NEW CHIEF SECRETARY OF IRISH AFFAIRS By John Graudenz (Trrited Kern Stff Cnrrmpoodeni.) Berlin, May IS. While German statesmen ae pondering over tho problems of financial restitution to the allies, pleading dire poverty as a ground for making a minimum reparation ir their proposals to be advanced at (he Spa conference, her business chieftains are engaged in developing aj' new industry ersatz i cotton which may eventually repay ' all her.debts knd put her on her feet. Tills , ersatz-i-or substitute cotton is an outgrowth of the war. When Ger- many was unable to get. importations cf cotton to be t'used in manufacture of gun cotton hr chemists developed a . wonderful substitute consisting of wood ' cellulose, which looks and feels like the real material, j 'The manufacture of the substitute has now reached such a point of perfection that its promoters claim H may be , adapted to any use to which real cot- ton is put, and that if it is mixed with a little of the genuine material, or with wool, it can be waterprpofed. Y ' ' Some leaders in the industry declare j that just as beet sugar was developed after the war J of 1870, Just so la ersatz j cotton destined to arrive," making , Germany wealthy and eventually meet ing the world?s cotton shortage. : It is also pointed out that much land now de voted to cotton raising might be put to other agricultural purposes. , It is knowri that the Du Ponts In America have, been striving for a sim ilar development of the substitute, but the Germans cjaim they have not reached ' a satisfactory solution of the various ' problems Involved.

JThe . Zeppeflin works have two large passenger raft completed, but they are not operating--"largely because of the allied attitude. . The Germdns insist that the Versailles treaty does hot prohibit Germany from having a commercial air fleet. On the other hand, they realize the allies may interpret : thi treaty provision to "thsr.t effect and that Germany In that csve will be able to do little more than pro test. - n - . . .. . ; ;Kor that reason, preparations s'.re al ready being made to . transfer Toe air ship and aircruiser building yard to America.- H , V '2, ) v - " y BRITAIN HAS KEEK DISPUTE OVER OIL ALLIANCE FlANNED Observer Editor' Says England Must Choose Between Gas of Rockefellers or the Shells. r4 V ASS' 4- r ?'

J i . ' ... ; World Overlooking Ten Commandments, Says English Critic London. May 15. (L N. &) A scath ing attack on modern morals - is made by Agnes Edgerton Castle, famous Brit ish novelist. In an article in the Daily Express. She said, in part : "A startling good gospel is being preached nowadays. It is a gospel very far from the message in the Sermon on the Mount. It is 'designed to fit in with the frantic desire for pleasure, at any cost. Everything that is irksome or en tails self-sacrifice is to be cast aside. It is; interesting to watch the trend of the new teaching as it appears in modern fiction, journalism and on the lecture platform, i The old code, based upon the Ten -Commandments, is now derided as out of date. Morals must be "modern and new-fashioned." You can scarcely open a book or a newspaper nowadays without seeing something that our fore fathers would : have condemned as blas phemeous.: The suffragettes seek to abol ish all restrictions on divorce; "They contend these restrictions are the cause of unhappy marriages. You might as well say, as some persons do: 'Make no laws and then none will be broken." j ? : . " . Ijfty A. E. Johnson ! !nop. May 15. Interest iii.the futura of Great Britain's oil supply is tvecoming intense, arousing a bit- Ver controversy ; between adherents and opponents of the government's proposal; for an foil alliance" with foreign nations. L Opponents of the plan have grave fears of .foreign control of the supply under any such scheme, while defenders of the proposal advance the argument that Great Britain's output is but S per. cent of the total world's, produc tion and regard such an alliance as in dispensable for army, aviatibn and the navy. i ... .1 . DEPEJTD8 OX OUTSIDERS ' Some of those who are keenest in their opposition to the r alliance point out Great Britain has a monopoly of the Mesopotamia fields, but others point out that it would take years to accom plish the full development of this ter ritory, and in the meantime Great Brit ain would be entirely dependent upon outsiders for its ili . . ' .. Proponents of thealliance argue that the question is not what may be done ten jpears hence, but what may be done at otice. -' "Ave can't susiiend all ' use of oil dnr. lAg the next decade." they declare. y J. L., Garvin, editor of , the Observer, wno is very close to Lloyd George, re viewing the situation, declares ' that Great Britain depends absolutely upon foreign oil. for automobiles, t her oil driven, ships and for aviation purposes, and must choose between the Rockefel ler interests and the Royal Dutch con trolling the Shell interests. Rockefeller is impossible, he says, because. his vast interests cannot be controlled, and also because- he cannot deliver .the goods. The United States, he charges, is reck lessly using up her oil supplies and is soon destined to becotme a consumer rather than a producer. ALTERNATIVE FOB ALLIANCE ' - The other alternative is an alliance with ; the Shell interests, ?.which control world-wide supplies. The editor congratulates the ministry upon its preparations for some kind of an agreement, and urges Lord North cliff e to suspend the feud with Lloyd George to aid in making it effective. He ; concludes that the alternative commercial jingoism will produce .; the risk of "hamstringing. the entire trans port air service." ,f ; Gift for the Graduates At this' store you will have the opportunity to choose from a large and well-selected stock to gladden the hearts of the boy' and girl-graduates.

(By Catted News) Rome, May 15. Commenting up on the defeat of the government, the Jopolo Romano observes that Pre mier Nitti himself forced the vote on the minor question . Involved,; in order to avoid a more explicit issue condemning .both his internal and foreign "policies. It adds that the country cannot stand with him in the encouragement of disorder and a seditious attitude on the part of state employes. . ; . The Messagero regrets that a debate on the domestic policy was prevented by the vote, realizing Nitti's sincerity, and says that the crisis has hurt those who provoked it. . , , Writing of the Origin of the crisis, however, the Popolo Romano maintains that the real motive inspiring the oppo sition was the fear that Foreign Min ister Scialoia might have irretrievably compromised the country interests, and adds that the fact that the Jugo-Slavian delegation was composed of Italy's bit terest enemies produced a bad impres sion.
