New York, June 1l.-Semi- official de-
tails concerning the consolidation Of the
various American thread manufacturing
companies have been made public. The
scheme embraces the amalgamation OF
all the leading thread companies in this
country and England. According to re-
port the transfer of the stock of the Will
imantic Linen company, which is a
party to the consolidation, will be made
not later than July l. The stock will be
transferred to the English Sewing Cot
ton company, which is nominally con-
troled by three of the leading companies
in Great Britain. Sixty percent Of the
capital stock of the American Thread
company is said to be controlled by the
English syndicate. which has capital
ization of S5.00O.O0O while the Ameri-
can Thread company. which was or
ganized with English capital, holds only
about Sl00O,OO0 worth of stock in the

This wholesale attack upon the very
faithful, competent and energetic OFF,
GERS responsible for the issue of stores
seems to have been devised to bunco the
public and fix its attention upon stores
and supplies which these sensational
newspapers now propose to forward to
the so-called relief of the soldiers
at Camp Thomas. 1t is both an infa-
nous and very transparent game, and
as stated, based on qualified falsehood.
Among the other charges against the
camp, it is denounced as sickly. The
fact is, the sick rate has been steadily
decreasing ever since the camp was es-
tablished. General Brooke's orders to
prohibit the sale OF pop and other slop
in the park caused the sick rate to 60
down 20 percent in four days.
First. for it's cruelty to the friends of
the soldiers at home: next, for its in-
justice to the able commander and his
STAFF here, and lastly, for the implied at
tack upon the war department, the
whole business is diabolical. and those
