A Shortage In Paper.

A commodity even so indirectly re.
lated to the demands of war as paper
| Is showing the prevailing tendencies
to such degree as seriously to EN-.
barrass publishers. The higher price
OF paper stock and the difficulty Of
obtaining 1t at all in England was a
cnier factor in the discontinuance in
March of the London daily Standard,
atter career of sixty years, for con-
siderable portion of which it was the
most important organ Of the middle
classes In England. In America the
demand for paper has been increasing
Tor SIX months as result of general
business activity. At the same time.
supplies used in it's manufacture have
Deen decreased by war conditions, and
IN some cases have almost been shut
Off. The supply of old rags is affected
Dy the cutting off of the importations
from the European peasantry and by
the demand for the making of guncot-
ton. The chemicals used in bleaching
the paper produced by sulphuric acid
and alum are being devoured by the
manufacturers of explosives, while i'm
portations of jute have fallen off until
the price is doubled. AN embargo has
been placed on shipments of wood
pulp from Norway and Sweden, while
Canada stopped access to her vast re-
sources some time ago. The newspa-
per publisher is, indeed, hard hit by
war conditions in many other items
of supplies besides the basic one of
paper stock. Practically everything
going into the manufacture of a daily
newspaper has increased in price from
10 to SO per cent-inks, owing to the
advance in the cost of acids and dyes,
from 800 to 5000 per cent; type, owing
to the higher cost of lead, tin and an
timony-even the rubber and felt
blankets wrapped around the press
rollers add their quota to the increased
"cost-of-living" of the metropolitan
daily.-From "The Progress Of the
World in the American Review of

]. S. Troops Ordered to Cross Border.

Washington, D. C.-Such marked
improvement in conditions along the
Mexican border has been reported by
General Funston that the War depart
ment is now considering drawing upon
some of the troops stationed in Texas
to strengthen the ever lengthening
lines of communication of the expedi-
tion seeking Villa. Many alarming
rumors have been disposed of, and the
border situation generally is said to be
quieter than heretofore, but the plan
is not to disturb the garrisons or patrol
in New Mexico or Arizona for the
present. A part of the Twenty-fourth
infantry, negroes, withdrawn from Del
Rio, Tex, at the request of the local
authorities after one of the soldiers
had been killed by ranger attempting
to arrest him, already has been or
dered into Mexico.

No Change in Butter Expected.

Tacoma-B is firm and dealers
do not look for decline for two weeks
yet. The market of the Pacific Coast
is reported to be unchanged. Receipts
of butter are none too large. Eggs
are arriving plentifully and the mar
ket is steady. Cheese is unchanged
and the demand is light.
The fish market is we'll supplied
with various kinds of fish with the ex-
ception of salmon. Since the season
opened on salmon fairly good catches
have been made by sportsmen on the
Narrows and on Puget Sound. The
fish, however, are not running in large
enough schools to warrant fishing boats
to go after them, according to dealers.

Precautions.

The Chinese have numerous tradi-
tions concerning their famous philoso-
pher Confucius. One day, they say,
he was meditating in the fields outside
the city of Tientsin when he saw
woman weeping bitterly beside a fresh
grave that she was tanning vigorously.
He was touched by her evident grief
and said:
20 sorrowful one, what is your
trouble?"
Your honorable excellency, my hus-
band is dead"
mo doubt you are to be pitied, for
he was doubtless good husband;
but why are you tanning his graye?"
Exalted one," replied the woman,
and her voice choked with sobs, my
husband bade me not to marry again
till his grave was dry"

New Potatoes Arrive.

Tacoma - New potatoes of the best
quality the local market has seen for
years, according to commission men,
rolled in Thursday for the first time
this season. The new tubers, which
are red, went out wholesale at 6A cents
pound in lug boxes and found an in
stant market. Regular shipments will
be received from now on and as re-
ceipts increase prices will decline, say
merchants.
Celery is about through for the sea-
son, it is reported. The vegetable is
quoted at $5.75 a crate. Radishes,
telephone peas, artichokes, asparagus
and lettuce arrived by steamer and
went out quickly. The demand for
green stuff increases daily.
Apples continue to sell good. Wine
saps are the most popular variety here,
wholesaling from $1.25 to $1.65 box.
Meats and poultry are firmer.

Tuesday engaged two army corps &C.,
600 men) in dense masses against the
French positions northwest of Verdun,
between Avocourt and Cumieres.
Forces numbering at least division
and half (about 80, 900 men) charged
the line between Avocourt and Bethin-
court. They approached within 100
yards of the French trenches, and
seemed insensible to the fact that
hundreds of their men were falling by
the way; but notwithstanding their
courage and the weight of their masses
they were stopped. There was a dead
line beyond which they could not pass.
When the attacking columns were
thinned out by artillery and machine
gun fire so that reformation became
necessary, the order to retire was
given.
Twice they were obliged to fill up
the gaps in their ranks, but none Of

Interned Ships May Sail.

London--Any proposals put forward
by neutral governments with the idea
of obtaining immunity from capture
for vessels owned in nations at war
with Great Britain and placed in serv-
ice by neutrals will receive careful
consideration from the British govern
ment. Lord Robert Cecil made this
statement in response to question in
the house of commons. He said the
government considered the question of
employment of vessels belonging to
hostile nations in neutral ports was
matter for neutral governments.
