BRITAIN TO LIMIT
EXPORT OF COTTON
In Interests of United
States, viii Not De-
clare II Contraband.

London, July 15.-The British gov
eminent hopes soon to limit the ex-
port Of cotton to neutral countries to
the precise amount Of actual need,
the Marquis Of Crewe, Lord President
Of the Council and Liberal leader in
the House of Lords, announced this
afternoon.
The Lord President said the naval
measures taken 10 prevent fresh sup
plies Of cotton from reaching Ger
many have been successful.
The Marquis of Crewe said that on
the question of contraband there could
be no magic in the mere declaration
OF any commodity as contraband so
long as the government pursued It's
present system OF examining all goods.
He did not think that any one would
suppose that under international law
or the most elementary rules Of iair
plav IL was possible 10 institute a
blockade Of neutral countries with
whom England had no quarrel.
Therefore the government had adopt
ed policy which admittedly was
novel. but which WAS rendered neces-

maritime warfare. The desire OF the
government was 70 admit the export
TO neutral countries of goods repre-
senting the needs Of these countries
and absolutely no more.
In the United States he said, the
placing Of cotton on the contraband
list would cause no small amount Of
alarm, and the government is convinced
that so far as the entrance OF cotton
into Germany is concerned We should
gain no benefit. At present we stand
better in instructed public opinion in
the United States than our enemies.
and therefore, unless it is clear that
change Of this kind is absolutely
necessary, the government is averse TO
taking action which would be regarded
by a particular interest in the South
ern states Of America as being I'M
friendly"

DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
THE MORNING AFTER"
Are Not Worrying Over Show
ing Made By Their Friends,
the Enemy"

Washington, Nov. 3.--The morning
after election found the administra-
tion with mixed emotions.
While democratic leaders were large
ly disappointed by results elsewhere,
they found some solace in Maryland IS
and Kentucky's choices of democratic
governors. A statement is expected
Nrom the White House in few days af.
ter the returns have been analyzed.
LADDERS asserted that local issues were
responsible for the defeat of Governor
Walsh, democrat in Massachusetts, the
republicans assigned the same cause for
their defeat in Maryland.
Massachusetts, was generally regard
ed by political experts as a most sig
nificant political barometer, although
the administration felt that the small
republican majority, aided by the re-.
turn of the Bull Moose to the fold,
really offered contradiction of their
claims of q republican sweep.
Failures of the progressives to get
the requisite three per cent of the total
Bay state vote to retain their hold as
legal party was regarded important,
as marking q milestone in what many
said is an early and complete dissolu-
tion of the Bull Moose.
As far as Massachusetts was con
cerned, however, this dissolution
brought no comfort to the democrats,
for there the progressives manifestly
went back to the republican fold.
