ARTIFICIAL SILK IS
IN A PARLOUS WAY
A Serious Matter for the French
Dress Goods Industry.

Trade papers from Europe, just at
hand, discuss the situation in the ar
tifcial silk industry in a very pessi-
mistic manner, and 1t is said that this
branch Of the textile trade will be the
slowest to recuperate after the war.
Germany, which ordinarily produces
$500 tons, and exported material to
the value Of 100000 marks in 1914,
Is reduced to about one-half. The sit
uation in France Is worse, because tho
largest number Of the factories are
either In the territory occupied by the
Germans or used for other purposes
at present. This involves serious
losses for the French dress goods In
dustry, as real silk must be used now
for many purposes for which hereto
fore tho imitation product could be
employed. The important Belgian ar
tihcial silk industry is producing very
littlo since the outbreak Of tho war,
and while England three or four years
ago began TO establish this industry,
erecting factories and hiring foreign
experts, all the plants have been trans
formed into ammunition plants.
