many After Learning Treaty
Legally Ratified.
BERLIN FIXES THE LIMIT
German Cabinet Will Permit Free
Importation Of All Necessities, but
Will Restrict Luxuries and
Raw Materials.

Paris, July Alt is announced that
the Council Of Five has decided to
raise at once the blockade against
Germany.
The councils decision was taken
after receipt of the report of the legal
experts declaring the official docu-
ment notifying the council Of ratifi-
cation Of the treaty by Germany to be
in due form.
So far as the action of the council
concerns France, the measure will be
effective only, after publication in the

the preceding DEGREES regarding the
blockade.
To Limit Luxuries Imports.
Berlin, July 14.-In connection with
the raising of the blockade, it is stat
ed that importation Of necessities,
such as footwear and clothing will be
made quite freely, but the cabinet in.
tends to admit luxuries and raw ma
terials only to the extent thought ad-
vantageous from the economic view
point.
AS individual firms lack credit facil-
tiles the cabinet takes the standpoint
that import syndicates must be
formed. and that these can. only sue
coed If the government participates
in their direction.
v. S. Issues Blanket Licenses.
Washington, July 14.-With the lift
ing of the blockade against Germany,

ing as follows:
The Peac Treaty between Germany
and the Allied and associated powers
signed on June %, 1919, and the pro-
tocol belonging thereto as well as the
agreement relative to the occupation
of the Rhineland signed the same day,
are agreed to.

to have the galleries cleared. The de
bate, however, proceeded, with similar
speeches by other members and'similar
