Printers Face Serious Situation.
Kansas City, Mo, Sept. 15-Higher
prices for subscriptions and for ad-
vertlsing In the newspaper field were
advocated here yesterday by j. p.
Powell. instructor in advertising OF
the School of Journalism OF the Uni
versity of Missouri. at Columbia He
was speaking at the annual meeting
of the Missouri Press Association.
"The newspaper publisher who does
not increase his subscription price
and his advertising rates in common
with the upward trend OF prices for
practically all commodities that enter
into the production or a newspaper,
Is quite likely to be facing ruin In
another year" he said. Then he
quoted figures tending to show that
almost every article used in newspa-
per production has either doubled or
quadrupled in the last year.
He said that not more than dozen
leading newspapers in the country,
however. had increased their prices
and that he had heard of none at all
in the country field that had done so.
Mr.. Powell also discussed the rela-
tion OF the advertiser and the Euro
pean war.
I'VE are living in n time OF war and
we should prepare for peace" he said.
"Some day the war will end. It may
be soon; 1t may be late; but from now
until peace is declared. business men
have an opportunity to insure their
business against the future by adver-
tising. The retailer especially should
entrench himself with such service
and advertising that he will be able
to hold his customers against the in
evitable bargain and liqudations that
are certain to follow this artifcially
produced prosperity"
Mr.. Powell said that an increase in
advertising rates would be a benefit
to the public because IT would tend
to eliminate "adventurers with little
capital. who, unknown to the average
publisher. seek to exploit questiona-
BILE merchandise through newspaper
advertising" and that It would cause
more faith to be placed In the an
nouncements OF reputable firms.

The entente allies have won
a series of successes on the Ma
cedonian front, Paris an
nounces. The French, British
and Serbian forces operating
at different points have broken
through the Bulgarian de-
fenses. The French captured
positions half a mile deep over
a front of one mile. The Ser
bians scored brilliant success
after a battle of several days,
west of Lac Ostrovo, capturing
25 cannon and large number
of prisoners. The British were
victorious west of Vardar near
the center of the entente front,
where the Bulgarians were re-
tired distance of twelve miles.
On the Somme front, the
French last night captured a
series of German trenches and
advanced as far as Rancourt,
the French war office says. 1t
adds that two German attacks
were repulsed at Verdun.
The British, who have as
sumed the offensive again on
the Somme, charged over sec
tor six miles long and advanced
from two to three thousand
yards.
A renewal of the heavy
fighting in Mesopotamia is re-
ported in a delayed official
statement issued at CONSTANT
nople, on September 9, which
said that 1000 men had been
lost in one engagement there.
The British in their offensive
along the Somme have broken
the German third line defense
and captured Fleers, which is
two miles north of Ginchy, ac-
cording to reports to Reuters.
The Austrians have suffered
another sanguinary defeat west
of Kapul mountain in the Car
pathians, says a wireless dis
patch from Rome to London.
The capture of Combles which is be-
sieged by the British on the west and
'>,he French on the east, seems APP
parent The British are firmly estab-
lished in Luze wood. which is less
than a mile from the village.
A wireless from Rome says, the
Central Powers are preparing to start
an offensive IN the Balkans and that
Germany will send 100000 and Aus
tria 100000 men for this Teutonic
drive.
