hlE PRESIDENTS ORDER
nay Benefit PUBLISHERS.


In an order which Newspaper pub
1ishers declare win serve a. an Inn
yertant precedent. President Wilson
has dxed . price OF ~ cents on news
print paper for use in publishing the
governments daily official bulletin.
The order fixing the price was issued
By Secretary Baker at the Presidents
direction under the national defense
aet. which empowers the government
10 commander supplies needed for war
purposes. It was directed to the In
tsrnat1onal Paper Company, which had
declined to furnish news print for the
bulletin at less than 3 cents . pound.
Newspaper publishers who learned of
the order voiced the hope that 1t might
open the way for cheaper news print

attention to statements by the Presi-
dent that the Administrators war
price policy VIII be one that provides
the same prices for the public as for
the government
the instance of the joint congressional
committee on printing. OF which Sem
ator Fletcher is chairman. When the
bulletin first began publication the
committee offered bids for news print
and the cheapest price named was
cents. This. the committee decided, was
too high and appealed to the Interna-
tionAl, on patriotic grounds. to sell Its
product to the public printing Office at

later declared increasing production

INSISTS THE CONSUMER
SHOULD NOT WASTE COAL
q. 8. Chamber of Commerce Commit.
tee Suggests the Necessity
for Economy.

The man who wastes coal today is an
enemy of mankind. says a special war
bulletin issued by the committee of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
states cooperating with the Council
of National Defense. In its appeal to
consumers to reduce their coal require
ments the committee makes the fol-
lowing five suggestions:
Inquire into the methods employed
by your fireman and consider his
methods in relation to those suggested
by the bureau of mines.
Learn what plants in your locality
secure the best results from coal
"Endeavor to have the wasteful
users Of GOAL profit by the best expe-
rience of the locality.
Improve all local methods by con-
sultation with the bureau of mines
and study of the stocking methods rec
commended by the bureau.
Buy your coal as near home as DOS
sible."

Limit Placed on Production.

There is limit to the amount of
coal which should be mined, accord
ing to the bulletin. In the great con-
centration of national energy toward
prosecuting the war men are not
available to open new coal mines to
meet extravagant needs Transports
ton facilities are burdened to the lin
1t OF capacity. These and other fac
tors establish definite limit to the
amount of coal which should be made
available for use during the war
The bureau of mines has made a
study for years of stocking methods.
Elaborate Investigations and expert
ments have been conducted, and the
results of what has been done are
available to every user of coal The
director of the bureau of mines de-
sires that users of coal call upon this
division of the government for advice
and assistance" the bulletin advises
coal users

Federal Board Supplied Figures.

Senator Fletcher went to the Federal
Trade Commission for its cost of produc-
tfon figures. and the committee decided
the International could sell at 21a cents
and still make fair profit. The situ-
alton then was laid before President
Wilson, who asked Attorney General
Gregory for an opinion as to how far
he could go under the defense act.
The Attorney General held that a
supply of paper for the bulletin was
necessary for war purposes and recon-
mended that the paper be taken II ~
cents was q fair price
The result was that the President d.
rected Mr.. Baker to go ahead, and the
International was ordered to supply q
eufhcient amount of paper to print the
bulletin at "a cents.

Paper Napkins at the Adlon.

] have just received a letter from an
American in Berlin. The soup is no
longer the thinnest item on the menu at
the Adlon." he writes: they are using
paper napkins now. And. probably be-
cause of the paper shortage, they have
again raised the luncheon price marks
CAS- cents). That makes IL marks
($2.S8) now for a luncheon that cost
$50 marks (S4 cents) in times of peace.
Only it contained real food in those
days"
Tablecloths also are barred. But the
paper-napkin idea began a long time
ago. even in the high-priced restau-
rants. 1 have eaten for months of OIL
cloth tablecloths in one of the finest
homes in Berlin. In another Tiergarten
mansion the good housewife began to
serve paper napkins a year ago and to
put gilt-edged paper doilies under each
plate. 1t seemed homogeneous with gold
plate and the most extravagant of cabi-
net wines in a dining room such as few
palaces can boast. but 1t is war and
soap is about the scarcest thing in Ger
many.

Theaters Play to Capacity.

