fcole Test Applied Has Been: Is
Finn By Its Business Strength
ening Enemy? Publicity
Declared Desirable.
LONDON, July 23. In reply to criti
cisms which the publication of a list of
87 American individuals and firms with
which English firms are forbidden to
do business under the "trading with the
enemy" act has met with in America
and here. Laming Worthington Evans,
chief of the department of foreign
trade of the Foreign Office, made the
following statement to the Associated
Press today:
"The statutory list has been com
piled from one point . of view only,
namely, to ' prohibit British citizens
from supporting firms which are
etrengthening our enemies. : The test
applied before putting a firm domi
ciled in America on the statutory list
is this: Is that firm by its business
operations strengthening our enemies?
If so. then the British firms may not
support it.
Every German Firm an Outpost.
"It is one of the principal lessons
of the world-war that the strengthen
ing of a belligerent does not consist
only in the resources and supplies
available in its own territories, - but
also on those upon which he can draw
from neutral countries. As a result
of the semi - military organization
which the German government has im
posed on its commerce, every German
firm throughout the world is an out
post, seeking to do its utmost to as
sist Germany in her effort to dominate
Europe and the fact that they are es
tablished in neutral countries in many
rases makes them more formidable and
their activities less easy to combat
than would otherwise be the case.
"Can it then be said fairly that
when the British government is fully
aware of these activities it should do
nothing to frustrate them? Can it be
claimed fairly that, instead of endea
voring to frustrate them, they should
re actually assisted by British firms,
British cables, British banks and Brit
ish shipping lines?
Inei4table Loss Daly Considered.
"It is true that the trade done by
British firms with German firms in
neutral countries has attained consid
erable proportions and to cut off this
trade by means of the statutory black
list meant a certain amount of In
evitable loss. But the government con
sidered that the loss to British trade
would be much less than the loss
caused to the enemy and besides- that
the sacrifice involved is necessary in
the interests of the allies. It may be
pointed out that long before the Brit
ish statutory blacklist was put in op
eration, the French government pro
hibited its nationals from doing any
business with an enemy subject. It
can hardly be contended that the
atatutotry blacklist is more onerous
to trade than the French syste
which long since was recognized by
international law.
"Moreover, from strictly legal points
of view, the blacklist system is a piece
of purely domestic legislation, which
simply prohibits British subjects from
dealing with certain persons.- The
rlpht of any government to impose
uch prohibition on its own nationals!
is hardly open to dispute.
Wide Publicity Held Desirable.
"Objection has been taken to the un
pleasant publicity given the list, but
without such publicity far more dam.
use would be likely to result to trade.
J-tefore the adoption of the statutory
blacklist there was an unofficial black
list in existence. Experience has shown
that uncertainty on the part of both
llritish and neutral traders as to who
is and who is not on the blacklist would
be more injurious to commerce than
the publication of the Blacklist, which
enables everyone to know exactly where
lie Is. It is for this reason that steps
are being taken to give the blacklist
lis much publicity as possible.
"In addition to its official publica
tion in the London Gazette. It appears in
the Board of Trade Journal and the
Chambers of Commerce and trade as
sociations. Individual firms can keep
themselves Informed with up-to-date
Knowledge by obtaining a list regularly
Irotn booksellers.
"Complaint is made that the statu
tory list is unnecessary, as the same
results might have been obtained sub
losa. But if so done, it would have
effected not merely the firms in
1he United States which now figure in
the statutory list, but also others prob
ably all those of German names, wheth
er they deservpd it or not because
British traders, to whom alone our pro
hibition is addressed, would not have
known the names of the prohibited
firms, and might, out of caution, have
ceased dealing with a much larger
number.
Uncertainty to Be Avoided.
"In trade matters nothing interferes
with business so much as uncertainty,
and it was to avoid this general inter
ference that the policy of prohibition
with the firms listed was adopted.
"It has been said that it was a blun
der to publish the list when a French
loan was under way. Clearly it would
have been a blunder to include the
friends of our French allies. But is it
euggested that this blunder has been
committed? Look at the list. Who are
included? Is there one among them
who has not shown in unmistakable
measure that his sympathies and, more
our French allies and ourselves, but to
our enemies?
"It is indeed only those who have
shown unmistakably that they. are ene
mies, or acting for enemies, who are
included. So we need not fear that the
tsupport of our French allies will-be-prejudiced
in those quarters.
"It is suggested that publicity in the
London Gazette was insufficient. The
press of the United States has given all
publicity needed in the United States
and in every other country. We find,
iu fact, that the local press always re
produces lists, so there need be no fear
f hardship rising from want of knowl
edge of the names Included In the list.
Facta Carefully Welshed.
"I see it is said In the city that
opinion is not unanimous. That may
well be so. for the city is put to incon
venience in having to change the
course of its business and naturally,
unless the city knows facts upon
which the decision including any par
ticular firms in the statutory list is
based, it may sometimes see merely the
inconvenience and not the Justice or
necessity.
"All the facts were carefully weigh
ed before the decision was arrived at.
and I have no doubt there is not a
name on the list which is not there on
evidence which fully Justified its inclusion."

