REGULATIONS FOR
THE WAR REPORTERS

Secretary Baker has adopted rules
and regulations concerning cores
pondents in the field. Each CORES
pondent In order to obtain permission
to go with the army must deposit a
certified check of 81 900, 70 be drawn
against for equipment and mainten-
ance. The newspaper to which the
correspondent is accredited must give
a bond for 5000 for his good conduct in
the field, which, in the event of in
fraction of any of the rules, shall be
forfeited to any charity that the Sec
rotary of war may name.
The correspondent must further
take an oath of loyalty of the usual
military form and agree to abide in
letter and spirit by all the regulations
laid down for his guidance. If at any
time the number of correspondents be-
come so large as to be an incumbrance
the secretary of war will refuse other
passes until such time as he deems
expendient, when other applications
who fulfill the conditions will be re-
ceived in the order of their applica-
tons. Not more than one correspond
ent will be received from any one
publication or syndicate of publica-
tons or press association with the
same field army. Men who have evil

view to adventure rather than serious

is the report that straw comes fourth

common ordinary grass, cornstalks
and almost any other material with a
fiber may be used for papermaking.
And 1t is not entirely out of the range
of possibilities, considering the fact
that it was not so long ago that wood
pulp came first to be used for paper
making, that at some future date most
of our paper may be made from corn
stalks, hay, grass and such materials "

AVERT A STRIKE.
returned.

President Wilson may move in every
effort to avert a general strike on the
American railroads with conscious
ness that he has the we'll wishes of the
public. His masterful hand has guild
ed the affairs of the nation through
almost four years of stormy political
and world life, and on this occasion
high hopes are held for his success "at
home"
The Times Recorder doesn't pretend
to know the fundamental motives on
either side of the controversy as be-
tween the brotherhoods and the rail-
roads. That is family affair, so to
speak, although vitality affecting the
American public.
Middle Georgia along the line of the
Georgia Railroad has passed through
two strikes, and that section knows
what it means to go without food, mail
and the ordinary conveniences of life.
A railroad strike is death to the people
whom it affects-and the pending
crisis affects every fireside in the
United States.
The turn to congressional action
should be last resort. The recourse
to President Wilson should have been
avoided. Employer and employee
should have chord of harmony
whereby these questions should be
brought to a head among themselves.
Somewhere deep in the recesses OF
all the masses of figures and argu-
ments are the true strains of honesty
and right They are the circumstances
and facts which the American people
want brought out-brought to the sur
face. and put into action.
The opening wedge of government
ownership should quake with horror
for the railroad and employee alike
They lose, and lose immensely by such
turn in the affairs.
1t is said that the railroads woulC
place their trains in the barns ant
sheds and not attempt to run them il
the event of a strike Their charter
are at stake given by the government
And when the strike comes-if it does
mark truly-there will be an unres

NEW MATERIAL FOR PAPER.

To use an old time-worn phrase
the newspapers have caught it in the
neck since the beginning Of the Euro
pean war. In some instances success
has attended these enterprises, in the
increase of subscriptions and the sale
of papers on the street. but this profit
has been wiped out by the increased
cost of material. The price of blank
paper has reached such amazingly
high prices that the average newspa-
per hardly knows which way to turn
or plan for the future. Whether there
is an actual shortage in paper stock or
wood pulp from which paper is made
is matter on conjecture on the part
OF many. The government because of
this shortage has already begun an
investigation into the conditions as
they exist with the hope that some re-
lief may be found. But no matter what
may be the result of this investigation
the fact remains that additional mater
ial for making paper must be found
The Philadelphia Press writing along
this line says
Publishers of magazines and news
papers who were fortunate enough to-
have stocked up with paper patted
their backs, figuratively speaking, but
held on to their paper like dear life.
Many contracts for paper had to be
Cancelled, and some merry bidding took
place among those who went out on
the open market to buy what little pa
per there was for sale.
Zone of the chief reasons for this
scarcity was the use of rags and old
paper by the warning nations for wad-
ding in cannon and shells and for
packing purposes. Europe has been
sending us great quantities of old
clothes and waste paper, which were
chopped up and macerated boiled and
converted into the cheaper grades of
paper This supply almost entirely
disappeared with the commencement
o. the war. Europe needed her rags
and her waste paper for fighting pur-
poses.
Although this deficiency may not
wholly be responsible for the present
, paper scarcity in the United States
: and for increasing dependence on
wood pulp as a chief material for pa
per-making, it has had a great deal to
do with the situation. Wood pulp
especially from spruce, poplar and
hemlock trees, is more and more be-
coming the basis of our paper indus
try. Where there are forests there are
almost sure to be paper mills. New
York state, for the most part heavily
fcrested, leads, with 152 paper mills
according to report of the census bu.
reau, while Massachusetts,. also heav-
lily forested, is second, with Sc follow.

GETTING CLOSER
American Export Concerns Endeavor-

Relations.

Stockholm, Sweden, Oct. 28.-(Cor
Associated Press. )-Notwithstandine
the many obstacles with which they
meet, representatives of American ex'
porting concerns here are endeavor'
ing to maintain trade relations be-
tween the United States and Sweder
so as to be in position to take advan'
tage of the permanent opportunities
expected with the conclusion Of Eu'
ropean peace.
Prior to the war America played an
almost negligible part in the trade OF
Sweden, export and import alike. Dur
ing the fiscal year ended June 30,
1915, imports from the United States,
however, took . leap which carried
them up more than 600 per cent. above
the normal. Then came the tighten
ing Of the British blockade and the
Swedish war trade act which prohibits
an importer from giving guarantees to
Great Britain covering goods bought
in the, United States or other, neutral
s,Under these adverse in
auences the trade has rapidly declined,

three months of 1915 having amount
ed only to $12,2l3,590 against $41,-
943, 3ol in 1915. Although the figures
are not available here II is said the
trade Of more recent months has
shown a similar or even greater fall
ing off. The Swedish government has
adopted the policy of not announcing
export or import figures during the
and it is regarded as a misde-
meafor to ask for them. In Febru-
ary, 1915, the imports from the United
amounted to a little more than
100000 against more than $4,000
200 a year ago. In March the decline
was from eighteen millions in 1915 to
four millions in 1916.

imports during the fiscal
