FOR DIPLOMATIC TRIUMPH
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press
LONDON, Sept. 2.-polltical circles
here took the view today that Ger
manys yielding to the United States
will have little II any, effect upon
the negotiations now pending between
Great Britain and America for a modi-
hcation of the British order in coun-
ell.
No comment was obtainable at the
government Offices But II was stated
unoflicially that II England makes
concessions to the United states these
concessions will be made because the
government recognizes the merits OF
Americas arguments and not because
Germany has promised certain
changes in her policy OF submarnins
merchant men.
The English view today, as express
ed by the editorial comment Of Lon
don papers. was that President Will
son has scored an important diplo-
lmatic victory. The American presi-
dent IL was pointed out, has finally
succeeded in compelling Germany 70
recognize the usages Of international
law But political circles here ex-
pressed the opinion that the conces-
sions actually made by Germany were
few and in no way justified England

PRESIDENT s idea
Of Preparedness

Friends Of Wilson Expect
Him TO Please Both Army
and Navy Group
ALL AGREED AGAINST
half Billion EXPENSE
BY CHARLES P. STEWART,


WASHINGTON. Sept. Whether
or not the administration was de-
pending on success in its negotia-
tions with Germany to help President
Wilson in putting through his own
particular army and navy program
in the next Congress, politicians of
all grounds we're uniting here today
in expressions of opinions that this
emergency was the result his diplo-
matte victory would have
On the one side, it was contended
that the expansion extremists had
been robbed of much of their thunder
by the demonstration that even a
very threatening controversy can be
settled peacefully If the disposition
exists to settle it thus. On the other,
It was contended that the ultra-paci-
clfists, who thought the Presidents
attitude to dictatorial, have suffered
a severe setback in the demOnstra-
tion that II really was aimed cor
rectly at an amicable adjustment OF
German-American differences Of Opin-
ion.
Developments of the past few days
have convinced politicians that the
administration plans to shape mid
die course between the big and little
army and navy groups with the par
ties. Guesses as TO the extent of the
army increase he has in mind and
the number and kind Of warships he
wants added to the naval establish
ment are only "guesses." it has been
stated again and again. Just how
many more soldiers he thinks the
country needs. his plans for a mill
tary reserve and his program for a
navy of increased strength are still
"in hand" it has been stated repeat
edly on the best authority.
But this one thing has been admit
ted by cabinet officers and Senate and
House members with whom the Chiei
Executive has talked:
The administration opposes Eek
travagant". expenditures .ins the in
terests Of national defense which 4
holds may be carried beyond the
point Of reasonable necessity. Tha
IS to say. it considers s50O,000 1000
the sum frequently mentioned by the
a-expansionists-as too much.

CO. MAY
Start making Of
ALL DYESTUFFS
DR.. Chambers, Chief Chemist,
Has Long Conference
With Federal Expert
CONGRESS MAY ACT TO
ENCOURAGE INDUSTRY

Representatives of the p. I. DUPONT
de Nemours Powder Company and the
General Chemical Company, two OF
the largest industrial combinations,
have gone over the dyestuffs situation
this week with DR.. Thomas H. Nor
ton.c commercial agent of the Depart
ment of Justice, at the new bureau
for the promotion of the dyestuff in
dustry established in the Customs
House in New York city.
DR.. A. ID. Chambers. chief chemist
of the DUPONT Company. went from
Wilmington on Tuesday Immediately
after the publication of the news that
the bureau had been established He
was with DR.. Norton from 3 o'clock in
the afternoon until after midnight
Although DR.. Norton would not
comment on his interview with the
representatives of these companies.
he let il be known that with the chief
chemist of the DUPONT company he
had gone into details regarding the
manufacture of the highest grades of
aniline dyes In his bureau high hopes
were entertained that the company
would engage in the dyes industry on
large scale.
II was pointed out that the DUPONT
company is now the country's largest
manufacturer of the basic materials
/ for dyestuffs. Some of these materials
are not used by it in the manufacture
of explosives.
Organized as a combination of many
/ plants. the DUPONT concern has great
/ ly increased its capacity and the num-
ber of its plants since the outbreak
of the war. AS the demand for ex-
plosives will fall of at the end of the
war the utilization of many of tho
plants for the manufacture of dye
stuffs, with development OF some
plants for that purpose meanwhile, Is
understood to be the plan under con
! sideration.
I The representatives of both com
panles raised the point that they mus
have assurances of protection from
foreign competition when the wal
ends. They thought It doubtful
capital would 90 into the industry OF
a large scale If there were DANCE
that foreign competition after the
war might make the business un
profitable.
II was pointed out that a tariff o
80 per cent on dye stuffs now raises
a protective barrier against foreigi
goods. If this were not sufficient, /
was suggested that an appeal b.
made to Congress for an increase il
the duty to so per cent
As an alternative to a high duty. i
was suggested that Congress nigh
enact an anti-dumping law to pre-
vent the unloading on the United
States Of surplus products of othe
countries at slaughter prices.
When the above story, which wa
printed in New York newspapers to
day. was called to the attention o
Pierre S. DUPONT, president Of tn
DUPONT Company. today, he said h
did not care to affirm or deny it.
