PUT CARBON Of REPLIES
ON BACKS OF LETTERS
So Urges American Forestry Asso-
citation to Conserve Paper in Aid
ing War Industries.

A call has gone out to the business
Forestry Association to save paper
worth millions by writing the carbon
of answers on the back of business
letters received"
The association is cooperating with
the paper economy section of the pulp
and paper division Of the War Indus
tries Board, which has inaugurated a
paper conservation campaign to fur
nish sufficient chlorine and sulphur
for the manufacturers OF gases and
gas masks for use overseas. Chlorine
and sulphur are necessary for the
nounced by the authors of the paper
conservation campaign that the more
paper there is saved the more success
full will be the prosecution Of the war.
Saves Paper and Filing.
Here Is a plan for saving paper"
said P. S. Ritsdale. secretary of the
association and editor of the Ameri-
can Forestry Magazine. that Is a
great saver of white paper. 1t will
mean a saving of hundreds OF pounds
Of white paper by our organization
every year. Simply use the back of
the letter you receive to take the
carbon impression of your answer to
that letter.
This cuts fling cost, prevents clut-
tering up Of files and gives you the
history Of your business with any
concern on SO per cent less paper.
In business today 95 per cent Of the
letters is kept within one page. No
business man likes to open or read a
long letter. A tremendous drain is
being made upon our forests for wood
for paper. In 1918 we will use about
1000, 900 cords of wood in the making
of paper. Let US conserve paper by
dispensing with carbon sheets
wherever possible. Let us save for
victory"

GRAPE GROWERS
ASK PROHIBITION
POSTPONED YEAR
National Prohibition in 1919
Would Cause Great Loss to
Growers, Senate Told.
(By Associated Pressy

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Califor-
MIA grape growers appearing today be-
fore the senate agriculture committee
urged that the national prohibition
legislation be amended so as to be-
come effective July l, 1920 instead of
Puly I, 1919. as now proposed. They
said the July compromise would bene-
fit wine makers, but cause enormous
losses to grape growers.
Through questions asked by Senator
Thelan OF California it was brought
out that contracts between wine max
ers and grape raisers contain a
clause providing that the contract be-
comes void if national prohibition
goes into effect.
Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, chair
man of the committee, said the federal
amendment would be ratified by the
state by next January or February to
become effective one year after ratifi-
cation. The representative Of the
California interest replied that the
grape men in California were prepar-
ing for national prohibition by curtail-
ing their production and when two
thirds of the state expressed a de-
sire for national prohibition they
would be willing to abandon their
business.
The hearing will be continued to-
morrow.

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 27.-German
war experts are hopelessly at odds In
trying to explain the present situation
on the west front Twice each day
General Ludendorff's communiques
announce victorious repulses' but a
glance at the man shows that each
successive locality mentioned as the
scene OF fighting lies a few miles far
ther eastward.
This, says the Hamburg Nachrich-
tens military expert, darkly, is "a
bad sign for the enemy, because 1t
shows that his attempts to pierce the
German front have failed and that he
seeks to substitute width for depth"
He further argues that "the earlier
German thrust toward Amiens fore
stalled the enemy and now. even If
the Germans are losing ground, it is
no absolute gain for the enemy, but
merely the recovery of earlier losses"
These sophistries are not wholly
shared by the Kreuzzeitung's critic,
who frankly admits that it is the Ger
man scheme that has gone wrong in
asmuch as "the enemy has success
fully evaded battle on both sides Of
Rheims and therefore the German
plan to tie up and split the enemy re-
serves has failed" He says incident
ally that American aid has happened
to flow somewhat freer than anticipat-
ed and Marshal Foch Is thereby able
to deliver his blow"
Says Allied Success vii! Continue.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-08-27
German War Experts Now Try
to Explain :'Victorious Repulses"

, It is no longer fight for lines, but
for deep zones, this critic says, and
the task of the German army is to
destroy the enemy's-- forces within
these zones. He insists the strateg
ic success will be denied Marshal
Foch because the preliminary condi-
tions for success "are lacking but the
battle, he thinks, will continue for a
long time.
The Tageszeitung's writer follows
another line of thought and believes
that ''the next few days must show
that Marshal Foch needs breathing
space, as strategically he has already
lost the battle and the enemy's losses
are enormous"
Herr Schuermann writing for the
Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung,
graphically explains why the Franco
British gain of territory is really a
loss, and shakes his head over ~the
poor deluded Americans, who in their
pride came over to dictate peace in a
few weeks and now instead of a brief
adventure, find themselves involved
in battles which will be hard and
long" This, he imagines, must be a
terrible disappointment to them.
The Rhenisch Westphalian Gazette
corresp pondent, Baron Won der Osten,
fills a column with "justifiable hope"
that the German army will be unbeat-
able, although he is not very comfort
able about it, for he says: THE battle
is very hard and the enemys superior
ity in men and material is very great"

