LACK OF DYES IN AMERICA MAY

PIECES DELICATE

We are off and away from silly mas
culine headgear. We are about to
become sane and sensible. Our hats,
gentlemen, are to be white, or at least
pale, as to hue, but American withal.
The American Association of Hat
ters, which has just adjourned after
a convention in Chicago, found that
there is scarcity Of aniline dyes in
the United States heretofore import
ed from Germany, but there is an in
crease in the manufacture of aniline
dyes in the United States. American
hatters, it is said, are reaping a har-
vest by reason of the innovation.
The word has been passed along
the line, and Hattiesturg hatters have
been told that because Of the scarcity
of dyes, there must be a lighter hue
of hat this year. Il is possible that
light hats will be fashionable for
years to come.
"The shapes, said c. J. McInnis,
of McInnis & Small, will be fully
American and no freaks" Deas &
Duke and S. &. II. Katz report the
same thing.
This parting shot probably is in
tended to hit the angelic alpine and
the toreador freaks that have met
with such favor in the last few years.

conclusion was announced as to
whether Germany's position is ac-

that merchantmen armed for de-

Washington, D. c., Feb. 29.-In the
note presented to Secretary Lansing
yesterday by Count J. H. Won Bern
storff, Germany assured the United
States that it has no intention Of
revoking the pledges given in the
Lusitania case.
The note says Germany can con
ceive of no reason for changing or
postponing the new instructions to
her submarine commanders to treat
armed "defensiveiy" and that special
precautions have been taken to pre-
vent ships that are not armed from
being attacked.
The note at the outset reiterates
the previous pledges which were Civ
en- on September / and October 5
last year for the safety of unresist-
ing liners and then goes on to say
the German government does not be-
lieve those assurances have been
modified by the new memorandum.
During the negotiations over the
Lusitania, it says, no mention was
made OF armed merchantmen and
that the United States in one of it's
notes on the Lusitania mentioned
"unarmed merchantmen" Attention is
then called; to the assurances prev
iously given in which it is stated that
liners will not be sunk without warn
ing provided they do not offer re-
sistance. Attention also is called to
the statement of the American gov
ernment in its notice to port authori-
ties that the presence of armament
on board a merchant vessel creates
the presumption that the vessel is
armed for offensive.
The British embassy today an
nounced it had been authorized to de-
ny that Great Britain warned her
subjects off ships of the belligerents
in the Russo-Japanese war.
