Germany Is carrying on a vigorous
campaign of dumping her goods in
Spain that Is giving the Germans con-
troll Of some of the most important
Spanish markets, according to Emanuel
Brousse. formerly French liquidator of
war stocks, who has returned from a
tour OF Spain and Portugal. He traces
Spain's present troubles to the invasion
by Germans during the war. especially
to the thousands of soldiers who were
repatriated from the Cameroons and to
members Of German submarine crews
who found shelter In Spanish waters
during the world conflict.
Finding other nations hesitant in con-
nection with developing business in
Spain, Germany, according to M.
Brousse, has accumulated vast stocks of
merchandise in all parts of Spain, and
especially in Barcelona, where thousands
of tons of concentrated dye stuffs are
being offered by the Germans at prices
defying all competition and threatening
to cause the collapse of the Spanish dye
industry.
In addition to this. the Germans al
ready have captured the Spanish mo-
nopoly OF weaving machinery by apply
ing "squeeze-out methods TO their
competitors" A year ago the Spaniards
were selling weaving machines at the
equivalent of 10000 francs. but as soon
as the Germans entered the market the
price was forced down so per- cent.
Facing ruin, Spani weaving machinery

and accepted the German offers TO

London, May I'll.
Not since the years before the war
have there been so many American
visitors in England. Down Piccadilly
any fine morning one meets those who
few weeks ago We're giving distinc-
tion TO Fifth avenue. The little old
hota.. of London in the quiet streets
of Mayfair, which cannot vie with
the grandeur of the Plaza or the
traditions, are crowded with them.
But these visitors from the United
States do not belong only TO the
leisured classes over here to renew
acouaintances with London society,
which, indeed, Is rather changed and
saddened after the years of tragic
history. Business men, bankers and
traders Of all kinds are taking look
around Eurcne to study the possibili-
open new markets, and they find that
England IS apt to keep them back
from other countries longer than they
expected because of some queer old
spell in its way of life.
Some of those I meet cannot ac-
count for this. They find London
looking shabbier and dingier than of
old mt the beginning of summer. be-
cause people here do not seem TO have
money to spend repainting their
homes. Owing to the labor troubles
and the ceaseless strikes, or threats
of strike, they find railway travelling
here uncomfortable and the hotels re-
stricted in their service of baths, hot
water and fires on chilly evenings.
Yet many of them linger in England,
and In spite of the criticisms and
petty annoyances they admit they
are having a perfectly good time.
Lured by Beauty In Country.
One thing Is unaltered in this coun.
fry. where much Is changing. That is
the pageant of beauty of the English
countryside, and as an Engllshman I
like to hear Americans say what Is
certainly true-that never has Ii been
more beautiful than in these days Of
early summer, when all the fields are
strewn with the gold and the silver
OF buttercups and daisies, when the
woods and the lanes are carpeted with
primroses and bluebells. when all the