winner of the first prize in the drill
competition held yesterday, and Sam
uel J. Silverman, one of the lawyer
troopers. Ever since the married-man
clause went into effect the wives of
these troopers, both by letter and tele
grams, have been urging their nus
bands to return. The men have been
reluctant to make application. Had it
looked as if there were to be trouble
with Mexico it is safe to say none
would have taken advantage of the
ruling.
Because Top Sergeant Grief is to go
there is considerable speculation to
night. The question is, who will be
named by Captain White as -his suc
cessor. There are six sergeants In the
troop and nine corporals, but as to who
will be the lucky one even Captain
White refused to give a hint.
Because no Sunday services were
held in camp, permission was granted
to all who wish to go to attend services
in the churches in San Diego. - In the
congregation of every church down
town there was a generous sprinkling
of uniforms.
One of the City Hall teams appeared
on the ball park back of camp and the

tasted defeat. Sergeant Grief, who is

POET TO LIE IN STATE
WORKING PEOPLE AD CHILDREN
ESPEClALLV TO VIEW BODY.
James Wtaitcomb Riley's Relative Heed
Plea of Indiana Governor Fu
neral Will Be Held Tomorrow,
INDIANAPOLIS, July 23. The body
of James Whltcomb Riley, the Indian
poet, who died unexpectedly Saturday
night at his home here, will lie in
state at the Indiana State Capitol from
3 P. M. until 9 P. M. Monday. The
hours were fixed especially with the
view of providing a time when th
worKlng people and children, accom
panted by parents, might view th
body.
Governor Ralston, in a letter to
Henry Eitel. of this city, brother-ln
law of the poet, asked that the body
might lie In state In the Capitol. The
letter, which met with a favorable re
sponse from the poet's relatives, fol
lows:
"James Whltcomb Riley was loved
by the people of Indiana as was no
other man. In an exceptionally tende
sense the people of his native state
felt and believed that he belonged to
them and they mourn bitterly mourn
his passing.
"As Governor of Indiana, I am
anxious that the people be afforded an
opportunity to show the high respect
in which they held 'this" man who sang
of common things,' and I am moved
therefore to suggest that his remains
be allowed to lie in state in the ro
tunda of the Capitol."
Present arrangements are for the
funeral services to be held at the home
Tuesday. These will be private and
simple in accordance with the wishes
of the poet.
Thousands of persons passed silent
ly the Riley home here today while
many close friends of the poet entered
the home to view the body.

OFFIZ1ERSHEIM. Goduslschki. Rus-
sia.- end of May. Friedrich Ernst
Rohde. Land sturm man, is a Christian
Scientist and a Socialist." On the grounds
of both his religion and his politics he
said that he had no desire to kill any
body, war seemed to him at once un
necessary and futile, and as between
inflicting death or suffering he thought
the arguments were mostly in favor of
the latter procedure.
The fact remains that when Friedrich
Rohde was about to sail from Rotter
dam, a few days before the war came,
for a long-planned visit to America.
where he was long employed, he re
turned to Berlin because he thought it
was no time for a German to be leav-
ng his native land.
because we were so fond of him we
felt much at loss when word came in
October. 1915. that our friend had been
called to the colors.
At first we said that. his apparently
delicate physique would cause the mill'
tary doctors to reject him, for . he was
tall, thin and not full-chested, and we
had noticed that on wet, chill days he
was apt to cought a good deal. But
he came through the examination
Government Deaf to Pleas.
Then we tried that Influence which
every American correspondent who
does not write slanders about the Ger
mans is supposed to possess with the
German government. We promptly dis
covered that we had none.
At the Foreign Office we advanced
the plea that so competent a man as
Rohde might be of more use to his
country as adviser in a foreign news
bureau than he possibly could be as a
common soldier on the front. The For
eign Office replied , that it could not
Interfere with the decisions of another
department of the government. An
appeal to the general staff brought the
intimation that Germany alone must
decide where her sons would be most
useful.- They regretted the necessity,
etc.
So our friend went away.
None of us expected ever to see him
again, for we feared that his was a
constitution that could not survive the
burden and strain of a soldier's life.
We first heard from him from
Koenigsberg, where he was in training.
The life, he said,' was no bed -of roses,
but his letter was cheerful. He apolo
gized for not having written sooner,
adding: "But the training of a soldier
is done so rapidly that we have only a
little time left for private affairs. ' 1
have not been able to read any' book or
newspaper yet,--because I apply my
free time to. the study of the infantry
instruction book." ' .
Soldier' Work Outlined.
Then he gave us the programme of
his busy hours: . . . .
'We rise at 5 in the morning. From 7
to 7:45 Instruction lesson with the

generally employed for study of the
war laws, etc.
His comment, was: "So you see that
we are rather busy. The training is at
first hard on the body, especially ber
cause It Is. such unaccustomed work.
But I feel physically well, and that is
the main thing for the present work.
Some of my comrades are nice boys.
Some of the others I could hardly stand
at rirst. but I quicKIy pot. accustomed
to their mean tricks, and they don't
hurt me any more."
"Here in the barracks," he continued,
"it is rather nice. The chiefs are hu
mane, especially the under officer and
the feldwebel. In our room there are
41 soldiers, and there ought to be only
20. But everything is clean and -the

