IN PLAN nmsi MTERNMENT POTS OP MEvmrosmoN CAN SB1P TO NEUTRALS UaiHad Bapplj Will be Allowed Lb to Mestral Ooob trie#—Cotton Propw- (mndlste Work for Reprlanl—WU- , . I •on Against Combining Congress Adamson Praises President. Formation of a great American sotton pool, to handle exports to Eu rope under an agreement with the British gorernment, has been propos ed informallr to the state department as a means of equitably distributing among producers such cotton trade as Great Britain and her allies per mit Americans to carry on with neu tral countries without Interfereirfie on the high Any arrangement of this kind would have to be made directly be tween the British government and the cotton Interests without participation or approval by the state department. Officials point out that to accede to any restrictions on trade between neutral countries In non-contraband would mean abandonment of the principle of freedom of the seas laid down In various notes to Great Bri tain and to be stated with greater In sistence In another communication now In preparation. It has been suggested that pending differences between the two countries ' American officials might aid the cot ton shippers and exports Informally In any effort they might make to fa- cllltate their trade. It waa announced recently that Grant Britain would be willing to en ter into an agreement not to Interfere with cotton cargoes for neutral conn tries provided no more were shipped to each country than the normal amount consumed there. The cotton propaganda seems to be led by Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia and Senator Bankhead of Alabama. For several weeks these gentlemen, with other Southern poli ticians, have exerted their Influence toward bringing about an adjustment of the controversy with Great .'Bri tain regarding shipments of cotton The matter Is also sngagtiig the attention of the British foreign of- flee and tha American state depart meat, and will of a certainty figure E minently In the protest which the ted States will send to London as soon as the issue with Germany haa been finally adjusted. It is the contention of the cotton propagandists, who are urging a spe cial asaalon of congress to pass In re prisal bill placing an embargo on munitions shipments to the allied na tlons at war with the Teutonic allies, that a continuance of the policy of tbs British government will result In widespread disaster to the commerce of the cotton producing states. The Insinuation la mads by the champions of the cotton belt that it is the purpose of the British govern meat to establish a minimum rate for cotton—probably ten cants a pound—and to permit English brok ers to resell It to England’s allies and neutral nations at an excess Insuring a handsome profit to the London and Liverpool middlemen. Such a possi bility la considered Impossible, aa It would seriously reflect upon the hon or of the British government and an- eourage hostility toward It In this country. Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambassador, while having no official Informrtlon to Impart on the subject, la known to. be directing hts diplo matic skill toward the promotion of some agreement with the American government calculated to insure ex act Justice both to the cetton pro ducers of this country and to the consumers In his own and In the neu-) •tral countries of Europe. It is understood that the British government is working toward such An end, based upon the adoption of a minimum price for American cot ton and guarantee of the sales of an average monthly amount so as to ex pand the demand for it to a maxi mum volume of shipments. The chief obstacle In the way of the conNiinimation of such a plan i to be the Inability of the Brit- it to establish a policy effectively cut o- Germany r ^ from obtaining any share of these shipments to neutral countries. The suggestion that there may be a special session of the American con gress to declare an embargo on the shipment of munitions has manifest ly made a profound impression In London, and will, it Is believed, exer 1 ' else a controlling Influence in the speedy adjustment of the controversy regarding exports of this character from the United States to all coun triea except those allied with Ger many. The British authorities believe that they have some justification for the conviction that the agitation In the on producing section of this mun is really being promoted by a ip of speculators, who are actu- by the double purpose of empha- eing their sympathy for German in rests and to obtain a profit. This rguggestion Is indignantly repudiated the American politicians who have most active in the propaganda 1st Great Britain. The beef Interests have been al as . industrious in urging the [ United States to some form of retails- aflkinst Great Britain for the of cargoes of meat and other food products to neutral European Ljortn. . ited States Minister Ira Nelson who la in Washington on from bis post at 8t ckholm. Is with taking a prominent la tha efforts of the beef com- to compel the British govern- te permit meat shipments to go to their deetiaatlon without achieved great celebrity and profit la the packing line. He wee at the state department recently with Sen ator J. Hamilton Lewie of Illlnole. but denied that be had broached tbe subject neareet the hearts and pock etbooks of the packer*. The only Informatl >n regarding