Washington, D. C, June 28. An ex
port total of approximately $75,000,000
is the indicated recard of American
manufactures of cotton goods in the
. fiscal year 1915, while imports of cot
ton manufactures will probably fall be
low $50,000,000, making the balance
of trade on the export side about $25,
000,000, as against an import balance
in every earlier year in the country's
history, save in 1905, when the excess
of exports in this group was about
1,000,000.
In the ten months of the current
fiscal year down to May 1. the exports
of cottcn manufactures, amounting to j
?o 1,900,000, have already exceeded by
? 4,000,000 the largest record of any
complete fiscal year prior thereto. The
highest level previously recorded byi
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, Department of Commerce,
was $53,700,000 in 1913, and the next
highest level was $52,900,000 in 1906,
which was the culminating year of the
big export movement when China was
taking unusually large quantities of
American cotton goods upon the re
opening of her markets at the close of
the Russo-Japanese war.
Up to the present the cotton man
ufacturing industry of the United '
States has been chiefly occupied in
meeting the requirements of the home
market. Thus while the production of
cotton manufactures rose from $268,
000,000 in 1890 to $628,400,000 in 1910,
the last census year, exports of that
class increased from $10,050,000 to $33,
400,000. Imported cotton goods, how
ever, did not fully participate in the
increased consumption, since they only
rose from $29,900,000 in 1890 to $66,
500,00 in 1910, with a subsequent de
cline to about $50,000,000 in the cur
rent year.
The following table illustrates the
progress of the cotton manufacturing
industry of the United States in for
eign trade:

The decrease in Imports of cotton
goods in the ten months was $21,
600,000 and the increase in exports
of that group was $14,600,000 compared
with a . like period of the fiscal year
1914. Ten months' imports of Euro
pean laces aggregated $18,000,000, a
decrease of $12,000,000; of European
cloths, $6,000,000, a decrease of $4,
000,000; and wearing apparel, $4,000,
000, a decrease of $1,000,000. Ten
months' exports of wearing apparel
amounted to $25,00,000, a gain of $16,
000,000 for the period, chiefly in sales
in Europe. Cotton cloths for the ten
months showed a total of 305 million
yards, a decrease of 48 million from
last year's figure. We sent to China
only 13 million yards, compared with
79 million in ten months of last year;
to South America, 26 million, against

