EMBARGO ON
PAPER URGED
Bill Introduced Would Forbid
Expectation of Rare
Product.

President Wilson wiz be authorized TO
place an embargo on the shipment of
print paper if Congress acts favorably
upon a resolution introduced yesterday
by Representative Hastings, of Oklahoma.
The Federal Trade Commission is at
present making an exhaustive investiga-
ton into the cost and the tremendous rise
in price Of print paper and the products
that enter into its manufacture, and the
resolution would make the embargo eff
fective at once and have it remain in
operation until the report Of the commits
sion has been filed with the Senate
In the past six months the price Of
print paper has doubled. Newspapers
in all parts of the country have
been compelled to cut down the size OF
their Sunday editions. and others have
Increased the price of the daily edition
from cent to cents. Other publications
have been forced to print on natural
run or cheap grade paper instead of the
bleached product they have used for
years.
The Federal Trade Commission has re-
quested statistics from newspaper pub
fishers and printers in all sections of the
country. and have held hearings to deter
mine whether the increased cost of the
products that enter into the manufac-
ture of paper justifes the increase.
Extra large shipments to Europe are
believed to enter into the increased cost.
The resolution introduced yesterday
would prevent the shipment of print
paper to foreign countries and would have
the entire production of the American
paper mills available for American use
The resolution went to the Committee
on Foreign Affairs of the House.
An attempt will be made to have some
action taken on the matter at the pres
ent session if the resolution is not re-
ported within ten days.

Are the District troops being held IN
the East for use as strike guards7" is
the question asked at Camp Ordway.

yesterday that no more troops will be
sent to the border pending the settle
ment OF the railroad trouble has made
the officers and men spprehensive OF

duty. Many of the officers and men hold
union cards, and many are In sympathy
with the strikers.

camp that the District Militia had the
largest effective force OF men IN the East.

vania troops are on the border. and
those left behind are either not mustered
in or not equipped or UP 10 minimum
strength There are only a few regular
troops in the East.
All the troops at Camp Ordway, more
than LOO. are nearly completely equipped
and have had the benefit Of more than
seven weeks OF drilling and discipline.
The War Department order Of yester-
day had depressing effect on the camp
The troops were working hard to pack
up for Saturday. and were all ready for
the move.
Some officers think there is a bare pos
sibility that the troops may move soon
Capt Horace Hobbs. L. s. A. mastering
officer. said yesterday that he had neither
received the orders OF the War Depart
ment yesterday holding the troops. nor
the previous orders waving minimum
strength.
As soon as the inspection OF condemned
property is completed. probably today.
Capt. Hobbs will report the District
troops to Mai. Gen. Leonard Wood a,
ready to move. In face OF the orders Of
yesterday Gen. Wood is not likely to or
der the District troops to move, but he
may.

Britain Rapidly Becoming In
dependent of American Mu-
nitions, Says Minister.
CBy the International New. Service.

(By the International News Seryice.)
London. Aug. 15.-Great Britain is rap
idly becoming Independent of American
munitions supplies. according to a state
ment made today in the house Of COM
mons by Hon. Edward Samuel Montagu
Minister of Munitions.
THE American supply of heavy shells
has been invaluable to u.s." said Mr.
Montagu. but with the Increasing home
and Canadian supplies. we hope to be
able to do without American shells al
together"
England, he pointed out, not only is
producing munitions at a tremendous
rate-he quoted figures on the increase
in production-but is now also supplying
its allies with the constituents Of high
explosives as we'll as machine tools and
other material entering into the manu-
facture of shells.
No less than 225O, 900 persons were en-
gagged in the manufacture of munitions
in England in June, the minister declared
and this number has been still further
y
900 were women. he said. He added that
5000 soldiers had been released from the
army to aid in producing shells The
vast total compared with 1,635, 900 per-
sons engaged in munitions work before
the establishment of the ministry in
which Mr.. Montagu heads.
THE government is producing 10 times
greater number of 1S-pounder shells
than before the war" he said The rate
OF production of these shells in JULY.
greater than the total output in a year
before hostilities.
THE production of shells for heavy
howitzers is twenty-seven times greater.
The percentage for medium ammunition
is thirty-four times greater.
1.-THE greatest increase, however, is that
in heavy shells. This is ninety-four times
greater than before the war We are
now producing in four days as much
heavy howitzer ammunition as the total
then, and are manufacturing each week
as much ammunition as the entire stock
before the war.
THE monthly production OF heavy guns
is twice as many as were in existence
when the ministry of munitions was es-
tablished. The present rate, moreover.
soon will be nearly doubled.
THE quantity Of all productions is con-
stantly being improved" added Mr.. Mon
tagu, but against such an eneny os
Germany we can never stand still"
