ARE We FEEDING ENEMY?
BRITISH PAPER ASKS
Supplies of Cotton and Foodstuffs
for Germany Exercises Eng
lish Press.

LONDON, July 81. - The question
whether. despite the blockade. cotton
and foodstuffs still are reaching Germany
Is seriously exercising the British press.
The Times returns to the subject this
morning, regretting that Premier AS
cliith was unable to hold out greater
hopes of effectualy dealing with the
cotton dificulty.
The Daily Chronicle editorially points
to the enormous increase in the exports
of raw cotton and foodstuffs. linseed
oil and similar articles to Holland and
Scandinavia, as Dissolved by the board
of trade returns. and says:
The question frankly arises whether.
without knowing ii. we are feeding the
enemy In the case of linseed oil the
question is broadly important. because
in addition to being a constituent of
cattle food it is also raw material for
the production of high explosives in
which slycerin is used. 1T is. there
fore, i'll the same category as raw cotton
and the question of its export deserves
the earnest attention of the board of
trade

Endorses Joint Reply to U. S.

The editorial further Endorses the pro-
posal of an American correspondent.
Whose letter the Post prints, suggesting
as means of counteracting 1.-The preju-
fdice.' which, he says. undoubtedly ex-
lists in the United States against Eng
land, that the allies should reply joint
ly ITO the unreasona BILE American pro-
tests against the blockade" and that
intercepted contra band from America
and other neutral countries should be
brought before a prize court composed
OF representatives of the allies, instead
of a specifically British court.
As indicating the extent of Great
Britain's efforts to keep metals out of
Germany. the public has been officially
requested to pack whatever food may
be sent to prisoners of war in Germany
in cardboard or wooden boxes; or if
the provisions are such as are usually
put up in tin boxes or cans that glass
or earthenware be substituted. The
export of tin already has been pro-
hibited to the Scandinavian countries

Urges Cotton Contraband.

The Morning Post complains of the
unsatisfactory ministerial statements
concerning cotton. and declares the
only effectual measure is to make cot
ton absolute contraband. The Post
pays:
Every pound of cotton imported into
Germany means death to British SOL
diers. Therefore it must be stopped.
II when the next crop is ready for
sale the government desires to con-
tinue its former policy the country
will not permit its continuance. We
always recognized that the govern
.ment was acting in difference to the
American wishes. bat we now recog-
nize that the concession goes beyond
what we can afford"
The Post urges that America is equal
ly interested with Europe in preventing
German victory. and advocates the gov
eminent purchasing all American cot
ton, which would otherwise go to Ger

MODERN GREEKS.

What and who are these modern
Greeks? The most skeptical inves
tigators admit that in most OF them
is some blood transmitted from an
cient Greece, and there is a proper
tion OF Greek DESCENT in Greece
about equal to chat Of Anglo-Saxon
descent in America. For the rest.
the modern Greeks are either Alban-
ian or Slav or Vlach. Beside the
Greeks in Greece there are other
Greeks who far outnumber them.
They are found on all the coasts of
the Ottoman empire: Crete and the
other islands until very lately under
Turkish sovereignty have no other
( inhabitants important in numbers:
They are numerous in Asia Minor, N
syria and in Egypt
While domiciled elsewhere. they
remain passionate in devotion to the
Greece they style Hellas. the modern
4 kingdom. whose people are called
Hellenes; and, being masters ot
commerce and finance. many Of them
have gained enormous fortunes from
which they pour great sums intl
Athens particularly, but into Greece
generally. for public buildings ami
endowments.
