Startling figures have been submit- ted to the members of the defense ¢ouncil and its advisory board to ghow that Germany has obtained tre- mendous quantities of this commod- fty through neutral countries. For instance, it has been shown that in 1974 Sweden alone sent into Ger- mapy apuroximately 9,800,000 pounds of ‘'cotton. Later figurés are not available in regard to the exports from that country into Germany. Officials here have viewed the sit- uation with deep concern, and have refused absolutely to discuss it, pend- ing formal action by the exports council and the president. Tt can be said, however, that great pressure has been brought to bear to shut down on American exports of cotton to nsutrals, and thus make it impossible for Germany to manufacture explo- sives from the products of the United States. Between 90,000,000 and 100,000, 000 pemnds of cotton from this coun- try above what is believed to he the normal requirements of the neutrals of Europe is believed to have been taken by them since the war began That statement is based on official figures which have been submitted to the government. Spain, Denmark, and Norway are sharing in the tre- mendous increase, which vastly ex- ceeds their needs. The five countries it was stated on the highest au- sterday, received approx- 000 bales of cotton in the crop vear 1915-16. In the year 19 14, just before the war, they Necutrals Took 1,998,000 Bales. And the most alarming situation is shoyn by the figures which the Gov- ernment has in its possesion for thc crpp year 1914-15, when the FRu- ropean neutrals took from the United States no less than 1,998,000 bales an amount th finds no precedent in the export history of America. Holland got about 35,000 bales the year preceding the war, 520,000 bales in the first year of the war, and about 100,000 bales in the second year of the war, when England, rea- liging the seriousness of the situation, shut down on the imports. Norway absorbed less than 2,000 bales in 1913-14, and in the following year This was cut nd 16,000 in amazing in- Porter U. Blinn Porter U.

Dunn, who was defeated at a recent election thérity v for delegate to the National Hebrew imatel torney M, I xe, still maintains that the clection was illegal, due to the fact that 45 votes of persons not elfgible to vote were counted for the winner, whose majority was but 39 votes.

G. Phelps Stokes, the wealthy socialist who re- signed from the socialist party be- cause of its attitude toward the war, announced yesterday that a general conference will be held in September to form a new socialist party, in- tended to gain membership from the dissatisfied among all parties and particularly those persons who advo- “political and industrial democ- Stokes gave out a statement which read in part thus: S extensive group changed a thousand letters on this subject during the last six weeks, and they consider the prospects for the new. party very bright A num- ber of conferences preliminary to the September conference have alr ady been held. “Hundreds of thousands of Amer- ican voters who believe in the fund. mentals of democracy helieve that something more should be done than the old parties have done to intro- duce democratic principles in indu trial relations. They believe. that none of the old parties have been sufficiently aggressive in the work of eliminating special privilege. “The American pebple are coming rapidly to demand that the rewards for service go to those who serve rather than to those who gather up the fruits of those who toil. The party which boldly supports that con- tention and gathers men and women of suflicient abili v to win the con- fidence of the people, will have a very potent inflence in the polifical life of the nation. That such a party is | about to he organized 1 have not the | slightest shadow of a doubt. “We 'welcome to our ranks those | who believe in the new ideal and who | will concentrate their efforts in the ! new direction regardless of the' usual | socialist party shibboleths." Morris Hiliquit, who has been nom- | inated for the mavyoralty by the os- tablished socialist party, issued a .long | statement declaring that the “forces has ex- i in Germany of reaction” compel him to accept the pomination against his personal in- clination. He suid he expected to be “bitterly and unscrupulously attacked, misrepresented, slandered, harassed and persecuted,’ 'and therefore did not feel at liberty to withraw. He said he npoctod. to poll a strong vote. DRIVEN INSANE BY TERRORS OF U-BOAT Survivors of Sunken Ship Lose Minds While Adriit (Correspondence).

The submarine, he stated, sped away without sinking any of the hoats con- taining the survivors. the chief officers’ hoat sons, including two women baby of a few months. The store- keeper became insane and it was necessary to tie his hands and feet to prevent him from injuring the others. A cattleman made four tempts to jump overboard and finally succeeded. He was drowned. The deck boy died in the boat. “Although we had showers,” he adds, “everything was so turated with salt that the little rain we caught was undrinkable. We tried licking the oars, tillers and seats of the boat, but the continued salt spray coming over rendered this of little use, Itinally we broke up the water barrel in order to lick the inside of the staves, which we found saturated with moisture and, to us, delicious." When the survivors reached the Spanish fishing village of Carino, two members of the crew who had be- come demented, refused to leave the boat and it was necessary forcibly to drag them out. One man expired as he was taken from the lifeboat.