Yet the theatres are full of laughing
crowds. The merrier plays are in the
ascendancy again. Strindberg, Ibsen
and the Sest of the doleful crew who
were last years pessimistic fad are less
popular now. Interestingly enough. a
large portion of the audiences are SOL
diers from the front. They want real
recreation when they come through on
their furloughs, and the theaters seem
to offer it. That Is why Beriin's twenty
odd playhouses can hang out IS. r. o."
signs winter and summer, and the two
grand opera houses do a capacity bust
ness regularly. Just now the two royal
theaters are closed, but all the others
are running summer programs.
The cafes are similarly filed, and
again the soldiers predominant. The
restaurants do a>good business consid-
ering the thinness of their menus
and the thickness of their prices. Some
of the more famous and higher priced
ones have Just been closed by the police
authorities because they overcharged
for food they had no right to sell.
Killers, Dressefs. Richards. the Vile
ner Schloss, the Linden and the Vic
toria were shut up within one week,
and shut up Indefinitely. They got too
famous as places where you could get
fragment of steak for 10 or 20 marks
($2.40 to $500 that no hash foundry in
Chicago would dare to offer. But you
could get 1t without meat cards-if you
were known to the head waiter-aph
the police put an end to it.

Greatest Sugar Exporter.

Figures compiled by competent au-
thority few months ago, showed that
since the beginning Of the European
war the United States, already known
as the greatest sugar consuming coun-
try, had also become the worlds great
EST exporter Of refined sugar. From
1OO,OOO,O0O pounds in 1913, our sales of
sugar to other countries increased
from 5O0,0OO,OO0 pounds during the
first year Of the war to 1,5O0,OOO,O0O
during the year 1915. Formerly Ger
many, Austria Hungary, Russia and

Rules Less Drastic Than Ger
many's, But Less Lax
Than Ours.
EXPLAINED BYLORD kHOitDDA
Chief Aim Is to Safeguard the Inter-
est Of Consumers First Of ALL
Imposes Little Compui-
sorry Rationing.

Washlngton.-Thre general poll cies
In food saving are now being main
tanned by three great nations, the
United States, Great Britain and Ger
many.
The German idea is strict rationing
of the consumer, and recently the Unit
ed States food administration issued
figures showing the present German
ration, which is meager as to variety
and far below average dietetic re-
quirements.
The American idea in food saving Is
to secure voluntary cooperation, as far
as possible, from both the public and
the producer and handlers Of food ar
ticles.
The British idea lies between the
two. AS little compulsory rationing as
possible is imposed upon the general
public. But there is farreaching and
rigid supervision of all food articles
by regulating the manufacturers and
merchants, by the establishment Of
maximum prices, and after December
80 rationing cards are to be issued for
sugar.
: What Lord Rhondda Says.
A statement just issued by Lord
Rhondda, the British food controller,
describing the British system of food
control gives a succinct and clear
picture for comparison of the food-:av-
ing measures which are now being fol-
lowed in the United States.
Lord Rhondda says:
my aim is to safeguard the inter-
ests of the consumer, to do away with
profiteering altogether, and to prevent
excessive profits of any~kind. The
framework of our machinery is formed
On the civil service. They are the ad-
ministrators, but in all cases we Sc
cure the best available business men to
advise them, as well as a number Of
expert committees dealing with almost
every food commodity. The policy is
to limit profits at every step from the
producer to the consumer, and at the
same time to regulate supply.
"A costings department under the
direction Of chartered accountants has
been set up, through which the. profits
made by any manufacturer or retailer
of food can be ascertained. The coun-
try has been divided into separate
areas, in each of which leading firm
of accountants has been appointed by
this department to do the necessary
work. Reasonable profit based on pre-
war rates is added to the present cost,
the price limits agreed on that basis,
after consultation with the representa-
lives of the trades concerned.
Sixteen Food Divisions.
Decentralization is obtained by d.
viCiing Great Britain into 16 food d.
visions, consisting Of so many coun-
ties. Each division is under the su-
perintendence Of a commissioner ap-
pointed by the food controller. In
each of these divisions the borough
urban or rural district councils, or
other local authorities. appoint local
food committees, with limited powers
and certain discretion, to carry out
such regulations as regards price and
distribution as may be issued from
headquarters.
Local tradesmen are registered with
their local committees, and if any
tradesman does not carry out regula-
tons and orders he may be struck off
