TON OF PAPER TAKES
!. TRIPLE THAT MATERIAL
25 Per Cent Saving Would Play
Big Part In Reducing Freight
Shortage.

TT Is estimated that about three
tons Of materials on the average, in
addition to coal are consumed to pro-
duce . ton Of paper" says the pulp
and paper division Of the War Indus
tries Board in its campaign to con-
serve paper. "This includes the tom
mage represented by the pulp, waste
I'VE have then a demand by the
paper industry for something like
25.ooo,oo0 tons Of freight thatshas to
be moved annually. This represents
nearly million carloads required for
the original manufacture and distribu-
ton.
"a large part Of the paper produced
Is converted into various articles
which have to be transported again.
For example. news print and book pa
per are converted into newspapers
magazines. books, ETC., many Of which
are sent through the malls as second
class matter. Paper board is convert
ed into folding boxes, set-up boxes.
corrugated and fiber containers. and
these are delivered to the concerns
using them, filled with the various ar
ticles, and again shipped to the whole
saler, retailer or the ultimate con-
sumer. Paper is converted into sta
tionery. envelopes, tablets, into drink
ing cups, towels, wearing apparel and
a thousand other forms, and in each
case further shipment usually takes
place. Any economies effected are,
therefore, cumulative in respect to the
transportation space saved.
"A reduction, Of Is per cent In the
consumption of paper would release
6 100000 tons Of freight IN and out
Of the mills in addition to the $500, 900
tons Of coal. This represents 400, 900
carloads. The surplus car capacity
not needed for the shipment of NUM-
tons, food, fuel and government sup
plies is now not more than 10 or is

With Foreign-Born
DrafteeS.
ARE SEGREGATED IN UNITS
BY AN AMERICAN ARMY OFFICER
Written for The Sunday Star and the

BY AN AMERICAN ARMY OFFICER
Written for The Sunday Star and the
New York World.
There has recently been tried at
Camp Gordon, Ga, new plan for
dealing with foreign-born soldiers
who are unable to speak the English
language and are out of touch with
is now known as the Camp Gordon
plan" The draft has brought into
the Army thousands of foreign-born
Italians, Poles. Russians. Russian
Jews, Lithuanians. Greeks. Ar
menians. Albanians. Syrians, Czecho-
Slovaks, Jugo-Slavs, Scandinavians,
Firms and even Turks. And not more
the English language we'll enough to
understand the instructions required
to make them frst-class lighting men
Naturally these men could not i'm
mediately be trained IN the same
companies with English-speaking SOL
diers. Most of them were splendid
physical specimens. but they could
not be drilled. because they did not
even understand the orders given. So
they were separated from the English
speaking draftees and placed toge ther
in single section of each camp, in
what have since been designated as
developing .battalions. They were
well housed. well fed, we'll cared for.
But they were left to themselves for
awhile, simply because they presented
problem for which no answer could
be found on the spur of the moment.
Restless and Resenfff11
So. week after week. they drifted
along. growing discontented, restless.
resentful, sullen. Many of them al
served in their native lands. and as
rule had come into camp ready
to fight. OF course. there were few
who did not want to fight, who actu-
ally did not understand why they had
been put into military camp; men
man propaganda; men who refused to
be naturalized. refused to don a, uni
form, refused even to pick up a rifle
and learn to drill. -
Presently one race began to quarrel
and bicker with another; old scores
from the pages of history were re-
opened. even within groups OF men Of
the same race.
Then came two officers with q plan
which they believed would solve the
problem. This plan was to segregate,
according to- their nationalities, SOL
diers who could not understand conn
mands. orders and regulations in Eng
lish. Instead of Russians, Italians and
a dozen other races jumbled, helter-
SHELTER, these officers recommended
that the Poles be formed into all
Polish battalions, the Italians into
Italian companies, the Russians into
divisions of their own, and so on. The
ADVANTAGES of this arranYemenf were
many. but so were the obstacles to its
execution. For example, to officer an
all-Italian company the officers need
be able to speak only Italian and Eng
lish. But where were such officers,
trained and capable. to be found?