Then there was a long silence.
Man Finally Sent to Front.
ver
In the course of the Winter our friend
was sent to Wilna. and in a hurried
letter we had from him there he told us
how he had stood as one of the guards
in the street when the Emperor, Prince
Oscar, Von Hindenberg and Count
Moltke had visited the ancient Lith
uanian town, and how he had seen them
four times. He added that the war was
not costing Germany nearly as many
men as it had in the beginninir.
One day word came that I could go to
LaKe iNarocz and thereabouts on the ex
treme front, and that the journey would
be made via W una.
Ah, I must look up Rohde, I thought,
and telephoned his family that I would
do so and would take their greetings to

"I'm so sorry," his sister said over
the phone, "but my brother is no long.

success. In the face of Generad Haig's
statement and the far more enthusi

Is paid to these by Londoners.
Russian News Cheers London.
The rejoicing is heightened by the
increasing realization of the impor
tance of the Russian rout or General
Linsingen. His army is composed
largely of Germans and his reported
defeat is therefore even more grati
fying to the British than the disasters
which have overtaken the less danger
ous Austrian armies. London finds in
the Russian successes, which It be
lieves are made possible only by the
western offensive, which has prevented
Germany from reinforcing her eastern
front, ample compensation ror the
losses and struggles before Bapaume.
All this is in addition to the elation
over General Haig's successes. After

and Australians in storming the forti

a lull which really meant that thou
sands of men were constituting them
selves a human anthill in making prep
arations under a ceaseless, infernal
cannonade. The work they did Is ap
preciated the more when it is realized
that the brief dispatch of . yesterday
tellintr of the Germans' use of tear-
producing shells meant that this, tre
mendous preparation was maae in an
atmosphere which almost blinded the
workers. Though all were expecting
the news, the extent of today s suc
cesses had naroiy Deen expecica oj
the most saneuine.
General Haig's message today means
the beginning of the third organized
offensive on the part of the British
since July 1. It is regarded as his
answer, the third in two weeks, to the
German declaration of yesterday that
the offensive had been stopped. Its
force Is emphasized tonight by an rs
timate which twits the total of G.T
mans captured by the allies during
the entire period at more than 26.000,
together with 140 guns and hundreds
of machine tcuns. Moreover, it Is con
sidered significant of the relative
strength of the armies on the West
ern lines that the British should have
been able to resume the offensive so
soon after the attacks of last Thurs
day and the tremendous German
counter-attack, which had been beaten
off only the day before.
Against the capture of Guillemont
and Longueval and to clear Pozieres,
immense forces of Germans are strug
gling tonight with courage and des
peration.
The British capture of these places
would mean the opening of the road
to Bapaurae, the first objective of the
great ' drive. These positions are on
the crest of Albert ridse and are the
chief points in the Germans' third and
strongest line. Beyond them the
ground- lies almost flat, without natu
ral defenses, but eloping down to
Bapaume.
It is these conditions that may make
the battle -which has now begun the
greatest of the war.
FIERCE FIGIITIXC COXTIXTJES
Germans Resist to Utmost to Save
Third-Line Positions.
LONDON, July 23. The fourth week
of the Somme battle begins well for
the entente allies and is expected to
be fruitful of important developments.
Before Saturday midnight the British
began a new attack on the whole , line
from Pozieres to Guillemont and the
fact that the allies have been able to
resume the offensive so soon after the
German counter-attacks of last week.
In which strong German forces were
brought forward, is regarded as a good
augury.
The fiRhtinJr has been of the fiercest
character, the Germans workinK with
their utmost strength to prevent the
British from advancing to their third
line positions. But when the last re
ports left headquarters in France, the
Australians had firmly established
themselves in Pozieres and are reported
to have placed themselves astride the
road in the direction of Bapaume. while
at Guillemont and Longueval fortunes
fluctuated, both places-changing hands
several times. Fighting was proceed
ing late tonight with the utmost
violence.
The German counter attacks recently
delivered against the French front have
proved equally unsuccessful and the
entente allies now are fighting In the
direction of Combles, which is only
two miles distant from Guillemont.
According to a reliable estimate, the
British and French together have cap
tured since July 1 more than 26,000
prisoners. 140 guns and hundreds of
machine guns.
From the eastern frontier come fur
ther reports of continued Russian sue-
cesses. General Kuropatkin has cut
Field Marshal von Hindenburg'g line
at several points and, according to an
unofficial report, has penetrated a dis
tance of five miles. -
Russian official reports of the opera
tions In this sector (Riga) are exceed
ingly reticent, but General von Hinden
burg's line was considered the strong
est on the whole -eastern front and that
the Russians were able to break it is
resarded here as most significant.
At the other extremity of the long
line the Austrlans officially admit their
withdrawal toward the main ridge of
the Carpathians and the Russians are
within four miles of the Hungarian
frontier, moving toward Maramaroa
Szlget.
Except in the Dniester region heavy
fighting Is proceeding along the whole
front. There Is no further official
