fulness OF the policy in the eyes Of Wash
ington. 1t also is observed that elaborate
machinery has been provided whereby
neutrals may recover noncontra and
goods seized in the execution of this
policy. but neither does this nonconfisca-
tory policy make the United States gov
ernment any the more disposed to sur
render what it regards as its inherent
right of trade with Germany.
The cutting off of American industries
from certain supplies purChaseable prac-
tically exclusively in Germany is regard
ed as tho most damaging effect likely TO
ensue from the allies policy. Importa-
tons of dye-stuffS. certain chemicals.
seeds and other products from Germany
is practically an essential to a number
Of American industries particularly to
the textile trades. Men in these trades
have declared that their industries will
be threatened with paralysis if the new
policy is made effective.
1t is likely Inquiry will be made Of
Great Britain as to whether the excep-
tons she has left herself free to make
will permit the importation Of these sup
plies. 1t Is much doubted here that the
British have any intention Of granting
material concessions IN this direction
though the indefinite character of parts
of the orders in council make such con-
cessions a possibility.

allowed to proceed to any German
port. Unless II receives a pass en-

from German port after March 1
Will be allowed to proceed on her yoy-
age with goods put aboard in sucn

man port carrying goods of enemy
destination or property may be re-
quired to discharge these goods at a

origin or property may be required
to discharge her goods at a British

Season in the Clothing Business.
Remember the clothing advertising of
month ago?
Remember how the clothing merchants
yelled in strong chorus about "cut- price sales'
and clearance sales and all that sort of talk?
And do you remember, too, that the domi-
mating item in all the "sale' ads was low price?
Very little mention was made of style, or fit,
or fabric-prce, price, price; that was all you
were told Of-then - Remember?
Yet when the season started and they talked
about those same clothes their talk was not
price, but "how good!'' "how fashionable!' and
"how perfect the fit!''
The circle is complete, spring is near, and
the high-price clothier once more gives you
bis siren song of fit and fabric" and sash
on,' but the opening high price of the clothes
is smothered by style talk.
A few months hence these very same
clothes will be offered to you at great "reduc-
ton"-and so it goes.
They get the long price when the season is
young and take less when the season wanes.
WHAT DOES 1T ALL MEAN?
1t means just this: You are asked to pay
from 500 to 1000 more at one time than
you are asked at another for the very same
suit.
1t means that the high-priced clothier either
makes an exorbitant profit early in the season
or less money at the end of the season land no
one is in business to lose money at any time)
