WARNING TO THE UNITED STATES.
COUNT BEENSTORFF'S DISCLAIMER."
[FROM "THE TIMES" COLRESPONDENT }
WASHINGTON, September 24th There are various fresh and striking indications to day that not the least difficult of the tasks which Germany has set herself is that of gulling the American Messrs. llbert & Co. Piece Goods Public Count Bernstorff has taken the method anticipated in theso columns of Market Report says:→
announcing the failure of his manœuvre to put us in the wrong by talking about pence. To reporters last night he unbosomed himself as follows:
There is little of fresh interest to report, the further and persistent decline in exchange which has taken place in the meantime having been an upsetting factor in the trade. As far as demand for actual country outlets is concerned, there has been some slight improvement in clearance, from stock of dyed and fancy goods, but otherwise there is but little support being accorded to importers,
Export figures from Manchester to this market as shown below are naturally exceedingly sanall, and the quantity of unshipped contracts cannot now be heavy, bet market values here have such a very great amount of leeway to make up before costs can be anywhere near covered at present exchange, that the lower basis of values now ruling in producing centres on account of cheap cotton and absence of business can be of but academic interest to the trade of this port.
* Mr. Churchill, in a speech of which the violence may be excused by the fact that he was trying to raise volunteers, has conveyed his opinion that the peaco movement in the United States was started by me. I wish, therefore, to repeat that I never took any initiative in the mattor in any way. I beg to tay that any suggestions that ever came to me CAMO either from the United States Government or from distinguished Americans."
A. continuance of innuendo about our difficulties in recruiting should be noticed, as should such things as an interview by `an anonymous American published in this morning's issue of the New York Tinies about the shortage of rifles and other war material with which Lord Kitchener is alleged to be confronted.

is
Objects and Reasons,
The main object of this Bill is to provide for the payment of the liquidators' expenses and remuneration in case the nett assets -after dedueting the value of the securities held by secured creditors shall be insufficient to satisfy such expenses and remuneration. Under the Bill these expenses and remunera- tion take priority over every other liability, as they are absolutely necessary in the: interest of all persons concerned..
As to what Count Bernstorff says about The nearing of the expiry of the the peses business, it is doubtful whether sitate the meeting from the 4th November American pacifists of the illusion that onwards, throughout the three following months of the bills extended during the might remain to them about the sincerity preceding three months, is possibly the of Prussian diplomacy.

This is disconcerting talk from the man for whose good will the Kaiser has for years assiduously angled. Nor is a fresh drop in the cup of Count Bernstorff's discomfiture. Signs grow that not only the public but Washington is getting restive at the continuous efforts

Their arguments, so far as I can gather, humans race, they do not wish to see the are as follows:-The Americans are German people suffering, but they may suffer unless they can get food and raw materials such as cotton, and they can only get them from the United States. Moreover, Americans will in turn suffer unless they export their grain and cotton to Germany, för,. in spite of all that has:: been said in the Anglophile Press, England is not in a position to take the accustomed amount of raw material, especially of cotton. There is also evidence that the Germans may try to arranga. for the import of much-needed oil under the American flag,
