Irish Cambria Manufacturers
Fix Higher Minimum Prices

The leading association of English
and Irish manufacturers of cambria,
fine sheer linen goods largely used for
handkcrchiefs, have agreed on fixed
minimum prices at which their product
is to be sold. The minimum price
named in January 1919 was 40 per cent
above that of January 1918, and 15 per
cent above that of December 1918
The shortage Of flax and linen yarns
is said to have been so great that man
ufacturers were quoting prices 25 per
cent above the minimum established by
the association, and a revision of this
minimum price became necessary.

Better operating conditions in the

Washington, July 12.-With the lift
ing of the blockade against Germany
trading between that country and the
United States, as well as the other as
soclnted powers, has begun. Acting
Secretary of State Polk announced
that blanket licenses were issued for
transactions of American firms and
that details would be given after de-
cIsion by legal experts as TO whether
u German proclamation by the Presi-
dent would be necessary.
Trading In all commodities except
dyestuffs, chemicals and potash, con-
troll over which will be exercised by
the reparations commission set up by
the peace treaty, will be unrestricted,
It was said.
American firms doing business with
Germany must send their agents into
that country without passports, how
ever, as these cannot be issued until
the proclamation of peace. 1t also
was said at the State Department that
there was no certainty when Ameri-
Payments for the goods which this
country sends to Germany must be
made under system of credits to be
arranged later through private capital,
officials said. Details as to this sys-
TEN have not been worked out.
While Germany has large quantities
of goods ready to be exported, it was
doubted that there would be any great
demand for them in this country and
consequently the trade balance in fav-
or of the United States is expected
10 be large.
Germany was said to be in immedi-
ate and pressing need of raw materials
of almost all kinds. particularly cotton
and copper in order to rehabilitate
her industries.
Large amounts of food have been
sent into that country under direction
of the interallied relief commission
but 1t is believed that the demand for
grain and other cereals will be great
Clothing of all kinds also is needed.
Three ships for Germany already
have been loaded in Amarican ports
one with cotton and two with genera
merchandise, it was said ut the ship
ping board, and they will start over
seas as soon us licenses for their car
goes have been issued.
1t was announced that direct steam

ROUND TRIP MADE IN 1873 HOURS

Pulham, Norfolk, England, July ~.
Great Britain's mammoth transat-
lantic air pioneer, the dirigible R-34,
arrived at the air station here at g :38
O'Clock, Greenwich mean time, July 18,
completing her round trip from the
British Isles to the United States and
return.
The R-34 poked her nose out of the
clouds northeast of the village and,
after circling the flying field three
times, glided gently to the ground, and
ten minutes later was housed in the
dirigible shed. The voyage from Long
Island was without particular Incident
and was completed in approximately
seventy-five hours.
As the R-S4 approached the field,
she dropped from height of 5000
feet to 1000 feet. The 400 men who
were to aid the airship In landing
were ordered to their positions and
waited silently as the ship circled the
field, dropping lower and lower.
When Maj. G.. ii. Scott, her COM
mander, had maneuvered the airship
into position for the landing, the water
ballast was released to steady her and
rope was thrown from the bow.
The rope was grasped by eager hands
and the giant ship moved across the
field to the shed where the delicate
operation of berthing her was com
pleted quickly without accident.
A military band, stationed ON the
field, played "The Call of Duty" as
the alrship began to settle, and then
changed to the strains of See, the
Conquering Hero Comes" As the ship
was warped into the shed, the band
played Keep the Home Fires Burn
ing"
Regular airship service between
Europe and America is bound to come,
and soon," said Col. w. N. Hensley,
Jr., of the United States army air serv-
ice, as he climbed out of the car and
shook hands with British officers.
The members of the crew were
eagerly surrounded by friends who
were waiting in the airdrome. George
Graham, the chief engineer, proudly
carried his pet kitten, which was born
at East Fortune.
1--WE were never out of touch with
the world, although we met a lot of
fog" said Lieut.. II. ID. Durrant, the
wireless officer. 'It was hot in New
York, cold in the middle Atlantic, and
you see what it is here"
Brig. Gen. E. NJ. Maitland, the rep
resentative of the air ministry on the
R-34 who kept the log of the voyage,
said:
1--WE were sent by the air ministry
TO demonstrate that airships can do q
long sea voyage, with the ultimate
view of their commercial use later.
Airships undoubtedly will be used In
the future over sea and over land.
hey will not conflict in any way with
the airplane or seaplane, but all will
work together
'0ur reception in America was
extraordinary. The people there, i'm
pressed with our voyage, fully realize
the commercial possibility of the big
airship. 1t was wonderful sight as
we passed over the great electric signs
in New York. The members of the
crew were disappointed because they
were not able to land at East Fortune,
where most of them have homes"