the •all of Mr. Morris waa that it related to the handling of cotton Imports of the United fltetee Into Scandinavian countries. Disclosures before the British prise courts regarding the character and probable destination of Imports of this character tend to confirm In measure the claim of the British gov ernment that they were really Intend ed for Germany and that concealed among the shipments of food pro ducts were articles of a contraband nature. The decision of the preeldent and his cabinet provides adequate Infpr mation that It Is not the puspese of the American government to v^favor either the cotton or the beef produc ers, or, In fact, any other special In terest in Its coming negotiations with Great Britain. These are designed to provide an understanding for the future treat ment of American commercial Inter ests, a wide spread diversity of which Is affected by the policy of that coun try in seizing American cargoes and in maintaining Its obstructive so-call ed “blockade” of neutral ports on the North Sea and Scandinavian waters The president Is known to take an an favorable view of the project to have congress reconvene at present for any purpose. The program now followed by the government Is ac cepted to Indicate its decision to ad just the pending disputes with both Germany and England without in curring the risk of mlschevous under takings that might find expression upon an extraordinary assemblage of the legislative branch of the govern ment. It Is not considered at all probable therefore that, unless compelled by more vital matters than now exist congress will be called until Novem ber at the earliest, and then solely for the purpose of providing legisla tion made necessary bjr the financial needs of the government only re motely connected with the war Itself. The president found time to devote to several matters huving no relation to the German controversy. This feet was accepted to Indicate his sat isfaction with both the scope and substance of the note to Germany which the cabinet approved. In receiving callers in his office, tfi^ president departed from the dally program he has followed since the re ceipt of Herr von Jagow’s note, to which a reply will soon be on Its way. The callers Included Senator 81m- tnons, Senator Lewis, and Represen- tatfte Adamson of Georgia. Mr. Adamson, who does not view with favor the efforts of the cotton pro ducers to mix up their commercial troubles with the more vital patriotic mes with Germany, said: “The country Is thoroughly satis fied with the president’s management of International affairs.” . _ ZEPPELIN RUN DOWN SIEU TORN CLMIK SEE lAU OF DBE ANA SEEK NICHOLAS MEAT IN DEFEAT | UANIWKEOlEATiENEIAL DODGES SEARCHLIGHT British Aviator Braves Firs ef Arttk lory and Faces Machias Gama of Dirigible in Moonlit Aerial Com bat, Waged In Dark Clonds brer ®nsen—they are Ghtoflala ef Highest OrAsr, Bay ns CHtlss.

London reports Wednesday: Ru mors that Warsaw haa fallen are in circulation, but the latest communi cations from both sides Indicate the Austro-German rush towards the Pol ish capital has slowed down. The Russians continue to lose ground, but apparently the campaign has not yet reached a decisive issue. The latest Important success re ported by the Germans has been won by General von Woyrlsh, south of Ivangorod. The Russians later de livered vigorous counter-attacks there but failed to recover the last ground. Wadau, on the Baltls, Is in the hands of the Germans, who are now within thirty-five miles of the impor tant Russian seaport of Riga. Pos session of Riga by the Germans would force the Russian armies near Shavli and Mitau to retreat, as the Baltic port is their chief supply point. The ambitious advance of the tier- mans in the Baltic provinces indi cates they hope not only to capture Warsaw, but to cut off the retreat of the Russians. Grand Duke Nicholas, armies undoubtedly are in a danger ous position, for to risk obstinate re sistance might Imperil his retreat. It is pointed out in London, how ever, tt^&t £uch an extended Austro- German line may contain weak points. Military writers declare the use of landwehr and lanstrum Indi cates the central powers are exerting e>ary resource to crush the Russians. *•*.*•***••*•*»•* * BUSINESS PUNCHES. * By Bishop Warren Candler, of Georgia. . Christianity is a money-" making, wealth-creating reli gion. For one. I’m tired of the revolutionists who call theft^ selves reformers. I can not follow men who know no way to get the rats out of the barn except by burning the building to the ground. It is not big business, but bad business we have to fear. Our political probers pro duce more pus than purity. The commerce which has, no International outlook Is but a step removed from the trade of hucksters. Hovering over the (leld are thousands of thos« black vuU tures which wa call dema gogues, and In true bustard faslon, picking out first the eyee of their victims to make sure of the carrion they would devour.—N. N. B. the German Idnee. The London Dally Mall publishes the following description of a chase In the air of a Zeppelin, written by an aeroplane observer in the field with the Royal Flying Corps: 11.16 p. m.—"A Zeppelin Is re ported at , traveling due west at eleven p. m. Height estimated, 9,- 000.” 11.36 p. m.