FOUR ACRES OF TIMBER
USED FOR STAR PAPER
That Amount of Spruce Necessary
for One Issue-0ther Woods
Being Tried.

The spruce timber that grew ON about
four acres of forest land was required to
furnish the wood pulp paper on which

which this paper is only a single copy.
was printed. The Sunday stars average
edition. many times the size of the even
ing edition and Of which approximately
the same number of copies are printed.
requires the spruce wood from sixteen to
twenty acres of forest from which to
make the pulp paper-the white news
print paper-on which it is printed
Practically every newspaper published
in the United States is printed on wood
pulp paper. y large proportion of these
newspapers have daily and Sunday edi-
tions every dly in the year. while many
of the papers print several editions The
'nroadS on the available supply of spruce
timber nccessitated in order to furnish
this enormous supply of wood pulp have
grown to such proportions as to make it
necessary to find other woods besides
spruce to eke out the rapidly dwindiing
quantities of that timber in the manu-
facture Of wood pulp.
Forest Service Experimenting
For some time the forest service, a. its
experimental laboratory at WauSau, Wis,
has conducted experiments i'll the manu-
facfure OF wood pulp from other wood
besides spruce Western tirs of several
varieties have been tired, the wood be-
ing ground and made into mechanical
pulp. which is mixed in definite propor-
tons with sulphite, or chemical pulp, to
make the ord nary white print paper.
The mixture of pulpS is for the purpose
of increasing the strength of the paper
as the ground pulp, having longer tibers,
IS stronger than the chemically prepared
pulp.
Rolls OF print paper made from these
substitutes for spruce have been shipped
to the office of q New York newspaper,
and recent issue of that paper was
printed entirely on the paper made from
these frs. and other woods being tried
as substitutes for spruce. The paper, it
is stated, works we'll. has ii good sur
face possesses approximately the same
tensile strength paper made from
spruce pulp, and in every respect is equal
to the paper now in general use. II is
believed these experiments of the forest
service will result in preventing further
advances in the price of newspaper print
paper, and at the same time aid in the
practical conservation of the remaining
spruce forests, the area Of which is
rapidly dwndiipg.
The ilrs used iii the experimental paper
making grow over practically the entire
Pacific slope, as well as in the noun
tain regions of the northwest. 1t is
stated the forests producing these frs,
which are not espe ecially valuable for any
purpose other than the manufacture of
pulp. arc practically inexhaustible, provid-
I'd they are cut over according to the
rules of the forest service, and experts
believe that with slight notifications of
n the pulp mills, the new woods Will
furnish material for the manufacture of
news print paper in almost unlimited
quantities for many years to come.

IRIsHMEN ARE FIGHTING
Brigade From Emerald Isle Not
Backward In Offering Its Services

Dublin, Nov. 9-John Redmond's re-
! quest for the official recognition OF an
Irish Brigade has been met. The
Nationalist leader shortly before the
! propagation of Parliment declared
that his country had right to claim
that Irish recruits for the Expedition
airy Force should be kept together as
unit, differed far as possible by
Irishmen and composed if possible
of country battalions $50 that Ireland
may gain national credit for their
deeds and feel like other communities
Of the Empire, that she, too, has con-
tributed an army bearing her name in
this historic struggle"
Since that manifesto was publish
ed recruiting in Ireland north and
south has been active, and now the
Irish brigade, as outlined by Mr.. Red
mond, is being formed. 1t will con-
sist of the 10th division of the New
Army composed OF twelve purely lrish
battalions with headquarters at NAL
low, county Cork. Most of its Off
GERS, including the commander, will
be Irishmen, and Mr.. Redmond has
agreed to retain the division as the
Irish brigade.
Lieutenant General Sir Lawrence
Worthing Parsons, a former "gunner"
and a Kings county man, has been
appointed to the command. Sir Law
renee formerly held an Irish COM
mand, while he did good service in
South. Africa, being present at the re-
lief Of Ladysmith. Since then he has
been inspector general Of artillery in
