EVENING LEDGER- PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JULY 11, 191G. B& s,J DYES ON DEUTSCHLAND MAY HAMPER TRADE , HERE INSTEAD OF AID Qnestion of Helpfulness of U-Boat's Cargo Debated by Dyers and Dealers QUANTITY NEGLIGIBLE Tho effect of tho Importation of dyealuffs brought to this country by tho German sub marine merchantman Doutschland Is lowed In a contradictory light by dyers and deal ers In this city. Some of tho former bellow that the receipt of German dyci means a foltcf from tho present Intolerable situation In the Industry, whllo dealers hold a con trary view. "If tho report Is true," paid V?. II. Bailey, superintendent of the Hilton Dyeing- and Finishing Company, 2112 Jasper street, "that tho submarine his 1000 tons of dye stuffs en board, it should mako n big dif ference In tho dye situation, especially as It Is probablo that other similar boats aro on their way with additional dyeatuffs. "Of course, It will be no relief," ho con tinued, "If tho present high prices aro nskod Xor this dye material. Thero la a. price limit and In dyes tho limit has been reached and passed for, many colors. "If tho consignees aro willing to charge reasonable prices for tho dyes, even 1000 tons will help, but if prices nro to bo kept up tho oxporlment will bo o, failure" Joseph 11. Fostor, of Joseph II. Foster Sons, 2 Clearfield Btrcct, also ono of tho largest dyeing plants In tho city, said 1000 tons of dyostuffa would not bo a drop In the bucket and would not make tho slightest difference In tho dyo situation. Ho said a lino of Buch boats as tho Deutschland bringing cargoes would mako a. big differ ence. Ho Bald it would tnko 16,000 tons of dycstulTa to affect tho market, and expressed tho opinion that from Information ho had direct from friends In Germany tho quantity of dyes avallablo thero was ory small. Tho nnlllna dyes brought to this country from Germany by tho nubmarlno Doutsch land nro likely to harm rathor than benoflt tho dyo situation, Harry Drown, head of tho Kallo Color and Chemical Company, Ino., said today. This firm, at 31 Letltla street, is ono of tho largest in tho city handling dyestuffs. "In all probability tho Doutschland brought over no moro than 600 tons of dyes," ho said. "Dyestuffs aro very badly noedod hero, and this Is such a small quantity as to bo of almost negllglblo value. Distribute this through tho big Industrial centres and no ono will got enough of It to do much good, Even If this vera dis tributed through only a taw big cities, such as New York, Boston and Philadelphia, Philadelphia manufacturers might only get about 20 tons. "Tho markot, which, as Is common know ledge, has sufforcd by tho scarcity of dye stuffs slnco tho beginning of tho war, will bo hurt because tho manufacturers are likely to refuso to buy In the belief that other undersea boats will bring moro dyo to this country. Thero Is no likelihood, de oplto this remarkable performance, of bring ing any great quantity of dyes to tho United States." E. Halbnch, manager of tho Badlscho Company, another largo dyo firm, of 111 Arch street, said that Philadelphia manu facturers wero certain to got somo of tho dyestuffs, but not very much. A. II. S, Soltz, manager of tho Holler & llorz Company, dyes, 114 Markot street, expressed admiration for tho resourceful ness of tho Germans and safd that It would bo of great advantago to American manu facturers if a regular transatlantic subma rine Bcrvlco could bo established.

