SIX WEEKS SUPPLY ON HAND
Dyestuffs Stock About Exhausted-A
Gloomy View of the Textile
Industry.

Washington.-A gloomy view of the
immediate future of the American tex
tile industry was presented at the
White House and the state department
by a committee representing 400 mills,
headed by former Representative
Metz of New York.
Unless some relaxation Of the Brit
ish blockade is obtained and German
dyestuffs reach them within six weeks
time, Mr.. Metz declared, 270 mills will
be forced to close and 100000 opera
tives be thrown cut of work
Government officials held out no
great hope to the textile men. The
situation is complicated in the extreme
and apparently there is little prospect
of framing an agreement satisfactory
to both Great Britain and Germany.
Under previous agreement with
Germany ships carrying American cot
ton to German ports were permitted to
bring back dyestuffs. The new Brit
ish order, however, has struck at this
traffic in both directions, and officials
were at a loss for a new plan under
which the German chemicals could be
obtained.
The textile representatives called at
the German embassy after their con-
ferences with government officials and
the ambassador, Count Won Bernstorff,
suggested that there would be no FUR
ther trouble about dyestuffs shipments
If they could get the United States to
threaten an embargo on exports OF war
supplies to Great Britain unless inter-
ference with trade between America
and Germany in foodstuffs, cotton and
other non-contraband goods ceased.
The ambassador reiterated the re-
cent declaration of the Berlin foreign
office of Germany's willingness to dis
continue the sinking without notice BY
submarines of British merchantmen Il
Great Britain would stop molestlng
non-contraband cargoes consigned 70
German civilians.

RUSSIA CONTINUES TO GAIN
The Austro-Germans Have Been
Squeezed From Passes of
Mountains.

London.-Russian successes in the
Carpathiaas, where the Muscovites
are now said to control virtually all
the important passes and are prepar-
ing for descent onto the plains OF
Hungary, have revived unofficial talk
of separate peace for Austria-Hungary
and seemingly increasing anxiety on
the part of interventionists in Italy for
their country to take up arms on the
side of the allies and obtain territory
which they have failed to get in nego-
tiations through Germany with Aus
tria
Russian newspapers seem convinced
that Hungary, If not the whole Of the
dual monarchy, is ready to seek peace,
and 1t is said that Emperor Francis
Joseph has requested Pope Benedict
to intervene in their behalf
Except in Italy, the neutral country
most directly interested in this Ques-
tion, little credence is given this re-
port, although the opinion is expressed
in military circles here that if Rus
sia breaks down the joint resistance
Of the Austro-German troops in the
that Of the Austro-Hungarian armies.
Hungary at least will be ready to bring
the war to an end as far as she is con-
cerned.
However, the Russians have some
way to go yet before they reach the
plains of Hungary, and the Austro-
German forces are placing every OBJ
stacIe in their way. The whole south
ern slopes of the mountains have been
strongly fortified, and troops are be-
ing poured into the region. 1t is said
there are now "a Austrian and six
German army corps facing the Rus
SLAMS, and that more are on the way.
The Russians are bringing up reserves
and according to the Austrian report
they are attacking without any regard
for the loss of life.
British military critics express the
greatest admiration for the Russians
handling of the Carpathian campaign.
The advance between Polianka and
Bartfeld, they say, squeezed the Aus
trians out of the Dukla Pass, that
from Dukla squeezed them out of Mez-
olaborez, and from west to east this
process has continued until all the
passes are in the hands of Russian
troops. The critics contend that the
Austro-G Germans must return from
East Galicia and Bukowina or they
will find themselves cut off.

decided to give reduced rates.

THE SEA RAIDER INTERNEs
Prinz EiteI, German Auxiliary Cruiser,
Requests To BE Interned For
the War.

Newport News, Va. - Commander
Max Thierichens Of the German auxil-
larry cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich has
asked the United States government,
through port authorities here, to intern
his ship and crew for the war.
Up to the last moment the German
skipper kept up the appearance of be-
ing ready for a dash to sea, and when
the time for decision finally came he
explained that failure of expected re-
lief to arrive had made it necessary
to intern, rather than deliver" crew
and ship to fruitless and certain de-
struction by British and French war
ships waiting off the Virginia capes."
April the commerce raider made
her last cruise of the war. She was
taken to the Norfolk navy yard, across
Hampton Roads, from the shipyard
here, where she has been laid up since
limping into port on March 10, after
the remarkable commerce destroying
voyage from the Orient, during which
she sent the American ship William
P. Frye to the bottom.
Commander Trierichens notified the
Washington government through Col
lector Of Customs Hamilton of his de-
cision to intern rather than deliver
crew and ship to- fruitless and certain
destruction by British and French
warships.
The German captain delivered his
announcement in writing when Col
lector Hamilton boarded the Eiter
Friedrich with an imperative notice
from the Washington government that
the time for his stay in this port had
expired and that he must leave Amer
ican waters by o'clock on the morn
ing of April s. Before the customs col
lector could deliver the message, Com
mander Thierichens handed to him the
written announcement of his decision.
Determination of the German COM
mander to intern Immediately operated
to life the American embargo against
merchant ships of allied European ma
tions leaving this port. More than a
score of British merchant vessels,
which had been cleared, but held up,
were Immediately permitted to leave
port, and custom houses at Newport
News and Norfolk were kept open un-
til late at night issuing clearances.

SUFFICIENT SECURITY
DESIRED BY HULSE

Another chapter in the $4,000
damage suit instituted by Max Her
man of MoGifl against Earl w. Hulse,
a broker with Offices in Salt Lake and
Ely. was enacted in the clerks office
Yesterday morning, when a motion
requiring plaintiff to furnish addi-
tional and adequate security was filed
Hulse contends that the undertake
ing on attachment is insufficient. He
alleges in the motion that Sam Bern
stein, one of the sureties, is not
worth the sum for which he has quail
fled. 1t is claimed by defendant
that the merchant from the smelter
town is not worth in excess of $500
above his just debts and liabilities.
The right of John Engelke, who
Gill to qualify as one of Herman's
bondsmen, is also questioned by
TIulse. He claims that Engelke can
not appear in that capacity for nor
than $500. Engelke and Bernstein
went on Herman's bond for $4,000
each.
Hulse was made defendant in an
action started by the plaintiff for the
recovery of damages ag%gregating
SIS 600 for a broken rib and other
personal injuries that he received in
a fistic encounter last March near
the Nevada Northern depot. The
mental anguish and physical dam
ages that Herman suffered in the
clash are not segregated in the claim
made.
The iii feeling between the two
litigants arose over the circulation
of reports that Hulse regarded as
being detrimental to his character.
The local broker wendell his way
into the white hope class, when he
went after Herman with the fury
of a woman scorned." Hulse decid-
ed to resort to physical force upon be-
ing informed that Herman was the
of the alleged malicious state
