LONDON. August ii.-Cotton was the

MEET RUSSIA'S DEMANDS
State Department Will See That All
Needed Information Is Incor-
porated in Applications

State Department officials are max
ing arrangements to have American
credentials conform to the new require
ments Of Russia's more stringent pass
port regulations just announced. This
Tightening upon credentials by Russia
follows the lead Of her allies in the

The American passport does not con-
tain all the information the Russian

quired information, and certified copies
Of that will be supplied with each pass
port.
Requirements Outlined.
The new requirements, presented in
q note from the Russian ambassador,
provide that, besides the authenticated
photograph. the bearer of a passport
must have statement as to whether
he owes his citizenship by birth or
naturalization and also the country of
any former allegiance.
In order to comply with these re-
Quirements the United States govern
ment has agreed to provide authenti-
Gated copies of the bearers application
for the passport which he may present

photographs and statements authenti-
Gated by Russian officials hero.

MOVES TO DISMISS SUIT
TOFORCE BOND ISSUES
Corporation Counsel in Electric
Company's Cases Denies Courts
Right of Review.

whether the courts have the right to
assume or interfere with the discre-
ton conferred by Congress upon the
public utilities commission in the mat
ter of authorizing bond issues is to be
the paramount question in the litiga-
ton begun by two local utilities to
force the commission to accede to it's
bond issue demands
This is the. point at issue in the suit
brought in the District Supreme Court
recently by the Washington Railway
and Electric Company to .vacate an or
der of the commission refusing per-
mission to sell bonds to cover improve
ments The commission has moved
that the suit be dismissed.
Following the action of this cor
poration, the Potomac Electric Power
Company. a subsidiary company, yes
terday brought a similar suit in the
District Supreme Court, as a result Of
having been denied permission to is
sue $4,000 worth of bonds.
Mr.. Syme Moves to Dismiss.
Corporation Counsel Syme, attorney
for the commission, likewise will move
the dismissal of this suit on the
ground that the commissions discre-
ton in the matter of controlling bond
issues is not renewable by court
In both cases the commission author
lied partial bond issues sufficient to
cover improvements made by the COM
panies. which the commission itself
had ordered. 1t refused to allow the
sale of bonds to indemnify the COM
panies for improvements made in the
past and not authorized by the COM
mission until it has completed the val
uation now being made of the proper
ties of the cOmpanieS.
In the case of the Potomac Electric
Power Company the utilities board au-
thorized the sale of S79,500 of total
of $495.000 worth of bonds sought to
be issued.
Claims Discrimination.
In its appeal to the court the COM
pany claims that the commission there
by drew an illegal and unauthorized
distinction between the right of the
company to issue bonds to reimburse
itself for improvements made, neces-
sary by the orders of government au-
thorittes.

night to ask the government to make
cotton contrabapd, the Daily Mail con-
tinues: what a commentary it is on
our official way Of doing things that
in the second year Of the war popular
our politicians to take step that
ought to have been taken Immediately
after the outbreak of the war"
The newspaper argues that declaring
cotton contraband will at once dfScour-
age American exports by reason OF the
and make regular the position OF
Great Britain in the eyes of the United
States government through Great Brit
ain compensating growers for their
losses.
Chronicle Fears Difficulty.
The Daily Chronicle publishes an
article today deprecating the popular
agitation to bring pressure to bear on
the foreign office with the object OF
having raw cotton made ,contraband OF
war. A public meeting to forward the
agitation has been announced for to-
night. ..-
This matter says the Daily Chroni-
Gle, involves international questions
Of great delicacy and perpleXity. On
a ba lance there is an advantage in de-
cIaring cotton contra band. but to do
that and no more would not remove
the difficulties which have arisen be
tween the United States and the Brit
ish governments. On both sides there
is the utmost good will. but neces-
sarily the point of view of Washing
ton is not that of London
The Daily Chronicle then continues:
"Nor will the negotiations be helped
by any action of this country which is
ca Dable of being misinterpreted as a
Manchester maneuver to obtain cheap
cotton. In short. things are now at
the stage when, newspaper or trade

ing consequences

Must Arrange With Neutra1s.

Such a declaration" the newspaper
adds, ito be effective must be support
ed by an arrangement with such neu-
trail countries as are in touch with the
enemy's frontier"
The Daily Telegraph declares that the
government should carry out it's deli
cate task, unllampered by meetings or
demonstrations.
The Times says the question OF de-
claring cotton contraband "is much
more delicate and far more compli-
Gated than it is currently assumed to
be-"
The newspaper urges the necessity
of declaring cotton contraband on the
ground that if it is so declared the
United States could not seriously con-
test the legality of such action, as 1T
does now the British orders in council
LAS contra band the Times adds,
cotton would be liable to confscation
and the possibility of seeing ships and
cargoes confiscated would have salu-
tary effect in many quarters. But 1t
would be both just and polite were the
declaration of policy accompanied by
an announcement that the government
will prepare to consider measures for
the Sterilization of prices, if not for
the provision of compensation in one
form or another for the American cot
ton growers.
