 Major Mitchell.

Maj. William A. Mitchell, United States army, who has been reported as flying over the German lines at Verdun and elsewhere during the past few weeks. is a we'll known of- ficer of the United States Signal
 corps. He was born in France (of American parentagel in 1879 and was appointed to the United States Mili- tary academy from Wisconsin in 1897. He graduated from the army school
 of the line in 1908 and from the army staff college the following year. In 1913 he was appointed to the general staff corps. Major Mitchell was one of the first regular army officers to

The New York Times reports that cotton is to be made one of the com modities whose export must be li- censed. The ground for this action is stated to be the suspicion that large quantities of cotton have been forwarded to Germany by the neutral countries of Europe.
 Officials here (Washington) have viewed the situation with deep con- cern, says the New York Times re- port, and have refused absolutely to discuss it, pending formal action by the exports council and the president. Between 90,UG0,O00 and 100,- 900 900 pounds of cotton from this country, above the normal require ment of the neutrals of Europe, is believed to have been taken by them since the war began.
 This is not half the story, says the New York Evening Mail. commenting on the report. Germany got from us a far larger amount of cotton than these figures indicate. From August, 1914, to March. 191T. inclusive, we sent direct to Germany 242.661 bales of cotton. In that same period Italy, Holland and Scandinavia-all of them at that time neutrals, adjacent to the central powers-received 1,66S.S46 bales of cotton more than they had received in the same months of 191S- IA. Without the slightest doubt, nearly all of this cotton was for warded to Germany. Altogether, in those eight months, Germany got 1,911,507 bales, about 955.753.50 pounds of cotton. Through what off cial laxity in Washington was this vast amount of cotton allowed to move to Germany, now our enemy?
 As a matter of fact. this move ment to Germany did not accur with out the severest opposition of the British government, the Evening Mail continues. Great Britain did all she could to prevent the shipment of a pound of cotton from here to Ger many and Austria, which normally takes 3.OOo,O0o bales of our crop. So successful was the British effort that the price of cotton on the farm dropped from 12c in July to 6c in September.
 The South was up in arms. It demanded that the German quota be allowed to go forward and re- move the pressure from the market. < A committee of southern senators, headed by Hoke Smith of Georgia, called upon the British ambassador and had a frank talk with him, the details of which have never been published. The result. however, was to get from Sir Edward Grey, then the British foreign minister. a state ment that Great Britain would in the future offer no opposition what ever to the shipment of our cotton to Germany, direct or indirect. The result was. that up to April l. 1915, we had shipped to Germany 1885, S46 bales via the adjacent neutrals, and 242,661 bales direct, or 1.911.- 5O7 bales in all. The relief to the southern market was very welcome, and cotton reached 1011c per pound
