NO COTTON FOR GERMANY
ALLIES BY ALL LAWFUL MEANS
WILL PREVENT STAPLE
REACHING ENEMY.
Great Britain and Her Allies Are Glv
ing the Situation Their Most
Careful Consideration.
LondonLord Robert Cecil, Parlia
mentary Under-Secretary for Foreigr
Affairs, in the course of a formal in
terview, defining the British Govern
ment's attitude in the complicated
cotton situation made this statement:
"The Allies must by all lawful
jueans prevent cotton reaching theii
nemies; it may be considered necea.
sary to make cotton contraband."
He refrained from, any hint that the
commodity would be removed from
the free list at any specific date or
that the government had evolved any
solution to meet the demands ol
American cotton growers and neutral
consumers. He stated explicitly how
aver that if cotton were made con
traband, England would consider th
ict legal and internationally justified
His statement, the first m behall
af the government, outside Parlia
ment relative to cotton, and coming
at a time when the public is clamor
ing for drastac action to shut off the
supply from Germany, is taken in
some quarters to presage this stei
oon. In his statement, which an
aounces that it describes the govern
ment's position on cotton "so far at
it is; at the moment possible to de
:ine it," Lord Cecil says:
"The British government, acting it
?onjunction with its Allies, is giving
'.he cotton situation its continuous
md most earnest consideration. The
government is iully aware of the im
oortance of cotton to America. Wc
fully understand that upon a satis
'actory adjuptient of the matter de

1'ERii NOTE
ON fi MUNITIONS
REGARDiNG; THE SELLING OF
2 WAR MATERIALS TO BELLI-
GERENT NATIONS.
-
NOtE FRIENDLY BUT FIRM
Jnited States Puts Forth Principle
Upon Which She Would Depend
in Case of War.
- Washington. The state depart
men made Tpublic its reply rejecting
view1? advanced in the recent Austrian
note which contended that exporta
tion of war. munitions from America
to Austria's enemies was conducted
oh such a scale as to be "not in con
sonajice with the definition of neu
trality." ' v
Tftough friendly in tone, the note
flatl denies the Austrian contentions,
and (recalls that that country and Ger
many furnished munitions to Great
Britain during the Boer War when
England's enemies could not import
such,; supplies. It insists that the
American Government is pursuing a
strictly ; neutral course and adhering
to a principle on whicn it would de
mand for munitions in the world's
markets in case it should be attacked
by a. foreign power.
"The principles of international
law,? the communication concludes,
"the; practice of nations, the national
safety of the United States and other
nations without great military and
navaj establishments, the prevention
of increased armies and navies, the
-adoption of peaceful methods for the
adjustment of international differen
ces, and, finally, neutrality itself are
opposed to the prohibition by a neu
tral nation of the exportation of arms,
amnjtunitlon. or other munitions of
war to belligerent powers, during the
progfesstof the wur.' ,
The United States asserts that it
cannot accede to the suggesttion that
it modify the rulesf of international
usage during a war on account of
special conditions and declares - the
idea of neutrality advanced by Aus
tria would "involve a neutral nation
in a mass of perplexities which would
obscure the whole field of interna
tional obligation, produce economic
confusion and deprive all commerce
and industry of legitimate fields of
anterpriae, already heavily burdened
by the unavoidable restrictions of
war.
Attention is directed to the fact
that Austria and Germany before the
war produced a great surplus of war
munitions and sold them throughout
the world "especially to belligerents1
and "that never during that erpiod
did either of them suggest or apply
the principle now advocated by the
imperial and royal government.'
A table of sules by Germany and
Austria to Great Britain during the
Boer war is appended to the note, and
It is suggested that had Austria and
Germany refused to sell arms to Great
Britain at that time "on the ground
that to do so would violate the spirit
of strict neutrality, he Imperial and
royal government might with greater
consistency and greater force urge its
present contention."

For Armistice.
Washington. -President Wilson on
his return from Corni3h was given a
comprehensive account of the Mexi
can situation by Secretary Lansing.
The secretary told the president
that official reports indicated that the
situation in the vicinity of Browns
ville was of a local character and
that quiet prevailed at Vera Cruz
where there had been some anti-for-
3ign determinations. He outlined in
detail the discussion of peace plans
at the New York conference of the
Latin-American diplomats. i
Neitner the president nor Secre
tary Lansing was inclined to believe
the situation required any further
precautionary measures than have
been taken in sending battleships to
Mexican waters and more Federal
troops to the Texas border.
They devoted most of their time
to a discussion of the inter-American
plan on which they are pinning their
hopes for the early restoration of
peace in Mexico.
The conference appeal to the Mexi
can factions has not yet been sent.
although signed by Secretary Lansing
and the Ambassadors and Ministers of
the six Central and South American
governments participating in the con
ference. A list of chiefs, generals,
and governors is being compiled and
as soon as the locations of all are
determined the appeal will be tele
graphed simultaneously to every part
of Mexico.

The Russian main army withdrew

Promptly at 11 o'clock President
McNeill called the convention to or
der, after which Rev. Euclid Mc
Whoter, pastor of Centenary Meth
odist church, invoked the divine
blessing upon the assembly. The ad
dress of welcome in behalf of the citjr-

Turner, of Louisburg, in a most fitting

Bride Eats Paris Green.
Newbern. Mrs. Pener Heat of Marl

ported that less than 24 hours after
her marriage she stated that she was
dissatisfied and a short time before
the poison caused her death, declared
this to be the reason for self-destruc

of Paris green and swollawed enough
of the contents to kill a horse, but
even then it was many hours before
death ensued.
Open Market September 15.
Durham. The tobacco board of
trade met and decided . to open the
Durham market September 15. That

housemen and others interested de
cided not to open the first of next
month as usual. ' .
Lexington Strike Ends.
Lexington. The strike at the. Dixie
