Milwaukee, May 12.-John A. Davis,
general manager Of the General Paper
company. today gent out the following
letter to the trade:
"The General Paper company has
withdrawn from the field as a selling
agency. Ali mills heretofore manufac-

General Paper company will now supply
the trade direct and all untitled, or
partially untitled orders, placed with
the General Paper company prior to

Temporarily and until each mill can

It is not the intention of the paper
manufacturers, however, to remain in
the field as individual dealers in paper
product, according to a responsible
source of information. A reorganlza-

The proposed concern will doubtless be
an ownership.

Chicago, May lathe Chicago Trib-
une leads its editorial page today with
a criticism Of the charges against the
Salvation Army made by Edwin D.
Solenberger, manager Of the Associated
Charities of Minneapolis, at Philadel-
phia, and asks Its accuser to produce
proofs. The editorial Is, in part, as
follows:
So far as the Geographic account Of
his remarks goes, it does not appear
that he specified any particular fund
which was misused, but rather made
general accusation of obtaining
money under false pretenses. It is
hardly possible to reply to an accusa-
ton which is not more specific, but the
Salvation Army officers say that a
financial statement is issued every three
months, which may be consulted by
those interested. They say that they
welcome investigation, and that inspec-
officials Of Los Angeles and St. Louis
resulted in an expression Of satisfac-
ton with the methods Of the army. L
j Public with Army.
IF this statement Is true, the Min
neapolis manager Of Associated Char
tiles must be mistaken in his charge
that it is impossible to obtain informa-
ton about the receipts and expenditures
Of the Salvation Army. It may be an
issue OF veracity between the two au-
thorities or 1t may be simply a mis-
understanding.
Public confidence In the Salvation
Army is not likely to be shaken unless
some definite misdeed can be proven
against it. Those who have come in
contact at all with the army work
in the large cities are impressed by the
evident sincerity Of the soldiers. Prob
ably there are occasional errors Of judg-
ment in the expenditure Of the army's
| funds, even now and then dishonest
officer, as may be found in any church
or organization into which 1t is profit

| Devoted to Work.
In general the members Of the Sal,
walton Army are characterized by a de-
votion to the interests Of the founder
which has made the army one Of the
most valuable agencies for good in
modern city life.
It is true the methods Of the army
its theology or personal qualities Of
It's members, do not appeal to all PEG:
