GERMAN VIEWS OF THE WAR. 



German reports indicate that the rubber factories produ 



Is for the army have been very busj in som< depart 



ments, such as sanitary and hospital supplies, bicycle and 

 automobile tires, and the ai iries of aviation. This 



cupation will, however, it is considered, hardly offset tin 

 of regular business in other departments. 



The most important German rubber works are provided 

 with a supply of crude rubber for the next few months 

 As, however, the military authorities have seized all the avail- 

 able benzine, benzole, etc., there is a dearth of solvents. 



A German rubber cm expresses his opinion as to 



the situation: 



"The success achieved so far b) our arms leads lis to hope for 

 the early conclusion of peaci It is in that case not t" be 

 doubted that our industry will again be busily occupied, and 



i ii will succeed in making up for the severe losses caused 

 by the war. besides making a progressive development. 



Although in a mote favorable position than that occupied 

 by fancy goods, toys and industries dependent on fashion, 

 the manufacture of rubber goods was much affected by the 

 outbreak of the war. The lack of skilled workmen, drafted for 

 the war, has been severely felt." 



GERMAN EXPORT PROHIBITIONS. 



According to German official proclamations of Augu 

 and 31. explanatory of previous notices, the following articles 

 are subject to proliibitii cport and transit commerce,— 



surgical wadding and gauze, rubber for goods for drainage 

 tubes, bandages, etc.. a- well as surgical instruments and ap- 

 pliances Asbestos, graphite, rubber waste and cleaning wool 

 arc likewise included in the exporl prohibition
