WARTIME MOURNING.
Plea That Il Be Dropped to Ease De-
preston and Cost of Fabric.

Flea U NAT u 6e dropped TO Ease De-
preston and Cost of Fabric.
The developments In France must
bring home TO every citizen Of this
country the approach Of the days when
Americans will scan the casualty lists
with a sinking of the heart.
The present, therefore, is a fitting
time for Americans to consider what
action they will take when the news,
terribly sad yet not unrelieved by
pride, shall come to them of the fact
that one who Is near and dear has Of
fered on the altar Of his country the
supreme sacrifice.
In ordinary times 1t is our right and
custom to make known our bereave-
ment to the world by a change OF cos
tune. Heretofore we have put on the
gay habiliments of ordinary wear and
have put on those signs of mourning
that, as we have believed, show respect
for the loved ones we have lost. But
while we are at war. why, it may well
be asked. should we take any action
that will tend to depress our neigh
bors. deter others from making the sac
rif1ce we have made, discourage new
additions to the depleted ranks Of
democracy's defenders and give aid
and comfort to its Notwithstanding
our own misguided citizens who are
secret allies OF the government with
which we are at war?
We cannot win the war by wearing
Grape. Instead Of spreading depres-
sion, creating discouragement, It Is our
duty to maintain high heart, to vital
lie the fighting spirit, to do all that
lies in our power to keep our country
In trim for the further efforts and
trials that it must face before final vic
tory.
Holding these views, yet with sin
cerest sympathy for those who may
be bereaTed, we recommend the start
ing Of a movement throughout this
country for the discarding Of mourning
throughout the period OF our participa-
tion In the war.
The present shortage Of fabrics Is
equaled only by the shortage Of raw
materials entering into the manufac-
ture Of textiles This shortage viii
Increase as the war continues. The
adoption Of mourning by q large num-
Der Of our people would entail the dis
carding Of great quantities Of clothing
which otherwise might have been worn
Tor q considerable period. True, some
Of these castoffs might be given to the
poor or to charitable organizations
But the probability Il that the greater
Of them would be put away
tn some closet to become moth eaten
and forgotten. The result Of the new
purchases would be to increase the al
ready serious shortage OF material and
to further raise the prices Of clothing,
which, as II Is, promise to soar still
higher In the near future. We by no
means urge the indiscriminate wearing
Of bright or snowy colorz Neutral or
Ehoft shades would naturally be more
appropriate. Some suitable device also
might be worn upon the sleeve. But
for ''the customary suits Of solemn
black" there should be no place under
war eonditions.-Dry Goods Economist

WaehIngton.-- series OF tele-
grams which passed between the Ger
man government and its embassy in
this country was made public Wednes-
day by Secretary Lansing. They arc
remarkable for the degree of cunning
and ingenuity displayed in the evident
purpose to do all possible injury to
Germany's European enemies through
cutting off their resources in America,
while at the same time avoiding as
far as possible incurring the wrath OF
the American people by actual de-
struction of life In this country and
In Canada.
The three kilograms comprising this
series form the natural complement
closed by the State Department con-
veying absolutely convincing evidence
OF well-calculated and systematic
violation OF American neutrality by
Germany during a period of more than
year preceding the beginning of
ruthless submarine warfare and the
breach OF relations between Germany
ana the United States.
Secretary Lansing said the tele-
grams had not been sent through the
State Department, thus leaving the in
ference that they must have moved
through one of the neutral legations.
The statement follows:
''The secretary of state publishes
the following two kilograms from the
German foreign office to Count Won
Bernstorff in January, 1916:
