ANOTHER VIOLIN IS
TURNED UP IN STATE

ATLANTA, April 2S.-Another So
called Stradivarius violin has turned
up in Atlanta, and it doesn't belong to
d member of the orchestra of the Met
ropolitan Opera company, but is the
proud possession of no less a person
age than Deputy U. S. Marshal C. c.
Barber, who is engaged in the highly
adventurous, if not musical, occupa-
ticn of chasing moonshiners and run
ming the risk of getting his head shot
Oft any day he is in the mountains.
The violin is one recently bequeath-
ed to Barber by his father, to whom it
was presented fifty years ago by a
strolling tramp of a fiddler, who be-
came intoxicated in the Barber home,
with music and other things, and fell
into the fire with the Stradivarius
clutched in his outstretched hand. The
elder Barber snatched the violin out
Of the fire first and rescued the violin
player afterwards, and in his gratitude
for the saving of the instrument the
fiddler gave it to Barber as a present.
Inside the violin is cut the name of
Stradivarius in Latin, with the date Of
1742, and the hallmark of the famous
master violin maker.

NAVY MEN INTERESTED
N LIGHT CRUISERS NOW

TOXIC, April 2S.-Naval men are
especially interested in the two light
cruisers authorized by the last Diet
which will soon be laid down in Jap
anese ship yards. They think that the
war in Europe, and more particularly
the battle of Heligoland have demon
strated the superior qualities of this
type of light and speedy scout ship
which made it's strength felt in the
Successful engagement with the Ger
man squadron. The Japanese ships
will be constructed along the same
lines as the British cruiser Arethusa,
although the definite details are kept
secret. Special attention will be paid
to the construction of the two vessels,
which are scheduled to be launched in
1918. At the present time Japan pos
sesses no light cruisers of this class.

GERMANY REFUSES
Relief TO POLAND
Says England is at Fault and People
viii Get to Eat This
Fall.

WASHINGTON Aug. Germany
has refused to agree to England
terms for Polish relief. The answer
to England and to the circular note
of the state department of July Z,
expressing the hope for a relief agree
ment, was cabled from Berlin by Am
bassador Gerard and given out by the
state department today.
Germany places the blame for the
food scarcity in Poland on the
Russian army which Germany claims
destroyed or confiscated all the food
stuffs in its retreat.
The note said the German govern
ment had offered all the guarantees
regarding Polish relief which were
consistent with the requirements OF
war and that it Is England's fault
that American relief was required
several months ago as it was in north
ern France The British conditions
are characterized as ''unfcunded and
impracticable."
AS October was the date set for
the end of any relief agreement
made. the note said further negotia-
tons are devoid of purposes. How
ever. Germany claims that the COM
ing harvest, due to extensive cultiva-
ton. will furnish enough food for the
civil population of Poland and Juth-
iania. although some hardship will be
felt until the harvest

Of the facts behind the price boost.
For two months the commission
has had fifteen accountants at work
in the paper manufacturing plants of
the country, going over the books, to
determine if possible what has made
print paper suddenly more expensive
1t has already been determined that
the demand for paper has shown a
tremendous increase.
The hearing tomorrow will develop
the first report of the commission.
The completion. Of its investigation
together with its formal report Is
expected by October 1.
In the meantime hundreds Of edi-

have met the situation by increasing
the price of their street editions.
Not only will those publishers pres
ent be heard, but letters from many
who were unable to come will be read
and discussed.
For the most part, however, COM
munications from editors put it up
to the commission, with the hope that
1t will find some means of alleviat-
ing the new burden attached to news

good deal of damage has already been

The Paper Shortage.

Storm Lake Pilot-TrIbune: The
paper situation Is really a serious one
and readers of the newspapers need
not be surprised at any time to miss
issues of their favorite publications.
One Sunday morning recently both
the Omaha Bee and the Omaha
World-HeraId were without paper.
and but for the fact that the News
happened to have a surplus on hand.
they would have been compelled to
miss that day. AS it was, they omit
ted advertising pages. II the price
continues to soar as it does on all lines
of paper, printing must cost the
consumer more than 1t has in the
past.
