RELIEF FOR CHRISTMAS TRADE
WASHINGTON, Aug. 80. Conces
sions In the enforcement against
Amerlacan commerce of the British
order In council were announced to
day aa a result of informal negotia
tions Just completed by the foreign j
trade advisers of the State depart
ment. The British ambassador, Sir Cecil
Fnrlng-Rlce assured the trade ad-j
vlsers that their informal representa- j
Hons In cases where the British j
orders have caused "undue hardship" j
to American commerce will receive
special consideration.
Information In the hands of the State
department that private brokers wero se
curing permits in Ixmdon for Bpoclal
shipments of American good3 from Rot
terdam, while the trade advisers were un
able even to present special cases, was
transmitted to London.
Th ambassador called at the State de
partment personally to explain the ex
tent of the British concessions, which
Rre especially Intended to meet the grow
ing ' complaint of American Importers !
that their Christmas trade is threatened
by failure to obtain goods made in Ger
many and Austria for which they had
contracted.
Applies to Roods in Rotterdam.
Generally epeafclng It is the intention
of the British government to permit the
passage through the blockade lines of j
goods for which the American Importers j
have enUred Into contract with Germun '.
and Austrian firms. Heretofore, it has
hoc-n renuired that the money shun have!
actually been paid for the gaods. Now, .
it will be sufficient to show that they ;
were reguiariy coniruciea ior aim umi

of dollars have accumulated at Hotter- (

In German factorlea. but under contract

is yet undetermined.
The success of private Interest in Lon
don represented by special attorneys in
securing the release of about 1600,000
worth of such goods now on the docks Is
explained at the British embassy here
as due to the fact that the local attor
neys there were able to secure and pres
ent to the British authorities the proof
required aa to the character of the goods
and the conditions of contract. Now It Is

Kaiser Holding Dyestnffs.
The entire responsibility for holding
up of dyestuffs of German manufacture
Intended for America is placed by the
British authorities upon the German '
government, and It la alleged that a con-
irary impression nam oun"1- w w
created becaube of Ui feeling against
Great Britain. To set Itself straight the
British embassy today Issued the follow
ing statement:
"On April 14 a formal notice was Issued
by the British government that they
would allow vessels carrying two ship
ments of dyestuffe, which were paid for
by delivery In Germany of certain cot
ton cargoes to pass without Interference,
provided the vessels sailed under a neu
tral flag; that the shipments were made
from Rotterdam and the dyestuffs con
signed to the secretary of commerce for
distribution directly to the textile indus
tries. "This offer, which was refused by Ger
many, still holds good."

No official statement has been made re

eema good ground for the belief that the

LONDON, Aug. 30. Reports from

The Russian lines on the upper

serious a resistance Is being offered
to the vast enveloping movement
from the south.
Having lost Rrest-Mtovsk. Orand Duke
Nicholas cannot afford to hold the river

ventured by some English critics that
this latest move may conclude for the
present the great offensive effort against
the Kusrlans. which have been In pro
gress since May, and that once Austrian
soli la cleared of the tnvsdcrs a new
campaign may be undertaken by the
I Teutonic forces, this time in the near

the report that the central powers are
massing troops near the Roumanian bor
