IN ICE
TURN men INSANE

Halifax, N. s., May 1.-The fate of
the captain and crew of the British
steamship Suffolk, caught in the ice
in the White sea while on her way to
Archangel shortly before Christmas,
with details of suffering from cold,
hunger and exposure resulting in the
death Of all but three men Of crew
Of twenty-seven, and the suicide Of the
ships captain, who, maddened by
hunger and cold, shot himself, were
related here today by sailors of the
Newfoundland steamer Bellaventure,
just in from Archangel.
The crew OF the Bellaventure, which
has been in Russian waters for more
than year, met and talked with the
three survivors, only one of whom, a
Russian Finn, was physically able to
recount his adventures. The other
two men were not expected to recover.
The Suffolk, supposedly having a car
go Of war supplies, was caught in the
ice of the White sea with the first
heavy freeze before the holidays. Food
and fuel became exhausted. The suf-
fering caused many Of the men to lose
their minds and while in this state
they succumbed.
When only ten survivors remained
they decided to try to reach land on
foot. Taking the scanty provisions re-
naming they set forth on an eighty
mile trip across the Ice. A heavy
blizzard set In and the party soon be-
came scattered and lost. Only three
were able to stick together and after
days Of wandering they were found
by the crew OF q British ship and tax
en- to land.

BAKER SEES WILSON.

Secretary Baker took the dispatch
received this morning from Generals
Scott and Funston to the white house
and conferred with President Wilson.
Officials said the message asked for an
explanation of some of the points made

the Mexican railways would be placed
at Gen. Pershing's disposal to expe-

forces to be out of Mexico and there
was nothing in what he said to indicate
an unfriendly spirit. /,
Secretary Lansing said there had
been no change in the administration 8

PRINT PAPER IS
At PREMIUM AND
SUPPLY IS SHORT
OF UNITED STATES
AND CANADA FACE MOST
SERIOUS PROBLEM.

The newspapers of the United
States and Canada are confronted
with the most serious situation In
their history The supply Of paper IL
now a great deal less than the de-
mand. There is practically no reserve
stock and the papers are using more
white paper than Is manufactured.
This condition was made known ten
days ago at q conference between the
mill owners and a number Of the
newspaper publishers. This confer
ence was held for the purpose Of find-
ing out how many tons Of print paper
the newspapers were consuming each
day, and how many tons Of print pa
per the mills were producing. Pre-
vious to this meeting it was not def
nitely known what the consumption
and production of print paper amounts
to. The production of many Of tho
mills is growing less each year, be-
cause Of the diminishing of wood sup
ply for pulp, and some OF the print
paper mills being converted into max
ing other kinds of paper, especially
wall paper. The shortage is further
decreasing by the fact that foreign
countries like Sweden and Norway
are not now producing any pulp for
sale in this country. The mills In
those countries as well as in Canada
are hampered on account OF the war.
Last week men from Europe and
South America were in New York Of
fering fabulous prices for print paper.
While the price of course is soaring,
the newspaper publishers are up
against the fact that it is not really
a matter of price but is matter of
supply, or rather a lack Of supply I'm
der those conditions it means that the
institution with the money that will
enable it to pay q fabulous price will
pay 1t. That makes 1t that much hard
er on the business with the ordinary
income
Matrix paper that II used In stereo
tipping Is almost all made abroad A
great deal OF 1t is made in Germany
and Is therefore hard to get. Large
shipments Of 1t are now being held
at Rotterdam and other neutral ports.
Last week the American Newspaper
Publishers association in convention In
New York City, passed resolution
asking the president of the United
States to request England to allow
these shipments Of matrix paper to
be loaded and sent to this country.
This is the most serious matter that
the publishers have been confronted
with and the papers that are selling
for penny a day and SO year by
mail are likely to be forced to raise
their price.

LESSONS LEARNED
IN MEXICO PROVE
OF GREAT VALUE
TROOPS IN ACTUAL SERVICE DEM
oNsTRATE THAT NEW EQUIP
MENT Is NEEDED.

Field headquarters, April 25.-By
courier to Columbus, N. M, May l.
Many practical improvements in de-
tails of campaigning and OF service
{, equipment have been worked out or
suggested, in the five weeks chase OF
Villa and his bandits.
More varied wireless equipment Is
one change.
The art Of cooking in the field made
advances which demonstrated the ad-
visibility of the addition Of some sort
of frying pan to the mess kits OF
the men. The men have been thrown
upon their own resources for cooking
so often that probably every man
who went to the front could now quail.
ify for an assistant chef. Lacking fry.
ing pans, they used their mess pans,
which have long handle, an adjust
ment feature especially bad for nip
ping eggs because the pan usually
tipped too.
A pack mule kitchen is the most
important improvement suggested in
the cooking line. The mules can fol-
low the cavalry anywhere and get
there before dark, assuring the men
of meal properly cooked by compe'
tent chefs.
The cavalry has proved that 1t is
second to none in the history Of the
American army 1t has marched more
than fifty miles a day at times,
through mountains where the trails
were unknown, through canyons which
the natives declared horsemen could
not penetrate, without regular rations,
1;1,sVo
ground corn without salt.
The cavalry sabre has been useless
in this campaign. The cavalry rifle
has proved too long, suggesting re-
turn to the carbine which oscillates
less in the boot while packed on
horse.
The necessity for some ready sys-
tenn of hobbling horses so that they
could not stray while grazing on un-
fenced prairies was brought out
sharply. So also was the desirability
Of smaller horses, the low weight car
ryinga type about fifteen hands high,
instead OF the seventeen hand high
type Of cavalry animals which can do
great jumping and ring show work.
The hunter type Of animal, suitable
for park and hound riding, did not
prove as useful in this campaign as
the smaller native ponies Of the west
and southwest, which were able to
shift for themselves and live on grass
when corn, oats or hay was low.
The old iron ration" bacon, coffee
and hardtack with little sugar and
salt, stood every test of this campaign,
SO far, keeping the men in remarkably
good health.
The only dress reform indicated was
in shoes, for rough work in deserts
and mountains. Ordinary heavy
marching shoes wore out in few
days frequently, In some cases, even
IN one day of mountain climbing. The
footgear which seems to have held
up better than shoes and leggins is the
high laced boat with heavy hobnails.
The practicability Of automobile
trucks for carrying supplies through
mountains and over bad roads or
plains with no roads which was dem.
onstrated by the Mexican chase, was
one of the most important campaign
discoveries. Gen. Pershing himself
said that the trucks climbed like
mountain goats"

Miss Buchanan said today that her
loss will easily reach $4,000 with but
little insurance. The house is q wreck
and the contents with the exception OF
clothes and few effects in the living

attributes the saving Of anything due
to having the French doors Of the liv

otherwise unharmed.
The fire department responded with
both central and south side trucks, but
the water available on the place Is q
