DISCUSS PAPER SHORTAGE
Newspaper Publishers. In Sesxion mt
New York, Tnkc steps to
Relieve Situation,
Mrs. IDA SNIFFEN KOt;E:

NEW YORK. April 26.-The shortage
OF white print paper and means for
meeting the unprecedented situation
were discussed to-day by newspaper
publishers from all parts of the United
States IN ATTENDANCE al the annual con-
vcntion OF the National Newspaper Pub
fishers Association. Because the do
nand for white paper is expected to
he greatest. as usual. during the mex,
thirty days. the publishers were urged
20 employ every method OF saving, even
To tho cutting down OF margins.
Reasons for the shortage Of white
paper We're outlined In q report by
Lincoln Is. Palmer, manager Of the as
ISOLATION. He pointed out that the de-
mahd for print paper began TO increase
In me spring with the increase Of cir
culaton and the greater demand for
advertising space. In addition. the Flu
ropean War had diverted from England
and Scandinavia many South American
publishers who were now seeking pa
per IN the American market. Further
more, the manufacture of higher grades
OF paper also had drawn heavily on the
supply OF materials for lower grades.

SOBER DISCUSSION


SOBER DISCUSSION
Is STILL POSSIBLE
III II should ut the same time be
made possible to hinder a war between
Germany and America, this would
seem To us great gain. We do act
share the conception that Americas
hostility would truly he divinely good
fortune for us"
Mr.. Wolff asserts that the American
yellow press" and certain German
newspapers and politicians have dis
turbed the relations between the two
countries. but that Washington must
realize that sober discussion still il
possible In Germany
whether discussion Will achieve
tangible results cannot be foreseen,"
he adds. The hope that remains can
not conceal the seriousness Of the
situation. 4 breach OF German-Ameri-
can relations wouli be greeted by the
advocates Of an unrestralned use OF the
torpedo with a real relief In Eng
land and other hostile states, pre-
sumably. II would arouse similar
feeling"
Mr.. Woln recapitulates tho history
OF the first days Of the war. when secret
diplomacy dictated the course Of
events. and points out that now, how
ever, the situation is different, there
is no reason for being rushed into any
decision. and every one has his part
to bear in the responsibility. MT.
Woln declares that Americas entrance
into the war would lengthen IL.
The Tagliche Rundschau. which is
alone in feeling there is no chance of
an understanding, says:
She prospects for an understanding
are most scanty. President Wilson has
decided upon a final blow against Ger
many. and can hardly be hindered from
delivering It, We must reconcile our
selves to this fact"
