OFFICIAL WAR REPORTS
British.
LONDON, July 17. The text of the
official statement given out today
by the War Office is:
. "Further important successes have
been sained by us. Northwest of Ba-zen-Petit
wood we stormed and cap
tured German second line positions on
a front of 1500 yards. The large num
ber of German dead in this sector bears
evidence of heavy casualties which the
enemy has suffered since our advance
began. -
"East of Longueval we still further
widened the gap in the German second
line by capturing the strongly de
fended position of Waterlot farm.
"On our left flank in Ovillers- and
La Boiselle, where there has been con
tinuous hand-to-hand fighting since
July 7, we captured the remaining
strcngholds of the enemy, together
with two officers and 124 guardsmen,
who formed the remnants of the brave
garrison. The whole position is now
in our hands."
BALTIMORE. July 17. There are
many indications tonight that the sub
marine merchantman Deutschland will
be ready to sail tomorrow.
The tug Thomas F. Timralns, which
towed the submersible to Baltimore
from the Capes, coaled this afternoon.
Captain F. Hinsch, of the interned
North German Lloyd steamer Neckar,
who had charge of the Timmins when
sne picked up the Deutschland, was
seen on the Timmins Just before she
left the pier to taite on coaL
Several colored stevedores, answering
questions as to how their work was
going, said they expected to finish
loading by 11 tomorrow morning. They
were pulled away from their question:
ers by other workmen, who cautioned
them to stop talking. The day force
of stevedores was relieved by a night
shift at 5:30 P. M.
Officials of the Eastern Forwarding
Company would give no information
concerning the sailing of the Deutsch
land or as to how far the stowing of
the cargo had progressed. It is known,
however, that a quantity of nickel,
which will do duty as ballast as well
as form part of the cargo, has been
taken board. Most of the rubber that
is to be taken to Germany is thought
to be in the vessel's holds.
The painting of the Deutschland's
hull so that it harmonizes with the
waters of the Atlantic, even to the
white caps, has been completed. To
night the tug Timmins and the launch
Efco are patrolling the river in the
vicinity of the submarine and playing
their searchlights in all directions.
Vessels that approach too near the pier
are warned off.
Ashore there is a constant patrol of
policemen and special watchmen of the
Eastern Forwarding Company, who
keep all persons at a distance of sev
eral hundred yards from the submarine
and permit no loitering.
Asked today whether it would be a
violation of international law if the
Deutschland crossed the three-mile
limit on her retKrn trip submerged.
State Department officials said they
could see no objection to that method
of evading the allied patrol, provided
the submarine's movements were not
such as to constitute a menace to navi
gation. They were inclined to believe,
however, that any attempt to go to a
considerable distance beneath the sur
face in the territorial waters of the
United States would in its nature
menace navigation, and, therefore.
- would not be permissible.

mercial submarines may assume con'
siderable importance in German-Ameri
can trade during the remainder of the
war. according to the Bremen cor'
respondent of the Koelnische Zeitung.
The freight earnings of the Deutsch
land were so great that the vessel was
paid for out of the profits of its first
voyage. It is expected, therefore, that
many others will be built.
The correspondent does not give the
date when the Deutschland was begun
but intimates that it was built in less
.than six months. He adds that the
company which built the submarine
bein- flooded with requests to accept
freight. One exporter wants room for
60,000 casks of beer and many wish to
send letters. Postal facilities, however,
probably will not be extended.
The company proposes to try to carry
banking paper as freight through the
Reichsbank. Much satisfaction is
evinced in the German press over the
recognition by the United States State
Department of the standing of the
Deutschland as a merchantman.

did not achieve any success in thiB
sanguinary struggle, but lost ground
at a few points.
"On the remainder of the front there
have been no incidents of especial im

