As result of prospects for exporting the staple in larger quantities to foreign countries, where the stocks of the conn modity are at the vanishing point, and because of private advices reporting the removal of the curtailment order, en- forced on British spinners during the war, the market was higher this morn ing.
 Washington press reports are to the effect that the war trade board has adopted no general change of policy as yet regarding export licenses for cot ton, but 1t is known to have adopted a more liberal attitude in granting H. censes when application is made
 Restrictions on cotton exports were aimed to prevent cotton from reaching Germany and on account of the need for conservation. It is recognized now by l the board it Vas said yesterday, that 1 there is not much danger of cotton ind 1 ing it's way into Germany and that there l is not so much need to conserve this | commodity as before the armistice was | signed Senate members from the cotton belt states are holding conferences to se- cure joint action in urging the war indus l tries board to modify or revoke the erfi- bargo against cotton shipments aJroad | Except for the present ban on specula-

 During the past four years European l consumption of American cotton was re- duced nearly 50 per cent, or from SCOT 900 l in season of le1S-l9l4, to 4,525.0o0 for the season of lsl1-191S, causing the supply of cotton goods abroad to become so scarce as to make it necessary. according to press advices for central Europe to re-
 sort to the making of paper wearing ap- parel, there being no other substitute.
 Under the circumstances, it would seem
 as if there is little room for further

 cially if export restrictions are revoked,

 which event the prospects for a substan-

Mustard Gas Warfare
Uncle Sam Plans to Giue Hun Dose of HIS Own Medicine
New York Times.

its cost The question arose as to whether
it could be made more cheaply or rapidly.
SO the experiments continued.
Everyone should have patience. We can
beat the Germans at this game just as we
can beat them at any other, but the manutac-
turing chemists Of America have only re-
Gently been unleashed We can go the limit
now, but we had to get Uncle Sans word
first. The chemists couldn't wage private
war on Germany, much as they might have
liked to do it.
The Germans are using two types OF gas
shells, those which explode by percussion
and those which carry time fuses. Occa-
sjonaly they drench territory with shells,
some of which have long time fuses and
some short-tme fuses, so as to effect the
greatest possible concentration of gas in
given sector.
"a question arises as to how the Germans
can advance through territory they have sub
Jected to this gas. If the territory is un-
tenablc for the allies it is untenable for the
Germans, too That is why some persons
wonder that they can make such great gains
with it. We are likely to think of the battle
front as being a solid line. like the maps we
see daily, with another line of trenches back
of that. If the western front were level
plain, like an Illinois prairie, that would be
fairly true of it, and gas would not be so
useful for the Germans; but the situation
actually is that there are certain strongly held
posts, such as KENNEL hill of Messines ridge,
around which the fighting centers 1t is
against such positions that the Germans have
been using gas. They do not use it inds-
criminately. And, once the allies are forced
by gas out of strong position, they must
fall back to others prepared in the rear. Maps
are supplied to the German troops showing
gassed areas and in the advance they may
avoid them until they are safe for occupancy.
"One reason the mustard gas is so danger
GUS is that it seams so innocent. The smell
ls faint, and it is not especially disagreeable.
The vapors from the liquid can be inhaled
without any immediate discomfort. The ef-
feet has been called chemical pneumonia
The symptoms are similar-hgh fever, ster-
torous breathing and sometimes stupor. Au-
topsies have shown that the effect of the gas
on the lung tissues has been such that they
break down like wet paper"

Why Traffic Rules Are Not obeyed.

That's right, judge" admitted an auto owner
in police court, after hearing the testimony Of
the arresting officer. "Not right, but true cor
rected the judge, and he dismissed the case.
Here is part OF the daily record. Last week
reckless driver was at the police station, con-
fronted by his victim, girl who had been
knocked down and seriously injured. "He has
been punished enough" said the girl, and the
driver was turned loose.
Where does the public come in! Traffic laws
and rules are made to protect the people who
must use the streets. They are violated with
impunty by careless, reckless or thoughtless
drivers Police officers are slow to make arrests
because, even when the culprits admit their guilt,
the police judges dismiss the cases or administer
but nominal fines.
Omaha streets will not be made safe until
more rigid enforcement of reasonable traffic regu-
lations is the practice. The practice of dismissing
offenders will not bring about the reform that is
needed. Some means of impressing this on the
minds of the police judges should be found.

A Dangerous Mixture.

Adjourned politics" continues to exhibit the
beauties of the plan. One phase that might
ordinarily escape attention has to do with the
coincidence of the next Liberty loan drive and
the fall elections. None will presume to say that
any direct connection exists between the two but
it must strike folks peculiar that the secretary
of treasury hit on the month of October as the
time for asking the people to subscribe to the
big loan. 1t so happens that just at that time
the democrats will be on the stump asking to be
returned to congress- and it might turn out that
somehow the two affairs will get mixed. At any
rate, the president, vice president, cabinet Of
fcers and all the heavy political artillery Of the
administration will then be in acton-pleading
the cause of the Liberty bonds, but incidentally
telling Whit the party has accomplished. Voters
will possibly be able to discriminate between the
two drives, but the opportunity for confusing
them is quite apparent, Politics, however, has
been set aside in Washington.

Ferry First and Then the Bridge.

Auto truck transportation has had the effect
of revving the project for ferry across the Mis-
souri, river south of the city. This has been
mooted many times within the last score of years,
and several times has been on point of consum-
nation. At one time ferry did exist in the
vicinity OF Bellevue and its business was con-
siderable, it finally succumbing before govern
ment snag boat. Several times the erection of q
bridge somewhere south of the city has been
seriously talked of, the Rock Island having been
reported to be backing the plan. All this has
come to naught, while the farmers on the Iowa
side have found it necessary to make long de-
tour to reach the market of Omaha with their
stuff A safe and reliable crossing OF the river,
either by bridge or ferry, that will shorten the
distance and save time as we'll, should be of great
service at this time. The establishment of the
ferry will demonstrate the possibility of future
traffic great enough to warrant the building of
the bridge, that will surely come il the business
warrants its existence.
