London Editors Think German,

Special Correspondence TO THE Sun.
LONDON. July 21.-Day after day the
newspapers tell the story OF the cotton
scandal" Cotton. the English are in
formed. means shells. More than half
OF every propelling explosive. whether
for rifle bullet or CUR shell. is just cotton
chemically treated. Germany and Aus
tria are said to be fring 5000 bales OF
cotton a day. They are getting these
bales through neutral ports, as Great
Britain has not declared cotton contra
band OF war.
Before this war most people imagined
that cotton was used principally for the
manufacture OF calico and cotton fabrics
In Lancashire. They have since learned
that the explosive which propels the bull
let from the rifle and the high explosive
shell from the field gun Is not. as in
Napoleon's time, made OF charcoal. salt
petre and sulphur. 1t Is made chiefly
OF Gotten.
To convert cotton INTO an explosive Il
Is dipped in nitric acid. washed and
dried. The resultant is u cotton. The
British powder. cordite. is two-thirds
gun cotton. The German and Austrian
powders are much the same. without
cotton the German guns would be ST.
fenced.
The consumption Of gun cotton In the
present war Is prodigious. A bale of
cotton weighing 400 pounds is needed
TO make the powder for one shot from
one OF the Queen Elizabeth's guns or
from n OF the German II inch howit-
GERS. The lowest calculation places the
quantity Of cotton daily fred by Ger
many and Austria at 400 tons the high
est at something over 1000 tons.
Every ounce that Germany fires away
IN killing or manning the troops OF the
Allies mas To reach her by sea. In &C.
tober the announcement was made by the
British authorities that there was no in
tention u putting cotton on the list OF
~contraband. On February 5 Sir Edward
Grey stated hat the proportion OF cotton
import used in the manufacture OF ex-
plosivcs was very small and the require
ments could he supplied from stocks OF
goods In Germany at the outbreak OF the
war.
The advantage OF treating cotton as
c~ontraband of war Is consequently not
apparent" he explained.
Conditional Contrabnnd
BY March II. however. under the
order In Council i~nstituting the blockade
OF the German ports cotton became "con-
didonal contraband.'
Or April 21 the net was drawn a little
tighter by an-erder prohibiting the re-
expectation Of cotton from Great Britaii.
to European ports, with certain excep-
tions.
BY June 10 the Government confessed
that evidence made II plain that cotton
going TO neutral countries was leaking
through to Germany.
In the House OF Lords Lord Crewe in
sisted that the strange hold OF the Brit
Ssh Navy upon Germany's trade was as
effective as it could possibly be in pre-
venting cotton from reaching Germany.
At the same time he gave the assurance
that the Government would keep an open
mind on the whole question In case mill
tary considerations were held to be para
mount in debating stronger measures.
