News Print Paper Problem.

The solution of the American news
papers problem of the high cost of
paper lies in the establishment of paper
mills on the Pacific coast, F. w. KEEL
Iogg of the San Francisco Call said
yesterday afternoon. addressing the
convention.
Paper can be made there cheaper
than in any part of Canada or the
United States" Mr.. Kellogg said. With
the boundless forests and water supply
running away to waste, it is possible
to make paper there from SCI to $26
ton. as against more than $40 in Can
ada This paper could be freighted
east by the Panama canal and would
relieve the shortage to a considerable
extent"
F. p. Glass. chairman of the paper
committee, said the price OF one-cent
newspapers must be advanced to meet
costs now or never.
1T will be too late when present con-
ditions are over" he warned, for the
public will not appreciate the necessity
Of the move as it will now"

Ideals Allies Greatest Asset.

The greatest asset of the allies III
this war is that they are fighting for
these ideals. Had it not been so we
could not have continued the struggle
1t was plain to US from the beginning.
When in 1914 Austria. by wantonIy at

the invasion and devaS1ac.Vn of Bel
GUM. plunged half the world into war
1t became our clear duty to go in and
help smash the bully.
The invasion of Belgium, a practf-
cally defenseless country. was accom-
panied. as | well known, by an orgy of
brutality-not casual outbreaks of un-
disciplined soldiery, for the German
army of 1914 was the highest disci-
plined force the world has ever seen but
a policy of organized terrorism muir
der and rape, arson and pillage, accom-
panied by the wanton destruction of
priceless monuments of the past, all
sanctioned and ordered by the highest
authorities. The military policy of Ger
many was that of the Huns of AttiIa,
and may be summed up thus: I am
much stronger and better prepared than
you; therefore, l am going to murder
you and your family and loot your
house
I'VE came into the war in the cause
Of civilization to make it clear to the
world that might was not right, and to
make It impossible for such things
ever to happen again. We do not fight
for territory, indemnities or national

freedom of mankind and the right to

fight for ideals go on striving until
they attain them or perish in the at

Chief Reason for Welcoming O. S.

The chief reason that the allies so
heartily welcome your great country
into the arena Of war Is that you see
things with our eyes, and following up
the inestimable services you have rem
dered us in the past, you are determin-
ed to mobilize your vast resources and
to strike for the cause of liberty and
to make the world decent and fit
place to live In.
II spoke this morning with n great
soldier, Field Marshal Joffre. He Is
man of whom 1t may be said that he
saved the civilized world at the battle
Of the Marine. l was proud to think
that ] had the honor of serving under
him. and that even in those early dark
days Of the retreat from Mons we felt
confident that his genius would stem
tho tide of invasion.
Now 1t has turned. and French and
British soldiers. fighting shoulder to,
shoulder. are rolling back the enemy
and freeing those portions of France
and Belgium which he has so ruthless
ly devastated. There Ia a fine old mill
tary maxim which says When in
doubt, march 20 the sound OF the guns,
and IT 10 there upon those fields of bat
tie that we should like to see the man
hood Of your nation and to see the
Stars and Stripes fly beside the Tri-
color and the Union Jack.

Believes Only in Force.

chine the world has ever seen. and
which believes Irrespective OF Ameri-
can opinion on the subjecO not only
that the only effective way to wage
modern war is by universal obligatory
service. but that force is the only thing
to be regarded
TO adopt at the outset universal OBJ
lgatory military service would be to
deal the morale of our enemies stag
gering blow and demonstrate at the
outset that we are in this war to win.
And do not forget that to deal this
blow at once may save countless Ameri-
can lives.
''On the other. hand. to hesitate, to
discuss, to dispute. or to reject uni
versal service and adopt the volunteer
system is to give aid and comfort to
the enemy by convincing him that we
are not in earnest.
The President made every effort to
keep the peace. but peace or anything
else in this world is worth nothing II
bought or kept at the price Of honor.
The German military caste hates the

The convention will close today and
the members will return to their homes
throughout the United States. inspired
by messages direct from the Battle
fields of Europe.
Speaking as the representative of Mr..
Balfour, Gen. Bridges brought with
him to the dinner something of the
spirit of the battlefields of France and
Belgium. He was able to tell from his
personal experiences something of the
scourge of Belgium at the beginning
of the war 1t was not the work of
undisciplined soldiers. he declared, but
was the deliberate plan of the highest
German army authorities.
Patriotism was the dominant note of
the dinner from the decorations to the
speeches, The invocation was a plea
that the strength of the nation be de-
voted to .'humanity's holy cause, and

volcano in 1866, when she was a child,
and said that at that time there we're
three lakes. 1t was on this occasion
that she became frightened and hur-

Others followed her. and ten minutes
after the party had left the spot the

Mrs. Nakuina told now Hiiaka loved
Pele more than he did his own wife,
and gave much of the legends that
had been handed down regarding
these two mythical characters. Many
tourists were present and Mrs. Nakui-
ma was asked questions on every
