.Jewelry


Reentrance of Germany into the
commercial activities Of the world will
have little effect upon the jewelry in
dustry of this country aside rom a
stiffening of competition for export
trade. This is the way August Gold
smith, of Goldsmith, Stern & Co, man
ufacturing jewellers, look upon the com
marcal effect of peace As to the abil-
ity of Germany to meet new financial
obligations, Mr.. Goldsmith declares
that this, it is likely. in part will be an
swered by loans from this country.
"The United States must extend for
eigr loans if the manufacturers here
expect to dispose of their surplus mer-
chandise,' he said "The European
countries have no cash with which to
purchase our goods, which in most
lines are being produced in an over
abundance"

Expect Big German Trade
In virtually all lines of merchandise,
the opinion was expressed that Ger
many would be a heavy buyer, and
willingness to trade with Germany
seemed general, provided she can fur
nish an acceptable form of payment.
Merchants voiced their determination
not to carry German accounts them
selves as contingent liability.
The Scandinavian countries, it is un-
derstood, are heavily stocked with mer-
chandise bought in this country, which
they will be ready to ship into Ger
many as soon as restrictions are re-
moved.

Immediate trade with Germany upon

The first is the uncertainty of German
that American woollen cloth producers

1t is believed that some American
woollen products will find their way
into Germany through neutral coun-

Leaders of the copper trade declined
to make an estimate of Germany's
copper needs, although they declared
the country was practically stripped Of
the metal and that its needs would be
extremely large. Before the war Ger
many purchased one-third of the total
exports of the metal from this coun-

connection with the preparedness day

by John b. DenSmOre, former special
agent of the department of justice, who

response to resolution calling for in
formation as to activities of the de-

Densmore's report was forwarded by
Secretary Wilson, accompanying his
own statement.
Much of the information obtained by
Mr.. Densmore and his assistants, the
report said, was secured by use of die

trial. as enumerated in his report, in
clude the following:
"The apparent failure of the district

the easy adaptability of some of the

prosecution occasionally adopted an
untenable theory and then changed to
another not quite so preposterous, and
the refusal of the public prosecutor to
call witnesses who actually saw the
falling Of the bomb.
"In short, the general nimslness and
imprObahility of the testimony adj
