Publishers Are Urged
To Practise Economy
In Use of Print Paper
100000 Already Saved in
Fight to Reduce Price,
Says Report

Minneapolis, July 10.-Necessity for
organization, economy and cooperation
among newspaper publishers was en-
phasized tonight in the report Of the
executive committee of the National
Editorial Association, which was pre-
sented by G. f. Hosmer, OF Denver.
chairman Of the committee.
During the last year" said Mr.. Hos
mer, investigation by the Federal
Trade Commission and by our commit
tee has clearly shown that there has
been only slight increase in the cost
OF manufacturing print paper since
1910, and you all know the increase
has been from 30 per cent 10 200 per
cent IN the selling price. am firmly
OF the opinion that but for the work
that has been done by our organization
and by the affiliated state and district
organizations We would now be paving
az least an average of one cent a hound
more Tor paper than We are paying.
Il would estimate that the work has
saved and will save the newspaper pub
fishers during 1917 AZ least $25 600 600
over what they you'd have had 20 nav
had the night not been taken up by us
a year ago"
The report said tina; the censorship
question had been settled fairly salts
factorily" and that newspapers should
be careful not TO misuse their privi-
loges.
OF postage rates the report said that
a fair basis would be one which took
into account the difference between a
publisher sending his paper 1000 miles
and one whose mailing limit was two
miles. Mr. Hosmer took exception TO
the imposition OF per cent tax on
the profits of newspapers.

Italian Mission
To u. s. Lands
Safely in France
Departure on June 80 a Sc
cret Closely Guarded
by Government

Washington. July 10.-The first an
nouncement that the Italian War Mis-
sion had left the United States was
made tonight by the Italian Embassy
upon receipt OF word that the party
had arrived safely at French port,
after leaving this country secretly
June 80.
News of their movements had beeh
guarded by government officials and she
newspapers to insure the party's pro-
lection against enemy plotters in this
country or undersea boats on the At
lantic. Similar precautions taken for
the British and French missions were
successful in concealing their where
abouts from the public until they we're
safely landed in home ports.
Hundreds OF letters and kilograms
addressed TO mission members nave
poured into the italian Embassy mere
during the last ten days from lndi'ld-
uals and organizations which thought
the Italians were making private trIps
through the United States, as had been
announced just before their departure.
Military guards were maintained aDO"l
the residence occupied by the Itaiians
here for some time after the mission
was on It's way back to Europe.
William Marconi is the only member
Of the mission remaining IN this coun-
try. He expects to spend several weeks
N New York attending TO needs Of the
Italian government and private bust
ness. 4 number Of mission attaches
also were left behind TO carry out de-
tails OF the cooperative war programme
between Italy and the United States.
Headed by the Prince Of Udine, the
Italian Mission arrived in the United
States May 21, and several weeks ago
toured several American cities. Dur
ing the stay here the mission worked
out plans by which the United States
will supply food, iron and coal TO Italy,
and made arrangements for conserving
ocean tonnage

Roosevelt in Fiery
Note Joins Attack
On Elizabeth Mayor
American Who Defends Kaiser
Is an Enemy, Colonel
Writes Angered Citizens

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt has
turned his guns on Mayor Victor Mrav-
lag Of Elizabeth, " j., who refused to
accept flag presented to his city on
July because G.. Bertram Woodruff,
in his presentation address, said harsh
things about the Kaiser.
Since that time Elizabeth has been
split into two factions. The body OPP
posed 10 the Mayor yesterday received
strong reinforcements in the person Of
the Colonel. Citizens of the 10th
Ward, where the Fourth of July Incl
dent occurred, wrote 70 Colonel Roose-
welt asking him to speak at an indig-
nation meeting to be held there on Sat
urday night Yesterday they received
the following reply;
"No American who at this time de-
tends the Kaiser and Germany is a
good American. He is an enemy of the
United States exactly as the man who
I'M 1776 defended King George and
Great Britain was an enemy Of the
United States.
"There is no room here for men who
are half-American and half-German.
and they should go back to Germany.
On the other hand, the American OF
German blood who stands straight by
the United States is just exactly as
good an American as any one else, and
to discriminate against or permit him
to be Disseminated against now IS as
great an outrage as if in 1916 there
had been discrimination against Wash
ington, or Greene or Putnam because
they were Of English blood
The Colonel then added that he
would rather speak in Elizabeth at this
time than anywhere else in the
United States, but that it was I'M
possible for him 20 make any more en-

Hoboken Bone Dry
s Hours a Day;
300 Saloons Close
No Drinks Will Be Sold
from 10 P. NJ. to
6 A. M.
By BRIGGS

Hobokcn. which hesitsted a week
over request from The army 70 close
saloons within a four-block area az 10
p. m. is 10 60 bone-dry throughout its
length and breadth for eight hours Of
each twenty-four. The order will be
issued to-day by the City Commission
ers, Mayor Patrick r. Griffin said last
night, and will take effect Immediately.
From 10 p. m. TO a. m. no saloons are
to be open. no drinks are to be sold
The announcement directly followed
conference between the Mayor and
Brgadier General VI. y. Wright. A.,
least two efcrts were made within a
week BY Colonel J. VI. Carson, Of the
Quartermaster Corps, TO persuade May
or Griffin 20 issue similar orders in
respect TO districts near the army
piers had proved fruitless. The Mayor
had called meeting of saloonkeepers
10 discuss the proposal for tonight,
but had taken no steps toward issuing
the order.
Policemen will be instructed 10 re-
port to Federal authorities all viola
lions of the order. and it is said that
army officers will close every saloon
which remains open after 10 o'clock.
Hoboken has l25 policemen and they
work in three shifts. 1t has more than
500 saloons and the most interchangeable
bartenders in the world. Scores of the
saloons have absolutely unblemished
records; they have never been locked
up.
So if Chief of Police Paddy Hayes
knits his brows to-day il won't be TO
make muflers for the navy, and if
lockmakers in Hoboken smile nobody
will wonder. The price of key metal
has advanced tremendously since the
war.

Legislature to Cut
Tammany Aldermen
Tiger May Lose Eleven Seats
in Reapportionment
Bill

Dissatisfied with reapportionment OF
the Senate districts in New York City
as passed by the Republican Legislat-
ure, the Tammsny Board of Aldermen
sought to retsliate by slashing some Of
the Republican Assembly districts.
The Tammany aldermen thought they
had the laugh Oh the Republican leg
islators. Now it appears that a new
apportionment of aldermanic districts
will be made at the special session of
the Legislature, which Governor Whit
man has called for the last OF this
month, and the tables will be turned
on the aldermen.
The aldermanic district reapportion-
ment bill passed by the last Legislature
was vetoed by Mayor Mitchell because
six city blocks in The Bronx were left
out entirely. and two districts in Brook
Ign overlapped each other.
The. bill provided for cutting down
the membership OF the Board of Alder
men from % to SO. The Republican
county chairmen OF the five boroughs.
who are preparing the maps for the
new aldermanic reapportionment, are
now seriously considering further de-
crease in the Board of Aldermen by
planning only siXty-two districts. This
would mean loss 20 Tammanv of
eleven aldermen, as the redistricting
would mostly effect the Democratic dis
tricts. Samuel S. Koenig, chairman %
the New York County Republican Com
mittee, was in Albany yesterday con
ferring with Governor Whitman on the
matter.
Threatened with mandamus by
Brooklyn Republican leaders, the Board
OF Aldermen yesterday ut a special
meeting changed the lines of the Goth
and 22d Assembly districts in Brooklyn.
