DYE INTERESTS HERE.
LACK KEY COLORS
Germany Refuses to Deliver
American Share to Repara-
tions Commission.

PARIS, March (Associated Press).-
The American dye industry is said to be
in danger OF Inconvenience by Germany's s
refusal to deliver the American share Of
dyes to the Preparations Commission un-
til the controversy between the textile
alliance and the minority dye interests
In that country Is ended. America has
not received its share of the German
dyes for more than four weeks.
While tho American dye industry
manufactures a majority of its own dyes
those dyes which have been supplied by
Germany through the Preparations Com
mission are what are known as key"
dyes, without which no industry could
continue for any length of time to per-
form acceptable work. America has
been receiving the important dyes at
the rate of s2,o00,000 yearly. They in
clude dyes manufactured in Germany
from processes which remain a secret
When the american Government
failed after two weeks to respond to
cable despatch sent II by the Repara-
tons Commission on the subject of dive
deliveries, or to a dHrect communication
said to have been sent by the Textile
Al1ance representatives here to Presi-
dent Harding. Germany served notice
tsnat she did not feel called on to deliver
dyes to the commission for America
unless the Washington Government in
dicated Its approval OF the Textile Al
lance or some other responsible agency
for their receipt
In the meantime American observers
say they have been informed that Ger
many Is exporting her dyes to the United
states at prices two and three times
higher than she had been credited with
by the Preparations Commission. The
German dye manufacturers. these oh
servers assert, would like the Repara-
tions Commission arrangement abolished
SO that she might cell direct to the
United States at greatly increased prices.
II. Is added that the commission does
not take this view and that 1t probably
would demand resumption OF deliveries
OF dyes IL the matter were placed in its
hands. For the present, however. the
officials are credited with saying they
cannot act because of the failure OF the
American Government to make a deci-
sion in the controversy

Days Bank Clearings
Go Over Billion Mark
Dated March l, 1922

~ ANIS clearings for the city of
- New York crossed the billion
dollar mark yesterday and
bankers professed to see in the In
crease of Sl95, ,14s.991. as compared
with March /, 1921, an indication of
improving business.
Daily bank clearings OF late have
run behind those for the corre-
spending days year ago. but the
turn to an advance was striking
and significant. The large volume
is due no doubt to the disburse-
ments of various sorts, such as
dividends, interest and maturities
scheduled for the first day of
March, but the similar disburse-
ments a year ago were almost as
large. In consequence the increase
in clearings is held to be a con-
structive factor.

INDIAN UNREST
 CAUSES ANXIETY

London. Jan. s1-By the A. .P.)--- Beginning of the 'tcivil disobedience'' campaign in India fixed for today, caused several London newspapers to discuss the outlook which they re- gard with considerable anxiety.
 Reports appear almost daily in the London press showing that the non cooperation propaganda is becoming intensified in the rural areas where the peasantry- is elated at the pros pect held out by agents of M. K. Gandhi, non-co-operationist leader. that they may be exempted from tax ation. There are also indications of serious unrest in some provinces, chiefly at Barabanki and Hardoi, in northern Oudh. where it is reported agitatOrs are exciting the people with assertions similar to those which materially aided the cause of the h. dian mutiny.
 Among these are statements that the British are mixing wines with the medicines issued at the public dispensares and are using pork fat in certain manufactures. (Both pork and wine are anatheTna to Mohamme-- danS).

Believe Smallpox
 Now Under Control
6ureau of Preventable Dis eases Issues Statement on Causes,

The bureau of preventable dis Sases, State Department of Health pas issued a special" report concern
 n6 the recent outbreak of smallpox
 0 various Connecticut cities. The re- port indicates that during January fnere- were 94 cases of the disease re- RoIHed to the department as follows: SHdgeport 82. New London l, Mil Eocd ]. Norwa1k l, Stratford 2 Wal Nngford 6. Windsor L
 Concern1ng the sources Of the vari- gus outbreaks the department has is- 6ned the following statement:
 From study of the cases made py the local health officers in the eooVe communities, it was apparent Snat the smallpox in Norwalk, Mil 9ord, Stratford and Wa,Iingford was directly connected with the Bridge port outbreak. The case reported From Windsor was infected in Yer mont, where the patient went on a
 grip. The New London case was tn- Hected while in South Carolina. At fhe present time the situation seems Hc be well under control in the com
 nunties mentioned above. Health Q6flcers in the comm unicatfon near Snese places are warned to be on the lookout for cases as it is still poss1- pie that persons who have been in Bridgeport may become i'll with 8malpox with unknown smallpox ssRases in that city, particularly during sE71e incubation period.
 Smallpox is increasing in the SRnIL60 states It Is IS the rule Tor health officials to be the object of a lereat amount of criticism when epi- demics spread in a community. In ehe past, smallpox was a great &courge and caused many fatalities. kf the present time. the fatalities are Fewer because of the nnildness of the ,&dsease, but disagreement is the Casual aftermath of the disease in Ehose individuals who are so unfor- 'Eunate as to suffer from it. Recently, However, Kansas City has had over s&20 deaths due to smallpox, approxi- s&nately B 1-3 per cent. of the cases F&ying; and Denver, Col, has had a sztInilar condition, but the fatality is Apparently greater in Denver than Kansas City.
 As evidence of the alarming in- .Hrease of smallpox in the United $tates the health department refers 70 the following statistics from the ,J&nnual report of the surgeon general fp6 the United States for the years &17-192O: 1916. 15,450 cases (33 tes); IS deaths (29 states); 1917, #6,1S7 (37 states). 297 deaths (35 sktates); 1918, 69.S19 cases (35 states), B45 deaths (27 states); 1919, 53,344 pases (36 states), 2S7 deaths CPS $tates); 1920, 94, 691 t36 states), 366 &@aths CPS states