LEWIS Shows Isolation of This Country Doesn't Afford Protection, Asserts International Law Expert GALLS HER MERCHANTMAN Tho feat of tho German submarlno Doutschland In bringing n cargo of mer chandise to this country from Germany will bo a strong argument for national prepared noss by this country, according to John Fredorlck Lewis, recognized authority on International questions. "Tho oaso with which this Bupcr-submarlno mado tho 4000 mllo trip Is taken to demonstrato conclu slcly that our Isolation no longor affords us Such protection that preparedness Is not ossenttal," ho said. Sir. Lewis. In discussing tho achievement of tho submarlno today, anticipated tho rul ing of tho Stoto Department that tho craft Is a mcrohant essel ahd not a warship. , 'Tho transatlantic- passago of tho Gorman submarine," Mr. Lowls said, "Is a wonderful argumont for preparedness, and the oaBe with which sho npparontty made tho trip will bo a strong argument on tho side of thoso who oro urging tho UnUed States Government to make ltsolf ready for any contingency. "Whether n vessel Is n merchant Bhlp or n. warship Is not determined by her size or shape, nor Is It determined entirely by tho fact that Bho Is armed or unarmed. The matter is largely one of intention indicated by hor papers, hor stores, hor cargo, her omccro and crow. "Tho Gorman submarine will bo claimed, I prosumo, to bo a merchant vessel by the Gormnn Govornmont, because she Is loaded with a cargo of merchandise- to bo sold In this country, and I presume tho German Government will contend that sho is virtu ally unarmed or that tho two 8-lnoh guns oho is Bald to carry aro Intended to be used for dofonsive purposes. If sho la fitted or Buppltod with torpedo tubes and torpedoes, nnd If sho carries a Bupply of munitions of war. Intended for offensive rather than moro dofcnslvo use, tho fact that sho la registered nnd cleared as a merohant vessol would probably not. In tho opinion of the United Btates Government, prevent her from being classed as n vessel of war. But If, unnrt thn nthtr lintirl. film has been duly rcg- tertd and cleared as n. merchantman, and! Is loaded with merchandise to bo sola, ner mfuBton will probably bo held to be by the Government as ono of peace. "Submarines nro not very dissimilar In shape to the whalebacks, which were and still oro engaged In Lake trafflo ond which have crossed tho Atlantic" UNDERSEA FREIGHTER SOON MAY DOCK HERE Next Submersible May Put Into Philadelphia to Evade Warships Philadelphia shipping men would not be surprlsod to See a Gorman underBea mer chantman enter this port In the nenr future. In fact, there was a rumor that one of tho firms which handled German shipping would receive two of those craft early In Septombor. This rumor could not bo veri fied. Thero was another rumor that a Gor man Bubmorslblo already was bound for America and would come Into Philadelphia, ovadlng the allied cruisers which aro main taining a watch off the Virginia Capes. Whllo all of tho shipping Interests in thlo city acknowledged that this was one of the greatest marlno feats of modern times, It was the general bollef that the submarine would not prove a commercial Bitccess In tlmo of poace. It was admitted, however, that a U-boat might mako big profits during tho war by bringing dyestuffs and medicines from Germany and taking homo the American products which Ger many most needs. Thero was unrestrained Joy aboard the German Bteamshlpa Rhaetla nnd Prlnz Os kar, of the Hamburg-Amerloan Lino, which ajo anchored at this port Officers and crew alike hailed tho submarine as a god send to Germany, nnd believed that it would break the food blockade. Maritime men said that Philadelphia was as avallablo to those vessels as any other port on the Atlantto coast George P. Sproule, secretary of tho Commissioners of Navigation, said!

"I cannot Imagine that a submarine, such as the Deutschland, wilt ever figure to any extent as a commercial Venture, because there would be a limit to the weight It would be nble to enrry. For Instance, tho bulk of the cargoes brwght to our port from Europe, tho West Indies and South America are dead weight, such as Iron ore, sugar and nitrate. In time of peaco It would not pay to send a Vessel across the Atlantto unless It could carry from 6000 to ?000 tons. Besides, what Is to be galnod by building vessels of the submarine type for peaceful commercial purposes? "I believe thero will be no revolution of merchant ship construction along such lines." Captain Mnas, of the German steamship Prlnz Oskar, which has been held here since August i, 1914, was delighted at the feat He said It was another victory for German seamanship and Inventive genius. He decrletf the attempts of Simon Lake to libel the boat because of patent Infringement, nnd said thw outcry was meant to steal the glory from Germany. NunocnicB .COtlN kit.
