LESSON TAUGHT BY
The GERMAN INCIDENT

1t now appears that the incidents
leading up TO the threatened rupture
between the United States and Ger
many may be settled by diplomacy,
and that the Berlin government will
recognize the protest Of this country
against present submarine methods.
The United States is not looking for
war and viii do anything within rea-
son for its avoidance. It's demand that
vessels carrying non-eambatants shall
he given warning before being attack
cd is certainly not unreasonable, and
It's concession by Germany is no more
tran was expected.
However, the practice Of Americans
embarking on ships Of belligerents,
with the expectation that this govern
ment will protect them should be dis
cu%untenaneed. If Americans cannot find
American ships to travel in, let them
remain at home. 1t is not probable
that their business interests will be
seriously affected by a short delay and
they may save their country embarrass-
ing complications.
But the prospect Of difficulties with
a foreign power has had one salutary
effect. 1t has exposed the u%nprepared-
ness of the United States for war and
has taught that class of our citizens
who consider their country inyulnera-
ble that the most certain manner of
avoiding war is TO be at all times pre-
psred to successfully resist invasion.

entered into the amount of the bids.
The new roads cost more and their con.

The third loss occurred in connection
with furnishing government road en-

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS
CRIPPLEs PUBLIC ROADS

The Democratic Congress is respon-
sible for a heavy loss, both of money
and efficiency, in the work of the Of
Zee of Public Roads.
Three important phases of good road
development practically had to be
abandoned for a year because the Dem
ocrats failed to pass before the close
Of the fiscal year of 1913, the agricul-
tuFal appropriation bill, which provides
n,oney for good roads.
The first loss fell upon the expert
mental road work. A portion of each
years appropriation is devoted to ex-
perimental road building in and near
Washington, in order to make scientific
tests and discover improved methods
in road construction. The officials
could not carry out these tests proper
~. The delay in securing their appro-
priations caused an estimated loss of
about one-tenth of the fund, with an
ven greater loss in efficiency because
many Of the experiments could not be
made at all.
The second loss occurred because Of
icials were unable to contract for new
work until the money was actually APP
propriated. 1t is a maxim in good road
building that all work undertaken must
be completed in the same summer. Con
gress failed to appropriate the money
until nearly the middle of August. Be
fore bids could be secured and con
tracts let, fall Mas approaching and the
roads would not be completed. Maehin-

ish cIamors for New Blow
at Germany.

Information confirming reports that
England may soon put cotton on her
contraband list has reached the state
Department from official sources, 1t
was learned today. Ambassador Fagc
at London is said 70 havc advised the
Administration thst, despite reluctance
OF the British government to take this
step, public clamor for a new blow at
Germany may compel action.
An informal protest to the British
foreign office is being considered, ac-
cording to authentic reports. This
would precede q formal note.
President Wilson and the state De-
partment are daily in receipt Of ap-
peals and protests from cotton inter-
ssts regarding the obstructions al
ready instituted by England against
cotton commerce. They are also urg-
on the British contraband list.
The President is devoting much time
to study of the cotton situation. 1t
will be referred to in q section Of the
forthcoming note to Great Britain
regarding her general interference
particularly by her orders in cSuncil
with American commerce. This note
will be completed In a few days.

Census Bureau Starts
Inquiry Into Use of
Cotton in Arms-Makinq

The Census Bureau has instituted an
official inquiry to determine the extent
to which cotton and lnters are being
used by American manufacturers in the
manufacture of explosives. Director
Rogers announced today that he Ia
carrying on an extensive correspondence
IN his desire to obtain statistics of all
establishments using cotton.
Consumers Of cotton. he declares,
naturally desire to know the total
quantity used in all lines of industry,
and they can aid In the compilation Of
accurate statistics by furnishing the
bureau with the names and addresses
of establishments which have begun
the use of cotton as a raw material
since the commencement Of the Euro
pean war.
The European war has created an
Unsuitable demand for ammunition" "
Director Rogers said today. New es-
tn blishments are being erected for the
manufacture OF explosives. and the
possibility OF increased profits Is in
Gucing firms engaged in other indus
tries to enter this field. This state Of
iect on the price of cotton. which Is
largely used as a material in the man.
ufacture Of explosives"
There has been a great increase in
recent years in the production OF linters
and hull fiber. Census figures show.
The total quantity OF linters obtained
from the crop OF 1889 was l4.5A bales OF
500 pounds each. but fifteen years later
the output OF this by-product of the
cottenseed oil industry had increased by
more than 6N) per cent. the number OF
bales turned out from the crop Of 1914
being S6. 800
What the Census Bureau now wishes
to discover Is to what extent the new
demand in ammunition manufacture in
creases the demands Of the home market
for cotton and .inters SO that this in
formation may be included In the
monthly reports on cotton consumption.

Minister Cardoso has had charge OF
American interests at Mexico City since

White House.
President Wilson, II in the city when

Lengthy Statement.
In a lengthy prepared statement he

THE American government after the

Ito which the sentiment Of the Ameri.

for Sale Of Fleet.

Vigorous attack was made in two
quarters today on the assertion made
by. officers Of the Pacific Mail steam
ship Company that their entire fleet Of
been sold to the Atlantic Transport
Company and withdrawn from the
trans-Paclf1c trade to escape the onerous
provisions Of the seamen's lew.
At the Department Of Commerce It
was emphatical!v stated that the Pan
anna canal act. more than the seamcn's 5
act. was responsible for the Pacific Mail
Company's withdrawa! from trans
tion opened up by the trade between
Atlantic ports and the Orient through
the canal. The Pacific Mail Company Is
debarred from use Of the canal because
Of railroad ownership.
"Pidgin" English Gets o. X.
Commerce officials said also that the
chief objection raised by the Pacific
Mail Company to the seamens act. the
provision requiring rs per cent of the
crew to ''be able to understand any or
ders given by the officers OF vessels. -
would not compel the company to dis
charge all Its coolie labor. as regula-
tions Just adopted by the department
provide that a knowledge of "pidgin
English" sufficient to understand or
ders IN line Of duty. is all that is re-
ity to understand the language to this
extent the employment Of coolie labor
ers would be dangerous on ships. ofri-
cials said.
Arthur z. Holder. Of the legislative

OF Labor. who fought for the passage
OF the seaman's law. upheld the pro-
visions Of the law requiring members

uage Of their ships officers. declaring
that illiterate crews not only were in
danger themselves. but provided an ele-
ment Of danger for Passengers through
inability to understand orders given
them.
