BRITISH refrain
FROM COMMENT
On U. S. ATTITUDE

London. Oct. r-All departments of the
government are maintaining a policy of
refraining from comment on the Ameri-
can attitude toward the German subma-
rine activities off the American coast.
The fact that the United States had
protested against the patrol of British
cruisers near the American coast was
not generally known here until the Ger
man submarine question raised discussion
Of the whole question. Naval writer's now
maintain that the Washington govern
ment having protested against the pres
ence Of British cruisers on the American
coast cannot fairly countenance this SUBJ
marine campaign which. they hold con-
sututes far greater cause for COMPLAINT
md protest than any that could have
been based on British ships.

AUSTRIA : HUNGARY COTTON
PROBLEMS ARE MET BY USE
OF PAPER, SAYS correspondent

Vienna. Oct. 7.-(via London, Oct. 10Y.
-(Delayed)-Paperi in the place of cot
ton has proved Of extraordinary value
in solving one Of Austria-Hungary' S
to Arthur Kuffler, president of the War
Association of Cotton Spinners, which
is the government controlling cotton
consumption. Herr kufiler explained to-
day to correspondent of The Associ-
ated Press how Austria-Hungary has
met the situation caused by thee utting
off Of American cotton through the
British blockade.
The central powers could use more
than a million bales of cotton right
now" he said, but we are able to get
along without it If we must. We are
getting 5000 to 10000 bales a mont,
from Turkey"
Herr Kuffier then showed the CORE
spondent vast assortment of fabrics
made from paper. The articles ranged
from flour bags holding 200 pounds to
twine Other textiles We're manufactur-
ed from mixture Of paper yarn as
warp and cotton or wool as filling.
They ranged from coarse white goods
to fairly fine cloth. These paper fab
RIGS, after being woven, are treated
chemically to make them impervious to
water and more durable and pliable
Herr Kuff1er said that the industry was
only starting and that the products We're
constantly improving.
Another substitute for cotton has
been found in the common nettle. This
weed has been converted into fabrics
OF high quality, approaching the ma
ture Of linen and, according to Herr
Kuffler, superior to the best cotton, be-
cause the nettle fibre is longer and
tougher though little thicker than high
grade cotton.
1.-THE war has taught u.s." said Herr
mot only to look for cotton sub
but to economize. and the result
Is that 1t Is unlikely that we will return
10 our former consumption of American
cotton for several years after the war
There are also other factors responsible
for this, among them being exchange
questions. Formerly the American cot
ton seller drew actual cash for a bill of
ladins through a London bank of a three
and six months sight draft. The Euro
pean cotton buyer paid three to six
months later, the London banks carrying
the financial end meanwhile. After the
war 1t Is improbable that we will return
70 this system.
This means that the New York banks
must give the cotton buyer three to six
months credit. The cotton business must
therefore be placed on a new basis. In
other words. while the European cotton
buyer in the past carried the southern
cotton grower, the latter must in future.
Tor long time anyway. carry the cotton
buyers. In addition we intend to support
he Turkish cotton industry in Asia Minor
md Mesopotamia. Cotton from Asia Mi
nor is Of poor quality, but may be i'm
proved yet"
