TEXTILES ARE SCARCE
IN GERMANY NOW
white Sales" Prohibited In
Berlin To Conserve Sup
ply Of Cotton
By j. T. w. Mason.

(Wrtten for the United Press)
New York, Jan. THAT Germany
is beginning to feel the pincn Of short
age Of textiles is evidenced in the re.
port that the authorities have prohib
tied "white sales" in Berlin. Appar,
emily the intention Of this move is to
limit consumption of cotton, linen and
woolen goods, and to discourage pur
cnases beyond the peoples needs.
However, no substitute for these ar
ticles Of clothing has been devised
though German bcientists have sue
ceeded in producing many laboratory
substitutes for goods blocked by the
allies. For instance, they have been
enabled to put together the constituent
elements Of rubber and to make what
is known as synthetic rubber, but thus
far they have not been able to make
synthetic clothing.
Economists have predicted for some
months that Germany Is approaching a
crisis in the matter Of textiles. While
IL is improbable that the crisis has
actually appeared, there can be do
doubt as TO the symptoms Of such a sit.
uation. This will not only prove dis
comforting but the closing Of textile
mills for want Of wool, cotton and
flax, will throw hundreds Of thousands
out Of employment.
This illustrates the silent but per-
haps decisive work that the British
fleet has done in bottllng up Germany
and preventing her from getting need.

Information Lacking i.

Washington, Jan. THE govern
ment's policy in the sinking of the
liner Persia with its vast toll Of human
life, including Consul McNeely, Amer
ican, was considered today by both the
presidents IS cabinet and congress.
The cabinet meeting was the first in
month. To it, the president and sec
retary of state, Lansing, presented the
scant evidenceat hand regarding the in
cident. AT the same time, both the
senate and house foreign committees
took up the case informally and mapped
out program for cooperation with the
White House and state department
This called for putting quietus on in
cendiary speeches in both houses.
Administration leaders admitted that
their hands are tied as far as any action
in the case is concerned, until they have
received further evidence. The Vienna
foreign office has replied to Ambassad
or Penfield's request for information
by saying il has had no report con
cerning the Persia, the state department
announced today This may be due tc
the fact that the submarine command
er has not had time to report, or it may
indicate that an Austrian submarine
was not responsible.
Authorities regard it as unthinkablt
that Austria will deny responsibility
for the torpedoing and withhold in
formation if one of her undersea boats
sent the liner to the bottom. In event
it was an Austrian vessel, it is expected
that Austria will disavow the incident
unless the Persia fled or was subject tC
an unwarned attack by reason of being
armed. The latter defense might bring
the question of arming merchantmen
to head. Meanwhile the government Z
has altered its attitude toward such
arming, but is waiting full information
as to how effective the AT inchei
aboard the Persia really was.
The cabinet and the foreign commit
tees considered policies, it was pointed
out in this connection for an under

was the possibility Of putting forth {
declaration that if an American citizei

GERMANY PLEDGES
FULL Information
All Facts Concerning Sub
marine Operations viii Be
Fully Communicated

Washington, Jan. 7. Germany
pledged herself today to communicate
to America any facts in regard to the
sinking of the liner Persia elf the cir,
cumstances warrant" to punish any
commander who violates orders for con
duct of submarine warfare in the Medi
terranean and to make reparation fol
American deaths or injuries.
In effect, the statement revealing
Germany's instructions to her Mediter-
ranean commanders was an advance dis.
avowal of the torpedoing and a promise
to punish any offenders. In this light
it aroused speculation as to whether
Germany anticipates information that
one of her undersea boats was the Of
fender.
The statement submitted to Secre-
tary of State Lansing by Ambassador
Won Bernstorff said commanders had
been ordered to conduct the warfare
in the Mediterranean with respect to in.
ternational law, and to provide safety
for those aboard in case the torpedoed
ship did not resist attack or attempt
to flee. AS for measures Of special re-
prisal, existent about the British isles,
the Mediterranean commanders were
excluded.
The statement declared:
"German submarines in the Mediter-
ranean, had, from the beginning of the
war, orders to conduct their warfare
against enemy merchantmen only in ac.
cordance with the general principles of
international law. In particular meas.
ures of reprisal, as applied around the
British isles, they were excluded.
"German submarines, therefore, have
been permitted to destroy enemy mer-
chantmen in the Mediterranean-that
is, passenger vessels as we'll as freight.
ers insofar as they do not try to escape
or resist-only after passengers and
crews have been accorded safety,

case if the circumstances warrant.
off the commanders of German sub
marines did not obey orders, they viii

make reparaton for damages caused by
death or injuries to Americans.
If the statement was intended to dis
pose of the Lusitaia controversy, au
thorities held that it does not go very
far unless it is mereTy a preliminary
step, for in this case the administration
insists on a specific disavowal, not one
by inference.
The fact that the ambassador ex
