ALL NEWSPAPERS AND ENTIRE
PRINTING INDUSTRY MENACED
BY WORLDWIDE PAPER FAMINE

The paper famine has reached a
point where it is seriously menacing
the newspapers of the country and
the printing business as a whole. The
American Review of Reviews, COM
menting on the situation says:
"A commodity even so indirectly re-
lated to the demands of war as pa
per is showing the prevailing ten
dencies to such a degree as seriously
to embarrass publishers. The higher
price of paper stock and the diff

Represents "New Principal
in Warfare" Germans Say

Berlin, July 2S, via London, July
29.-The execution at Bruges on July
27 of Captain Charles Fryatt of the
British steamship Brussels, after trial
by court-martial for attempting to
ram a German submarine, denotes
new phase in the controversy over the
sea rights of merchantmen. The
German government prize regulations
issued before the beginning of the
war adopted the principle that mer-
chantmen were not entitled to COM
NIT acts of war and it threatened to
treat as pirates those attempting to
do so.

higher cost of lead, tin and antimony
even the rubber and felt blankets
wrapped around the press rollers add
their quota to the increased cost-of-
living of the daily"
No Hope or Relief
Through an important bulletin just
issued by a prominent concern which
manufacturers and distributes all
grades of paper it is learned that the
causes of the present famine and in
creasing cost of paper are such as to
indicate no change for the better in
the near future. This bulletin states
that a large proportion of bleached
and unbleached sulphite and ground
wood pulp used in the manufacture of
paper has come from Europe; that the
amount from the Central Empires
has been entirely stopped while the
pulp from Norway and Sweden has
been materially decreased. What is
now being received is costing double
its former value.
Dyes, chemicals and paper ma
chinery and every other article which
goes into the manufacture of paper
has increased anywhere from twice
to ten times the price paid a year ago,
Labor has increased twenty-five to
fifty per cent. 1t is not believed there
VIII be any change until after the
European war and then months will
elapse before prices can be readjusted.
The bulletin expresses the opinion that
the paper mills will never be able to
go back on the old schedules and for
that reason former prices will not
obtain.
AS showing one OF the causes of the
nigh cost of print paper, which is
seriously menacing the newspaper in
dustry, 1T is pointed out that the i'm
portation of sulphite which averaged
ABOUT $4,000 tons annually before the
war has dropped during the present
year from 2S,SS0 tons in January to
1882 tons in May
Prices Going Up
All over the country newspapers
are advancing prices. The NLilwau-
kee Free Press, morning newspaper.
yesterday announces an advance from
l TO cents in the price of the paper
Ior street sales. 1t attributes the ad-
vance to the greatly increased cost of
print paper The changed price will
be effective August 7.
