FREIGHT TRAFFIC LIGHT.
River and Bay Craft Idle Through
Lack of Business.

The freight traffic on the Potomac
and Chesapeake bay continues very dull,
and many vessel masters are laying
up their boats to await better BUSH

Lanclott, which arrived here early in
the past week with a load Of wood
aboard. is the last vessel to tie up, and
she will shortly be taken, 1T is said. to
the Eastern branch to remain until
good business can be found for her.
About the only sailing craft in COM
mission on the Potomac are those
owned by the wood and lumber dealers
who are employed in running cargoes
for their owners.
The lack of freights is due to the
fact that little cord wood has been cut
along the Potomac in the past year.

is dead owing to the light demand here
for lumber for building purposes.

DISPOSED to Meet This Country
Half Way, Declares Schuette,
Correspondent.
INABILITY TO UNDERSTAND
EACH OTHER is BLAMED
Premature Publicity Given Notes on
Lusitania Regarded by Writer
as Unfortunate.

Germany is not really hostile toward
the United States. She is disposed to
meet the United States half way and to
concede whatever is reasonable. accord
ing to Oswald Schuette. who for many
months has been in Germany as repre-
sentative of the Chicago Daily News
and who returned to Washington on a
brief visit today.
Mr.. Schuette Is we'll known in Wash
ington as a newspaper and magazine
correspondent and is a former presi-
dent and former secretary of the Ma
tional Press Club. He expects to return
at once to Germany.
The German government ana the
American government have been I'M
fortunately unable to understand each
other, Mr.. Schuette says. ut Is az
though the United States was talking
English and the fatherland German.
The viewpoint and mental attitude are
not the same. And the German opinion
is unfortunately biased by the idea that
the United States Is prejudiced against
Germany and favorable to her enemies.
Decries Premature Publicity.
I'm the notes over the Lusitania dis
aster Germany Is willing TO concede
some points. but there are others the
officials feel they cannot concede. 1t
has been unfortunate that the notes
have all been printed in the newspapers
before they reached the government
headquarters. The United States ad-
ministration has tried honestly to
avoid this by holding up the publicity
those in authority could not forsee
what delays there might be in trans
mission of the note. and so 1t was as
fact printed in the papers before the
German authorities got it.
This has created the impression
that the notes are being written for
newspaper audiences rather than to
automatically reach an adjustment of
the international differences. 1t has
the same appearance as trying legal
had hearing in court.
1T is. of course. impossible to make
any one who had relative destroyed
on the Lusitania reconciled to any
she had a cold legal right to blow up
the ship. And 1t is in conflicts of feel
ing such as this that things have come
to a crisis between Germany and the
that leaders of each side cannot get to-
gether quietly and dispassionately and
reach an agreement"
At a Deadlock in France.
Mr.. Schuette was up to three weeks
ago with the German army in the
trenches in France. At that time. he
says, neither side had made any mate
rial advance since he was in the
trenches in March. There will be no
real dent in either line, he says, until
one side or the other Is willing to sac
rifce a million men. and then the only
made.
Germany IL still very confident, Mr.
Schuette says. They have vast re-
fident of ultimate victory Germany
and France. he says, have sufficient
cattle and vegetable supplies to last a
year already in sight. He went
through Belgium three times, and
says he has seen more suffering and
need in New York than there now is in
Belgium.

GERMAN SOAP FROM SUGAR.
Discovery Of New Method Of Manu-
facture Proves Boon in Washing.

SoAko.l3AAAoRSS0
HAMBURG. June 20.-The discovery
10 announced of a method Of manu-
facture Of soap from sugar. Of which
Germany has plenty. instead of from
oil. which Is scarce. In the past 1t
has been possible to use sugar only in
soaps that had little value. BY the
new method, 1t Is claimed, the soap
produced is not only fine and delicate.
but 1t acts as efficiently in salt water
az in fresh-a fact that may mako
the soap valuable for the navy.
Articles that formerly had to be sent
to chemical laundries can now be
washed with the new kind of soap.
The finest kinds Of silks. it is alleged,
not only are not harmed by it. but
their colors are brought out brilliantly
and as new. In addition, the sugar
soap seems to be responsible for q
minimum Of the wear and tear occa-
stoned by old-fashioned cleansing
soaps.

OPPORTUNITY FOR U. S.
IN IRON AND COKE TRADE
American Chamber Of Commerce
Cites Chance to Dominate
Market in Italy.

Opportunity for the United States to
acquire the coke and iron business In
Italy. because Of the war. is cited by
Charles r. Hauss, president of the
American Chamber of Commerce in
Milan. In advices sent to the Chamber
Of Commerce Of the United States. IF
the present feeling can be depended
upon Italy will probably never pur-
chase from Germany again, or IL she
does 1t will be after long time, so
that America never had q better op-
portunity to get and hold the coke and
iron business in Italy.7 states Mr..
Hauss.
Demand for Coke and Pig Iron.
The demand for metallurgical foundry
coke and pig iron appears to be urgent
in the opinion of Mr.. Hauss. He in
forms the national chamber that war
between Italy and Germany has stopped
entirely the arrival Of foundry coke
and low-grade pig iron from Germany.
and the local producers. which are the
Salvey process works at Vado and
Savona, near Genoa, are closed because
they have no coal. Until the war is
from England, from which country
Italy has been importing about 10000
tons of coke per year. The imports
from Germany, Austria and Belgium
amounted to 100000 tons of coke a
year.
There is a big demand for iron in
Italy that compares in analysis with
English hematite. American pig iron
for malleable use, as well as the more
ordinary quality. In the general foun-
dry business, Is wanted also. The
hematite, which sold before the war
at about $21 delivered, was not to
be had at less than $45 to $50.
The lower grade high phosphor iron
sold at from $18 to $19 before the war.
and those who have any in stock could
sell it easily now for $50.
Return Cargoes Probable,
The committee on transportation Of
the Milan chamber is studying the
matter of finding return carsoes for
American steamers and has in Wow,
besides, the colored and Carrara mar
BILE. zinc and lead hematite. and iron
ore from the Island of Sardinia. There
