CINCINNATI ENQUIRER
!. Is YELLOW NOW
Statement Issued to Satisfy the Curl.
osity Of Many Readers Tells Why.

Cincinnati, o. (Specia). last
the Enquirer has become yellow
journal! Even the publishers of the
paper admit as much themselves. and
here is the reason, right from the En-
Quirer Office.
So many of the Enquirer readers
have made inquiries about the yellow
tint in the paper now being used that
it seems necessary to satisfy their
rightful curiosity.
The yellow tint is the natural color
of the paper. 1t has been customary
to remove this tint by an aniline dye,
making the paper blue white.
"The dye was imported from Ger
many, and the supply in the paper
mills has become practically exhaust
ed. No satisfactory substitute having
been found here it has become neces.
sary for newspapers Using huge guam,
titles of paper to print upon paper of
the natural color
Among the other large American
newspapers now Obliged to use paper
not. artifcially whitened are the Chi
cago Tribune, the New York Times
New York World. the Boston Globe
and the Western Newspaper Union
All other newspapers will be obliged
| to print on the same natural color
when their present supply is ex
hausted."
The Commercial Tribune is one o!
the latest additions to the list of the
Cincinnati yellow papers" It is ex
pected that the other papers, one by
one, will join the list as time goes
on and the aniline dyes disappear.

the City of Springfield.

Springfield, C.--Inquiries are being
made regarding another will supposed
to have been left by John w. Book
walter, millionaire manufacturer, trav-
eler and philanthropist, who died sev-
eral months ago in Italy, leaving an
estate estimated at from six to ten
million dollars. From reliable source
it is learned that those who are re-
ported to be conducting the inquiries
say that Mr.. Bookwalter made will
during his last visit to this city, in
1911, while the one probated was
dated 1903 The alleged later will is
said to make disposition of Mr.. Book
walters famous art collection, which
is now on exhibition in the Cincinnati
Art Museum, besides other bequests
not provided in the original will. The
Twill of 1911 gives the art collection
to Springfield and provision is made in
it, so the story goes, for the erection
of a specially constructed building, tc
cost 100000, including the site, fol
housing it.

TRADE WAR GERTAP
United States Should Begin Pre-
arations for 1t.
Tendency in Europe Has Long z,
Toward Greater Protection for Ma
tionai industries-commerciai
Treaties Hamper America.

Tariff revision will be world-wi6d
following the close of the Europeas
war. If it had not been for the greas
European clash. Germany today wouif
be revising her tariffs.
1t would be far better for the Unit
States were the commercial treaties
this country limited by term 81
years. The present commercial treatiet
of the United States are not mereE
useless commercially, but are an ac
tual hindrance to the development ot
American trade. 1t was because 8
these treaties that the differentis
tariff rate designed to build up
American merchant marine had to q
main imperative in the present tarit
law.
Other governments will be able to
mobilize their resources and put into
effect the kind of tariff most certain
~ designed to build up their indus
tries. In Europe the commercial pre-
paredness of the nations now at war
must be undertaken after the armies
have returned from the field. But in
Europe the nations have forms or gov
ernment that lend themselves to de:
cisiye and radical development plans.
1t has been noticeable that the tend,
ency in tariff revision in both France
and Germany was toward greater pro-
lection for national industries.
Neither of thcse countries has ever
had any temporary reversion to free
trade or so-called tariffs for revenT
only. After the war the tendency Il
ward greater protection viii be strong
er than ever. Even Great Britain, with
her need for foodstuffs, is swinging
strongly toward protection, and econ
omists predict that the outcome of the
present European struggle will be the
conversion of England to protection.
Americas opportunity for preparing
for the trade war is at hand. Delay
will not increase the advantages oi
the United States. It is conceivable
that this nation by waiting until Eu
rope launches her tariff preparedness
program will lose the golden oppor
tunity of making permanent the pres
ent national prosperity.
