Some larger newspapers have been
able to purchase an ample supply and
in some cases have more than the
requirements while smaller ones face
serious shortage which threaten
such suspension Of publication.

new plan, if accepted. will supereede
the present restriction Of the use of
news print which reduced the news
space in daily newspapers 81 per
cent. and Sunday editions 20 per
cent. Mr.. Baruch intimated he would
be in favor Of allowing each newspa

Queen Margherita's Fund for the

enough Of an appeal to win more than

Caruso sang his highest notes and
Mischa Elman played his violin with
all his magic fervor, but the apdence
seemed to have eyes for but one indi-

Flags hung from every stretch of
wall and arch in the opera house. The

There was an electric intensity in
the atmosphere, for in some manner II
had been whispered that Germany's re-

President was thinking 1t over. Then
after the cheers had lasted for minutes
the crowd discovered the orchestra was
playing the nationa. anthem of Italy
and those who continued to applaud
were Kissed little bit until they sub
sided. But when the music stopped the
cheering and applause for the Presi-
dent broke out afresh.
After Caruso and Elman, Burr Nc.

an auction sale with patriotic talk
that included a reference to the United
States marines as the "savors of the
world" and President Wilson rose tc
his feet with the others.
Then Mr.. Mcintosh asked his audi
