when we use the force Of this nation
we want to know what we are using
1t for.
There is as much tight in America
as in any nation in the world.
I'VE want always to hold the force
Of America to fight for the rights OF
mankind. not for the rights OF prop
erty. But in fighting for these things
we should know what the tombstone
is. We must have absolute allegiance
to America. We must be truly Ameri-
can. The rights Of humanity are the
essence Of freedom.
I'VE want all the world to know that
we are ready to use all our force to
maintain peace among mankind. The
starting of wars can never again be
the private concern OF any ono ma
ton. We must use all our foroe. moral
and physical, to uphold q league Of ma
tons. to uphold the peace OF this

The President declared there was no
use fighting over petty things. He
discussed the attitude Of George WASH
ington on entangling alliances. saying

NEWS PRINT PAPER
SITUATION SERIOUS
Many Manufacturers Absolutely I'm
able to Fulfill Contracts.

New York.-"The present situa-
ton in the news-print market is most
remarkable, and is probably more
unique than any situation which has
occurred within the remembrance of
any men now in the industry = the
Fourth Estate is informed by G. F..
Steele, manager of the News-Print
Manufacturers association.
1T seems as if we are actually
looking to-day at a famine in news
print paper.
There are many reputable news
papers, some of considerable size,
which are unable at this time to find
a manufacturer who will agree to con-
tract with them over the next twelve
months.
There are some manufacturers who
are absolutely unable to fulfill their
contract requirements and are telling
their customers to go out and buy the
paper for themselves, if they can, ex-
pecting to settle with their customers
later on.
unfortunately, these customers,
most of them, are put to it in most
desperate fashion, to obtain any sup
ply of paper at all.
With every mill on the North Amer
lean continent straining every nerve
to provide for the requirements Of it's
customers, and with surplus storage
stocks down far below danger point,
there seems to be only one answer to
the question as to what will happen
during the balance of the first six
months of this year.
L have from week to week empha-
sized the seriousness of the situation
to our members. In the first weekly
letter, which was sent out on Deem
Der 80, they were advised that at the
present time the outlook of the news
print industry is SO unfavOrable as to
excite some fear of shortage of news
print paper early in the year 1916,
which may be exceedingly embarras-
sing
'This embarrassing time has now
arrived for many of the news-print
manufacturers, and it is more than en-
barrassing for many of their custom
ers.
"Unless some method is devised
very shortly to appOrtion the scant
supplies of news-print paper ratably
among the users of the same, l am
very much afraid that some users of
news-print paper will have to print on
something else besides white paper or
stop publishing. Publishers AuXil-
larry.
