COTTON SUBSTITUTE
FOUND BY GERMANS.
Ordinary Wood Pulp Is Employed as O
Basis Fer High EX-
nIncfuoS

London, Aug. IA citizen of a
neutral State who has just made
tour through Germany and acquired
large amount of information about the
Industrial and economic conditions of
the country, gives to the Daily Chron-
icle an account of the work of German
chemists in discovering a substitute
for cotton as basis for high explos-
ives. This was found in the shape of
ordinary wood pulp. He says:
Experiments are still being carried
on, but sufficient progress has already
been made to enable the substitute to
be used freely and successfully. The
great difficulty in the way Of using
wood pulp as substitute for cotton
is the presence of many impurities
which are not found in the latter COM
modify. The most important of these
impurities are resin and oXycellulose.
Unless these are completely removed
the resulting explosives would be un-
certain in action, and highly danger
GUS to those manufacturing them.
II was not able to discover the
| whole secret of the process, but in its
early stages it is the same as that
| which is followed in turning wood in
| to pulp for the manufacture of paper.
The wood Is ground, cooked and
l CAdAS0O lALO 1lQulu lOILu 1uSu IL ID
cleansed by new processes and then
pressed into sheets. 1t is then ready
for the nitration process, and the ad-
dition of other necessary chemicals.
| Germany Is under no difficulty SO
far as the supply of the raw material
is concerned. At one time she was
dependent upon Scandinavia for sup
plies Of wood pulp, but some years
ago she set herself the task of making 6
her own, since when she has become
largely self-supporting in this direc-
ton.
"Three of the largest factories are
now engaged in turning out the new
basis for explosives, as well as the
lseasoned wood required for making
wood pulp. Large reserves of timber
have been accumulated from my own
country and from Russia, so there is
no fear of any shortage.
"1 was assured that if the supply Of
raw cotton to Germany were enti ely
stopped she might be able to tide
lover the difficulties

UNITED STATES NOTE

Austria Complained OF

UNNEUTRAI
United States Declines to Accede to
the Request That it Modify the
Rules of International USAGE
During War.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The state
department tonight made public its
reply rejecting views advanced in the
recent Austrian note which contend
ed that expectation of war munitions
from America to Austria's enemies
was conducted On such scale as to
be mot in consonance with the dell
milton of neutrality"
Though friendly in tone, the note
fatty denies the Austrian contentious,
and recalls that that country and Ger
many furnished munitions to Great
Britain during the Boer war when
England's enemies could not import
such supplies. It insists that the
American government is pursuing a
strictly neutral course and adherlne
to a principle on which it would de-
pend for munitions in the world $
markets in case it should be attacked
by foreign power.
"The principles of international
law" the communication concludes
'the practice of nations, the national
safety of the United States and other
nations without great military anl
naval establishments, the prevention
of increased armies and navies, the
adoption of peaceful methods for the
|
ences, and, finally, neutrality itsel
are opposed to the prohibition by {
neutral nation of the expectation O
arms, ammunition or other munition!
of war to bel1igerent powers during
the progress of the war"
Pointing to practical and sub
stantiaI reason" why the Unitet
States aside from the question of prin
cipIe advocates and practices unre
stricted trade in military supplies, tn
note declares:
''It has never been the Iolicy of thi
country to maintain in time of peace
a large military establishment o
stores of arms and ammunition suff1c
lent to repel invasion by we'll equip
ped and powerful army. 1t has de
sired to remain at peace with all ma
tions and to avoid any appearance G
menacing such peace by the threat c
it's armies and navies. In consequence
of this standing policy, the Unite
States would, in the event of attac
by foreign power, be at the outset c
war seriously, if not fatally, embal
rassed by the lack of arms and an
munition, and by the means to Pre-
duce them in sufficient quantities
supply the requirements of nations
defense. The United States has alway
depended upon the right and power
purchase arms and ammunition frol
neutral nations in case of foreign a
z tack This right, which it claims fo
itself, it cannot deny to others"

SANFORD YOUNG MAN
ELECTROCUTED SUNDAY.

Sanford, Aug. 15.-Lonnie Suggs, "a
years old, an employe of the Carolina
Power and Light company, was cleo
trocuted about $50 this morning while
working on the power line in front of
the Chinese laundry on Chatham
street. The current was thought to
be off while some repairs were being
made to the line. Suggs caught hold
of 1900 volt wire and could not be
gotten loose from it until he was dead.
Drs. Monroe and Lutterloh were soon
in attendance and worked heroically
to restore life, but all efforts failed.
Today was Suggs' birthday. He
leaves wife and two small children
1t is not known how the wire happen

HAS KAISER PICKED
QUEEN FOR ENGLAND,
Reports Are That He Intends to Place
Crown on Mary Of
Bavaria.

Treated as we are almost every day to
fresh tale of Kaiser Wilhelm's hopes,
wishes, plans, schemes, desires, views,
Intentions and plots it is not by any
means an easy matter to select the
true from the false. There is, how
ever, one story of the German Emper-
or's intentions regarding England, If
he proves completely victorious, that
is particularly interesting because of
the personality of the woman con-
cerned
This tale has to do with Queen Mary
of Bavaria. 1t is said to be the ex-
pressed intention of the Kaiser to set
her up as Queen of England in success
/ sion to his naughty nephew, George
! V, who deprived him of the Garter and
tore his flag from St. Georges chapel
| Windsor
If the English must have ruler i'm
posed upon them by the German EN-
peror it would be hard to find a better
selection than the Bavarian Queen
Indeed, the throne Of Great Britain is
not only claimed by her, but her claim
is supported (in times of peace, OF
jcOurse) by many Englishmen who have
| never been able to reconcile them
selves to the death of King Charles
on the block in Whitehall, close by
the present admiralty, and who every
year spend hard-earned shillings in
] bedecking the equestrian statute o1
their beloved monarch in Trafalgar
square.
By these loyal adherents of the
Stuart 4ne the Queen of Bavaria, de-
spite her bul1-necked son who takes
particular delight in giving the Eng
lish army in Flanders constant hare
knocks, is known as Mary III, Queer
of England, Scotland, Ireland ant
France. For she is the eighth in de
scent from Henrietta, Duchess of Or
