WAR IMPROVES QUALITY
OF AMERICAN GOODS
BY Pae. and IntI News Service.

~ TaS. anu intl views SeTNICc.
NEW YORK, April 8.-The war is
having one curious effect on Ameri-
can manufacturers. They are turning
out better goods. according to buyers
for the big stores here.
Not that the American manufacture.
ers didn't. make good things before.
But the rise in prices, the scarcity of
materials and labor and the great de-
mand for almost everything, is caus-
ing the makers to give up the cheap
grades.
Suppose a mill is accustomed to
make five grades of certain material
With every element entering into the
cost of production rising, the manu-
facturer finds he cannot turn out all
the cloth of every grade for which he
has orders. He finds he can make
more money by eliminating the cheap
est grade and perhaps the two cheap
grades entirely. He puts the machines
and hands which were making the
cheap cloth to work on the better
grades. And the retailer and ultimate
ly the consumer must buy and wear
better clothing.

ened. For the moment the market is
strong and the feeling sanguine with
respect to the future. Buying orders
appear TO be principally for account of
English and continental minis, and the
extent of this inquiry may be more
fully appreciated when it is explained
that both China and India have been
but moderate takers.
THE requirements of all belliger-
ent nations for subsidiary coinage are
extensive and will certainly further en-
pand with the continuance of the war.
The British mint is reported to be en-
ployed so fully with its own needs that
it has been compelled to ship to the
Australian government the dies for
executing silver coins. 1t is under
stood that this new source of purchase
will absorb about four million ounces.
The 1915 production estimated by the
United States mint, although some
what below the total of previous years,
1t is still surprisingly large, in view of
interference with mining operations in
Mexico.

Commons That Government
viii Be Compelled to Limit
the Consumption Of Staples

London. Nov. tb.---Warning that
the situation In England had reached
the point where the government may
be compelled to take artificial means
To ll'qlt the consumption Of food"
was sounded In the house OF COM
mons today by walter Runciman. pre-
sident Of the board OF trade.
A one OF tho first steps toward
meeting the presen. situation. Runci-
man announced the government will
limit tho milk consumption.
Runciman said he favored the ap-
polntment Of 4 food controller for
England with greater powers than
any similar oificial, The controller
will be named BY Premier Asquith
later.
"ConBcriptlon has gone too far"
said Runciman In the course OF de-
bate on the food question. Men
must be brought back for farming
and shipbuilding or the government
may be compelled TO take artificial
means TO limit food consumption"
Runciman announced that the gov
ernment would assume the power to
institute food tickets at any time II
chooses. He said orders were to be
issued this week covering the points
ne should mention In his speech,
which. he added. were only the first
steps. Tho premier. he explained.
will announce the name OF food con-
trolier later. meanwhile the board OF
trade will exercise the new powers
OF control over food prices. handing
these powers over to the new govern
ment otiicial on q days notice,
Runciman announced that -four OF
more than seventy per cent pure
grain has been prohibited. The pure
white product. he said. was no longer
to be milied. The same restrictions
as 10 manufactured product applies to
imported hour.
Runclman declared the luxurious
use Of sugar by the people Of Ens-
land must be stopped, Measures are
also imminent to prevent nndue
profits from being realised on the sale
Of potatoes, he said. Runciman rec
commended that negroes be used In
unloading British ships at French
ports, instead OF soldiers.
He said that under tho new re-
strictive plan the government as
sumed the power to regulate mar
kets Of wheat and other commodities,
Runciman said royal societies were
considering what foods were easiest
eliminated from dietaries. II was
especially necessary that the sup
ply OF potatoes be conserved for
human food and that none be used
{, In feeding animals.

BELGIUM MAY
LOSE U, S. RELIEF

Washington, Nov. 15.--Fear vaa
expressed in Washington today that
the relief OF destitute Belgium by
America may be seriously interfered
with. perhaps actually brought to an
end.
The fear grew out of the admis-
sion that deporting Of Belgians into
Germany had reached such a scale
that the state department has taken
the matter up with the German gov
eminent.
The German policy, II is under
stood. has been to declare destitute
any abie-bodied Belgians who accept
relief supplies end put them to work
to relieve the strain on public char
ity. This course. officials here be-
lieve today. may result in England
and France asking that the United
States relief work stop, since 1t ap-
parently plays into the hands OF the
German government.
Charge Grew at Berlin has been
directed to take the matter up per
sonally with Chancellor Won Beth.
mann-Hollweg, telling the latter that
deportations' of the Belgians were
certain to affect neutral opinion,
Grew had reported to the state de-
partment the effect of his discussion
on the subject with Under-Secretary
for Foreign Affairs Zimmerman. The
latter is said to have told Grew that
SO many Belgians had refused to
work that policy OF compelling the
able bodied to work had been neces-
sary.
The instructions to Grew were not
in the form Of a protest, 1t was ex-
planned today, but memorandum
expressing the opinion of this gov
ernment, based on two main argu-
ments;
