Take this matter OF bleach, 20 per cent
OF which comes from foreign countries.
Most folk know now that the creamy
color OF the paper now used In many
newspapers ID due TO the lack OF this
bleach. But some folk in Washington
get trade bulletins printed In Germany,
where most OF thu bleach came from.
and they could not understand why
these. too, were printed on q yellowish
paper.
bleach 10 chlorine. Chlorine 10 used in

Government officials rubbed their eyes
when bids were made recently for the
various Government departments. Hith-
erto there had been a scramble among
scores OF paper makers and dealers to
Ill these orders. This year there were

In addition to bleach and rags the
elements in paper making include
bieached sulphite. analine colors, and
satin white. All these were largely Inn
ported.
Soar in Price.
With importatIons cut off they have
SCARED in price. sulphitc went from
32.65 per hundred pounds at the out
ireak Of the war TO $40 and 50 a
pound now. satin-white jumped from
to cents a pound. Anaiine colorg
leaped from 20 cents TO 80 per pound.
Then there are elements made in the
United states which have gone up in
price because OF the wider markets I'm
South American countries. and OF the
heavy exports to those nations.
Casein. for example. has gone from
6h cents to Is and 30 cents a pound.
Alum has gone from cent a pound to
81 cents a pound. Soda ash has risen
from ais per barrel TO $50: foudrinier
wires from % cents per square foot to
% cents per square foot: lumber for
cases and frames from ,13.25 per thou
sand feet to 1850 per thousand feet.
and there has been an advance of 10
per cent In wooden and cotton felts.
Even at that there are none OF the
articles to be had, in many cases, at
the higher prices quoted.

 PEACE MOVE
High German Officials Intimate Their Willingness 10 Act as Peace Med.
 iatOr; President Willing.

Berlin, May 25.-The declaration by President Wilson in his speech at Charlotte, North Carolina, with refer ence to the possibility of American mediation in the European war, was published prominently in the news papers here today.
 Though it was not definitely stated, there is little doub. but that Germany is willing to consider tender of the good offices of the American govern ment toward peace negotiations.
 The former attitude of the highest German officials that the United States is disqualified to act as a peace medi- ator because of having shipped muni- tions to the allies, now has changed.
 It is apparent here this if President Wilson shows tangible possibilities of peace through his mediation, Germany undoubtedly will consider any sug- gestions that he has to offer.

If Governors Custer Fight Ends Sue. cessfully-Hearing Being Held.
 More Protests Come In.

Little Rock. May 25.-Dr. Robert Ros land, formerly of Fl Dorado. Will. succeeded Dr. w. D. Roberts as n.ember o' the medical staff of the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases about a year ago, probably will 0> chosen by the Board of Control to succeed Or. E. P. Bledsoe as superin- tendent il the board and Governor Hays succeed in ousting Dr. Bledsoe.
 It is probable the board today will l.otify pr. Bledsoe that the hearing d. which charges against him will be pre- ferrcd, vii. be opened tomorrow. Tie charges probably will be delivered to- day J. M Moore of Little Rock, the lawyer who drew up the contract be- tween Dr. Bledsoe and the board, prop ably will conduct pr. Bledsoes de- :ensa. It is expected that R. L. Ros- org, who was the governors attorne:~ when he recen ly attempted to remove loissicn, will represent the boarc
 It is assumed that the procedure out lined by the attorney general in tho governors custer proceedings against the penitent;ary commis toners will be followed in this case. Under 1t the board must give public hearing be- fore discharging Dr. Bledsoe.
 Raney May Be Attacked
 It is said that many sensational Ge- velopments will be brought out at the hearing. It is said T. J. Raaey, Gov ernor Hays closest friend on the board, will be attacked. It is alleged that he is ineligible under the sectio.. of the law creating the board. which requires that all members must re- side in Little Rock and devote all tzeir time to the institution. Mr. Raney ha; been in Little Rock practically all O. the time since his appointment, bu: his family still is at Newark. where he lived at the time of his appointment.

 The resolutions adopted by the Ar kansas county society were couched in strong language. They branded Gov ernor Hays action as simply poli- tica, tiick for the reason that the charges contained in his letter are absurb and disgrace and a slande. upon the medical profession of Ark anSas.
