PRICE OF PAPER GOING UP.
War Stops Shipment of Rags and 9th
err Pulp Material from Europe.

eF fulp MATERIAL ITOIU GuTOpSs
Some grades of paper have advanced
two cents pound since last Monday
and are likely to continue to rise.
Europe is not sending any rags now
as grist for American paper mills, and,
is this country never depended entire
ly on it's own pulp supply, the book
and the magazine makers are likely to
nave to pay more for their stock.
Since France and other European
countries, owing to the war, have
ceased sending rags to the United
States American manufacturers of
high grade paper have had to put up
heir prices, as they formerly depend
I'd on foreign markets not only for
pulp of various grades, but also for
hemicals. e,s
"'rhe coating or sizing Of paper is
composed largely of casein. 1t is real
" cheese, Formerly it was cheap and
lbundant A good deal of it used to
ONE from Denmark. Some was made
here. In days like these all the milk
s needed for making cheese in this
country, for the importation of those
selece cheeses from abroad has largely
allen off: Glue has its place in sur
'acing paper, and there are other con-
stituents as wen All white paper is
made to appear more so by using blue
lyes all Of which are Very high. Col
ors which were formerly only 40 or so
cents pound are sold for SIS and 500
! pound"
Manufacturers also say there has
leen great decreale in the importa-
lions of sulphites. Formerly there
we're 1000 to 1900 tons imported daily
Is compared with 375 tons day which
are now received.
The cheap grades Of brown papers
such as are used for wrapping meat
md groceries have also risen in price.
The increased cost of pulp has sent
Up prices Of paper boxes to two and
.hree times what they were before the
var in fancy grades.
The effect of the high paper prices
md the scarcity of paper itself is felt
by practically every industry these
lays. for even pencils with which to
write ON paper are getting more ex-
)ensive. Many Of them are finished
with special varnish, which contains
good deal of dye material, and as the
iyes go up, the manufacturers have
either to ask more money for their
pencils or sell them as unadorned
cedar.

Joseph Marcot, of Woodstock. used
gasoline in building a fire with the
usual disastrous results. Failing to
start fire with paper he went to get
kerosene, but by mistake got gaso-
inc bottle. He poured some into the
stove and at the resulting fash started
backward so quickly as to throw
gasoline on his clothing and across his
chest. He was badly burned about the
neck and face and his ears were nearly
cooked.

Rutland's new $4,000 motor fire
truck became stalled while on the way
to barn fire and had to be shoveled
out The deep snow and broken
chain were given as the cause of the
delay 1t was 20 minutes before it
could be started, and in the mean
time the horsedrawn hose wagon had
passed 1t and had the fire about out
before the truck arrived. The fall of
IS inches of snow was too much for
the latter.

Villa has been driven into trap by
the rapid advance of the American
troops, according to information re-
oeived today in wireless dispatches
from the front and in telegraphic dis
patches to General Gabriel Gavira,
Carranza commander at Juarez.
Everything seems now to depend on
the ability of the Carranza garrisons
to hold their end of the net. On three
sides the bandit chief is hemmed In
by strong CarranZa columns, while on
the fourth. the Americans are driving
forward with amazing speed.
Villa was reported in the Babricora
lake region tonight on the ranch of
Mrs. Phoebe Hearst. which he has
ravaged several times in the past.
Babricora is about fifty-fve miles
south of Galeana, where one section
of the American eXpeditionary s+lorce
has arrived and Is pushing forward'at
the rate of thirty-three miles a day.
A few miles to the west of the ban
dts position is Namiquiqa, which is
held by a powerful Carranza garrison.

pany limited, an American concern
which has vasttlumber, mining and
railroad interests. On account of the,
Importance of this town an exception
ally heavy Carranza force is said to
hold it.
While Carranza leaders and United
States military authorities have Sue
ceeded so far in avoiding any friction
there is one serious question which
may arise at any time to threaten the
entire situation. AS the lines of
communication of the American force
lengthen. the problem Of bringing VI
supplies becomes increasingly more
pressins
To grant the United States permis
sion to use the Mexican railroads for
shipping supplies, it is thought here
may be misoonstrued by many Mexi
cans. On the lother hand h refusal
would scarcely harmonic with the
professed desire of the Carranza gov.
ernment to cooperate lin every way
with the American authorities. The
arrival of this crisis is being anxious
~ awaited on both sides of the border.

Germany Denies Responsibility for
Sinking of Liner.

Berlin, March 19.-By wireless to
Sayville.-No German submarine could
have been in the vicinity of the spot
where the Dutch liner Tubantia was
sunk, and no German mines had been
laid in this region, the German ad-
miralty announced The official state
ment issued under date of March IS,
says:
"The Dutch navy department has
stated that according to the sworn
declarations of the first and fourth Off
GERS and lookout men of the steamship
Tubanita, the course of torpedo was
clearly seen.
"a German submarine is out of the
question in connection with the sink
ing of the Tubantia as the place where
the accident took place is less than
thirty miles from the Dutch coast
which means that this place is within
the territory declared to be not danger
ous for shipping by the manifesto of
February 4, 1915. 1t is further stated
that no German mines were laid
there"
