MORE PAPER WORKERS
ASKED TO GIVE VIEWS
Trade Commission Wants to Hear
Smaller Manufacturers Before De-
Gliding Price Fixing Proposal.

Newsprint paper manufacturers who
did not join in the proposal made last
week by 4 large group OF American
and Canadian manufacturers, that the
federal trade commission fix prices for
commission to present their views at a
closed hearing here Friday.
The commission will withhold its de-
cision on the proposal of the larger
manufacturers until after this confer
ence., IT is believed that the smaller
manufacturers will support the sug-
gestion of the larger, and that the
commission viii approve it.
IL the proposal should be accepted.
the commission Immediately will take
up the question of cost of production
as a basis for prices. and at the same
time probably will call hearings at
which both manufacturers and pub
fishers may present their ideas con-
corning reasonable charges.
The commission already has cost fig
ures obtained by its investigators last
summer and fall. and without a great
deal of work could bring them up to
date. II would endeavor to reach a
conclusion before March !
No price can be set. it was said today:
until most careful examination of
conditions has been made. The com
mission is as anxious to avoid setting
prices that will force manufacturers to
make paper without profit as it is to
see that publishers do not pay exorbi-
tant charges.
Reforestation as means of conserv-
ing the countrys wood pulp supply
was discussed at n luncheon given here
yesterday by Frederick W. Kellogg,
publisher of the San Francisco Call, to
government officials. newsprint MAX
ers and newspaper publishers. A
more serious situation than now con-
fronts publishers will have to be faced,
the speaker declared, unless the fed
eral and state governments adopt a
comprehensive reforestation policy.
Planting of fast-growing trees on cut
over forest land was held out as the
only hope of a paper pulp supply for
the future.

GERMAN OFFICIALS
|. SEE WAR W|THU.S.
Believe Countries Are Steering
! Toward HostiIities-Ameri-
| cans Not Badly Treated.
STRANDED IN DENMARK


The Lokal Anzeiger, the Deutsche
Tages Zeitung and several other news
papers of Berlin and the provinces have
printed unpleasant things about
America and Americans. but there ap-
pears to be no disposition TO make
trouble for Americans remaining in
Germany. The only inconvenience has
been inability to get permission to
leave the country Even this is not felt
seriously by a large part of American
residents. who have determined to re-
main in Germany regardless OF levelop-
ments and who, with the usual opu-
nism of Americans in a similar crisis
are becoming convinced that matters
viii not go beyond the present status
of ruptured relations.
Officials See War Ahead.
This, however does not appear to be
the impression of Germans. including
those in official positions. who seem to
believe that the two countries are
steering toward actual hostilities and
that there is very little chance of ulti-
mately avoiding war.
The American legation here has re-
ceived instructions from Washington
10 look out for Americans arriving IN
their names promptly to the depart
Inent. Among the Americans still in Ger
many, are r number of physicians and
nurses attached to various Gernan-Amer-
Jean Red Cross units. who We're sent over
since the national Red Cross withdrew
its hospital units from the central
powers. in october, 1915. Among these
are DIR. King and staff units at Oppeln.
Silesia: DIR. Rinkenberger and staff, at
Deutsch Elayu. West Prussia; Dr. kurk
Sauer and staff, at hamburg, who are
arranging to leave by way of SwitZer-
land and Spain. DIR. Hageler, with the
Graudenz unit, and DR.. Nippert of Gin
cinau at Deutsch Eylau intend 10 re-
main in Germany until further notice.
DR.. Martin at Vienna.
No information has been received
from Dr.. Paul Martin of Indianapolis
and his unit at Vienna, but it is pre-
sumed that no steps at departure will
be taken as long as diplomatic relations
between the United States and Austria
are unbroken. DIR. Eastman and two
assistants, who were in charge of the
Vienna hospital before the arrival of
Dr. Martin and staff, reached Copen-
hagen just before the announcement of
the submarine blockade and now are
among the Americans stranded here,
waiting anxiously for some develop
Ynents in the transatlantic traffic situa-
ton.
About 400 Americans in all are re-
ported to be here in this condition,
accompanying Charles J. Vopicka, the
American minister accredited to Ru-
mania, Serbia and Bulgaria, who were
recently ordered home.

Funds Near Exhaustion.

The situation for many of these
Americans is highly unfortunate, as
they have been here for two weeks or
longer. awaiting the departure of
steamer. Their funds are approaching
exhaustion, and they have been IN
able to obtain more from home owing
TO the dislocation of the Danish-Ameri
can mail and banking connections.
They are likely to be thrown upon pub
lie relief soon unless some arrange
ments can be made for their departure.
A movement now is afoot to call
general meeting of Americans in Co
penhagen, to appeal to the United
States government to take such steps
as will enable them to reach their
homes.
