Germany will be defeated in this war
by cotton
This is what the National Associa-
ton of Cotton Manufacturers said to
congress today through Senator
Lodge. of Massachusetts The cotton
manufacturers declare that American
cotton is leaking into Germany and
that the Prussians are using it in
manufacturing explosives with which
to kill American soldiers. Careful
control of exports is urgently asked.
Nothing is being done to control
the export of cotton" says the COM
munfcation the Massa chusetts senator
sent ca the desk, Cotton is the basis
of explosives and has been leaking
to Germany through several sources.
1t would be deplorable condition to
ind out several months hence that our
own cotton is being used to manu-
facture explosives in Germany with
which TO fight our own army.
Figures show that neutrals have
imported ninety to one hundred mill
lion more pounds of cotton than in
peace times.
This is a war Of artillery. Germany
has lately had to import wood pulp
from Sweden for explosive manufac-
ture. But tho army with explosives
made from cotton will win.
Cotton for Germany has been seen
IN various neutral countries. The con-
troll OF this export means life or death

last night as to where the station

There Is only ons heid near Rich

at once.
This announcement was made TINS
afternoon after a conference between
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo ana
Claude kitchin. chairman of the ways
and means committee of the house.
Cotncident with the statement OF
the gigantic new bond issue, came the
decisions that much more money Is
needed by the administration for TINS
years demands at home.
II was practically agreed to ask for
q five billion dollar bond issue to pay
for the deficiencies in army and navy
work.
Legislation will add from half a
billion to one billion dollars more to
the present two-billion dollar war
revenue bill
However, it ia probable that neither
this bond issue nor the addition to the
war revenue bill will be made until
the December session of congress.
The new revenue in the bill will be
derived through more taxation.
To Carry Them Until June.
At the conference today Mr.. Nc
Adoo told Mr.. Kitchin that between
three and four billions would be need
ed by the allies. He said their de-
mands had exceeded all expectations
II was said that the new issue would
finance the allies completely until
June 80. 1918.
1t was also arranged at the con-
ference to push the new plan of war
insurance for fighting men through
congress as soon as the revenue bill
has been disposed OF. This means
that the body may remain in session
indefinitely. The La Toilette report
from the minority OF the senate finance
com mittee said the scheme agreed
upon by the majority for financing
the war this year was absolutely in

OFFICIALS HANDLING REPORT
IN GINGERLY FASHION

Washington. Aug. 14.-Officials Of
every sort are handling the report Of
the pope's note to the belligerents in
such a gingerly manner that all Wash
ington is convinced tonight that the
situation is pregnant with real pos.
sibilitfes of peace.
Secretary of State Lansing early
volunteered the Information that he
had known Informally OF such a move
for several days.
This afternoon he absolutely refused
to be questioned about it. The latter
position was taken after he had at
tended the cabinet meeting. 1t Is sup
posed to have been suggested by the
president.
The papal legation and the Spanish
embassy here refuse in any manner
to be interviewed. or to deny or at
firm that the note has arrived.
Allied and neutral diplomats are
guardedly commenting to the effect
that this may be Germany's cry for
mercy, They do not accuse the vatican
of playing Germany's game.
What they do say is that Pope
Benedict. praying and working for
peace for years, may now have found
through Austria willingness on the
part of Germany to make an offer
which the United States and the en-
tente will consider.
Several purported sketches OF the
terms contained in the vatican note
were circulated in Washington today.
The identity OF several terms in these
sketches gave color to their authen-
ITCHY. Furthermore, these terms
meet In a remarkable way the general
demands which President Wilson has
from time to time voiced for peace
without victory"
Alleged Terms.
Here are the alleged terms as they
were repeated in the various rumors.-
The reduction OF ornaments
The freedom of the seas.
Restoration OF Belgium, Servia and
an autonomous IL not an independent.
Poland.
Restoration of Germany's colonies.
The determination OF the status OF
Alsace Lorraine, and the Trentino to
abide the decisions OF an after-wAr
conference.
The bitterness of CONFLICT to end
with the last shot. No economic war
after the war.
Diplomats In discussing these terms
divide them into two classes

In the first they place those which
