SOVIET CONF|sCATES
AMERICAN PROPERTY

Washington, D. C.-Confiscation by
the soviet authorities of American
property interests in Vladivostok has
greatly complicated the situation with
regard to the status Of the American
consulate in that port, according to
official information disclosed here.
Property valued at several hundred
thousand dollars belonging to Ameri-
can firms has been natonalized under
the soviet law of 1917, which declares
all private property to belong to the
state and efforts of American officials
thus far have proved unavailing in
restoring this property to its owners.
The American government as yet
has not actually ordered the consul
late at Vladivostok closed, and the
state department is at present without
advices as to whether the consuls
intend to leave.
The soviet government has given
notice to the American officials that
they have until May 20 in which to
regulate their position and obtain new
exequaturs recognized By the soviet
government.

ports received here.
AS the manifesto was not addressed
specifically to the free state, and as
it did not order republicans to surren-
Ger their arms to the government, as
demanded by the free state, it was
passed over by the free state govern
ment.
According to reports received here,
disorders have taken place in various
communities. In the meanwhile the

up of irregulars, arresting many Of
them.

lions that the available coke supply
is diminishing.
In consequence of this order, it was

Such a step would permit the proai-

tire military strength OF this govern
ment. This would, in effect, constitute
a declaration Of martial law against
such yiolators.
President Harding has asked for au-
thority to declare a state of war

armed forces of the country to sweep
them from American shores.
The executive so revealed in an
nouncing that he had asked the depart
ment Of justice for ruling on his
powers under the constitution to pro-
claim the existence of national en-
Urgency in the situation.
This would give him the right to use
any funds in the treasury to equip the
dry eXpeditionary forces and to use
the army navy and the air service to
supplement the work of the prohibi-
ton forces.

Washington, D. C.-The administra-
TONS final effort to convey the gov
eminent fleet to private ownership and
operation was taken when the shipping
board invited bids on all the passenger
and cargo ships on its register.
A basic condition was that each
offer must carry with it a guarantee
TO maintain one of the present gov
eminent routes or some new routes
acceptable to the board.
Announcement was made at the
same time that the existing routes
had been consolidated SO as TO re-
duce them to is, which would get
first consideration in any plan touch
ing on the operation of an American
merchant marine. The regrouping was
decided upon both as a measure of
economy and to give operators wider

BRITISH UNDECIDED
over BOOZE Note

London.-The foreign office admitted
that there is a deadlock over the draft
ing of an answer to the "bootlegging
note" received recently from Secretary
Of State Hughes dealing with the
smuggling of liquor into the United
States from British possessions.
1t was admitted that instructions
sent to the governments of the British
West Indian colonies had brought dis.
couraglng replies.
The colonial office and the board Of
trade, although insisting they are
eager to prevent Anglo-Amerlcan fric-
ton, determinedly assert that there is
no British law against British subjects
exporting British liquor in British
ships and decline to accede to any sug-
gestions of limitation of the liberty
of British nationals.
Lord Curzon holds that steps must
be taken to prevent the infraction of
the domestic laws of a friendly state
so long as the three-mile limit is main
tanned but his own legal advisers
maintain there is no power to pro-
hibit free exercise of trade
The cabinet is not expected to act
upon the American request immediate
ly, but it is probable that if the mat
ter is brought up the majority will be
against the American proposal.
