel that inadequate provision is
Inado for training personnel. A force
of 100000 men, they say, requires
minimum of 1900 officers, at least
80 per cent of whom must be pro-
fessional soldiers, if anything resem-
bling intensive training is to be given
in six months. The full commissioned
strength of the regular army under
the national defense act will Le less
than $4,000 officers, and it is pointed
out that if 5000 of these were to be de-
tached for training purposes for six
months out of each year, training of
the regulars or any use of that force
would be virtually impossible, 1t Is
understood that the staff bill takes
these points into consideration.
