GRANTS REQUEST ENGLAND BARS LUXURIES; OF GENERAL CARRANZA ^NEEDS MORE SHIP ROOM Protest of Constitutionalist Oilaf OrderTn Council to Prohibit Impor- Brings Assurances From V. 8. as to Plan of Campaign. Gen. Carranza has formally pro tested against American troops occu pying Casas Or ndes in their pursuit of Villa and the American govern ment has replied that the troops havej been ordered specifically not to occu py Casas Grandes or any other towns or cities in Mexico. • The protest and reply were Includ ed In an exchange of notes between Acting Secretary Polk, of the state department, and Ellseo Arrendondo, ambassador designate to the United States from Mexico. After a conference early Monday between President Wilson and Mr. Polk It became known that Mr. Polk in a note forwarded to Mexico said] that instructions had been sent to Gen. Funston to keep his troops aw-ay from all towns. The administration realize* fully the difficulty of Gen. Carranza’s position because of feeling In Mexico. For that reason every effort Is being made by the state department to dls- -semlnate tn Mexico the Information that the United States has no motives of aggression In sending troops across the border. Following out the same policy American troops in Mexico have been given Instructions to be careful in their dealings with Mexi cans generally. AH acta which might be construed as offensive to the Mexi can population are to be avoided. HITS AMERICAN TRADE RHtiah Orders Affect* l’« K>|uallz* Kvchange. -May tation of Many Article*— t Hit* U, 8. Trade Hard. A coming order in poiincil which will totally prohibit importation Into the United Kingdom of a large num ber of articles which come under thej general heading of luxuries, will be issued by the British government at an early date. Among the things which will be placed under the ban will be auto mobiles for private use, musical in strument*, cutlery of all kinds, hardware, yarns, china ware, fancy goods and soaps. The order will apply equally to all countries, in cluding the British dominions and colonies. This forecast of the coming order in council was given to the Associat ed Press in an interview by Walter Kunciman, president of the board of trade. Mr. Runclman admitted that articles' in addition to those named would be placed on the list of prohi bited imports, but in advance of the issuance, of the order hik declined to say what they are. He agreed that the decree would have considerable effect on exports from the United States bat pointed out that It applied to *11 countries alike, and declared It was absolutely necessary to limit ths shipment of bulky luxuries in order to provid* room oa ships for necessities.

An impenetrable wall of secrecy surrounds the movements of Ameri can troops beyond the Mexican bor der. So far as .official Washington was advised, the columpk virtually might have vanished into thin air when they crocsed the international boundary Wednesday in pursuit of Villa. Even the cbmraander-ln-chlef. President Wilson, did not know whe. e Gen. Fcrshing’s men -were. Secretary Faker received practi cally no reports from Gen. Funston dealing with events beyond the bor der, He said he did not know whether the troops had proceeded soutnward from their first bivouac on Mexican soil. Not a olngle dis patch from the border was made pub lic, except one reporting the death of Lieut. Edward E. Zell.

Securities valued at ten million dollars, suspected .of being of German ownership and seized from "mall* (n transit, are now in possession of’ the British prize court, according to an announcement by the British foreign office. The securities have not yet ■been declared absolute, contraband, biit it Is possible that they will soda be placed on the contraband list. Meanwhile seizures will be con tinued on the ground that under the orders in council these securities establish credit for hostile belliger ents and, therftfore>sCan be legally held up. ' ,—- \ The authorities In Ix>ndon say that innocent ownership can be easily proved by reference to the banks which hold any of the detained secur ities, and that, therefore, nothing In the nature of a hardship, beyond a slight delay. Is likely to be suffered by innocent owners.

Car ranza's proposal for a reciprocal Ar rangement between the two govern ments and announcing that tbe Unit ed States held this arrangement to be now in force and finding upon both parties. Gen. Funston will carry out his task under this agreement. Tbe note follows; "The government of the United States has received the courteous note of Senor Acuraa and has read with satisfaction his suggestion for reciprocal privileges to the American and Mexican authorities in tbe pur suit and apprehension of outlaws who infest their respective terrltorlea ly ing along the International bbundary and who are a constant menace to the lives and property of residents of Fhat region. _-"The government of the United States, In view of the unusual state of affairs-which haa existed for some of contraband work say that it is an | time along the International boun easy matter to establish German ownership by examination of secur ities. 1 In the case of American secur ities being forwarded to the United States from Scandinavia, |f the stubs show that coupons have been detach ed over the period of a star by Scan dinavian owners it Is hardly likely that the securities will be seized, but should the stubs for tbe last quarter show that they have been In posees- ston of a German bank or other Ger man holder, this will be taken as evi dence that Germany has received the equivalent value In gold, and the seizure of the securities therefore cer tainly will follow, the attaches say.
