s,vANNAH, Aug. 22.-The Morning
EerS says The action of the Allies
in declaring cotton contraband, both as
to it's news and its effect. has been large
ly discounted. That our Government
will protest and protest strongly there Is
no doubt. There will be a sharp diplo-
matte correspondence respecting the mat
ter and our Government may adopt "A
policy hat will lessen greatly the bene-
ITS that the Allies are receiving from
this country.
Much, however. will depend upon
the effect that the making Of cotton con-
traband will have Dol the prices Of
cotton and the provision the Allies make
for assisting in the marketing Of cotton
In the neutral countries of Europe.
"When Russia, In her war with Japan,
proposed to make cotton conditional con-
traband Great Britain protested vigor-
ously. She now asserts hat she has a
perfect legal right to make cotton con-
traband. A belligerent easily finds arEu-
ments to do what 1t wants to do where
the rights Of neutrals are concerned and
has the power"

GERMAN CHARGES In
CARBOLIC ACID suit
Plaintiffs i'm $4,000 Action As
sert Tying Up Of Crystal
Supply Here.

An allegation that the German Gov
has succeeded in tying UP an
order OF fifty tons OF carbolic acid
crystals, used in the manufacture OF
picric acid. which had been ordered
here for France. is made In connection
with a suit for damages filed In the City
Court by the exporting Arm OF Spilo,
Bayart & De Cause against the Bau-
mann. Mcwhirter Chemical Company,
Inc, to recover $4,000 profits on an
order OF carbolic acid crystals.
The plaintiff alleges that the defend
ant agreed to furnish the crystals and
the plaintiffs then got an order for the
same from the United States Trading
and Transportation Company OF 30 Pine
street, acting for the French Govern
ment. The defendant agreed TO sign a
contract for the delivery Of the carbolic
acid crystals during June but when
delivery was demanded the defendant
admitted that 1t was unable to fl the
order.
The French buyer then threatened
suit against Spilo. Bayart & De Cause,
and for protection the latter instituted
an action through John j.. Jordan OF 1l5
Broadway against the defendant. City
Court Justice Finelite has set the case
for trial on September 10.
The plaintiffs have learned that the
inability Of the defendant &c furnish the
carbolic acid crystals was due to the
fact that the American Oil and Supply
Company of Newark, N. j., which was to
furnish the product, sold Its entire sup
ply, purchased from the Edison Com
pany to DR.. Hugo Schweitzer. who Is
alleged to have bought up the crystals to
prevent filling orders for the Allies. DIR.
Schweitzer has said that any acid he
had bought was for medicinal purposes
in this country.
The plaintiffs say that under their con-
tract they would have made a proht or
. cents a pound, and accordingly sue for

CHALLENGE BY GERMAN.
schweitxer OHcrs $1,000 for Proof
of Charges Against Him.

Hugo Schweitzer. president OF the
Synthetic Patents Company. who made
a large contract with Thomas A. Edison
for 5000 pounds Of carbolic acid a day,
all the surplus Of Edison's carbollc acid
plant, thereby. he says, diverting the
acid from a source of ammunition to
medical purposes. has challenged a state
n.ent in the Times by offering to wager
$4,000 to $500 that the Times is wrong.
Whoever l1ses, the money Is to 20 to war
relief purposes.
In a short article headed "Schweitzer's
Purchase" the Times said on Friday:
The salicylic acid. salol and sail
cylate OF soda produced synthetically
In the United States are made
from other substances and have nothing
to do with carbolic acid. Only the Ger
a have made them satisfactorily
with carbolic acid as a base"
Mr.. Schweitzer says that this state
ment is absolutely false. All the
salicylic acid. salol n salicylate Of
soda made In the entire world. including
the United States, are made from car
bolic acid"
The chemist admits that a very few
pounds made from a plant are sold In
his country because "a handful OF ply
sicians still think that this natural acid
is more efficient han the salicylic acid
made from carbolic acid" He con
tinues
81 would suggest the following pro-
cedure
The Times may select a committee
OF three or more from the most promi-
nent American Industrial chemists.
namely, those who have served as presi-
dents of the English Society Of Chemi-
cal Industry m were selected by the
English chemists for that office. and those
who have received from the New York
section Of hat English society the Per-
Kin medal, founded In honor Of the Eng
lish chemist Perkin. who started the
great dyestuff industry.
II am willing to show to this COM
mittee all the correspondence. bills Of
sales contracts. &c, so that they can
convince themselves what has been done
with the Edison carbolic acid bought
by me.
IF this committee should find that a
single pound of Edison acid was used
for other purposes than for legitimate
pharmaceutical use and for the pro-
duction of salicylic acid. salol and
salicylate o: soda | am willing to pay
$1,000 to the British RED Cross.
IF, Oh the other hand, this committee
finds that | am correct and the carbollc
acid was used only legitimately and
that not a pound was used for ammu-
milton the Times Is 10 pay $500 TO the
German-American Relief Fund"

pect that America will work with her

ASKS GOVERNMENT TO
ANNEX ISLE OF MAN

London, June 12.-Dr. Ambrose
Qualtrough, q member of the House
of Keys, the governing body of the
Isle of Man, gave notice at the last
session of that body that at the next
meeting he would move that the Eng
lish government be asked to annex
the island
He complained that the Isle of
Man could not get needed reforms,
and that the government had re-
lapsed into a "one-man power" The
Manx people, he affirmed, were worse
governed than the Germans.
The island owing to the cutting
off of boarding house and hotel bus
mess by the war, is on the border
line of starvation.
The Isle of Man, although part of
the British Isles, still maintains a
certain independence. 1t is governed
by a separate legislature called the
Tynwald, consisting of two houses,
the governor and counsel and the
House of Keys. Bills, after having
passed both houses, must receive the
royal assent.
