GERMAN DYEsTUFrs COMING.
Two shipments for u. =. Permitted
ny Britain.

WATERMELON. April 1.-THE release
Of two additional cargoes OF German
dyestuffs for consumption IN the United
states was announced here to-day.
The British Government has an
nounced it's willingness TO let the two
cargoes In question pass without inter-
ference and this assurance Is rega rded
as removing the only obstacle to the de-
livery OF the materials In he United
States. The British modification OF
their policy OF OBTAINING all goods Of
German origin IL made on the ground
that the cargoes were contracted for
before March I.
The two cargoes were 10 be paid for
by cotton. which was carried to Ger
many on the steamships Guantanamo
and City of Savannah These vessels
sailed with the cotton before March |.
and the British Government has sc-
cepted the contention OF the Americans
interested Ia the contracts that this fact
should entitle them to receive the car
goes Of dyestuffs In return.
The conditions that the British I'M
pose on these deliveries are that the
cargoes must be carried in neutral
ships: that the shipments be made from
Rotterdam instead OF from German
port. and that the dyestuffs b. consigned
TO Secretary of Commerce Redfeld for
distribution to American manufacturers
through william Mitchell of the I. xtlle
Alliance.

cording to a recent investigation. had
no funds in the bank and possessed but
little equity above the heavy mortgages
on the tifty-seven parcels of real estate
1t owned In Manhattan and Brooklyn.
The association of the clergymen with
the concern. the Federal authorities say,
went a long way toward recommending
the securities TO persons In moderate
circumstances.
