To Be Fulfilled.

Agreements Must Be Terminal
ed and Goods Shipped Be-
fore November /.
From The Tribune Bureau J

Washington, Sept. 25.-Further "con-
cessions" by Great Britain to American
importing interests are contained in
cable message received at the State
Department to-day from Ambassador
Page. As result of the persistent ef-
forts of the Foreign Trade Advisers Of
the department, the British government.
after consultation with France. has
agreed to permit the expectation OF
goods from Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary when it can be shown that the
contracts with manufacturers would
subject importers to payment.
In numerous instances importers
have running contracts" with German
and Austrian firms which continue from
year to year without being specifically
renewed. It is to this class of con-
tracts that Ambassador Pages message
refers.
II is stipulated by Great Britain,
however, that the contracts must De
terminated, and that applications Tor
the release of cargoes from European
ports must be made before November /;
The goods, therefore, must be shipped
prior 70 that date il they are TO Dene-
fit by the new arrangement.
Cargoes now held in neutral ports as
q result of the Orders in Council are
estimated at over S400,0O0,OO Great
Britain and France have agreed TO per-
nit their expectation on special per-
mits by application through Foreign
Trade Advisers. when proofs show tnat
the contracts for them existed before
March /. The extension OF this rule TO
goods not yet shipped from Germany
and Austria. 1t is estimated will
mean the release Of several hundred
million dollars worth of goods in addl-
ton.
Ever since the FORMULATION of the
Orders in Council last March the For
eign Trade Advisers have been attempt
ing to obtain from Great Britain
definition OF policy toward this class
of goods. The British order permitted
only articles actually paid for to Dc
shipped, and then only if received IN
neutral ports before March is. This
Foreign Trade Advisers pointed out
that in many cases the goods had not
been paid for, but, under the contracts,
had passed 70 American ownership, and
the firms were thus liable for payment.
Recently it was brought to the at
tention of the State Department that
whereas the Foreign Trade Advisers
were powerless to obtain the release
of cargoes detained at Rotterdam and
other neutral ports, private attorneys
in London were openly advertising that
they were able to obtain permits. This
discovery prompted stiff protest
with the result that Great Britain has

Amsterdam, Sept. 25.-The, German
military authorities at Lille. French
Flanders, have FLASHED again with the
populace. this time over the refusal Of
factories 10 make sacks for use as sand
bags for German defence works.
Unable to obtain the sacks, the Ger
man authorities notified the Mayor that
an amount equivalent 20 the output OF
the Lille factories would be msnufact-
ured in Germany and the cost Of pro-
auction assessed against the city. This
was carried out, notwithstanding a Wig
orous protest. The strongroom Of the
town was forced and $4,000 francs

unds.
In addition to this 81 100000 francs
of war taxes was demanded. Pending
the payment of this sum the Germans
rlaced seals on the banks as well as
on the strongrooms of individuals as
a guarantee that securities would not
be removed.
The Lille authorities insisted that
this sum could not be met, whereupon
the Germans suggested a compromise

Mr.. Whitney came in his automobile
from his home in Flatbush. arriving at
Thirty-eiyhth Street shortly after 7:45
o'clock In discussing the cause of the
accident with reporters he said that he
had been informed that heavy sight
seeing bus had rumbled around the
corner of Thirty-eighth Street to cross
TO the west side OF Broadway just be-
fore the street fell in.
"The jar of that vehicle may have
started the rock Slide" Mr.. Whitney
said. "a few uprights were knocked
down. and. of course, the timbers they
supported fell. hut the length of the
collapse conceded exactly with the
length Of the slide. On either side Of
the accident zone the structure held,
and that is what should have happened
on Seventh Avenue. | think the fact
that the trolley car backed off the
sagging structure had much to do with
keeping the accident in such narrow
Confines.
"The trolley car that figured in the
Seventh Avenue accident was in the
wrong place-it never should have been
so close to the point where the blast
was exploded. Most persons do not
know that the pull of double tracks set
in concrete with under supports is
equivalent to a ton a foot.
This accident is a vindication of the
type Of snoring that the commission
has approved in subway construction
throughout the city. Rock slides are
liable TO happen. In this Instance the
snoring stood the test"

other representative of the commission

in its proper place." Colonel Hayward
said. This afternoon | crawled through
the Seventh Avenue excavation from
Twenty third Street to Sixteenth Street
with State Architect Pilcer. We found
everything efficient for protection. Mr..
Pilcer remarked that it was a pleasure
to inspect job where there had been
no petty grating, no attempt at unwise
economy in the use of snoring timber.
He cannot understand any more than
the commission can how that other ac-
cident happened"
Robert Ridgeway, Chief Engineer of
the Public Service Commission, agreed
with others that rock slide was re-
sponsibe. That the snoring timbers
were sound was verified. he said, by the
fact that those supporting the car
tracks remained in position throughout
the accident.
Hayward Issues Statement.
Commissioner Hayward gave out the
following statement soon after mid
night:
THE engineers of the commission
made q careful and thorough re-exam-
ination of the timbering in all subway
work, and, of course, every contractor
made his own denomination.
"The accident tonight was a rock
slide at the northwest corner of Thirty
eighth Street and Broadway, which
knocked out several uprigLts immedi-
ately in front of it,
1T should be a reinsurance that IN
this case the main timbering held.
The street structurally and in general
design has had the approval of all local
and outside engineers who examined it.
The timbers used on Broadway are
sound and seem of more than ample
dimensions, and, moreover. held except
for those Immediately hit by the rock
slide. The commission has made every
effort TO make il safe. but there are
multiplicity Of sub-surface POSSIBLE
Ties.
"Open cut construction might be
safer, but in the opinion of the best
experts is practically prohibitive. Its
use would paralyze the traffic and bust
ness of the city. For fifteen years sub
way work amounting to more than
S100,000,000 has been done and the ac-
cdents have been relatively few.
Two Accidents a Coincidence.
81 think it is merely coincidental that
these two accidents have happened al
most together and on the work of one
contractor. While the Commission is
watching it's work at all times, it will,
as an added assurance TO the public.
cause an immediate denomination
