WASHINGTON, Aug 2i.-Instructions
have been sent to Amba ssador Gerard and

States
The matter is OF vital Importance to
the woollen. cotton. silk. leather and
other industries In this country that use
colors because the present supply is only
sufficient to keep such factories going for
about sixty days.
1t is estimated that when the present
supply is exhausted at least million
workers will he thrown out of employ
ment. For this reason every effort will
be made to get German dye stuffs.
If the reports show that no embargo
has been placed on the shipment OF
dye stuffs and that the Rhine Is open
for traffic officials will be sent abroad
to arrange for shipments. The Depart
ment also will send on the same mission

Long lists of dead and wounded are

Stories that German artillery proved