.WETS AND DRYS
By Associated Press.
Springfield, 111., June 2S. A new
campaign issue between "wets'' and
"drys" in Illinois which may be used
in other states, took life during the
closing days of the Illinois legislature.
It was embodied in a bill that pro
posed that saloonists who are put out
of business by popular vote should
be recompensed to the full value of
their stocks and fixtures and compen
sated for the "good will" attached to
their places of business. This expense
was to come out of the public funds
of any community voting out the sa
loons. 1 ,
The bill was introduced into both
branches -of the state assembly. It
was buried in a hostile committee in
the senate. In the house it was re
ported favorably and advanced to sec
ond reading where it died in the
closing days of the session without
coming to a vote.
Proponents of the measure have in
dicated, however, that while circum
stances ,gave them no hope of suc
cess in the 1915 legislature the bill
would be re-introduced in 1917 and
that meanwhile its provisions would
be used as campaign material else
where. Opponents of the proposal as
sert that the sole object of the liquor
interests in introducing the bill is to
provide a "club to hold over towns
and cities." They point out that
should the measure become law, com
munities voting "dry" would not only
lose revenue but be mulcted of the the
cost of the saloons in solid cash. The
anti-saloon people also said that
they saw in the bill chances for
illegitimate private gain in that sa
loonists who visioned the "handwrit
ing on the wall" could lay in large
stocks of liquor previous to elections,
lose little or nothing if the vote re
sulted in their favor but gain a con
siderable cash sum if the anti-saloon
forces won. The bill provided
that the saloon keepers should receive
a refund of the exact price paid to
the wholesaler for his stock and fix
tures. The history of the bill in the house
began late in the session. There were
two committees dealing with saloon
questions, one. called the "temper
ance committee" being composed "of
"drys" and the other, denominated
the "liberals' committee" being com
posed of "wets." It was to this lat
ter committee that the bill was re
ferred. A public hearing was an
nounced on the bill and a special
train load of liquor dealers and man
ufacturers came to Springfield from
Chicago and. other parts of the state.
Levy Mayer, a Chicago attorney, was
announced as the spokesman for the
allied , liquor organizations and - deliv
ered an argument in favor of the
bill. No opponents of the measure
were heard. '
Mr. Mayer argued tHat the supreme
court of the United States had recog
nized the saloon as a legitimate bus
iness enterprise. He said that it nec
essarily followed that the saloon
keeper was entitled to recompense
if his business were abolished by law.
He pointed out that millions of dol
lars have been invested in the man
ufacturing and dispensing of liquor
and that hundreds of thousands or
persons gain their, livelihood through
employment in the business.
tl.S.CITIZENSHIP
NOT VITIATED BY
FOREIGN SERVICE
Washington, June 28. If an Amer
ican citizen who Was an alien, goes to
Europe to fight for any one of the
warring nations, will he be allowed
to land again in the United States in
case he is crippled?
Judson C. Weill ver, investigator of
many subjects, has looked into this
question and he answered it as fol
lows: "A citizen of the United States con
tinues such no matter what happens
to him, so long as he does not re
nounce his citiztnship and swear al
legiance to another government. He
if entirely at liberty to do that if he
likes and the United States is large
ly responsible for the fact that most
countries now permit their citizens
to expatriate themselves.
"The time was not so very long
ago that some European countries
wounld not admit that their citizens
could divest themselves off the citi
zenship with which they were born.
It needs no especially accurate recol
lection of the war of 1812 to bring
to mind that at that time England in
sisted on the doctrine "once an Eng
lishman, always an Englishman," and
assumed the right to take sailors of
American vessels and impress them
in the British navy, despite that they
might have become citizens of the Uni
ted States.
"The United States objected to that
doctrine and fought a war in no small
part to emphasize its objections. The
peace which ended that war did not
bring any guarantees of the very
thing involved, because as a matter of
plain fact the United States, high
school text books to the contrary not
withstanding came out of the war with
small credit and excellent, reason to
be thankful to its diplomatic agents
at Ghent who secured . a peace on
terms not positively humiliating to
this nation, s
Some day the public will learn how
great a service was performed by
Mr. Adams, Mr. Clay an dtheir asso?
ciates on the peace commission; they
did for the Unittd States precisely
what the Russian emissaries at, the
Portsmouth conference did for Russia,
won honorable terms at the end of a
most disastrious war by dint of super
ior diplomacy.
"Many years after that war England
resigned, formally and definitely, her
claim that an Englishman once was
an Englishman always. Today most
of the world recognizes the privileges
of changing citizenship.
"Now concerning the' case of an
American citizen who goes back to
Europt to fight in the army of any
of the countries. He does not divest
himself of his rights as an American
citizen by that fact. The. only way
he can divest himself of those rights
is by foreshadowing his allegiance to
America and becoming a citizerr of the
alien state. Even if he commits a fel
ony, which costs him his rights as a
citizen, he does not lose his characttr
as such. Though the crime may cost
him, for instance, the right to vote,
it does not make him any less a citi
zen. "An American citizen who goes to
the war zone to fight, whether for
the country of his birth or for any
other, will be readmitted to the Unit
ed States on proof of his citizenship
here; and that, whether or not he
may have been maimed in his service
abroad. -
"For the purpose of getting into the
country at least, the rule of "once an
American, always an American," ap
plies. This country Goes not make it
a crime or an offense to fight for
another country so long as it does not
involve disloyalty to this country.
"But the case of a person of alien
birth, resident in the United Statts,
who goes away to fight and . then tries
to re-enter the states, is different. The
immigration laws must decide it.
"When he first came in, with good
health and - reasonable assurance of
not becoming a public charge, he
was welcome. Perhaps he may have
lost a leg ,6r two in the war, and come
back in such condition that he threat
ens to become a public charge. In
that event the immigration laws leave
discretion under which he may be excluded.
"If before going away he shall have
declared his intention to become a
'citizen here, the chances are that he
will get in; likewise, if on his return
substantial relatives or friends can
give satisfactory asurance that he
will not become a public charge, he
will probably get in.
"There is, however, a considerable
range of discretionary authority in the
immigration officials.
"The best advice to give an unnat
uralized alien is ,to declare his inten
tion of becoming an -American citizen
before going away; after that he is
likely to be able to get in again; and
above all things, every alien-born Am
erican who goes abroad to -war should
equip himself with the proper papers
to demonstrate his allegiance or the
fact that he has made the declaration
of his intention."

English Quakers and the War.
The Springfield Republican
The English Quakers appear to have
acknowledged the right of members
of their society to enlist for .the pres
ent war. A document signed by lead
ing Quakers conveys a message to "all
fellow-members of the society of
Friends who In this present crisis
have deemed it their highest duty to
enlist in the army and navy." The
message says: "Not all who sign
this letter would have seen fit to do
as - you have done, though many of
us are in complete sympathy with
your action We all, however, believe
that great diversity of personal opin
ion and conduct is necessarily found
in Our society." J A Pease, former
president of the Board of Education,
who retired from the Cabinet when
the coalition was formed, has also
written a letter, in which he, as a
Friend, and president of the Peace
Society, commends Friends who have
gone to the front, and says that while
