America Tightens Grip On Pro-kaiset
Agents In France-Two Weeks
Delay Necessary.

Paris, Jan. 15.-General Pershing Is
the only American in France who can
leave the country without asking per-
mission to do SO two weeks in ad-
vance. The United States embassy,
the consul general, and all of the con.
suls throughout France have been no.
tilted by the Secretary of State to
hold up all persons departing for
America for two weeks before vising
their passports.
The object of this long delay and
the rigorous investigation made into
the identity and activity Of every one
leaving France is to prevent, as far as
possible, the ingress of pro-Germans
into the United States and to decrease
the acts OF sabotage which have been
committed-the blowing up of bridges,
munitions far rtories, ships, etc.
All civilians who attempt to 60 to
the United States must make applica.
ton to the embassy or to the consul
at least two weeks before they wish to
sail. Any officer or enlisted man in
the expeditionary force Of the United
States army who wishes to return
home must produce proper credentials
and orders of movement from his su-
perior officer. This applies equally to
men higher up" with the exception
Of the commanderin-chief of the Am

WARNING NOWIS URGED
Present German Government Held
Not Responsible 10 PeopIe-U. S.
Chamber Of Commerce Is Be-
hi. d Movement.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The Cham
Der of Commerce of the United
States asks American business, in
referendum submitted to them, to
pass upon a proposed warning to
German industrial leaders that they
cannot hope to resume friendly COM
mercial relations with the United
States after the war unless the
German government has become a
responsible instrument for the peo-
pie.
II is proposed that the Germans be
told that the United States, in com
mon with other nations, supplied raw
materials with which Germany made
ready to start the world war, and
that the lesson has been learned.
Newspapers and business men of
neutral countries wifi be relied upon
to carry the message.
To Speak Bluntdy.
IF the proposed action carries, +"
says a statement from the chambers
headquarters, "the Industrial leaders
of Germany, who with the military
party constitute the most powerful
caste in Germany, will be bluntly
told that Germany must choose a
responsible government to conclude
a just peace or suffer the conse-
/ quences of an outlaw after the war.
"She will be denied economic in
tercourse with her best customer
the United States. The message could
not fail of its purpose as Germany
cannot hope for years to come to re-
establish satisfactory trade relations
with Great Britain, Italy or France.
Concerted Stand Urged. i.
"No single action by the United
States can be calculated to go fur.
ther than this proposed action of
| Americas business men. 1t is more
potent in its authority, perhaps.
than any similar warning coming
from official sources. The differ,
ence lies in the fact that Germany
might doubt where Congress would
sanction a treaty with the Allies
for a trade boycott of Germany or
that the people would abide by such
a treaty were it made. This, on the
other hand, would be a direct notice
: to German business men that the
business men of America have taken
a concerted stand to close trade to
Germany as long as 1t remains al
outlaw.
THE further fact should be borne
in mind that the proposal to dis
criminate against German trade
after the war is not at variance
with the Presidents announced policy
not to continue after the war policies
which would engender hatred among
the nations.

Destroys Interior of Giant Quar-,
termaster's Corps Building at
Washington Barracks.
four FIRES IN 10 DAYS
Mysterious Blazes Laid To Incendia
ries-Loss 2oo,ooo-Firemen And
Soldiers Brave Exploding
Munitions.

Washington, Jan. 15.-While firemen
and soldiers battled in the face Of ex-
ploding munitions, which at times
shook the vicinity, flames destroyed
the interior of the giant quartermas-
ter's corps building at the Washington
barracks here. 1t was the fourth Of
a series of mysterious fires to break
out in the building during the last 10
days and the loss may reach $500, 900.
Baker Orders Probe.
An immediate investigation was or
dered by Secretary of War Baker, who
personally went to the scene and re-
mained until the flames were extin-
guished about noon.
Although Lieut.. Col. ]. ii. Earle, in
charge of the post, stated no one is
suspected of firing the structure
three story brick building covering a
solid block-the guard was doubled
about the grounds as soon as the
flames were discovered and no one al
lowed to enter or leave. No arrests
have been made thus far.
Soldiers Blame lncendiaries.
Soldiers from the post insisted the
blaze must have been incendiary.
Today the first flames were noted
about 8 o'clock in the second floor
where mattresses and wood shavings
were piled. This had no sooner been
extinguiShed than a second fire broke
out in an adjoining section.
Ammunition Set OFF.
AS the flames spread heat and fire
touched off quantities of small arms
ammunition stored in the building to-
gether with other commissary supplies.
Despite danger from these explosions,
firemen from IL stations stood their
gronnd and together with firemen from
the post played water over the flames
for more than three hours. No cas-
ualties were reported, though a few
soldiers sustained minor injuries.
