PROPOSED POSTAL RATE
INCREASE IS PROTESTED
Would Force Suspension Of .Publica-
tions, Seventh-day Adventists
Inform House Committee.

That the proposed increase of postal
rates for magazines and newspapers
will force a suspension of publication
is the statement made to the rules COM
mittee of the House in a protest from
the North American Division Conference
of Seveuth-day Adventists The protest
originated with the Review and Herald
Publishing Association of Takoma
Park, Md, and letter accompanying
the protest carries the information that
the Adventists have other large pub
fishing interests in California and
Tennessee.
The protest states, in part:
Our attention has been called to the
post office appropriation bill for 1917,
which has been recommended by the
House post office committee, and which
contains rider intended to change
the present postage rate on periodical
publications of / cent per pound to a
zone rate. ranging from 1 cent a pound
to cents a pound
We are the publishers of eight peri
Odicals, having a present total list of
2OS,000 subscribers. The circulation of
these publications is sea ttered through
out the United States and Canada, and
we desire to enter our protest against
this proposed legislation for the fol-
lowing

High Living Cost Factor.

/. This proposed legislation would in
crease our postage bill approximately
three and one-half times it's present
amount. or $50 per cent increase, which,
without the opportunity of passing
this cost on to the subscribers by an
increase in the subscription price,
would make a heavy deficit on each
publication. Such a tremendous in
crease is too heavy a strain to bear
= Thousands of subScri berS are now
finding it exceedingly difficult, on ac-
count of the high cost of living, to sub
scribe for the periodicals they need.
and should the price be still further ad-
vanced many of them would be unable
to renew their subscriptions.
b The rise in the cost of paper dur
Ing the past few months. and the in
crease in costs of other materials and
labor has placed many periodicals in
very precarious condition. and fur
ther increase of expense such as con-
templated in the rider in question would
force a SUSPENSION of publications.

ADMIRAL SCHLEY'S CUTTER
TO BE AUCTONED OFF
(By United Press)

San Francisco, April 27.-After
bucking the ice in most Of the seven
seas for thirty-five years, the coast
guard cutter Thetis is cruising into
this port to go into the governmental
dischard today by public auction.
The European war saved the Thct;a
from the scrap heap. Steamship men
all over the United States await her
arrival here. They are to bid for her
when the government auctioneer an
hounces:
cone steamship, gentlemen
During her service the Thetis has not
been a liner and a lady. She started
out as a Dundee whaler-a work that
requires mainly what sailors cal
"guts."
The Thetis entered the navy ir
1888, when, commanded by then Cap
tain w. s. Schley, she went with tw,
other ships to rescue Lieutenant A
W. Greeley, afterward Major Genera
Greeley, from the Arctic ice She
served as a navy survey ship on one
/ trip carrying a load Of reindeer from
Siberia to Alaska.
The fact that she was condemned
by the navy a dozen years ago did nc
interfere with her efficiency.
Coast guard men say they woult
have been lucky two years ago to &c
$4,000 for her. Now, they say, they
expect her to bring $4,000. She !.
expected to pay for herself on he
first trip.
