COTTON MUST NOT
BE CONFISCATED
Isn't COntraband, and if Seized Must
be Paid for by Allies
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, July 21.-Any British
court decision that would confscate,
without payment, cotton of American
ownership destined to neutral
country, or even to Germany, Aus
tria or Turkey would be contested by
the United States, it was learned last
night, following dispatches saying
the British Board of Trade had ruled,
that if cotton shipped under the
agreement with American exporters
passed from an American shipper to
an enemy of Great Britain, it will not
be purchased by Great Britain under
the terms of the agreement.
The. American state department
holds, that since cotton is not declar-
ed contraband it is not subject to con-
fiscation.

London, July 21.-Rumors that
Warsaw has fallen are circulating

Austro-German rush toward the
Polish capital has slowed down. The
Russians continue to lose ground, ap-

Windau is definitely in the hands OF

RIOTING RESUMED

New York, July q, 1:3O p. M
Rioting was resumed this afternoon.
The Bayonne police chief said 5000
persons attacked the plant of the
Standard Oil Company. One rioter
was killed. Fifty policemen and
rioters have been taken to the hos
pitals, wounded. The strikers expected
the workmen at the Tidewater Oil
Company's plant adjoining to strike.
Instead, all went to work. This en-
ragged the crowd which had gathered,
and the attack began. Several police
men outside the plant bore the brunt
of the first attack. They were struck
by stones and shots were fired at the
police. The police were ordered to
fire a volley over the heads of the
crowd, which did no good; then they
were ordered to fire low. Two men
wounded in the legs and one in the
right arm were taken to the hospital
as a result of the first attack. The
police believe others were hurt.

owners OF cars relying upon dry els
for ignition will find that considerably
more service will be obtained from the
batteries by wiring them in multiple
series which is easily accomplished. To
wire dry cells in multiple series when the
coil Is six volt unit, take twelve cells
and divide them into groups of four
each. Wire each group in series; that
Is. begin with carbon post and connect
It with the zinc of the next cell and so
on. This will leave free a carbon and
a zinc post. Wire the other groups in
similar manner. Then place the groups
SIDE, SIDE by side and connect the free zinc
terminals together, and the carbons in a
similar manner. This will leave free one
carbon and one zinc post. The voltage

groups are wired In multiple the amper-
age Is increased proportionately. II 1t
