Mr.. Aldrich's friends contended
that his effort to revise the currency
system Of the country was ap-
preached in an absolute non-partisan
way. Heswas exceedingly anxious
that his work should stand up ASA
monument to his public service. His
disappointment was keen when in
1911 his party lost control OF the
House and took from the Republican
the credit offputting through this far
reaching legislation. Before the pos
1itical complexion of Congress
changed Mr.. A1drich was compelled
to a Omit that his efforts were being

that the attacks he had scorned to

LONDON. April 16-At least two
IeppelinS raided the counties OF Suf-
folk and Essex early this morning and
dropped bombs within thirty-six miles
of London, but SO far as material dam
age was concerned the attack OF the
Germans was less successful than on
previous occasions "A large number
OF bombs were dropped on towns and
villages but no loss of life resulted.
The number Of airships which took
part in the raid is uncertain but is
assuredly more than one as attacks
we're made within few minutes Of
each other, seventy miles apart The
first was on Maiden at 1920 a.. m. by
q Zeppelin, which previously passed
aver Burnham
After4dropping bombs at Maiden the
afrship turned north and dropped
more explosives at Haybridge. 1t
may have been the same craft seen
at L O'Clock flying over HarWich.
A second attack was made between
1890 and 2:45i on Southwold. At
sLewstoft three bombs were dropped,
a lumber yard set on fire, three horses
killed and many windows broken. At
SOuthWold several bombs We're
dropped and the railway tracks were
fired. AT Maiden a house was struck
but only slightly damaged. At Hay
bridge several bombs were dropped
but no dainag ge has been reported.
A telegram from Muiden in Holland
says the Norwegian steamer, Dag,
came into that port this morning and
reports having sighted Zeppelin at
IS o'clock fifteen miles of the Dutch
coast The airship was headed to-
ward Germany and Is believed to be

 Or, on the other hand, by destroying the market for the chief product of our southern states, by leaving our cotton planters penniless, with an estimated stock-including the coming crop-of 16,000,000 bales on hand, the allies might find their chances of victory ma terially improved.
 From the standpoint of the United States neither of these aids to either belligerent is for a moment tolerable. But beyond doubt there will be ef- forts to force both upon us, Congress- will be asked of arms and munitions by the export of arms and munitions by German sympathizers in this country and the British government may yet yield to the importantly of those who seek to have cotton made contraband.
 The second of these menaces to the trade of the country will be the more difficult to avert. But it is not con- ceivable that any administration, least of all one so largely identified with the south as this, should permit the foreign market for our cotton to be closed by the stroke of a British pen Nor will that action be taken if our diplomatic protests are as vigorous and as deter mined as have been those against the

BOTH SIDES ASK J. s. TO WIN WAR FOR THEM

Forty per cent of every pound of powder exploded on the battlefields of Europe is made of cotton By keeping this fact well in mind the reader can judge for himself the importance of the issue now pending between Great Bri- tain, acting for the allies, and the Uni ted States over cotton shipments from this country which are likely to find their way into Germany.
 Cotton has never been held to be contraband. But most inevitably it's vital importance as an ingredient in explosives offeKs great temptation to the British to declare it contrabond. The pressure upon the government to that end is almost irresistible already.
 It is pointed out that the neutral nations adjacent to Germany have in- creased their imports of American cot ton from five to fifteen times the amount they were taking last year. Germany, it is well known, is feeling the pinch of shutting off her direct avenues of imports, for it is estimated that her needs for explosives alone will be not less than 750,O0O bales annually. Today the country is being ralled for cotton of every sort, and its use in manufac- tures-other than of exploslves-is pro- hibited by military decree.
 According the German complaint that they could win the war speedily but for the American exports of arms to the allies. is now supplemented by the British conteion that if American act tion could be kept out of Germany that nation would soon be unable to prose- cute the war for lack of powder.
 In other words, by striking down the most active manufacturing industry in the United States, throwing out of em-

PRESS COMMENT ON
 THE BRITISH ATTITUDE

rev ATnerlcan newspapers, commeIIt- Ing on Gredt Britain noleS uecnnlns tU yleld the point uI interesting wItn neutral commerce, suspected of an enc my destination, urge our government to wave il. The view most prevalent is mus expressed by the Mancnester, N. h., Union:
 , We do not admit the right of Ger many to slaughter our citizens because of warfare annoying to Germany; nor can We now admit England's right to exceed the limits of international law in interfering with our commerce be- cause Germany has forged a new and powerful weapon. Absolute impartial ity in our dealings with both these warning powers is the only possible line of action
 The New York Sun says the same thing more tersely in it's heading: .It is a Poor Rule That Doesn't Work Both Ways" Yet as the Evening Sun points out: "The British message is apparent ly an honest endeavor to argue the case from basic facts and principles by log ical methods. It commands absolute respect as presentation of the British or allies case. It makes no claim which offends humane sentiment or affronts the sense of natural right. It makes no insulting proposal for the barter or sale of honor, and it resorts to no tricks or evasions in the way of suggested compromise. It seeks in no way to enlist this country as an auxiliary to the allied cause under sham pretences or humane intervention" The Sun adds:
 We are far from saving that Sir Ed ward Grey writes finis to the contro- versy by his exposition of it's clements But he certainly assures ifs continu- ance within the bounds of diplomatic representation and legal argumentation. His is not so much the soft answer that turneth away wrath but rather the tenn perate appeal which disarms resent ment, arouses interest, awakens con- sideration and conciliates judgment
 The Civil War Gases.
 Many commentators on the British position recognize the dilemma in which the United States is placed by reason of the fact that during the civil war it was a blockade involving some points of similarity with that of England now a blockade which our highest court Loyalty approved. The New York Com mercial thus refreshes our recollections with reference to the two civil war cases which Sir Edward Grey cited.
 Tn the Springbok case We seized yes sel and cargo one hundred and fifty miles east of Nassau, her port of destin- ation Nassau was in British territory far off the confederate coast, so We in effect .blockaded the whole Caribbean sea and gulf of Mexico, the British government contends, just as the allies are blockading the Baltic sea and the Baltic coast of Germany. The British government is treating Norway and Sweden as we treated the British, Spanish, French, Danish and Dutch
