THE WHITE PAPER FAMINE

Immediately reduced to a point we'll
below production.
1.-THE only way to accomplish this
is for you and every publisher to
drasticaIIy economic by reducing
the number of pages printed.
Reductions, to be effective, must
be made Immediately. How much
will you reduce consumption?"
Another frantic telegram from the
same source was as follows:
publishers are facing a desperate
crisis for paper. To protect our
selves we are forming a fund for re-
tanning expert help in paper prices
and legal services. This matter con-
Germs you deeply whether you have
a contract or not. 1t is essential to
help now. Will you subscribe an
amount up to five cents per ton on
print paper used by you for a period
of three years, beginning Jan. I,
1916? Send answer to L. B. Palmer"
Another step taken by the A. N.
P. A. was an effort to induce the
union employees of the paper mills
to work on Sunday. The Internal
tionaI consented to operate during
two shifts on Sunday if the unions
would permit. After conferences
with officials of the International
Brotherhood of Paper Makers the
union men in many mills voted on
the matter and in II out Of Is mills
refused.
There was quite general response
to the demand that waste be elimi-
mated and abuses in that line that
were a matter of many years de-
VeIopment have been corrected. But
this helps only a little. The war in
creased extras and circulation, and
hence the consumption Of paper.
Prosperity increased advertising,
which meant more pages and great
er consumption of paper. And the

For months the white paper situa-
ton has been so desperate for news
papers that they have been publish
ing little bulletin paper of their own
for confidential circulation among
members of the American NeWspa-
per Publishers Association. And i
think the newspapers are making a
mistake in keeping this information
confidential. 1t would be better to
take the public into their confidence
and let them know all about it.
I'm going to tell the public all
about it and make public this conf
Dental information. By so doing l
will>help all Of the Chicago newspa-
pers and may prevent the big ones
from starving the little ones to
death.
Besides, 1 think the white paper
panic is going to be helpful to the
public, because l see in it a movement
toward a free press, We all know
that one of the things that has made
the people lose confidence in news
papers has been the controlling in
auence of advertising on news and
editorial policy. And I'm going to
free every newspaper in Chicago
from that control if I can do it by
telling the people the truth.
How serious publishers have con-
sidered the situation is shown in a
telegram sent from New York to
newspapers all over the country on
Aug. II last by the board Of direc-
tors and the paper committee of the
American Newspaper Publishers As
sociatiOn. thereafter for breVity's
sake will refer to it as the A. N P.
A. Here is the telegram:
"Production of news print is at its
maximum and there is no surplus
stock on hand.
Demand will soon increase with
no hope in sight of supply sufficient

fact will raise or depr,ss that mood.
Rumsnia's entry, it is believed, has
been timed with the grand Allied Of
fensive on all fronts. On the east fresh
Russian armies, reequipped and remu-
nitioned, are awaiting the coming OF
spring. In the Balkans the Allies have
gathered through the winter 100000
troops at Saionica for the reconquest
Of Serbia and the invasion Of Bulgaria
md Thrace. They are under the COM
nsnd of General Sarrail, the former
French commander of Verdun, one Of
the few commanders who have gone
through the war with the reputation Of
never having experienced defeat.
In the mountain bastions OF the
Tyrol not so much is expected Of the
Italians. Here the war has more the
character of an extended siege. On
the west front the millions Of fresh
British troops gathered and trained by
Lord Kitchener are ready for the field.

A CELEBRITY UN-
SPOILED BY FAME.
To Be Shown AT The Opera
House

Mr.. Bushman's newest picture,
million a Minute" to be shown
at the Newark Opera House on
Wednesday, September 9th, gives
this crowned king of the screen an
exceptional opportunity for the
display of his splendid talents.
Mr.. Bushman gained his place at
the top of motion pictures because
Of the sincerity of his work and
the legitimate use of his wonder
full abilities. He never has ap-
peared in anything save clean,
wholesome pictures, and his sue
cess has been builded on firm
foundation. 1t is great pleasure
for those working with Mr.. Bush
man to bear testimony to his adj
mirable qualities in private life.
His uniform courtesy, his frank
ness and his abundant good ma
ture have combined to make him
a great favorite in the studios. We
felt that our readers might be in
terested to know just how we feel
about a celebrity unspoiled by
fame. ADV.
