ALL CONCERNED
SEEK To SOLVE
PAPER PROBLEM
Publishers Meet With Federal
Trade Commissioners in e.
fort to Work Out Plan for
Distribution of News Print

Washington, Dec 16.--Newspaper
/ publishers, news print manufacturers
and paper jobbers met here today
with the federal trade commission to
work out plan of equitable distribu-
ton of the American and Canadian
: news print supply and if possible, to
arrive at an agreement concerning
prices and an increase in production.
The meeting was called by the trade
commission at the suggestion of man
ufacturers
The trade commission is in position
already to fix responsibility for the
shortage. said Commissioner Davis, in
announcing that the news print in
Vestigation would continue whatever
arrangement is reached at the present
conference to relieve the situation
This declaration was called forth by
requests presented by representatives
of both the larger and smaller pub
fishers asking that the conference set
tie questions of price and production
as well as of distribution.
The statement of the larger publish
ers declares the opinion of paper con-
sumers generally to be that there
exists some manner of control by
manufacturers of paper prices and
distribution.
Many publishers, said the state
ment, feel that the publicity of COM
plants on their point will jeopardize
their supply of paper and it is earnest
ly desired that the investigation to fix
the responsibility for this condition be
fastened We fail to understand in
what manner normal economic forces
have been the sole cause of bringing
about the present apparent shortage
and we feel constrained to ask the
federal trade commission to induce
news print manufacturers to confine
their efforts to supplying the legiti-
mate needs of newspaper publishers
their normal consumers-rather
than to diverting abnormal tonnage
into temporary channels
Smaller publishers asked the COM
mission to fix a flat price for news
print in addition to planning equitable
distribution. They desired the COM
mission to prevent discrimination in
prices except when covered by diff
ference in freight hauls. Paper under
this plan would be distributed to be
sold for season delivery. basis for
determining apportionment would be
the amount of paper used by each
paper in 1915.
The 1915 basis proposal is aimed
at the larger publishers who, the
smaller publishers say, will benefit in
any distribution plan because they
have increased the size of their papers
and demand supplies on that basis,
Jobbers denied any responsibility
for consideration and declared pub
fishers were panic stricken They said
there was no shortage as reported,
that iobbers were not making any
greater profit than in the last fifteen
years and they were willing to coop
crate. in any way possible.

GARRISON TELLS
LAWYERS WHAT
NAT|ONALIS|N IS
Former Secretary of War De-
CIareS Failure to Make
Preparation for Defense Is
Little Short of Treason,

New York, Dec 16.-To question
the power and imperative necessity of
the national government to make
preparation for defense lis little short
of treason" it was declared here to-
day by former Secretary of War Lind
ley M. Garrison, in an address on ma
tionalism,' before the Lawyers club.
After reviewing the passing of many
powers and duties from the state gov
ernments to the national government,
he said that, in the matter of pre-.
paredness the central government
'flinched and faltered and sought to
pass its neglected duty to the states"
the result being a "lamentable fail
ure."
What NatiOnalism Means.
From the viewpoint of the national
entity" Mr. Garrison said, national
ism is the possession of, and the ex-
ercise by the national government of
every power and function necessary to
perform properly the collective duties
and fulfill completely the collective
obligations of the nation. From the
viewpoints of the citizens, nationalism
is the yielding, not in theory, but in
practice, Of his mind, his heart and
his spirit to the welfare of the ma
ton, the contribution of his material
means and his physical force to its
preservation and defense. 1t means
service and sacrifice, devotion and
loyalty"
one of the most dangerous senti-
ments threatening the integrity Of
the nation, he said is that which
utilities the natural and universal abb
florence of war as a reason for not
preparing for its possibilities
Duty of Self-defcnse.
"Self-defense is the cardinal duty
of nation" he said. "The national
government is the only agency that
can make proper preparation. To
deny its power or to question the inn
perative necessity of its exciting that
power Is little short of treason.
This is a duty which the national
government has neglected. In this
particular, the modern tendency has
been reversed. The national govern,
ment flinched and faltered and sought
TO pass its neglected duty to the states,
The result was. and was bound to be,
q lamentable failure"
Opposes Foreign Alliance.
Mr. Garrison went on to speak for
the avoidance by the United States of
European Arrangements, say ing that
any proposition which requires this
country to enter an alliance with tho
other nations of the world land to en-
gage to join with those who side with |
the belligerent found to be righteous
against the belligerent found to be |
wrongful, should be tested in the fiery
furnace of fierce debate and discussed !
before it should be acted upon"
If the United States, he said, en- !
gagged as has been suggested. in an .
universal alliance, she is perforce a .
party to every quarrel the wide world .
over No acceptable reason occurs to (
me which warrants or justifies the
United States in becoming by its own
voluntary act a party to all the quar-
rels of all the nations of the earth

ing investment besides furnishing great benefit to the employees, who number 15,000. Secretary Hugh J. Reddy has conferred several times with Manager P. E. Mack of the Rem ington athletic association and an an- sWer will be given Thursday.
 The Bridgeport club has received an application from Eddie Phelps, former Pittstield catcher, who wants to act as manager. Phelps says he can do active work behind the bat, and claims he has had sufficient eX- perience as minor league manager to qualify him as pilot. He formerly managed Albany. Several years ago he was with the Springfield club of the Eastern league.
 Phelps is highly regarded by Owner John Freeman and may land the posi- tion if the club is not sold this week. Local fans are strongly in favor of Phelps. He started his career with Danbury, in 1898, when the old Con- necticut league hourished. Jack Rose, who became widely known for his testimony in the Becker trial, was manager of the Danbury club which won the pennant. Phelps graduated to Pittsburgh and afterward played in Brooklyn and other places.

FrenChman's afternoon aperitif or ap- potizer. From four o'clock in the afternoon until eight, FloCa's is more densely populated than any spot in Saloniki. It is filled with officers ot the Allied armies-base officers camp officers, embarkation officers, staff off, ficers, flying officers, French. British, Serbian, Greel-such a varied collec- tion of officers of every rank and corps that Flocas might be the animated fashion book of a military tailor of international clientele.
 But Floca's would hardly be a, suc- cess in fashionable London. It's in- terior is gloomy and often foggy. It's entrance is beset by an importunate horde of ragged urchins. It's Greek walters, of sinister aspect, only con- descend to serve when their atten- tion is attracted by a series of sharp hand-claps. But in Saloniki men count themselves lucky to find a table free. and for those who have lived for months on a barren mountain side 1t is shadowy and distant reproduce ton of the institutions of home.

 The campaign will culminate in Flag (Tag) Day" on Saturday, April Sth, King AIberts birthday.

SALONIKI CAFE MADE

Soldiers of Allied Armies Meet Over the Flowing Bowl at

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
 Saloniki, March 29.-( British Ofli- cial Eye Witness) )--Floca's has be- come the social focus of the Entente armies in the Balkans. some such rendeVOuz comes to be associated with almost every expeditionary war The bar of Shepheards s Hotel in Cairo was the place through which everyone passed sooner or later in the time of the Sudan campaigns; the Rand Club at Johannesburg fulfilled similar function in South Africa. Here the same unexpected greatness has been thrust upon Floca's so that it's name will always remain in the memory or those told off to spend this tedious winter at Saloniki.
 Floca's in peace times was just q commonplace cafe, with no more than the modest distinction of being the best of such esta blshments in Salon iki. Here on an ordinary weekday were to be found a sprinltling of Lev antine gentlemen drinking Turkish coffee while they discussed with fluent gesture the latest political rumors from Athens.
