This Step Agreed l*j>on by Oreat Britain. and Allies. Washington. August 1 k,?The allies' intention to declare cotton contraband has been communicated unofficially, but authoritatively, to the State department. The department's advices are that the decision ..a. been reached and the delay in making an announcement is due to the necessity of arranging uniform treatment of the subject by all of the allies. The step has been agreed upon by Great Britain, France. Kussia, ltaiy and Belgium, but .Japan's attitude has not been defined and she may decide that no action is called for from her at this time, because of the elimination of the only German colony in the far East from the military problem and the absence of any reason for a blockade. Ever since the application of the British orders in council to cotton among other American products, the entente allies have felt that some more effective and less burdensome method must be found for dealing with cotton and preventing its entry into Germany and Austria. The allies contend that American cotton shippers, in many cases alleged to be backed by German capital, havt oeen snipping VUIIUU iu vtcj mail.' through neutral ports. Under the orders in ouncil such a cargo, if captured, merely was taken into a British port and paid for by the British government. The al-1 lies contend that under these conditions a great deal of the cotton got through Sweden. Denmark and Holland into Germany. From the allies' point of view the orders in council were ineffective because they obliged the British government to buy cotton and at the same time offered an incentive to blockade runners. * According to advices reaching Washington,*the pressure in England and France has compelled a change. The British government originally regarded cotton as non-contraband and expressed a desire to avoid inflicting hardship upon Southern planters and to avoid development of an anti-British feeling in this country. The change to contraband will be defended as authorized by international law. Great Britain protested against the American blockade of outgoing cotton from the South during the civil war and had refused to recognize it as contraband during the Russo-Japanese war, but will now contend that radical changes in the conditions of warfare since that time justify a change in attitude. The entente powers, according to advice here, expect that the State department will resist making cotton contraband and are preparing to base their action on American precedents. The advices reaching here indicate they intend to argue that both Presidents Lincoln and Johnson, in formal proclamations issued in April, May and June, 1865, went on record as maintaining as contraband of war "materials for the fabrication of ammunition." ? That cotton has taken the place of saltpetre, always recognized as absolutely contraband, in the manufacture of gunpowder will be held to be an established fact. By way of convincing the State department to that effect, attention probably will be directed to a letter by Secretary Hay to W. W. Rockhill, American minister to China during the Russo"r +v*ot tV>o Amor* Japanese wax, sianu^ maw VMV ican ordnance officers, whom he had called into consultation regarding the Japanese blockade orders, had advised hint that cotton was used in the manufacture cf smokeless powder and so must properly be regarded as contraband of waV. It must be expected that some sort of arrangement will be proposed 1>> which the allies will engage to allow cotton to travel unmolested to * I neutral countries in quantities in proportion to their nomal consumption. What the effect will be on the American cotton growers is the subject ofj contention. The allied powers are | prepared to argue that it will not be! far-reaching. The cotton interests have for some time been alarmed at the prospect, and it is known that the State department has been preparing to resist the new move with eyery means at the command of diplomacy. Iletwixt and I let ween. "The hesitating, Hamlet type of man had best keep out of finance." said .Mr. Lawson at a recent dinner, according to Everybody's .Magazine. "I had a boyhood friend of the type I mean?a fellow named Grimes. He was a falterer. a doubter of the most exaggerated sort. "One evening I stopped to call on him and found him in a deep study, bent over a white waistcoat lying on j a table. " 'Hello. Grimes.' I said. 'What's the trouble?' " This waistcoat," lie replied, holding the garment up to view. "It's too dirty to wear, and not dirty enough to send to the laundry. I don't know what to do about it." " --I.
