GERMANS HASTEN
TO RECOUP TRADE
Edward c. Worden Reports
Feverish Activity in all the
Chemical Industries.

PARIS, June 2s.---"Germany Is fever
ishly perfscting preparations for super
human attempt to regain her pre-war
industrial and economic prestige"
This statement was made to-day by
Edward c. worden. an American au-
thority on chemistry. who has just re-
turned from an inspection Of German
Industrial centres on a special mission
for the American Government.
From an inspection OF a majority OF
the large chemical manufacturing estab-
llshments In the occupied territory Of
the Rhine provinces, especially around
Cologne and Ludwigshaven," continued
Mr.. Worden. 1T appears that Germany
IL In a position to resume manufacturing
as soon as raw materials can be OBJ
tanned. Since the armistice the plants
have undergone 4 thorough and pains
taking overhauling In anticipation Of
resumption of production on a large
scale. In contradistinction to the watch
full waiting policy In a majority OF
the allied countries.
Upward OF 5000 wori<men are en-
ployed In tho operation and on new con-
struction at the Badische plant for nitro
gen fxatlon located at Oppau. q few
miles from Ludwigshaven- Storage ca
pacity has been built or Ia In process Of
erection for upward of 600. 900 tons of
ammonium salts for fertilizing purposes,
mainly ammonium sulphate. 1t Is said
that the German Government has adj
vanced for this project alone two million
marks to assist the movement for the
restoration Of Germany's former indus
trial supremacy.
Whereas at the time Of tina signing
Of the armistice only the foundations Of
-. L..l
had been laid. the works at the present
time are in active production. operating
on twenty-four hour day basis. Fur
thermore. another plant of still greater
magnitude is being erected by the same
interests on the opposite bank Of the
Rhine.
This is but one cogent example Of the
policy of Germany. The immediate
period of reconstruction. as evidenced by
the preparations proceeding In German
chemical factories to-day. Is to be deter
mined largely by the bulk and quality
OF the Industrial output. From the ac-
tivity in these chemical plants and the
new buildings and additions OF a perma-
nent nature going up everywhere there
can be only one conclusion, namely. that
the German people are laying a perma-
nent foundation for commercial agrees
siveness upon a broad and solid basis.
The immense Bayer factory at Lev
erkusen has been transformed from q
war time footing to a peace time manu-
basis and has In stock ready
for immediate shipment several thou
sand tons Of dyestuffs. pharmaceutical
and Photographic chemicals. besides in
products of worldwide de-
mand before the war.
From the chemical activity every
where II Is apparent that a. soon as
the opportunity comes relentless indus
trial aggression will be inaugurated, and
all evidence points to q thorough and
organization to insure per-
maEent success"

ships y A few Germans hung about.
lastly watching the sishtseers; all Of
whom remarked the cowed appearances
Of the Germana
After sailing around one OF the Brit
ish hospital ships the party began In
return, when 10 the amasemsnt, as IL
from some secret signal, the German
eagles shot to the masthesds. The ships
then began to settle In the water, with
the result -thst the scene became one
OF great activity Boats and RATS were
launched and the German sailors with
their baggage scrambled down the sides
OF the sinking ships into boats, each Of
which holsted 4 white nag.
Within fifteen minutes the nrst Of the
big vessels took q heavy list and then
turned turtle, hesitated and disappeared.
A strong patrol Of marines was sent
along tho beach to gather up the pris-
oners. Of whom 100 were soon corraied.
All the prisoners were In remarkably
high spirits.
Plans are under way for clearing the
harbor of the wreckage. probably by
blasting. to remove the danger Of foul
Ing the anchorage.
Court-MsrtisI Demanded.
The great force of public opinion u
inning up pehind three demands: First.
Immediate court-martial for tho officers
and crews OF the sunhen ships; two. the
surrender, by Germany. Of all ships re-
naming In her possession. and three, the
payment by Germany. for the work Of
clearing Scapa Flow.
= Discussion OF the sinking incident
overshadows even the doings OF the
Peace Conference. There are not few
who are smiling over the audacity Of the
Germans, and many give them credit
for carrying out the huge plan without
a single hitch. Others md amusement
In the fact that all the elaborate prepa-
rations were carried out under the nose
OF the Admiralty.
Putting aside the political situation,
there is surprisingly little resentment
over the loss Of SO much valuable prop
erty; which accounts for the fact that
many Englishmen are laughing over Il.

tins announcing that the German feet
had been sunk In Scapa Flow arrived
too late for the morning editions of
Berlin papers to-day and the people re-
ceived their fret Information through
noon editions In a more auspicious PC
litical situation the news might have
CAUSED an outburst of enthusiasm, but
the public was not moved to demon
stration. The Admiralty has received
nothing beyond q brief bulletin. which
came by way Of Holland.
Commenting upon the sinking OF the
feet, the Berlin Gazette says that II was
perhaps a deed OF folly, as Germany
might have been able to force An indem-
nifty for the surrender OF the warships.
Nevertheless" II continues, ct was q
handsome Deed"
The Nsus 0asstts says: The officers
and men who performed this deed may
be forRivtn.. They acted In the spirit In
which they were trained. On the other
hand. II their action carries with Il in
furious results for Germany II must be
regretted, for Germany IL hardly In a

heroic poses. and the brief satisfaction
Of appearing before the world In this
