NOT *" SAYS KEPPLER.
NRchinists' Ntce-President Denies
Any Part In Propaganda

J.. J. Keppler. vice-president Of the
International Association of Machin-
lists, denied emphatically yesterday that
he Is the friend X" spoken OF In a
letter from c. Dencker. presumably a
German agent. to a Mr.. NARROW at the
German Embassy as willing to talk over
the opportunity for strikes in munitions
factories in this country,
Mr.. keppler. who organized the arms
strikes at Bridgeport, Conn. and is now
active in securing an eight hour DAY
for machinists here and in New Jersey.
further fortified his denial with assur-
ances that not only had he not been
involved In the extensive German plans
revealed by the publication of letters
and memoranda in the World, but he
never even had been approached on the
question OF aiding Germany by tying
up American factories. His motive, Mr..
Keppler said. was purely a business
one to seize the opportunity offered
by the war to obtain an eight hour day
for machinists.

borrowed money from DIR. Albert.

Government. ! have got to pay 1t back

Mr.. Clhusseu said that he organized

business proposition, and has three men
in Germany and Austria and two IN
South AmeriNa, all OF whom are Aineri-
ans. one OF them is Albert X. Dawson.
who got pictures at the fall of Przemysl.
DR.. Albert saw these pictures with a
party of others, and he was much pleased
with them, Mr.. Claussen said. The loan
was made some time later.
Mr.. Claussen said that he organized
the film because Americans
were dependent upon English censors
for the information they got. and he
wanted them to see for themselves what
was going on in order that they could
form their own opinions. He expects to
make money out of the venture
Mr.. Claussen explained that his Ger

Canada. The Department too has been
investigating the reports that German
agents have been responsible for some
OF the recent strikes in munition plants.
Among Government officials there is
a disposition to he conservative in re-
gard to the disclosures affecting Ger
many's diplomatic representatives in
this country. They fear the tendency is
to go too far n draw too many sweep
ing conclusions. That is the attitude
which the Department OF Justice and
other Government agencies have been
obliged to adopt for several months.
The Acknowledgement n other repre-
sentatives OF the Government have re-
ceived a vast amount of so-called evil
dence against German diplomats and
German agents in this country. Much
OF this evidence has been presented
by newspapers which. after presenta-
ton. have used 1t as the basis OF arti-
Giles.
Some of this so-called evidence the
Government officials have discarded al
together, some they have investigated
and failed to use as the basis of any
action and some they still v under
investigation.
In" the mass of charges against Ger
man representatives in the public prints
recently there is. however. according TO
Washington official view, one thing that
stands out clearly. me that is that
there is ample ground for complaint
against the extra diplomatic activities Of
the Kaiser's representatives in this coun-
try. Under ordinary circumstances this
alone probably would furnish the basis
for action by this Government. bur the
strained relations between the United
States and Germany over the submarine
issue has led this Government to close
its eyes to many things that otherwise
would not be tolerated. The President
and his advisers have felt that this was
the wiser course.
Secretary Lansing said to-day that
the State Department had not ordered
an investigation OF the charges and
other matters appearing in the news-
papers. At the Department OF Justice
no was o~btainable in regard 10
the disclosures.
1t is known, however. hat Mr.. Greg
ory's secret service agents have been
busy for several weeks in investigating
clues in regard to the activities of Ger
man agents and diplomatic representa-
tives.

That's how the Bridgeport strike

COTTON KING ONCE MOREi

A year ago this newspaper was
urging that there was no occasion
for depression concerning the future
of cotton. At that moment indeed
the market had gone a-smash be-
cause Of the war, and the determina-
tion of the warning countries to
stock themselves with things more
instantly necessary than cotton. But
it was pointed out that in the long
run people must have clothes, and
must come back to the one supreme
cotton mart to buy their materials.
For several months cotton has
been proving this argument correct.
The South reduced its cotton out
put this year; but it did not make
the fatal mistake of going out of
cotton planting, as some ill-advised
counselors would have had it do.
Last week exports of cotton from
American ports we're 217.0O0 bales
the week previous they were $4,000
bales; and the week before that,
81 900. There is no reason to sus-
pect that the top either in volume
of the movement or in price has
been reached.
Meanwhile, gentlemen who have
been painting blue ruin all over the
Southern landscape must feel that
their supply of pigments is running
short. The Hon. Hoke Smith. for
instance, seems to have landed high
and dry with his issue hopelessly
lost; and the pro-Germanic senti-
ment that would convince US Of the
allies purpose to ruin this country's
commerce, seems in need of artifi-
cial stimulation.

EXPORTS RUNNING HIGHER

The foreign trade balance Of
$36,000,000 in favor of this country
last week at thirteen customs dis
tricts looms stupendous today, but
by contrast may very soon seem
small. Without exports of cotton,
with virtually no grain exports, and
with exports of arms and ammuni-
tion only beginning to show their
strength, We scored, all through the
late spring and summer months,
trade balances ranging from more
than 500, 100000 a month to $780,
100000 a month.
Now wheat is going out by the
millions of bushels and cotton by
the thousands Of bales. Wheat is
again selling at more than a dollar
a bushel, cotton at from $50 to $40
a bale. It is nothing at all for this
country in the export season for cot
ton to ship out a million bales and
more in a month. Since the war
broke out it has not been unusual to
ship out in the export season more
than fifty million bushels of wheat
in month. And now, with huge
trade balance running right straight
along without wheat and without
cotton, exports of those products by
the tens of millions of dollars a
month are all clear addition to our
net trade balance.
Before we see any more trade
balances in the neighborhood of
500, 100000 a month we are more
likely to see them for the rest Of
this year topping even 100000, 900
in q single month!

o make Alaska important to the

to make Alaska important to the
nation. ...
Mr.. Lane announces the CONNER
cial production Of tin from mines
on the Seward peninsula, and while
he does not commit himself to any
forecasts about the future, he indi-
Gates that he is very hopeful that
this will prove one of the rich re-
sources of Alaska, as it is also one
Of the great needs Of the country.
The new railroad system in Alaska
will shortly open its vast coal re-
sources to the use Of the entire Pa
ciic coast, which, on both conti-
nents, is curiously unfortunate In
that It has little known coal, and less
Of high quality. If there we're any
one reason why 1t should be con-
cluded that the Pacific might never
be the most important maritime
highway of the earth, it would be
that the Atlantic has almost a mo-
Of the coal resources. Alaska
is the most striking exception on
the Pacific, and its future may very
possibly be that of leading indus
trial region by reason Of the wide
variety of its resources. The Gov
ernment, in taking the lead to make
the most of it, is doing great and
enlightened service to the country
and the world.
