Wilson Cannot Speak
In Iowa, He Declares

President Wilson was asked today by
Congressman Connolly of Iowa TO 20 TO
that State next month and make one
or two political speeches in support of
Mr.. Connolly's candidacy for the United
States Senate. The President told Mr.
Connolly that in view OF the foreign
complications he believes that his pres
ence is demanded in Washington.
Congressman Henry of Texas, who
called primarily to assure the President
that the Rules Committee Of the House
was prepared to bring out a special
rule to expedite the passage of the Al
ministration's ship-purchase bill also
took occasion to soothe any ruffied feel
ings which the Administration might
have as a result of the nomination of
James E. Ferguson for governor on the
Democratic ticket. The Administration
was supporting Thomas H. Ball to the
extent of approving the action of Secre-
tary Bryan and Postmaster General
Burleson in sending letters indorsing
Ball. The latter was defeated by a
ma tority of 5000. Mr.. Henry. who sup
ported Ferguson. assured the President
this morning that the latter was thor
oughly progressive and an ardent ad-
mirer of the President. having pre-
sented to the State convention reso-
luton indorsing the latter's Admins

less. Lane Hears. {.

The United States today is abso-
lutely dependent on Germany for
some of the essential elements in
smokeless powder. If Germany stop
ped their manufacture or prohibited
export to this country we would be
helpless"
This startling statement was pom
dered by Secretary Lane and a group
of American manufacturers OF coal
tar products. at a conference in the
Secretary's office yesterday.
The private manufacturers asked
that the Government go into the
business of making nitro derivatives
so that byproducts could be utilized
by private manufacturers and used TO
stimulate American production.
1t was decided by the conference
that American manufactur could
not supply the deficit in dye-stuffs
resulting from cutting off the Ger
man supply.
1t was declared that in time OF war
We could not even supply our own
war materials without help from
Germany. even though we have plenty

hitherto imported.
Much of the more costly chemical
and technical glassware. as well. has
been manufactured abroad or made
here from raw material prepared in
Europe.
Interruption of imports has threat
ened exhaustion of domestic supplies
of raw material. and lens grinders
feel that the American manufacturers
must begin to replace the foreign goods
Great technical difficulties in pro-
ducing the extremely fine and uni
form qualities CT glass needed for in
struments of precision has hitherto
deferred the glass manufacturers of
the United States from competing in
this field. Glass factories. particularly
of workmen in the delicate operations
incident to making lens glassware,
Opticians and other users of these
products, howevere. declare that the
few attempts made by domestic pro-
ducers to manufacture such glass and
glassware have been successful and
that the high price commanded for
the products justifes the extreme risk
due to the slightest flaw making an
entire batch worthless.
If necessary. they say, skilled
workmen thrown into idleness abroad
can be brought here to teach Amer
leans the art. The ingenuity Of
Americans in conquering any difficult
technical and manufacturing prob
lens is pointed out by users of opti-
cal and fine chemical glassware as
evidence that the United States glass
factories can enter successfully into
this specialized field il they will be-
stir themselves.
