ab1LSiASio 1AAet SSAiu SVRACo5 C1 their paper free to employees now in the service of the United States, but paprs must not be sent to other in dividuals in camps or abroad unless the subscription has been paid by some one. Publishers must also dis continue the practice of exchanging papers with each other and must have bona-fide subscription for .every paper sent to another publish CT.
 These are among the explanations made by Thomas E. Donnelly, chief of the pulp and paper section of the war industries board, of the recent paper-saving order. MT. Donnelly declared that it is the intention to en- force the ruling very strictly, but in order to clarify some of the para graphs and not to work any hard ships on anyone a few explanations and some exceptions and modifica- tions have been necessary.
 The order of July 5, which went in to effect July 15, 1918, is as follows: < Discontinue the acceptance of the return of unsold copies.
 Discontinue the use of all samples or free promotion copies.
 Discontinue giving copies to any body except for office working cop ies or where required ny statute, like in official advertising . Discontinue giving free copies to vertisers, except not more than one copy each for checking purposes.
 Discontinue the arbitrary forcing of copies on newsdealers (i. e., com polling them to buy more copies than they can legitimately sell in order to hold certain territory.)
 Discontinue the buying back of papers at either wholesale or retail selling price from dealers or agents, in order to secure preferential repre- sentation.
 Discontinue the payment of sal aries or commissions to agents, deal CTS, or newsboys for the purpose of securing the equivalent of return privileges.
 Discontinue all free exchanges,
 Explaining that order, Chief Don nelley has made rulings in regard to free copies of papers to soldiers which modify the above order to this extent:
 Publishers can send copies of their paper free to their employees who are in the military servica of the United States.
 Publishers can send free copies to camp libraries of organizations re- cognized by the government, such as the Red Cross, Y. M. c. A. and the Knights of Columbus, but cannot send free copies to individual soldiers in camps.

Back from the front with no visible sign of the great conflict through which he has passed, and with the story of only minor gassing such as all boys on the firing line have experienced sooner or later, Sergeant Harry J. Kelly, Co. I, 104th regiment, has been spending furlough of sev- eral days with his parents MT. and Mrs. Henry Kelly of Town street, and with relatives and friends at North hampton, where the Kelly family formerly resided and where Sergeant Kelly was at the time a member of the police force.
 Sergeant Kelly went over with Go. I a year ago and has been with the company until his transfer to the United States just recently. When the Americans fought their first battle in the April offensive Co. I was oc- cupying the first line and had to help withstand an attack by the Prussian guards. The Germans were repulsed without having gained any entrance to the trenches.
 Later observers brought word that more troops were being assembled for further attack and Go. I with the rest was ordered to remain ready in the trenches all night. About 5 A. M., Bavarian shock troops, known by the white band on their sleeves, about 300 strong started to come over. These troops are used in making preliminary attacks, and after starting the fire- works usually retreat to the rear. In this particular instance the Allies barrage allowed only about 300 to re- tire. The others were killed or taken prisoners. The Prussian guards made the next attack but accomplished nothing, the few that succeeded in get | ting into the trenches being killed or captured.
 Sergeant Kelly confirmed the state ment taht the Germans were mostly happy at being captured, but says as far as he could see men of all ages are 1 being taken, not merely the very young or the very ould. In the April attacks the prisoners were men of Al to 45 years, while in the July offen-
 sive no one age prevailed.

 having the slightest suspicion con corning them It was started one morning under heavy enemy shel 1 fire. Go. l took a number of pris- oners on it's way to the front objective