—"A Zeppelin passed at 11.10 p. m., traveling N. W. Height estimated, 9,000.” The above message supplied me with enough preliminary data to or ganize the chase. In a few minutes the varying burr of different types of aeroplanes could be heard along most of tlye British front. It was pitch dark, and aa we got clear of the oerodrome only the faint- eat outline of a nearby forset waa (liscernlUe. There were broken clouds anout at low altitudes. As we climbed through these they .gave us n uncanny moistness, which bespoke athering rain. Iq a few minutes there was nothing to guide us except the instruments and the time. Going for height In these condi tions Is a tedious business, for there is nothing to do except to speculate more or less vaguely on one’s drift and its relation to one's course. What a relief It Is when one suddenly descries the lights of a town and gradually, with Increasing height, other towns swim Into one’s ken. A clond In front suddenly blazes up aa though by magic. It la an enemy searchlight. He haa informa- t Ion of our qneata, and caeto <«to great streams of white light all over the upper atmosphere. The shaft disap pears. but a moment Uter finds us with a dazzling flash. A suddent dive and a rapid turn clear us of its course. In about twenty seconds the “Ar chies” begin. The whole area through which we have Just pyssetl la filled with sheila. They burst In groups and processions, some throwing out syrupy stream of "dead-dog flames.” some bursting like huge rockets, almost mesmerizing with their dazzling rays reflected from the background of leafy cloudlets. But the searchlight can not follow us. He fairly scans the sky, and sud denly picks up with another machine This time he stays on. and ’’Archie” gets much better data for his work We are still going for height, tak ing in large sweeps through which It would be Impossible for hostile air craft to elude us. Tbe searchlight haa lost the other machine and plays on the base of a gathering cloud a thousand feet below aa. On the eastern horizon there Is a gleam of new light as the moon struggles up. But well bolow that horizon some one is flashing out a signal obviously meant for aircraft It la the first clue of the "Zep." We are bearing toward It with all pos sible speed. The other mcchlne has disappeared, probably following an other clue. Long before we are anywhere near its position the signalling ceases. We now speculate on the probable direc tion of the "Zep.” In a few minutes 111 be light enough to see, but these first few minutes are Invalu able. We went higher —— r keeping well In the shadow of a cloud. As we cleared tbe top of this great mass of vapor the sky presented that dull. Iron-gray appearance whkh is the prelude of a brilliant moon. For fnlly five minutes we anxiously searched the skyline. Then a distinct flash was seen far above ns and sea ward. It was followed by another flash after a short interval. There was nothing more. It was far, too far, away, but we were certain It was a “Zep.” Up we went and steered straight for the region of the flash. As the moon cam) up we got in a line beyond the area of the flash and the eastern horizon, and as we clear ed a bank of mist at a great height the outline of the Zeppelin showed up with unmistakable clearness. Up to this time he had not suspected attack, for his course was reguh.r and his nose level. Rut we knew he would soon hear the noise of our engine, so we kept as clear as possible until we had assumed sufficient height. f But we underestimated the "Zep’s” ears. He heard us and began to “searchlight” us—a process which gives him no qualms ever his own territory. The flicks of light from the great gas hag were even more weird than the long, searching streams from the ground. They lit up huge tracts of clouds, and we saw with some discomfort that the weath er ^was preparing for a sudden change. As we crossed his stern at a fair height he got^on ns With the light and a perfect fusillade of machine- gun bullets came scurrying around us. As we-turned outward to avoid his light and change the fire we were suddenly enveloped In a blind cloud, through which not a ray of moon light or a truce off “vlsibleness’’ found Its way. We made what we reckoned to be a due cdurse for the “Zep.” The only Indication of his position was the constant clicking of his ma chine guns as they flfe4 off wildly in the hope of getting us with a stray shot. But even this lasted only a few minutes. “When we thought we were over him we loosed off our pro jectiles In a rather hopeless attempt OPL- ready, made Illustrious by the battle of the Marne, the great coup at the Mazurlan lake#, by the spring cam paign In Galicia—but ntrt one of them has faced so tremendous a task as the man who has alone manipu lated his forces over so vast a terri tory that even now It requires three great armies, (advancing from as many directions, to force him at bay. The Grand Duka has been solely handicapped throughout the war by Inferior officers, stupid soldiery, piti fully Inadequate equipment, especial ly in artillery, and most of all by primitive railway communications. But his generalship on attack has been brilliant In conception—accord ing to military critics, hardly less so than that of Lee, who fought three years so superbly against odds no more overwhelming. A retreat Is the test of military greatness, said old von Moltkr And In his retreats the Grand Duke Nich olas has shown himself so far the master figure of the war, and that with a losing army.

