Census Reports Show How Nation Has Emancipated Itself From German Imports. Washington, May 1. —The extent to which the United States has emancipated itself from the need of German dyestuffs is shown by the -ensus bureau. In 1913 Germany furnished the United States 86 per cent of artificial dyestuffs and since March, 1915, not an ounce has been received from that country. In 1913 the annual output of coal l“br products in the United States was, Benzol, 9,600 tons; toluol 3,200 tons; and phenol 10,000 tons. This year the estimated output is about ten times as large.
