the smaller papers will not receive the metropolitan dailies unless they pay for them just like other folks. The war board has issued this or der, it is said, to conserve print pa per, as every metropolitan newspaper has always maintained a lengthy "free list"
 The print paper shortage, which has caused so much difficulty in the past year, is only small taste of what may be expected during the next year or until the war is ended.
 In Europe, governments have linn ited the supply of news print to the individual paper, with the result that limitation of the size of the actual newspaper has been necessary.
 Such limitation very likely will be made in the United States.

HELP THE BOYS AT THE FRONT,

The first Associated Press dispatch flashed over the wire this morning and received by the Independent told of a heavy attack launched against American positions. Today the fight ing is of the most desperate nature, with reports saying the Americans are meeting the attack in character istic manner and holding their posi- tions.
 This is the first colossal thrust the enemy has made against American lines. And we who understand the American spirit know our boys will give a good account of themselves.
 But we must also realize that the casualty lists will be long if the pres ent battle continues. Boys we know

will probably fall. This is to be ex- pected, however touching.
 All of which brings home to us to- day as never before the real contact of war, and it's meaning. Is there a man or woman so hide-ound, so thor oughly innoculated with the venom of indifference or disloyalty, who will now refuse to back up these brave lads over there? Do you know of a man or a woman so traitorous to the cause of humanity, who now will re- fuse to hand over every cent that can be brought to bear against the cam paign of utter destruction?
 It is now time for people to wake up and help the boys who today are over there giving their blood that we over here may continue to have de- cent place to live in. Those who re- fuse to do this merely are parties to the monstrous hell machine America is going to whip, and time will tell who has done his share.
