DEFENSE SOCIETY AFTER LAFOLLETTE Calls His St. Pail Speech Disloyal to the United States ‘Washington, Dec. 5.—''Robert M. La Follette for the time being a senator of the United States from the State of Wisconsin, is accused by us of giving ald and comfort to the public enemy by disloyal utterances, made and circulated outside the senate, notably those made in his St. Paul speech in September, 1917"—so opens a brief presented today by the Ameri- can Defense society to the senate com- mittee investigating the speech in question. “We therefore ask the expulsion of Robert La Follette from the senate,” says the brief, with the further remark that “the United States senate owes it to its dignity to repudiate such a representation of any portion of its great republic and to terminate forthwith his facilities for further mischief at the expense of the government.” : The brief is signed on behalf of the society by Henry Wynans Jessup of counsel, 56 Liberty street, New York; Richard M. Hurd, chairman of the society, and W. H. Gardiner, chair- man of the Anti-Disloyalty committee. The brief gives the main points of the complaint, which the society pre- sents as follows: “A. That in the City of St. Paul, after the country was at war, without the excuse of his senatorial privilege, he uttered, in a publie ad- WE SPECIALIZE BEAVER BOARD FOR CEILING AND SIDE WALLS.

A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate will cost very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hct water cleanses, sweetens and freshens the skih, so hot water and limestone phos- phate act on the blood and internal organs.

"BLACKLIST 1,600 ~ GERMAN FIRMS This Country Cts Off All Trade | With Enemy Interests Washington, Dec. 5.—Every weapon that the United States government possesses under the provisions of the Trading With the Enemy act is to be used in a relentless war to crush the commercial and financial power which Germany and its allies have ob- talned in Latin America. The War Trade Board made public its first “blacklist” of German-con- trolled banks and industries in South America, Cuba, and Mexico which are accused of aiding in fomenting rebel- lions, spreading propaganda, and oth- erwise aiding the Central Powers. The list contains the names of more than 1,500 concerns with which Amer- ican banks and industries are forbid- den to deal except under license. All shipments to these concerns, it is un- derstood will be stopped entirely, and imports will be allowed to enter this country only to liquidate debts. Where these imports are for firms that are controlled by German money they will be seized by the Alien Property Custodian, sold, and the receipts used for the purchase of Liberty Bonds, or in some other direction which will ald jn the war against Germany. 1d the “blacklist” are included the great banks, manufacturies and pub- lic utilities of Argenfina, rebresent- ing the most powerful and dangerous combination of German capital in Latin America. Steps have been taken already to tear away the grip that combination of interests has in the republic to the South, and all shipments to the pub- {lic utilities of Buenos Aires have been held up. The great German- controlled corporations which have been entirely dependent upon Amer- ican coal have been forced to the ex- treme of burning oil and wood to keep power stations for electric rall- ways and electric lighting systems in operation. A rough estimate made last night of the capital involved in the industries and banks on the Amer- ican “blacklist” place it at not less than $3,000,000,000. The list is not complete, and additions will be made from time to time. Agitation has been started also for a bank boycott in which the allies of America would be asked to join, in a concerted move to destroy credits and CHAS.

At present American, British, and French banks are not having financial dealings with German banks in these countries. Backers of the complete boycott would extend this attack to the extreme of having the banks of the allied nations refuse to have dealings with all banks of Latin American countries and the northern neutrals which have dealings with the German-controlled financial institu- tions. This policy would make it impossi- ble for the German banks to exist for the purpose of extending credits to the German-controlled industries. In the northern neutral countries the proposed bank boycott would extend, of course, to all banks of the neutrals dealing directly with Germany. Definite action along this line has not been decided upon, but it is re- ceiving serious consideration. Eng- land and France did not adopt so severe a method before America en- tered the war, largely, it is under- stood, because German banking inter- for their existence from American banks.
