Paper Dresses

Paper clothes for women are among the
novelties suggested for the spring trade;
not, we hasten TO add, those charmingly
fragile creations Of crepe paper, pump
kin-strewn, or dripping with six-inch
roses, in which tiny persons dance at
school festivals, and whose whole econom-
ic function is notably performed if they
hold together during one afternoon.
Rather, this suggestion of the clothing
manufacturers concerns a fabric Of APP
pslling durability, Of highly German eff
cheney. They argue that paper makes
car wheels, so why is it unreasonable TO
believe that it is capable of material even
for subway travel and basketball games
Moreover, it has been done. A German
firm before the war actually turned out
an experimental fabric Of paper, had it
made up fetchingly and sent it over 10 a
New York firm. Il failed 70 impress only

Fighting EngIand's German King in l776

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your pro-German correspondent W.
r. Osborn. made a most unfortunate choice
of parallel when he selected the American
Revolution.
The English colonists in this country
fought to free themselves from the oppres-
sion Of a German King then on the English
throne. and the soldiers sent to this country
were mostly Germans loaned or hired TO him,
This German King and his German court OPP
pressed the English people and taxed them
TO the point of starvation to pay for the
drunken Hcentious orgies which at that
time disgraced the English court. Having
bled the English in England. he turned his
attention 20 the American Colonies. with the
result the whole world knows.
The English licked the Germans then. and
they viii do so now in this present war The
Allies are lighting for the same principles
that the English colonists in this country
fought for, and against the same race. Bulliei
then. and bullies now.
Isn't 10 about time that the American pub
lie was enlightened a. 20 the Revolution

Unlimited Submarine Warfare"

The popular demand for utter ruthless
ness in the conduct of the war at sea is
said TO be frowned upon by Germany
statesmen, and, according TO a dispatch
from Berlin, DR.. Won Heydebrand himself
advocates extreme measures only on GER
tain conditions. Of" he says, "our mill
tary authorities, the higher command, and
the Emperor find it suitable and timely to
make the necessary use Of unlimited sub
marine warfare the German and Prus-
sian people will be prepared to bear the
consequences"
There has been n great deal of talk
about modified form" of submarine
blockade which is supposed to have been
designed in order TO do as much damage
as possible TO Great Britain without
seriously endangering Gcrmany's friendly
relations with the United States. All
such specuatons are idle, for the simple
reason that everything that could be done
in this way with the material at Ger
many's command has been done already
As lar dS IOSSlUit tIc OtI mans nave
endeavored to enforce the war-zone decree
of February 1915, the only notifications
being those suggested by prudential con
siderations. Excepting this country. neu-
trial nations have indeed been treated with
even less consideration in the last few
months than in the early days Of the So
called blockade
There can be no partial concession to
the radical element in Germany, since it is
evident that ruthlessness has been carried
as far as it possibly could be without
a violation of the pledges which the radi-
cal element disapproved from the first.
1t is true that if the Germans are able
TO turn out a sufficient number of sub
marines the destruction of merchant ship
ping might be prosecuted on much
more extensive scale than hitherto, but
the report that a new decree is about to
be issued is unlikely, if only because there
is nothing new in the decree as forecast.
When DR.. Won Heydebrand speaks Of
UNLIMITED submarine warfare" he there
fore means warfare without regard to the
protests Of the most powerful Of neutral
nations

BUTTER FAT IN MILK
Tests of Product of Two Companies Show
Ii Above Standard

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: | desire TO make statement regard
ing the alleged condition Of the milk fur
nished to New York City by five large milk
companies recently mentioned by Commits
s.oncr Dillon as supplying milk below the
legal standard in butter fat ! am confident
that Commissioner Dillon has been misled in
his conclusions on this point. / happen to be
In a position where | have personal knowl-
edge Of the character OF the milk furnished
by two of the five milk companies he men
tons These companies are accustomed to
send to me duplicate samples OF all milk test
ed by the city Department Of Health. Their
object is to secure private information
whether these samples are above or below
standard. and 20 have laboratory tests made
which furnish a check on the tests made by
the Department Of Health
am not in any way becoming party 10
the long drawn out controversy between the
dealers and the producers. I have been, and
still am, so closely identified with improving
conditions among milk producers that ! fully
recognize the necessity for taking steps to
relieve the economic pressure under which
the producers Of milk have suffered for a
number Of years.
At the same time. IN the interest Of fair
ness. it seems TO mo entirely proper that the
truth should be stated regarding the integ-
rity OF the milk which is handled by the large
milk dealers of this city
During the year 1916 1 tested IA samples
OF milk for one of the large milk compa-
MES mentioned I'm Commissioner billions
list These samples were evenly distributed
throughout the twelve months. During the
present month have tested seventeen sam
Piles Of milk for this same company. making
total Of 73l samples. Out Of this entire
number ! have found only five which contain
less than per cent butter fat Since No
yember all samples have been far above 3
per cent butter fat. Six hundred and forty
four OF the samples contained more than 3.5
per cent butter fat Consequently ! feel
justified in stating that this large company is
not cheating the public in any way by fur
nishing milk below the legal standard in but
ter fat
In the case Of second milk company in
the list. during 1916 tested total of 10
samples of milk, and eight more during the
present month Out Of this series ] have
found only two samples TO contain less than
per cent butter fat. Niuety-one Of the
samples contained more than 80 per cent
butter far
As all Of the above samples from both COM
pauies were duplicates Of those which were
tested by the New York City Department Of
Health. ! feel that I am warranted in in
iorsing the statement made By the Depart
ment Of Health that the majority Of samples
% milk taken in this city are well above the
legal standard tor butter fat, and that sam
plies below such standard are rare exceptions.
