ARE SEIZED IN U, s,
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 27.-German
hopes of reconquering American mar
kets received another blow today.
Users of dyes, chemicals, fertilizers
and other products originated by Ger
man science were notified by the alien
property custodian that importations
from Germany would hereafter be sub
ject to prosecution as infringement Of
patents licensed under the Trading
with the Enemy act for use by Ameri-
can manufacturers.
Possibility Of a dumping of great
surplus stocks which Germany was
reported to have accumulated with the
intention of underselling and perhaps
sitting the infant American industries
in the same lines thus has been block
ed effectually before shipments could
begin. Government officials regarded
the decision of far-reaching impor-
lance in this country.

determine the exact location Of sounds

location of hostile batteries and in de-
tecting the approach Of the enemy.
The digging of trenches or tunnels in
the earth also could be located with
great accuracy.
Almost equally valuable uses Will be
found for the geophone in mining OPP

sounding purposes or in determining
the location Of men blocked from es-
cape by cave-ins of explosions.

 Paris. Feb. 20 - Premier CIemen- ceau not very long ago used to say that he did not believe he had a real friend in France. If he stili cherish ed that belief after the victory over the Germans it would seem that he can no longer do so. for this morn ings Paris newspapers all unite in eX- pressing sympathy and praise for the wounded statesman. Two extracts from newspapers of wideIy-varying views may be cited in this connection. Says the Humanite the Social organ:
 Premier CIemenceau was yester- day our determined formidable ad- versary. and he will be tomorrow. It leaves us only the freerer to stig- matize the idiotic attempt from which he has happily escaped" On the other hand the Libere Parole, the roy alist and anu-semitic newspaper says:
