Uncle Sham.
(New Haven Union.)

Those who were tickled with the cleverness and force of Porter Elmer son BroWne's timely satire iii Nc Clure's recently entitled Peace At Any Price Poem" will be disappoint- ed in his latest effort along the same general Line, called s"Uncle Sham" Peace at any price was a laugnable burlesque with a message of logic and plain common sense. The new article is humorous, but an, unwaI- ranted perversion of facts doing in- justice to the president of the United States and to the country itself. Facts are facts and should not be pervert- ed to make material for buriesuue The first Browne article was real bur lesque because the foundation was fact; the second is spoiled because the author has gone out of his way to pervert his account of recent events as basis for framing his humor. It It would appear that his art has been deserted and his writing has descend ed into an anti-Wilson propaganda

 That congress Is in a mood to go further than the Hay bill in the way of strengthening the regular army Is indicated by the house vote on the Kahn amendment increasing the reg ular establishment to 220.000 men. This amendment was defeated by vote of 213 to 191. A change of only twelve votes would have carried it.
 With such a showing in the house, where n ~tional-defense sentiment has been the least aggressive, 1t Is safe to predict that the final meas ure when 1t leaves the conference committee will contain more of the Chamberlain bill than of the Hay bill

SAVE THE PAPER.

Recently, it will be remembered, Secretary of Commerce Redfeld sent 8 message to the American peopic asking them to go sparingly in the total destruction of waste paper and old rags because of a famine which threatens the country. The secretary has now amplihed this by addressing letters on the same subject to the mum erous chambers of commerce, boards of trade. and the other sim ganizations throughout the country. The gist of the whole campaign is Save your waste paper and rags"
 This is campaign for national conservation. It is directed at every home, every office, every shop in the United States. The newspaper office with it's wilderness of waste paper scattered over the floor each day is one of the first places struck by the appeal, although Tn most offices this paper Is all baled and sold. The
 
 every parcel of paper that comes into the home is the next station. The paper industry is exceedingly en-
 barrassed because of the war abroad. It needs help, or in the fine days ahead the people of this country will be at a loss for stationery and wrap ping paper. To help overcome this condition is nothing more nor less than public service. It has, of course, a reward in ready money for deal CTS everywhere are looking for ma terial with which to manufacture paper Every day in the United States there are used some fifteen thousand tons of paper of various kinds It is pointed out that the ma iority of this stuff can be saved, made over again into stock of various grades and put back on the market. Very few people know this. In order to educate the people up to the won derful ways of manufacturing paper, the department of commerce has set out on this campaign. It will be aid ed by the postofice department in a display at all post offices through out the United States, of bulletins set ting forth the plan of conservation ad-
 vanced by Secretary Redfeld.

Letters, circulars, folders paper boxes, pasteboard of all kinds 1 from the highest to the lowest, usual l Iy find their way into the fire. when ! they should be bundled and crated and sent back to the mills. The Sec retary of Commerce expresses him 1 self as confident that "the Cham bers l of Commerce and Boards of Trade ir l every city can render a signal ser l vice to all the people of the country as well as to the paper industry, bs l urging individuals and firms in theil , respective districts to save refuse rag' 1 and papers," Bear in mind then
 that these things at present do no l come under the general head of rub l bish, but have 8 market value. Save your. waste paper and rags.'

Insurance Companies Quit Souu
 Carolina.
(Meriden Record.

(Meriden Record.)
 Practically all of the sixty seven fire insurance companies who have been doing business in South Carolina, have withdrawn from the state, be- cause of the anti-compact law that goes into effect Wednesday. Policies now in effect will not be canceled, it is said, but no new business will be written, while the new law is in force it is announced by the disgruntled in surance men. The decision to with draw from the state was reached by the higher ups in the insurance world at a meeting in New York.
 The new law in South Carolina prohibits the organiza tion of fire in surance companies to maintain uni form charges or rates in the state The insurance men also object to an- other law that went into effect March i. imposing an annual license fee of s25 on agents for each company they represent, and taxing single agents four per cent. on all premiums paid to them.
 Insurance Com issioner McMaster the packer of the new legislation, has appealed to the federal government for an investiga ton. This, it is said the companies will welcome. The joint action of the insurance com panies in refusing to write further business in South Carolina practically lies up the insurance of the state, and to bring relief there is a mOvem ent on foot for the repeal of the law. Kentucky and Missouri have both been through fights with the fire in surance companies, and these states repealed the radical legislation and appointed commissions to frame in surance codes.
