washington, D. G., July 19.-Action
on Great Britain's black list Of nearly
one hundred firms doing business in
the United States under the terms of
the Grading with the Enemy" act, is
being delayed ty the state depart
ment with the expectation that Am
bassador Page at London will send a
report. At the state department II
was said there were some intimations
that Great Britain's latest action
might be construed as unfriendly.
Hitherto representations in behalf OF
American firms placed on a blacklist
have resulted in the removal of their
names.
New York, July 19.-With very few
exceptions all of the American bust
ness firms and individuals placed by
the British government on the black
list under the Trading With the En-.

New York City. Most Of these mer
chants expressed no surprise today
over the action Of Great Britain. j

SHORTAGE OF RAW MATERIAL
ALARMS PAPER MANuFA
TuRERs OF COUNTRY. 9

In a recent issue of Commerce Re-
ports, the daily publication Of the Blu
reau OF Foreign and Domestic Com
merce of the Department of Commerce
of the Federal government, the follow
ing item which is OF interest to every
person in the country who uses paper
in any way, was printed:
1.-THE attention of the Department of
commerce is called by the president OF
a large paper manufacturing COM
pany, to the fact that there is a seri-
GUS shortage Of raw material for the
manufacture of paper, including rags
and old papers. He urges that the de-
partment should make 1t known that
collecting and saving OF rags and old
papers would greatly better existing
conditions for American manufacture
ers. sr,,-t- - ..p-. II ''}a.--
"something like II, 900 tons OF differ
ent kinds OF paper and paper board
are manufactured every day in the
United states and a large proportion
OF this, after It has served its pur-
pose could be used over again in
some class OF paper. A large part Of
1t, however, is either burned or other
wise wasted. This, Of course, has to
be replaced by new materials. In the
early history Of the paper industry,
publicity was given to the importance
OF saving rags. 1t Is of scarcely less
Importance now. The Department of
Commerce Is glad to bring this matter
to the attention OF the public In the
hope that practical results may flow
from It. A little attention to the saving
Of rags and old papers will mean genu-
inc relief to our paper industry and q
diminishing drain upon our sources Of
supply for new materials. The De-
partment OF Commerce will be glad
to put inquirers in touch with the
manufacturers who are interested"

Kamerun Shows What the
War Is Costing Ger
many.

Correspondence Associated Pressl
CAPEToWN, Union OF South Africa,
Feb. 17.-Oniy one isolated mountain
consisting OF company OF native and
four German officers, remain Of the
German army In Kamerun. This out
post is at Mora, on an almost inacces-
sible height which forms one Of the
most northerly spurs OF the Mandara
range in the far north OF the country.
From It's high fortressed position, this
German garrison looks down on the
plains, several thousand feet below.
stretching northward by British and
French forces and cut of from the out
er world.
Today they represent all that Is left
OF German power in Kamerun. The
remainder Of the German forces OF a
colony which has an area larger than
that OF Germany, Denmark, Holland
and Belgium taken together and apop'
ulation of over 100000 have been
killed. captured by the Allied forces
or driven into Spanish territory,
whence they are being collected by
the Spanish government for intnrment
either in Spain or In the Spanish
island of Fernando Pc.
The great colony thus wrested from
tho Germans represents thirty years
OF steady work and expenditure. It
Is estimated that in the Victoria and
Buca districts alone more than So
900 900, has been spent on the develop
ment OF cocoa, rubber and other tropi.
cal products. The vast forests Of the
south abound in wild rubber, which
was exported to Germany mainly Kri'
hi. The total external trade OF the col.
ony in 1919 amounted to $15,O00,000
of which ninety per cent. went to Ger
many. -
