nues of the most flourishing news

effect by the Philadelphia news
papers, the New York papers and
publishers in other American cities.
Philadelphia publishers further
decided that beginning Sept. l, 1916,
they would cut off the return OF all
unsold copies, country and city, so
that production will be reduced 10
