MANY NEEDS ARE SUPPLIED OWING TO THE NEW CONDITIONS : THAT EXIST. Artificial ' Leather, Artificial Silk, Fuel Oils, Wood Pulp for Cotton Uses Are All Products of Factories and Laboratories Since War Be- gan. Washington, D. C., Oct. 18.--That Germany. is not the oply. belligerent country that has devised flew means of meeting the exigincies of war is shown in a report from Consul Clair- borne, of Brandford, England, who) says that British manufacturers have found many ways of providing arti- cles made extremely scarce because of war demands. Artificial leather, a good substitute for leather; artificial silk, various fuel oils, wood pulp for many uses to which cotton was form- erly supposed to be alone suited, and new means of recovering rubber from waste rubber goods, are some of-the extensively developed materi- als and processes. British Inventors Busy. _§#Scientific research and invention have been most active in Great Brit- ain since the war began, the Consul says, and many substitutes have been found for articles hitherto regarded as practically indispensable. Many of the imported analine dyes have been supplanted by home-made dyes that were formerly entirely. neglect- ed. The production of alcohol from woog pulp has started up, and wood pulp is being employed in silk weav- ing where before cotton was used. The British are beginning to make kerosene engines to take the place of gasoline engines, and there is a con- siderable use of benzol in lieu of gasoline. 1 Artificial Leather, One of the interesting substitutes is artificial leather. Linen duck is coated with varnish to which is add- ed a small quantity of siccative and Venetian red. Several layers of the dried linen are then joined together in sheets of various thickness. The adhesive mixture used for this pur- pose consists of four parts of heated wood tar pitch with the addition dur- ing constant stirring of two parts of India rubber dissolved in benzol, four parts of Venetian 'red mixed to a thick consistency with French tur- pentine oil and two parts of cork powder. Sheets thus prepared are ers. The product, it is claimed, serves as an 'substitute for leather, for the sales of footwear. It ly be sewn and pegged, and can replace lesther in many of its uses.

London, Oct. 18.--Writing four days ago from the front, a Canadian artillery officer says: "The severity of the fighting round here which con- tinues day by day is almost past all imagination. Every new stretch of ground over which we advance is a wilderness. There is not an inch of ground not torn up; not a brick left on another in any villag& whatever.

GERMANY'S MAIN EFFORT Would Sacrifice All For Eastern Do- mindon. Oct. 18.~--Du..B,.J. Dillon, ina teh from to the Daily Te ph says: "It is come clear to the dullest apprehen- sion that, for the time being at any rate, the principal war theatre has' shifted to the near east, where the Allies are confronted not merely with Bulgars and Turks, but with the troops of the Central Empires com- manded by their four best generals-- Falkenhayn, Hindenburg, Mackensen add von Artz. "So important for Germany is the maintenance of communications be- tween Berlin and the near east that she is ready, as I know, to make peace to-day on the basis of the evacuation of France and Belgium, but on con- dition that she and her confederates be permitted to deal with Russia and the Balkan States. For if the upshot of the war left her the makings of an Oriental empire #eaching from Ham- burg to the Persian Gulf she would consider this result worth the sacri- fices made."

London, Oct, 18.--""What stands in" the way of creating a Greek repub- lic?" asks the Daily Mail in an edi- torial, declaring that a Greek repub- lic was favored by General Sarrail, the commander-in-chief of the Allied operations in the Balkans, as well as by ex-Premier Venizelos and other Greek leaders, The Mail continues; "Ramor says that the obstacle to a republic is not in Greece, but in the courtly minds of statesmen elsewhere, for example, Viscount Grey. But it seams incred- ible that the theory of divine right should have any considerable sup-- porters in England. If the Greeks want a republic, we see no reason why they should not have it."
