For close on six years new clothing ■
has been an unknown cuiuiuiMlhy lit
the market places of Itouiuanla. What
clothing did reach the country came
from American lied Cross warehouses
and was distributed among the need

and children wliu went barebacked
during the winter months, with no I
warm walls wherein to take refuge ■
from the eohl. »ith no fuel, mid no '
heat producing food to put in their '
stomachs.
In the villages, tile average pens- ,
ant's garb looks more like a picture |

hard tn determine where the patches j
end and the clothes begin
Burlap |
sacking lias largely taken the place ot i
the pre-war homespuns. People lune |
resorted to makeshift garments In
endless variety and color.

All the
colors of the rainbow are there, from
the shrieking crimson that the peasant
affects to tlie dlasleat greens mid yel

the carnival flush, anil the eyes are
war-tired.
To match cloth with the men's and

Tokio, Aug 7.
Tip-
trade
be
tween this country and the United
States Is gradually becoming dull,
due to the financial
panic
which
makes cargo
movement»
inactive
Japanese ships plying between Jap
anese and American ports are carry
ing very limited cargoes on both in
ward and outward trips, especially
on the former.
On the outward trips, the situation
has improved slightly, owing to the
Increase in the exportation of mlscel-
laneoitH goods
The dull shipments
on the homeward voyage Is mainly
due to the cancellation
of ordors
previously contracted for by Jap
anese importers who had to resort,
to cancellation because of the finan
cial depression and the tight money
situation.
