II Should Be Passed to Profit by Open

Hence the pending shipping bill, dis
cussed at the last session, but as yet
passed by neither house. In my 1udg.

needed and cannot wisely be postpon'

gates of trade. and open them wide.

yided, even where the carriage is not
at first profitable, and then, when the

very earnestly hope that the congress
will be of this opinion and that both
houses will adopt this exceedingly i'm

The great subject Of rural credits
still remains to be dealt with. and II
is a matter of deep regret that the dlf'

SHIP COTTON TO GERMANY
British Navy Will Not Interfere With Carsoes Specifically Consigned

Western Newspaper Union News Service
 Washington. - American shippers can send cotton to Germany and Aus trta without interference by Great Britain. Arrangements are being made between various neutral powers in Europe providing against the re- exportation of conditional contraband to belligerent countries.
 Commerce bet cen neutral coup- tries will not be hindered by Great Britain as long as cargoes are speci- tically consigned.
 American shippers will be support ed in their claims against belligerents ii American cargoes are lost when carried in belligerent bottoms.
 These are the chief principles Of the shipping situation which the State Department has worked out in diplo. matic negotiations with Great Brit ain, whose cruisers are in practical control of transatlantic commerce.
 The ports of Hamburg and Bremen are open and German pilots are ready to guide neutral ships safely through the channels leading from the Atlantic into the Baltic sea.
 As far as known at the German em- bassy, all, or practically all, of the German cotton mills are working, wo- men being the operatives in many. Of the S,7l2,000 bales, valued at $546,- 000,000, exported by the United States last year Germany was next to Eng land, which took the largest pur- chases. The German export totaled 2,350,000 bales, valued at $l44, ,O00, ,O0O.
