 When analine and other cheap dyes came into use many new and beautl- : full shades and tints were made pos sible, but, alasi they faded easily; fast colors ceased to be. The coal tar products even penetrated the Far East, and weavers of Oriental rugs, once coIored only with vegetable dyes, began to use the convenient substitute to the great distress of collectors. Perhaps the absence of the German dyes may result in the permanent adoption of better sub stitute, thus bringing good out of a temporary eViI.-IndianapOlis Star.

Lack of American Shipping Facilities Causes Suspen- sion of Trade With Alden. Italian Lines Have a Monopoly
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The lack of American shipping facilities is em phasized in statement issued by the state department based on a consular report from Arabia. The statement follows:
 The department has received from the American consulate at Alden, Ara bia, a dispatch stating that merchants of that port are complaining bitterly of the lack of shipping facilities between Alden and America, many merchants having had to discontinue business as their warehouses are full and they have no means Of shipping the contents to the United States. The dispatch furth- CT stated that Italian vessels are giving the preference to shipments for Italy, that there is no space for cargo to be transshipped to the United States and that the Italian lines have increased freight rates 100 per cent and passen- ger fares thirty-three and q third per cent since the outbreak of the war"

They found him unconscious on the floor of the room. He was carried down the ladder and revived soon afterwards at the Presidio hospital
 An inspection of the house by the board inquiry, and statements by Johnson established the fact there were fires in two open grates last night.
 A hole was found burned in the ceiling of the dining room. It sug gested that some live coals fell from the grate of the second floor, burned through and fell into the dining room. The course of the fire. appeared from the dining room into the large hall and up the stairs to the second floor.
 This theory was strengthened by Mrs. Boswens statement that she found the stairway on fire when she tried to descend.

 Meantime the cracking of the flames and the shouts of Mrs. Bos- well aroused Lieutenant Eugene Sant- schi, of the Ninety T1rsc Inr5ln5rY, Private c. J. Hazlitt and another sol dier. They ran to the house. Sant schi tried to force his way into the front of the house and Hazlitt broke open a rear door. Both were forced schi, Hazlitt and another soldier gath cred at the back door, where they found Mrs. Pershing's negro cook. He told them everybody was still in the house.
 When the three men ran around to the front of the house, on which most of the front rooms fronted, they found Mrs Boswell, her two children, and maid on the porch. The maid jumped and was caught by the men.

An American note to England on this subject has been in preparation for some time and probably will be dis . patched as soon as the negotiations with Germany are on the way to satis- factory adjustment. The communica- tion was practically completed when the allies action in declaring cotton contraband made re-drafting necessary
 In this connection it has been learned that Germany is preparing a protest against the acquiescence by the United States to the treatment of cotton as contraband. Iti is said the imperial government has already indicated a desire to purchase 30000 900 bales of cotton if delivery can be arranged.
 Additional affidavits and statements bearing with the Arabic reached the state department from Ambassador Page in London. The ambassadors mail report has not arrived, but off cials think cable advices have given the substance of all information ob- tainable in England.
