war IN EUROPE
MAY BRING ON
PAPER Famine
Demand Increasing With
Prospect of Many Mills
Being Forced to Close.

st. Louis, March 233.-It is wei
known that the wa in Europe ha:
brought 2bout many unprecedented
condlt Chs and has revolutionize(
many former conditions in this
country, Many lines of business ar,
seriously affected. 1t is probably no
generally realized the alarming ex
tent TO which the paper industry is
a!fected in the United states and the
entire world.
The paper trade S now facing al
absolute famine and many mills will
be forced to shut down On account
Of being unable to obtain rags. pull
2nd chemicals. The largest mills in
the country are refusing TO make
prices except at such prices as they
name upon receipt of the order a;
their mills, same being subject to
thei! abil ty to make the paper at all
They will take no contracts nor
orders fer future delivery.
Many Of the largest manufacturers
III this country view the situation
with the greatest alarm and believe
we are going to see the most vicious
market ever known. and that we are
SONG to see some fireworks in the
paper market soon. They are not MAX
ng any contracts for future delivery
and are naming prices only subject
to their acceptance on receipt Of
Crde!s. and some mills are refusin 9
to fill contracts placed with them be-
sore the situation became so acute.
The mills advise they are unable to
secure supplies and materials on con-
tracts they have placed and even in
many cases where they receive quota
tons and IRE acceptance they are
often informed the stocks have all
been sold.
Every indication is that prices will
continue to advance rapidly and that
paper will get scarcer until an actual
famine exists and that many buyers
will be unable 10 secure their neces-
sary supp y.
The causes for this cond ton are:
First. Increased cost of all ma
teri2ls used in making paper.
Second. Decreased supply.
Other paper ingredients are simil-
a. ly effected by demand and supply.
EefCr9 the war, Germany supplied
large part Of the paper for the world,
except to the United States, and even
this country bought considerable
paper and lots of pulp Sweden and
Austria also sold us large amounts of
pulp, newspaper and wrapping-these
countries making paper and pulp from
Russ an wood.
Germany and Austria were shut out
at once, but general business was so

ROAD BUILDING ACTIVITIES.

Little Rock. March 23.-rhere are

 PUT ON EXHIBITION

other Villa officer, captured with Baca- Valles, is being brought overland to face a courtmartial.
 Baca-Valles, contrary to the usual fatalistic attitude of Mexicans. begged for his life. According to Americans who saw him killed the Villa chief crawled, supplicating, before his exc cutioners and was shot to death on his knees
 Baca- Valles. who was known as Vi1- la eXecutioner at Juarez, was marched through the dimly lighted railway sta- ton where many families spend their night. Executions had been so frequent at Juarez in the final days of the Villa regime, however, that little interest was shown.
 The proceedings were brief. The pris- oner said: T am not responsible for the acts of Villa. l beg to see your general"
 The officer commanding the firing squad said he had orders to kill, and he and a soldier stepped close to Baca- Valles and fired point blank into the prisoners heart. The body was then taken back to the railroad station where it lay uncovered until after dawn on the platform among the men, Wom- en and children lying about wrapped in blankets.
 Lieut.. Col. Enrique Cisneros, who was captured last week with Baca- Valles, is being marched overland with eight followers caught with him, and, according to Mexican officials, also Will be placed promptly before firing squad.

BRILLIANT SPEECH BY O'NEAL THRILLS
 CIVIC FEDERATION
(Continued from Page One)

clared the Alabamfan, I've must be able | to avenge 1t; if we would secure peace. we must at all times be ready for war. :" The address captivated a large and fashionable audience, and won many converts to the theory that peace is possible only through preparation for war Governor O'Neal prophesied as a matter of fact, an invasion of America l by those countries emerging from the European conflict successful, but anx- ious to repair their wasted fortunes. In this connection he said:
 Will not the nations that emerge successful from this titantic struggle look with eager and 1ustful eye upon the richest and most helpless of the nations of the world. With our banks bursting with one-third of the gold sup ply of the world, with our enomous in dustries and commerce and our cities teeming with wealth, will they be able to resist the temptation to indemnify their unparalleled losses at our ex- pense? Will they be deterred by any lsentiment of international righteousness or morality?"
 The address of ex-Governor O'Nea1 was in great part an attack against MT. Bryan. In assailing the argument of the Commoner that no nation will attack the United States, MT. O'Nea1 said "If his argument is sound, the
  the more immune we will be from att tack. Neither international law nor the existence of treaties saved Belgium from contest and spoiliation. Nor did China's weakness protect her against the arrogant and selfish demands of Japan. China's policy of nonresistance bore the bitter fruit of national humil iation and loss of independence, but MT. Bryan in concluding his attack against the President declared that not in 50 years has there been less excuse for strengthening the army and navy
 "On the contrary, never in 50 years has there been less excuse for the selfish and pusilanimous theories of the peace at any price advocates, never less ex- cuse for the criminal folly of unpre- paredness on the part of any nation which desires to escape the humilia- tion of conquest and spoiliation."
 The orator declared that congressman who opposed preparedness were moved to defense of the "sacred pork bar rel" He exclaimed in conclusion that the people of America demanded prepared ness to that extent that throughout fu- ture years they would be guaranteed the right to proceed in solving their prob lems and adjudicating their issues with out that mo1estation which is the in variable affliction of the humble or the conquered.
 oPPinuSO tSiCCtCN eVFo- cates of national preparedness at the today's session of the federation and at the close of the discussion, a resOlu tion was adopted unanimously favoring adequate preparation for defense and authorizing an investigation of meth ods by a special committee.
 Members of Congress, labor leaders and other public figures addressed the federation, most of them Joining in voicing the view that the time had come for the United States to strength en materially its naval and military forces no matter what might be the cost.