OREGON1AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 17. The order of the In
terstate Commerce Commission in the
Astoria rate case promulgated Febru
ary 19, will become operative on or
before September IS, the commission
today having denied the motion of the
railroads for a rehearing.
As originally drawn the Astoria rate
decision was to have gone into effect
Mav 1. hut Its operation was suspended
when the carriers on March 19 filed
motion for rehearing. When that mo
tion was filed the Commission tempo
rarily suspended Its order until it could
investigate the grounds upon wmcu
rehearinsr was asked.
That investigation has since Deen
made, and the order of the Commis
sion today is Indication that it finds the
grounds insufficient to lustily a mod
flcation of its original order, in oeny
tna- the netitlon for rehearing the Com
mission does not state the grounds of
it. action and makes no statement or
the case whatever, merely entering its
order, which reads as follows:
Petition Formally Denied.
At a general session of the Com
mission, held July 8, in the case of the
city of Astoria against the Spokane.
Portland Sr Seattle Hallway company,
et al., upon further consideration of
the record in the above entitled pro
ceeding, and of defendants" petition for
rehearlnar. It Is the order mat me
petition be and it is hereby denied. It
further ordered that tne oraer
entered January 22. 1916, which was
bv its terms made effective May 1
1916, and on March 30, 1916, postponed,
pending consideration of the said pe
tition for a rehearing, be ana it is here
by made effective on or before Septem
ber 15. 1916, but in all other respects
said order of January 22, 1916. shall
remain In full force and effect."
The original decision was dated Jan
uary 22, but was not officially promul
gated until February 19.
Now that the Interstate Commerce
Commission has denied the railroads'
petition for a rehearing of the Astoria
rate case all that remains to be done
is for the carriers to put in the rate.
According to the decision of the Com
mission, the rate is to go into effect on
September 1. but it is probable that the
roads will be forced to ask for an ex
tension unless the Commission waives
its rule requiring a publication of the
rate for 30 days before it is applied.
Whole Tariff Must Be Revised.
The Commission's order of January
22 was a blanket order and applied to
every commodity moving in either di
rection between Astoria and the in
terior for which a higher rate now I
charged than on the same tariff moving
between Portland and the interior.
The railroads now will be forced to
go over the whaae tariff. Involving
thousands of separate items, and quote
the new Astoria rate. Obviously that
proceeding requires much time and it
is feared that it cannot be done by
the time set for It. This is on th
assumption that the railroads will
make no further contest against th
rate.
There remains also the possibility that
after conference the carriers may do
something either to defeat the rate
itself, or to prevent its going into ef
fect at the time the Commission said
it should go into effect. Within the
next few weeks representatives of the
various Interested roads will exchange
advice on the subject, and a composite
opinion doubtless will be forthcoming.
Unless the unexpected happens between
now and the end of the present month,
the railroads will proceed to check In
the new Astoria rate on a parity with
the Portland and Puget Sound rate. -
North Bank Direct Route.
Inasmuch as the North Bank at
present Is the only road serving As
toria by rail direct, all the rates that
are made will have to be made in con
nection with that road. It is presumed
that the North Bank will enter prompt-
y Into an agreement with the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific, its
parent lines, providing the new rates.
But the course of the Union Pacific
system is not yet apparent. Under ex
isting' rates the Union Pacific has no
joint agreement with the North Bank
for the Astoria business. It reaches As
toria over its water lines. Under the
new rates It is possible that the Union
Pacific lines will effect an arrange
ment with the North Bank.
Astoria people already see visions of
Union Pacific extension into Astoria
to meet the North Bank competition.
They predict, too, that the Milwaukee
and other lines will extend their rails
to the mouth of the Columbia.
Portland Passive la Salt.
Portland was not a party to the
original Astoria rate case. The ship
ping interests of this city remain
passive so far as any formal action
Is concerned. The Commission, in its
decision, practically made Portland
party to the procedure by declaring
that Astoria, Seattle, Tacoma and Port
land constitute a natural rate group
requiring a parity of rates on all
business.
Astoria did not ask for a parity of
rates with Portland. It asked for
parity with the Puget Sound cities.
Had the Commission granted Astoria
precisely what it asked for. Portland
would have been in position to ask the
Commission for a' lower-than-ter
minal" rate.
Despite the Commission's display o
initiative in reading Portland into the
case, it is probable that the shipping
and commercial interests of this city
ill institute early proceedings look
ing for a lower rate than Astoria.
This contention will be based on th
fact that Portland Is 100 miles nearer
the Interior than Astoria and, there
fore, is entitled to proportionately
lower rates.
Officials Hold . It Established That
Business Firms Assume Natlon
tlnnality of Country Where J
They Are Domiciled.
LONDON. July 17. The British gov
ernment will publish tomorrow a list
of from -70 to "80 business firms and
Individuals domiciled in the United
States with which residents of the
United Kingdom are forbidden to trade.
Thls-will be the first time that any
American firms have been placed on
tne statutory list.
Laming Worthington Evans. - con
troller of the foreign trade department
of the Foreign. Office, today gave the
Associated- Press the following ex
planation:
"It has been Che policy of the Brit
ish government in the past to follow
the theory that in forbidding its sub
jects to trade with an enemy, enemies
domiciled in friendly countries did not
come under the act. Prance and vari
ous other countries hold the doctrine
that their nationals cannot trade with
an enemy, no matter what his domicile.
Modern conditions of credit and com
merce make it possible for an enemy
outside belligerent territory to trade
with his country.
"Therefore. & considerable body of
opinion in tnis country urged the gov
ernment to abandon its traditional doc
trine, and the Foreign Office, while
not going to this extreme, decided
simply to prohibit persons domiciled
In the united Kingdom from trading
with a limited number of individuals,
firms or companies of enemy national-
ity or association under the same pen
alties as though they were trading
with an enemy. '
The list of firms In the United States
Is grouped as follows:
First, German firms with head ..of
flees or control in Germany.
Second, German firms incorporated
in the United States and therefore
technically American entities. We have
dealt with these firms on their merits.
these cases something more has
been required to qualify them for the
statutory list than German national
Ity- either assisting the enemy by
oans, propaganda or in regard to con
traband. .
"Third Except insofar as covered by
the first or second qualifications,
United States citizens, as a rule, have
not been placed on 'the list.. If any are
there it is because they are sole agents
for enemy firms resident In enemy ter
ritory.
Fourth When, however, clear abuse
of cable facilities has been proved
firm or individual may be found on the
list. By abuse is meant the use of
secret code or of -cloaks to cover the
fact that cables are being used in
particular interest. In few such cases
will there be found to be United Stales
citizens.
