AL SILKTS NOW BOUGHT BY U. S. Factories Turns New . Manufacturing “By Carl D. Groat y * (United*Press Correspondent) Berlin; Oct.»20. " (By Mail.—Fac- tories whiehsformerly made the stuff to deal deathonthe west front are iow turning out-wonderous artificial sflk to adorn womankind and man- {kind. . The artifici k jndustry, already underway before the war, has been greatly augmented and is now in a position to establish a considerable competition notsalone with the real _:silk industry ‘but with the artificial silk factories of other lands. German experts are striving now to overcome the drawbacks attendant aupen the artificial brand, or “Kunst- geide,” as they call it. Dampness has a deteriorating effect but research work shows that this disadvantage will soon be disposed of. American buyers are manifesting a strong interest in the new busi- ness and declare that there is a great demand for this product. Herr Geheimrat Hagemann, chief of the artificial silk branch of the governmerft's economic ministry, told the United Press: . “This silk was made in Germany even before the war .in considerable quantit But the demand for it has increased since'the war, since the spirit of al people since the war and revolutionary period is for a better life and this is expri in one way thru the universally prevalent desire of the woman's world for gay cololrs “In addition to the old silk facto les of pre-war times, jhere are now a number of former explosive factor- fes engaged in producing the arti- ficial product. This is explained by the fact that both explosives and ar- tificlal silk are derived from cellnlos Among others, the big explosive fa tories in Koeln-Rottweil are being ccnverted into silk factories, while the explosive factory at Zehlendorf, near here, along with numerous other factories are engaged in the same oc- cupation. ““This industry is especially import- ant for Germany hecause we do not need to import the raw materials therefor. And, despite the fact that in recent weeks the industry has been limited by the nation is producin of the raw s products like and so on. cially in a,po ecl compet tion since we know about dyeing, and *¢ the goods have proven durable and of manifcld variet) Geheimrat ind ed his bellef that . ‘the pre-war demand for “mode-articles would spring up again especially since Germany was in a . Position to, ver them on the world market at low prices. Recently American experts have been looking over the neld, and it is believed that they are either prepar- ing 1o buy large quantities of the German product or else to attempt to acquire German silk factories.

Four months ago the Jomar left,New York harbor with a cargo of Amer- ican flour for Armenia, which was sent by the Near East Relief. After discharging the flour, the Jomar was loaded with Manganese at the Georgian port of Poti. The steel men of England were especially eager to receive this cargo of Georgian Manganese, as it is re- puted to be the best'in the world. anganese is one of the essentials n the manufacture of steel and the English steel mills have been desper- ate for it since the outbreak of the war. 8 For the past eighteen months the British mission in the Tiflis and Batoum have tried to gain control of the Georgian Manganese output, and hdve only received the first cargo now. It was impossible to get this product out of the Black Sea .while the Turks held Constantinople. Then when the Russian revolution broke out all work in these. mines was stopped and during the last year and s|a half of disturbed conditions nothing could be done to gat the Manganese mined and delivered to Poti for ship- ment. The Georgian government has tak- en over all mines and operates them a government affair. The product is then disposed of on a barter basis. Manganese is sought by steel manu- facturers everywhere and is ex- changed for --agricultural . and elec- trical machinery, household ard cook- ing‘utensils, and all sorts of “articles that are lacking in the Transcaucasus. In this manner the constant fluctua- tion in the foreign exchange rate on the rouble is absorbed: Otherwise the individual producer would-be un- able to buy anything in a foreign market, for owing to the constant! to recall who the second one was, and fluctuation in the value of the rouble’ then suddenly remembered, “Lenine.” | he might not have money enough to: Fe knew nothing more about him, and pay for what he “ordered: on its| giq not know the names of any other | arrival. 2 i | commander. | it *‘le kept saying “Everyone on our | side is a Bolshevik,” and seemed to be ; ! impressed with the great power and authority of ‘the.
