DYE MAKERS PLAN

ISOLATION TO Face Ger
many After War
AMERICANS ONLY
ARE ADMITTED

NEW YORK, Jan. ga meeting Of
dyestuffs manufacturers and dealers
was held in the Chemists Club for the
purpose of forming an organization by
which the dye manufacturers Of this
country can protect themselves against
German competition after the war raise
the industry to a high level Of EN-
cheney by Standardization and make pro-
visions for protecting customers against
INSCRIPTIONS dyemen who sell dyes
that do not come up to their samples.
Incidentally they put themselves
flatly on record as refusing member
ship in their new association to any
dye company that is not headed by an
American and owned or backed by
American capital. The issue was partly
one Of patriotism and partly to shut out
what many Of those present look upon
as an insldious attempt on the part OF
Germany to disrupt the growing indus
try here, so that Germany will find it
easy TO recapture lost ground after
the war.
That not all the dyemakers, mainly
some Of the large manufacturers, are
Joining in the movement for Standard
zatiOn and registration Of dyes was
evident at once. These larger manufac-
tuiers who nave now a lrm grip on the
developing industry want to impose
their own standards and the smaller
makers feel that IL is best for all dye
interests, both large and small, to get
together for mutual protection. This
opposition was mentioned by H. Card
ner McKerrow, Of Z. F. Drew & Co q,
Inc, who did much to bring about the
convention, when he spoke at the OPEN
ing of the meeting
Mr. MckerrOw blamed German propa-
'ganda for the persistent warning of
customers in stores that dyes could not
be guaranteed because American dye
stuffs. the kind now being used, are
not as good as German dyes. no longer
obtainable. He pointed out dyemaking
IS an exact science and that there is no
mysterious alchemy at work in the
manufacture Of Ge. man dyes.
A board Of arbitration to settle diff
ferences between manufacturers and
their customers was also recommended
at the convention. It was shown that
methods used by some inscriptions
men in imposing on their customers
are such that they cannot be settled
satisfactorily in court, and only expert
chemists are competent to determine
the right of the issue. BY the action
Of such a board a dishonest seller of
dyes, who did not deliver what he con-
tracted TO deliver, would be banned
from the association and dscredlted
before the buying public.

 Every precaution will be taken to safeguard the rights of the owners. The ships will be insured and armed, and any ships sunk will be replaced at the earliest possible time after the war.
 The amount of tonnage made avail able to the Allies through the Dutch agreement is 100000 tons, of which 70 per cent. is in the United States, 15 per cent. in British ports and Is per cent in other Allied ports.
 The negotiations with Holland have been in progress for many months, and it was expected that an arrange ment would be reached last Christmas. The Germans, however, were con- tinually bringing pressure to bear on Holland, and the delay in reaching an agreement operated continuously to the advantage of Germany and to the disadvantage of the Allies.
 Realizing the difficult position of Holland, the Allies decided to force an immediate settlement.
 While Germany has been obstruct- ing the employment of Dutch tonnage by the Allies, she has been enjoying the use of Dutch barge tonnage on the German canals to an amount greater than the ocean going tonnage thae the Allies will obtain under the new arrangement.
 In addition to the guarantees for insurance and replacement of the ships, Holland is to receive liberal shipments of breadstuffs and other supplies that she needs badly.
 It is the full intention of the Allies to use the ships in all the zones, all though it was proposed under the original agreement that they should not be sent into the war zone.
 Some so Dutch ships are already in the American service under a. three month agreement with Holland. Talk ing over of the tonnage would abro- gate this arrangement.
 There are no indications that the Allied governments will recede from their decision. In fact, a final com munication is understood already to have been presented in the Hague by the British and American diplomatic representatives.
 Diplomats here have no fears that the taking over of the Dutch ships will force Holland into the war, as has been predicted in some quarters. They are certain that Holland will continue her policy of neutrality.

OLDEST MAN IN
 CONNECTICUT IS
 DEAD, AGED 1O4

Stafford Springs March 14.-Elder Amas Morse, long a circuit preacher in the Advent faith and the oldest man here, died here today. Had he lived until May he would be 1O4 years old. Probably he was the oldest man in Connecticut.
 Elder Morse had lived with his daughter, Mrs. M. c. J. Walker, here, for the last five years. Always an abstainer from alcohol and tobacco. he had lived his many years with no sickness, and was active physically and mentally until his last days.
 Elder Morse used to say that he became convinced of the Second Ad- vent through reading his Bible. When 20 years old he joined the Advent church. He was born in Union and his preaching in later life was in the town whereabouts, he being especially in demand for the camp meetings. He was ordained an elder in 1S42 in the Advent branch then known as the Mil Serites. For 60 years he preached, and his last sermon was on the Spring. field camp grounds in 1911.
 MT Morse went to the Legislature from Union in 1860 and 1861. For some years he lived with 9 daughter in Akron, Ohio. Of seven children born to him daughter and son sur, ViVe,