REPORT CAPTURE
OF GERMAN Who
SANK LUSITANIA
Taken by British After Sub
Torpedoed Steamer-Was
Reported Dead.
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Aug. 27.-Lieut. Schwieger,
the man who sank the Lusitania, has
been captured by French patrol boat
in the Mediterranean, according to La
Journal. A large submarine, of which
he was second in command, had just
torpedoed a British steamer between
Malta and Sicily. The German was
waiting to see the vessel sink when
two French patrol boats emerged
from the fog and sank the U-boat. OF
the crew of IS only one officer and
four men were rescued by the patrol
boats
While being taken to Toulon, the
officer appeared Ill at ease. When he
thought no one was looking, he tried
to throw some papers overheard but
sailor seized his arm. He refused
to answer questions but an examina
tion Of the papers explained his un.
easiness.
La Journal asks If the man who
committed "the most vile, the most
barbarous and the most cowardly act
| In the annals Of war" Is merely to be
sent to a prison camp.
A dispatch from Toulon last Friday
| which described the sinking of a Ger
men submarine in the Mediterranean
by patrol boats, added that the mate
OF the submarine attempted to com.
| NIT suicide when brought on board the
rescue ship. The man appeared to be
insane and was reported to have de
clared that the last U-boat had tor
pedoed the Lusitania.
The German admiralty, according to
dispatch from London, Aug. 10, has
admitted that Lieut.. Schwieger was
killed when a U-boat that he com
manded struck q mine in the North
Sea. The dispatch said that his death
| occurred in September, 1916

BRITISH GAINS MADE
AT SMALL COST
fBy Associated Press)

LONDON, Aug 27-Interesting COM
parison between the results achieved
on the British and French fronts in
the Somme area with those of the first
battle of the Somme are made by a
military expeV here. He points out
that in four months from July l to
October 81. 1916. the British won A
square miles of land. In four days be-
tween August q and August 25 the
British won 116 square miles with cas-
aulties amounting to only $4,000.
In other words, he says, between
two and three times as much ground
has been taken at an infinitely small
Ter cost. In the four days under dis
cussion the British won much more
territory than both the British and
French armies recovered during the
whole first la of the Somme.

CANDIDACY OF
FORD FEATURE
OF PRIMARIES
Race of Auto Manufacturer
for Michigan Senatorial
Nomination Interests u. S.
(By Associated Press)

DETROIT, Aug. 27. - With the
double race of Henry Ford, Detroit
automobile manufacturer, for the re-
publican and democratic senatorial
nominations, the outstanding feature,
Michigan polls opened today for the
primary at which are to be chosen
candidates for the November state,
congressional and senatorial elections.
Indications Of fair, cool weather prom
ised a large vote in most sections of
the lower and upper peninsulas.
Unique in the annals Of Michigan
political history because one Of the
most prominent men of the state is
seeking a double candidacy, another
touch of the unusual is added by the
refusal of Ford, former governor
Chase s. Osborn, William G. Simpson
and Truman H. Newberry, his two re-
publican opponents. to conduct any
appreciable active campaign for the
domination.
Steadfastly, through the days that
followed his brief announcement in
Washington that he would be a candi-
date at the request of President Will
son, Ford has refused to conduct any
personal campaign whatever. Like
wise, Commander Newbury, of the
Third U. S. Naval district, has not
been inside the state since announce
ment of his candidacy was made by a
committee of Detroit and Michigan
men.
Former Governor Candidate
Former Governor Osborn has con-
fined his drive fer the nomination to
few speeches and an occasional
statement to the press. James w.
Helms, former state dairy commission
er, his sole democratic candidate, has
made no active campaign. Aside from
the race for SENATOR William Alden
Smiths seat, interest in the primary
lags. Governor Albert E. Sleeper, re-
publican, has no opposition for re-
nomination and the eleventh hour ef-
forts of republican leaders to defeat
Lieut.. Gov. Lucien D. Dickinson for
denomination by writing on the bal
lot the name of David E. Heinemann,
of Detroit, is not expected by politi-
clans generally to appreciably affect
the voting.
John w Bailey of Battle Creek, are

Joseph w. Fordney, Louis c. Cram
ton, Gilbert A. Currie, Frank D. Scott,

OILS, congressman. all have opposition
for denominations.
Returns are expected to be DELAYED
Ia some sections because of the late
closing of polls.
