GREAT STRIKE TIES UP
GERMAN PLANTS
Out-inperial Palace Under
Heavy Guard.

Copenhagen. April 20-The number
of strikers in Berlin is placed in even
the semiofficial report at $4,000. and
is distributed, according TO the Tage
blatt, through machine works, some
electrical establishments, and part of
the munitiOn plants. The Tageblatt's
statement is interesting in view of a
dispatch from the official news bureau
denying that munition factories are af
fected. The TagebIatt says, however,
that the great munition industry at
Spandau has not been involved.
Reports in all the Berlin newspa-
pers which have arrived agree in say
ing that most of the demonstrators
were orderly, although roughs resort

Evolution of Paper.

The earliest substitute for our mod
ern paper was clay tablets; the next
stage came with the use by the Egypt
ians Of the layers forming the stem of
the papyrus leaves. Later skins of
animals were used. Linen and cotton
rags were not used for the manufac-
ture of paper until the eighth century.
In the last of the thirteenth century
paper was manufactured in Italy from
rags and fax. The first machine for
manufacturing paper in bulk was set
up early in the nineteenth century in
England. During the latter part of the
century raw material other than woven
stuffs began to be used. OF late years
wood pulp has been used in large
amounts for paper making.

READY TO AID THE U. S.
Hope to Be of Assistance to America
and Point Out Mistakes Made by
the Entente Allies During the
Early Part of the War.

Washington, April 24.-The British
war mission, headed by Foreign Secre-
tary Arthur j. Balfour, arrived safely
in Washington on Sunday.
After passing through cheering
throngs at the Union station and in
the crowded thoroughfares which led
to the home of Breckenridge Long,
third assistant secretary of state, in
Sixteenth street, the members are rest
ing for the labOrs that await them.
The tension of the last ten days was
relaxed. SO far as could be learned
there was no untoward incident from
the time the mission left England until
it arrived here.
When Mr. Balfour left the presi-
Dental room in the east end OF the
station, accompanied by Secretary OF
State Lansing and Colonel Harris,
President Wilson'S military aid, there
was a storm of hand-clapping and
cheers.
"This is very, very moving" he told
Secretary Lansing as they stepped into
their machine.
"Mr Balfour, his advisers, assist
ants and experts are at your COM
mand," Geoffery Butler of the British
foreign office declared. "We hope to
be of assistance to the United States
in many ways.
"One of the most important is TO
point out the mistakes we made early
in the war; Those mistakes cost us
dearly. If the United States can learn
from them it will mean a great saw
ing in every way"
Great Britain's high commissioners
to the international war council, to be-
gin in Washington this week, set foot
on American soil on Saturday.
The object of the commission, Mr..
Balfour said, was ''tO make co-opera-
ton easy and effective between those
who are striving with all their power
to bring about lasting peace by the
only means that can secure it--namely,
a successful war"

REPRESENTATIVE CRISP
PAYS DAWSON VISIT
SAID GOVERNMENT MAY WANT
TO CUT APPROPRIATION FOR
POSTOFFICE BUILDING.

Congressman Crisp was in Dawson
several hours Wednesday mingling
among the people, and was given a
cordial welcome by numerous friends.
He was in splendid health, and look
ed well after the almost continuous
session Of congress the past two
years.
Mr.. Crisp said he had assurance
that the government architect will
be ready early in January with plans
for the postoffice building that will
be erected in Dawson. Just how soon
thereafter the contract will be let
and work begun no one knows, but
he will urge as little delay as posi-
BILE. Mr.. Crisp says it is the policy
of the government now not to spend
the full appropriation for the erection
of a public building, and it may be
that building costing less than $780,
600, the amount of the appropriation,
will be planned for Dawson. A struct-
ure costing less than that, at the pres
ent high cost of material and labor,
would be a very small and insignifi-
cant affair, and it will call forth a
vigorous protest from the people of
the city if a cheaper building is de-
cided upon by the authorities. At
Moultrie, where a postoffice building
has just been erected, plans were
drawn for a building to cost less than
the amount which was appropriated,
but the people got behind the matter
so vigorously that the authorities
abandoned their intentions of
cheaper structure.
