FOR COTTON BY
GERMAN
CHEMISTS
New Product May Prove Nation's
Salvation! and Be Means of

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.
Zeppelin Factory
May Be Transferred
To United States
By Karl If. Ton VTIegand
Berlin, May 15. Allied pressure to
forbid Germany to construct any aerial
craft whatsoever, together with Ger
many's fear tthat the government .may
be forced to bbey such a permanent in
junction, ma elevate the United States
to the foremost rank in the construction
of airships add make America the home
of the Zeppejlns and Schuette-Lans Air
Cruisers, conceded the most modern in
the world.
The directdr of the Zeppelin works is
now on the; i way to New York' and
Professor; J6hn Schuette, head of the
Schuette-Lana Airship Building yards,
leaves for New York soon, both with
the view to begotiating the transfer of
their: respective work to America.
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

German Protest on
African Troops Is
Declared Unfounded
"(Unitl ffJows Staff Correspondent) :
Paris. May 15. German protests
against alleged outrages on white wom
en by African negro troops in the ex
tended zone of . occupation were an
swered by the foreign office today with
a denial given to the lnited News.
. These charges were grossly exagger
ated, the foreign office declared, and in
the isolated. Instances of outrage the of
fenders were punished. It was pointed
out that the. negroes have all been with
drawn froni the extended rone and that
most of the negro garrison has left the
regular rone of occupation, being re
placed by white troops. -
Field Marshal to Get Another Bil

By Robert J. Prew r;
London, j May 15. As soon as aiv
other lucrative post has been foud
for him, Field afarshal Lord French
will be relieved as viceroy of Ire
land, . it ' is ' learned from aVirust-
worthy source. K : . ,:. : r; -.
Iord French, it la understood, is .un
able to work with the new cief secre
tary. Sir Ilamar Greenwood, and with
the new British military cfmraander in
Ireland, Sir; Is'evil t MacrrAdy, both of
whom are represented Ir authentic ad
vices from -Dublin as baing "disgusted"
with the inefficiency of the present
governmental methods of Dublin "Castle.
Macready is now in London. Both he
and Greenwood, it'appears. we in favor
of a sterner regime, despite recent re
ports that J they: were nlannin a con
ciliatory policy, i
Sir Nevil is said to De about to send
a number of cavalry regiments to Ire
land ehortly to patrol the outlying dis
tricts, where the Jrish Republicans have
recently been r? lsing incendiary havoc
with the police; barracks.
Sir Hamar,. i is learned, is Insisting
in his advit'e :.to the government on
drafting in a sufficient force to smash

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 ;

(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. ' f . ' !'
I'The vote in the chamber," it says,
"was nothing but a revolt of national
public sentiment against the Pallanza
conference."
j Following a cabinet meeting. Premier
Kitti visited the king and informed him
that he had decided to resign. Consul
tations Over the new government will
begin today. : :-. -'
