Q o'clock next Tuesday afternoon as the

NEWS-PRINT PAPER
USE TO BE CURTAILED
Publishers Association and
Defense Council Move to
Conserve Supply

washington. MafCn 80
The consumption OF print paper is TO
be curtailed forehandedly to the est!-
mated forthcoming supply TO prevent any
further shortage. it was announced to-
day by the Council of National Defense.
The action was taken at conference be-
tween the American Newspaper Publish
ers' Association and the commercial
economy board of the Council of Ma
tional Defense.
A statement issued by the council
said
At conference yesterday between
representatives Of the American News
paper Publishers Association and the
commercial economy board of the Coun-
ell of National Defense, it was decided
that the commercial economy board
should consider the desirability of
formulating program for the conserva-
ton of news print paper.
THE study will be similar to the
boards Investigations in the wool and
wooden clothing. paint. shoe and leather
and other industries. The probable fu
ture supplies Cf paper will be estimated
Then. through conferences and CORE
| spondence. publishers throughout tht
country will be consulted as to mean:
whereby news print might be conserved
without hardship. Information and ad-
vice will be sought from all interests
concerned. and IL the facts are found to
justify them, specific recommendations
will be issued by the board.
1T was stated that no drastic curtail-
ment was apparently necessary; that the
object was simply TO adjust the con-
sumption Of paper forehandedly to the
estimated forthcoming supplies, 50 as to
prevent, or at least mitigate, any pos
sible future shortages
THE American Newspaper Publishers
Association was represented in the con-
ference by IIopewell L. Rogers. of the

Are you doing
your part !!

United States Government has urged
business men to relieve the freight situation
u by employing motor trucks whenever possible,
that the railroads may move coal, food and emer-

Trucks cannot be operated efficiently and eco

must meet-even the best trucks made.
Pierce Arrow trucks are sold to fit the individual
businesses which they are to serve To assure this
we maintain efficient organization to study
ditions and see that the trucks make good. We
will not sell them otherwise We seek to become

ton our trucks are too valuable to us not to be
placed where they will create business for us

German Slavery
To Become Worse
After War Ends
What Returning Soldiers
May Expect Is Hinted by
Taskmasters

(Coyrespondence of The Associated Press)
AMSTERDAM, June 13.-What the
German soldier may expect from his
taskmasters when he returns home
from the war was limited at during the
recent meeting in Vienna of Austro-
German economic associations.
The principal object of the meeting
was to discuss and formulate common
social policy for the Central Powers,
but there. were apparently few sup
porters of any plans to change condi-
tions. Suggestions of a society based
on a stricter discipline than before the
war were applauded.
Professor Alfred Names, German
delegate, speaking with Teutonic blunt
ness, declared that Germany's social
legislation had proved it's worth fully
by "the splendid achievements and the
glorious bravery OF German storming
troops" He advocated adoption of a
common system for the assistance of
war victims, but added warningly that
"the spirit of the trenches must be-
come the spirit Of the factory"
every extension of social rights to
workers." he added, "must have a coun-
tervailing recognition on their part of
their social duties"
The former Austrian Minister of
Justice, Herr Klein, said that the idea
of closer Austro- German alliance was
a good one, but would not be furthered
if one party "always thrust itself into
the foreground with assertions of in
dependence" The speaker urged espe-
cially that the transition from war to
peace work be not made too abruptly.
Professor Ference, Of Budapest, pro-
posed as scheme for preserving the
man power of the Central Powers that
the emigration of Hungarian farm
hands be directed toward Germany in
stead Of toward the United States.
DR.. Won Seydler, the Austrian Pre-
mier,. painted in glowing colors the
benefits to be derived from closer
Austro- German alliance. Other speak
ers included DR.. Paasche, vice-presi-
dent Of the German Reichstag, and sew
