This was announced at the department of commerce after a conference between department ofli- cials and officers of the National As- ation of Clothiers. “In spite of the fact that domestic manufacturers of dyestuffs are now producing mere dyestuff material than ever before, and théir output is ing, the production is scarcely suffi acient as yet to meet more than on half the demand,” the department statement said, ‘“‘and the variety of colors now produced by the domestic manufacturer is limited. ‘It should be reccgnized for the pesent that the grades of colors which heretofore have existed univer and have been demanded by the c suming public ir the United States cannot now always be obtained and that in spite of every effort manufact- urers of clothing and textiles are un- able to suprply the same quality of ma- terial which they furnished prior to the European war. s0C IN KANSAS.

This is pec the war to the end May, bringing the total credit since the outbreak of the war to 2,082,000,- 000 pounds ($10,410,000,000) —a sum, according to Premier Asquith, “Not only beyond precedent, but actu- @11y beyond the imagination of any financier of this or any other countr: Parliament was occupied yesterday entirely with financial questio Tremier squith spoke for fifty minutes presenting the govern- ment motion for the new war credits, The chancellor of ‘the ex- chequer, Reginald McKenna, followed with a statement regarding American cxchange, which, he said, was now as high as the British government wished it to be. War Cost Less Than $25,000,000 Da The point emphasized by Premier Asquith was not the enormous total recessary for the war, but the fz that by careful economy and guards the government had succeeded in holding down the expenditure well below 5,000,000 pounds a day, which figure he thought unlikely to be ex- ceeded at any time. “I feel the enormous whelming responsibility in ing the house for this gigantic sum,” said the premier, “and could not do so unless I was satisfied that the government had most carefully explored the ground. so that we are not asking for a penny more than the exigencies of cur cause and the great historic re- ponsibilities which we have under- ken require, and unle: are satisfied that every possible precau- tion is being taken to see that the tax- payers’ money is not being wasted.” England Loans Allies $485,000,000. Touching on the loans to England’s allies, Mr. Asquith said that the amount had now grown to nearly 169,000,000 pounds to which must be added loans to the allies by the Bank of England at the request of the British Government.

Trebitsch Lircoln, who, despite the de- nials of the Allies, maintains he is one of the most important ana most able of German spies, remained in solitary confinement in the Raymona jail, Brooklyn, yesierday, although he was anxious to see new rer men and, according to a government agent, was-“fretting to be interviewed.” While a certain line of investigation is under way the government authorities will keep Lincoln from talking. Later he is to be permitted to talk to his heart’s content.

There is, however, one thing which should be known and it is that the sympathies of the great majori- | ty of the American people go out clearly and indisputably for the al- lies.
