ton of Unsold Copies in
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Aug. 9.-Newspaper
publishers of Philadelphia, after se-
ries Of meetings to consider the prac-
tically famine conditions in the news
prin, paper market, reached unani-
mously this agreement:
All daily evening and Sunday news
papers Immediately will reduce the siz.
of their issue to 80 pages weekly as a
maximum.
Beginning September ! the accept
ancc from wholesale purchasers of un-
sold copies of all morning, evening
and Sunday newspapers will be dis
continued This privilege has been
granted to newsboys, news agents,
news stands and carriers.
Facts and figures showed the .aills
had been unable to supply the enor-
nous increased demand for white pa
per. Not only have the mills been un-
able to lay in n reserve stock during
the summer months, as in former
years, but they are below normal sup
ply. 1t was pointed out that, unless
drastic reduction of consumption was
enforced, some newspapers would be
confronted with suspension of publ
cation. Many lareg dailics in Penn
sylvania have notified the Philadel-
phia publishers that they would fol-
low their lead
| The newspapers participating in the
agreement constitute the local press
of recognized circulation. They are

Evening Bulletin, the Evening Tele-
graph, the North American, the Phil
adelphia Enquirer, the Record, the

HUGHES AT BISMARCK.
Large Crowds Greet Presidential Can
didate as He Passes Through
North Dakota.

Change of schedule and rain did not
prevent large crowds greeting Charles
Evan Hughes, Republican candidate
for president, at every stop on his way
across western North Dakota last
week in special train
The first speech made by the for
mer justice, after he left Fargo, was
at Bismarck at $500 a. m. Reports
of the change of time from noon to
early morning were not received until
too late to give general notification of
the new schedule.
Crowd ut Station.
/ Nevertheless, soon after long
blast of the whistle of the Hughes
Electric company's power house, an
nouncing that the special was ap-
preaching, a crowd estimated at 1000
persons gathered on the station plat
form.
Arrangements had been made to
have. the train met by the Elks band
and to have large delegations from
surrounding towns present. These
plans were all upset by the change
made necessary because of the stop
at Billings, Mont. Many, however,
who it was impossible to inform, mot
ored in, and at noon there were more
people in town than during session
days.
Besides Bismarck, stops were made
at Mandan, Dickinson, Medora and
Beach, in North Dakota. Brief talks
were given at all these places, usve
Medora, where, at the old home of Col
onel Roosevelt, Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes
stepped off the platform and shook
hands with the crowds.-Bismarck

ALLIES MAKE GAINS.
Germans Give Up Entire Stripa Line
Russians Take
Towns

London, Aug. 12.-French anG Rus
sian forces have gained additional i'm
portant successes over the armies Of
the Central powers in northern France
and Galicia, respectively.
A sustained attack over a front of
three and three-fourths miles by the
French attacking the third German
lines north Of the Somme resulted in
the capture of all the trenches to a
depth Of third to two-thirds of n
mile.
The line of the victorious French ad-
vance extends from Kardccourt to the
Somme river at Buscourt.
Occupy Part Maurepas
The village Of Maurepas which has
been the center of much severe fight
ing during the last few weeks was
partly occupied by the French during
the same assault. German prisoners
to the number of 1000 and 80 ma
chine guns were taken.
Germans Abandon Stripa
On the eastern front the Austro-
Germans have been forced to give up
the entire Stripa line from Tarnapol
to Buczacz, which they have held since
last winter. The capture of the Stripa
line by the Russians followed the TAX
ing of several towns in the region of
Tarnapol.
The Russian success comes closely
on their turning of the fanks of the
Stripa positions in the north by the
capture of Brody and in the south by
the taking of Stanislau.
The advance of General Letchitzky
continues south of Stanislau.

The 500 train bound for Pollock
was wrecked Saturday evening one
mile east of Barbara Junction. The
third car back from the engine was
loaded heavily with lumber and it left
the rails for some cause not yet
known, pulling seven more cars with
it. The lumber car, two merchandise
cars and two fiat cars went into the
ditch and were knocked into kindling
wood. One car of Ford automobiles
for Herrcid left the rails and ran some
three or four hundred feet on the ties,
cutting them off and tearing up the
track, but luckily the car did not tip
over and was soon pulled back on the
rails and taken to it's destination. The
coaches did not leave the rails and no
one was injured. The wrecker was
sent out Sunday and cleared up the
mess and everything is running
smoothly again.

IRISH FHEF
BEGlEl HERE

S a circular letter has been received
by many HonolnIans from the local
committee formed tooraise funds for
Irish relief. Some of those who re-
ceiyed the circular letter at first nm
derstood that q Especial REPRESENTATIVE
OF the Irish relief movement would
come here from the mainland to up-
|f1ertalke the raising OF funds. but this
has proved not toi be the case. The
|Star-Bulletin is informed that the.
funds win be sent from Hawaii to
New York and thence TO ireland.
The raising and forwarding Of this
fund is said to be outside the scope
|of The war relief committee, through
which most uf the relief funds are
given. 1t is not for war relief but for
|xhe relief of sufferers through the re-
beIlion. 8.
The ciroular letter says:
At q meeting sof representative
Irishmen and women at the Murray
Hill hotel, New York. on Saturday
|eVening, May 20 last. there was imam

invite every Irish society and every

is IN ruins as result Of the lombard
ment, and the people are In dire dis
tress. Dublin has never been deaf to

have come. Ireland has especial
claims on this country because Of the
great services rendered BY her sons
and daughters in assisting in the es-
tabIishment Of this republic and in
contributing so much to our national
progress.
Our local committee feel sure that
