American Property
In Germany
Claimed That it Has Been Re
spected More Than German
Property Has Been in the
United States

Berlin. July 1.-(Correspondence OF
The Associated Press)-Germany has
not liquidated American private or
business property, Clemens Won Del
bureck, acting Minister of Justice.
told The Associated Press correspond
ence today. He declared that Ger
many did, on March 4, 1912. issue
ruling whereby the liquidation was
permitted because America already
had done the same.
While America carried out this
liquidation measure. the minister said
that Germany never did so, but, O;
the contrary. merely regulated an
administered American property.
stWhen this administration is remov-
ed the Americans will have their free
property again. said Herr Won Del
brueck.
In no single case has Germany
touched or violated American trade
marks" continued the minister. In the
case of patents we distributed licenses
for their use by Germans in five cases
but we never declared American pat
ents null or expired.
American patents and trademarks
might be limited in Germany by an act
of January 5. 1918, if it lay in the pub
lie interest and a German could have.
under certain circumstances a license
to use an American patent. This order
was issued because America, long be-
fore had passed a similar law and
operated it in general. Germany was
particularly hesitating in all these
questions Notwithstanding America
passed a pretentious law Of this klnu.
because Germany hoped to be able
soon 10 resume friendly business re-
lations with the United States.
The Ministry of Justice quoted A.
Mitchell Palmer, formerly Property
Custodian of America, as having de-
clared in his report to United States
senate in February last that Germany
had done the same as America in
liouiGating alien property but had
always been a little ahead of America
in doing so.
'1t is false to say that Germany
preceded America and correct to say
that Germany only used retaliation

An Amazing Revelation.
Tuscaloosa, La, News.)

(TuScalOoSa, La, NeWS.)
A QUESTIONABLE sent out by the
Manufacturers Record of Baltimore
to 303 Of the largest manufacturers
Of cotton, wool and silk fabrics who
do their own dyeing. discloses con-
dition Of mind nothing short of shame
full, when 81 per cent. replied that
they. did not believe American dyes
were the equal of German dyes and
were going to resume the use of Ger
man dyes as soon as they were avail
able.
Before the war the dyestuff indus
try was dominated by Germany. 1t
was a gigantic trust and one Of the
economic weapons with which Ger
many was threatening us. When
the supply of German dyes was cut
off, through the work of the United
States Department of Commerce, aid
was given to start the manufacture
Of dyes in this country, and so sue
cessfully was the work done that we
are in position to be Independent of
Germany in the future, and we have
ourselves become a large exporter
of dyes.
Yet it would seem that there is an
unpatriotic proportion of dyestuff US
ers who care so little about the in
dustrial progress of their country:
who are so forgetful of the outrageous
cond ;ct of Germany, so blind to ev-
cry instinct of patriotism, that they
would resume relations with Ger
many at once and leave an industry
of their own country to perish, and
welcome the same condition which
obtained before che war when millions
of our money went to fill the Golfers
ing. No complaint has come from the
users of goods dyed with American
made dyes. The industry is becom-
ing more proficient and expert every
day. 1t is valuable addition to our
list of industries, giving employment
to thousands OF our people and dis
bursing millions for wages and for
materials. It is greatly to be hoped
that congress will put such a tariff
upon imported dyes as to be prohibi-
tive-and at the same time provide
that home trade be given the benefit
Of the difference in price when home
dyes are used Such miserably un-
patriotic persons as welcome the re-
turn of German dyes would not hest
tate to profteer upon their home
people, 1t would be shame to al
low the dye industry to be throttied
by the unrestricted competition OF
cheap German dyes. and if ever there
was case for the imposition Of q
protective tariff, this seems to be the
instance.

Dutch Weather Prophet Thinks
DOG Days" Now on and Re-
sposible for Rainy Season
(The State.

Discussing the prolonged rainy sea-
son and the possibility Of an early
fall the Dutch Weather Prophet said
yesterday:
"a Columbia resident accosted me
today and said that he hoped it would
not rain because dog days begin on
July %, and if it rained 40 days more
of rain were ahead of us. The day
before a Columbia maiden called at
my office to Inquire for herself ana
a number of other interested folks as
to when the dog days begin. 1 was
not able to make a definite answer.
Really when dog days do begin is
an unsettled question. Almanac max
ers do not agree on any specific day
between July and September. About
735 A D. the date was set as July
IA: tenth century, July 6; 166O-1752,
July 10. after 1852, July 80. The con-
junction of the rising of the dog star
Sirius with the rising Of the Sun was
regarded by the ancients as one OF
the causes of the su1try heat and OF
the superstitions thta if one had
malady like sore, and bathed In
river or ocean surf. the malady would
not heal as long as dog days lasted.
''The ancient Egyptians called ST.
rius the dog star because it SEEM
ed to show the friendly watchfulness
and fidelity of the dog. They asso-
ciated the rising of Sirius as herald
ing the overfiowing Of the Nile. upon.
which great event depended the pros
perity of lower Egypt. as the star be-
came visible above the horizon about
this time.
The Dutch Prophet thinks that
dog days begin with the rising of the
dog star (heliacaD around July 6.
Notwithstanding that the conjunction
does not occur at the same time in
all latitudes like many other similar
matters connected with the rising OF
the sun.
$50 many inquiries are being made
about an early fall and the probabil-z
ity of an early frost that the follow
ing forecast is given. the dates all be-
ing central as heretofore outlined:
Cool period. September IL. light frost
probable in northern latitudes OF
Piedmont; October Is. frost.
1.-The present prolonged period OF
rainfall has about spent its force. 1t
will recur in August with more or
less volume"
