u. S. May Curb Joy Riding
Gasolene Needed for Vehicles
in War Zone

WASHINGTON. Aug. 49, Warning
of the possibility of drastic action BY
the Federal government to stop exces-
sive pleasure use OF automobiles dur
ing the war. in order that the gasolene
needs of the United States and its al
lies may be met, is given in a state
ment issued by Director Van H. Man
ming of the Bureau of Mines to-day,
in which he asks the cooperation OF
automobile owners in stopping the
practice.
Enough gasolene to care for the re-
ouirements of America and perhaps
that of its allies will be saved, in the
opinion Of Mr.. Manning, "if automo-
bile owners of the country will stop
unnecessary and extravagant pleasure
riding. and if owners and dealers han
die this fuel in a careful and economi-
cal manner"

Embargo Plans

From the Trbuns Bu.eaul

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Germany
is obtaining great quantities OF Amer
lean cotton for use in high explosives
through the governments failure to
control cotton exports 70 European neu-
trails, according to a communication
laid before the Council Of National De-
fence and members Of the United States
Senate to-day by the National Associa-
tion OF Cotton Manufacturers. Approx
mately 1O0,0o0,000 pounds OF cotton
more than the normal requirements
have been exported to European neu-
trails since the beginning Of the war, 1t
was stated, and there is conclusive evil
dence that much OF this has reached
the Teutonic Powers.
Germany and Austria have received
American cotton, it is charged, through
Spain, Denmark, Holland, Sweden, Nor
way and Italy. The former five neutral
countries in the year preceding the war
imported $4,000 bales of American cot
ton. In 1918 they imported 1,99s.OOO
bales of American cotton, and in 1915
5000 bales. Expectations of Amer
lean cotton TO Italy have been so great
that there Is a strong suspicion that
much Of it is reaching the Central
Powers, particularly Austria, via
Switzerland
Italian Imports Increase
In 1914 Italy imported 26s,67s,5l6
pounds of American cotton, and in
1915 this was more than doubled, while
up to July IA Of the present year Italy
had imported 4o2 100000 pounds.
Italy has, it is stated, only 100000
cotton spindles, and Italian cotton
manufactures, according to reliable in
formation, are being operated only at
so per cent capacity on account Of a
shortage of fuel Italy is therefore re-
ceiving, it is stated, more cotton than
she can possibly manufacture or con-
sumo.
When Italian officials are questioned
regarding the heavy impor, ations the
claim is made that the surplus is being
shipped TO Switzerland. But-Switzer-
land has only 100000 spindles, it is
pointed out, and but a small percentage
Of these are in operation on account Of
fuel shortage.
Senator Weeks, OF Massachusetts, has
several times urged upon the Admin
istraton the necessity of placing cot
ton under export control, but without
success. it being alleged by both the
Treasury and State departments that
the most careful investigation dis
closed no cotton leakage TO the Cen
tral Powers
The real reason for the hesitancy of
the Administration TO place cotton un-
der export License. il is stated, is
caused BY political considerations. The
price of cotton has an intimate rela-
tion TO the prosperity of the Demo
cratic South, it is pointed out. and a
cotton embargo would greatly reduce
the tremendous profits made by South
ern cotton planters.
