Blockade Until U. S. Takes

Stand. BELA KUN PROTESTS (By Associated Press) PARIS, July 16. The council of five met Tuesday, Its chief topic of discussion being the Russian blockade. There have been proposals that the powers shall allow ships to enter Russian ports under special permits, the United States having constantly insisted that there has been no blockade against Russia except such as is incidental to the embargo on imports to Germany. Consequently the American delegates were not ready to take any action in the matter until Instructions have been received from Washington.

The note claims that this order was isued in self-defense. The boundaries fixed by the armistice are so uncertain that the suupreme council has referred the matter to a military commission for decision. July 29 has been fixed as the date upon which representatives of Holland and Belgium will meet delegates of the five great powers in Paris and begin work on the revision of the treaty of 1839. Premier Clemenceau has proposed to the supreme interallied council according to newspapers : today, that Foreign .