Berlin, Friday: A Vienna dispatch to the National Zeitnng says the final Russian attempt to stop the Teutonic advance In the critical battle south of the Lublin-Chelm railroad, south east of Warsaw, has failed. The Russian southwestern front Is serionsly menaced, the dispatch de clares. The - railroad line running through Ivangorod, Lublin and Chelm now is only a few mines north of the Teutonic lines, and capture of Lublin and Chelm is said to be a question of only a brief time. The correspondent of the National Zettung at Tarnow, Galicia, while re porting that the Austro-German forces are advancing steadily, points out that there are many difficulties. therq Is now a tremendous opening in the European markets for legs and arms made here. England, France aad Russia have not enough makers of artificial limbs in their dominions to supply ten per cent, of the number required. France seems to appreciate this condition more keenly than the other countries Involved in the. war, and it was from France that the call came to Mr. Marks to go over and see what ar rangements could be made to meet the situation. “In Paris and its suburbs,” said Mr. Marks, “there w^re a month ago fifteen thousand soldiers who had lost one or more limbs, and many of these were waiting for prothetic treatment. Mind you, that does hot Include the number In tbe remainder of France. “It Is by no means an exaggeration to say that with the war not yet a year old, the number of soldiers with amputated limbs in all the belliger ent countries already is not short of fifty thousand.. Compared with the figures of the civil var, this Is ap palling. “Tha‘. conflict, which lasted four years, and was regarded as unusually sanguinary, left eleven thousand am putated survivors on the federal side, and if we assume that tbe same num ber of Confederates were left maim ed, approximately twenty-two thou sand persons were in line for artifi cial limbs at the close. "I visited a number of the hos pitals In England and France, and conferred with many of the surgeons. I was taken by the distinguished sur geon, Dr. Tuffler, > t the Malson- Blanche Hospital, some twelve miles out of Paris, and there I saw, In one Inclosure, one thousand soldiers on whom amputation had been perform ed. Some had lost a leg, some both legs, some an arm, some both arms; and I saw one poor fellow both of whose legs and arms were shot off. “The Malson-Blanche Is a hospital of considerable size, and Is used ex clusively for soldiers who are con valescing after an amputation. It has one thousand beds, and I was told that It had been filled fifteen times since the war began. This Is only one of many hospitals In France CLASSIFIED COLUMN . •|1 “57 W. Reed, Hertfofd. N.

They are dis playing the greatest bravery and en durance, and only in the cnae of con tingents without higher officers do they surrender readily. At Krasnostav, thirty-four miles south of Lublin, there occurred an engagement at close quarters which was unusually desperate and deadly opponents and resisted them with the bayonet. They had assembled strong rehervet. It was necessary literally to throw the Russians from their trenches. Lack of good roads in Poland pre sents another disadvantage for the invaders. Deep sand makes army movements slow. Ten to twelve teams of horses must be utilized to draw heavy guns. Bitter rear guard conflicts mark the slow retirement of the Russians In South Poland. They give way only one step at a time. The corre- spondent says their achievements, in view of their lack of ammunition, are remarkable. “The artificial limb manufacturers of France are few and their product Is archaic. The maximum output of all the artificial limb makers in France Is not more than one hundred limbs a month, so I was told, and It takes a French manufacturer from three to five, months to fill an order. His limited equipment being now The Russians awaited their attacking overtaxed, and most of Ifcta regular Their fate we shall neve- khtoV? riondi mdn had baffled us at the last mo ment. It was one ef the nncertnin- tiee gf sir warfare with which therr can be no reckoning. We continued ear employees now being In the army, there is now no prospect of an In crease In his output. “It is generally admitted—in fact, there is no question about It—that the American-made artificial limbs are the best in the world. The de mand in this country has been on the Increase In the last century, and the American who loses a leg refuses to go on crutches for a long time. The demand has therefore been an incen tive to great progress, and has result ed In marked improvement in artifi cial limb construction. “French surgeons realize that the French maimed can be better equip ped and be more fully restored to their ability to resume their former functions by American artificial limbs than by any other kind. French soldiers who are thus supplied will be able to return quickly to their homes, whole those who choose to re main h. the service can perform cleri cal work, taking the places of able- bodied men who will thus be released for the front. “The French are asking that American artificial limb factories be established over there so that the de mand may be met on the spot, but I do not believe that it would be prac ticable for an American manufacturer of any proportions to establish g fac tory in France that would be com mensurate with the demand. It would require too mu;h time and ex pense. “In my opinion a better plan is for each hospital In France to appoint as many surgeons, nurses or wardens as possible to measure the soldiers for artificial limbs and send the measure ments to the United States, and when the limbs are sent over to have the same measurers adjust them. Neith er measuring nor fitting is difficult, as full Instructions are issued. We ourselves will undertake to guaran tee both construction and perfect ’fit. “The method I suggested to the French surgeons Is the one adopted by the Panama Canal Commission ip supplying artificial limbs to em ployees who were maimed during the construction of the canal, and was found to be entirely satisfactory. If this method Is adopted by the Euro pean countries, the maimed soldiers will be equipped In the quickest pos- sible time. “There isjno doubt that any of the war aid societies In the United States wou)d appoint a committee to pass upon the artificial limbs, compare them with the orders and approve ^hem before they are shipped, and I am sure such a committee would do this work gratuitously.”' larly gleam of sunrise found ns out British Apology to Norway. ‘o sea.
