NOTICE

In accordance with government
orders, we have been compelled to
discontinue sending The Record to
some of our subscribers this week.
Until such a time as they pay up
back subscription accounts and make
payment in advance The Record
cannot be sent to them.
Notice has been given through the
columns Of The Record for six weeks
and very few subscribers have paid
no attention TO it, which leaves US
with the conclusion that they do not
care to have it continued. These are
owing various sums, which we shall
be compelled to place with a local
justice for collection il they are not
adjusted with us at once. We very
much dislike to discontinue these
subscribers, and much more dislike
the idea Of being compelled to force
but our instructions from
the government are such that we are
compelled to obey. This is a war
measure in the interests Of news
print conservation. In the past two
years the cost Of print paper has in
creased almost threefold.
The orders to the newspapers are
such that IL not obeyed, they will be
unable to get paper on which to print
news. We must live up to them.

day. The warrants charge interfer-
ing with the quarantine at the Wor-
den home in this city

burgh and DR.. Holcomb entered pleas
Of not guilty. They were released
on their personal recognizance to ap-
pear Friday, November 5. The two
were represented by Attorney Chas.

much other naval work aside from that
OF taking over and guarding German and
Austrian naval vessels, remains to be
done Removal of the thousands of mines
laid by the allied, American and German
navies viii form no small part Of this
work and undoubtedly the feet of mine
sweeping and laying craft sent overseas
| by the United States will assist in this
task. The greatest mine field is that put

against German submarines. The mines
were manufactured in this country and
were laid largely by American ships.
With the return Of all German subma-
rines to their bases, allied and American
shipping once more may sail the seven
seas without fear of molestation and in
disregard of the regulations made neces.
sary by Germany's Unrestricted warfare.
There will be no more running at night
without lights, with its attendant dan
gers of collision and zig tagging and de-
Walton from established shipping route,
Much of the shipping used for war
purposes will be freed for peace time
commerce and there win follow a grad
ual relaxation of the restrictions as to
food and other necessities imposed upon
the peoples of the allied countries. These
changes will not eope Immediately, how
ever, for it is the purpose of the Amer
lean and entente governments 20 coop
crate with Germany, Austria, Bulgaria
and Turkey, as well as with Belgium,
Serbia and Rumania in furnishing as
far as possible the food and other sup
plies necessary for the civilian popula-
ton of those countries.

important as they are must be adjusted
as they develop. They could not be
planned in advance as has been the
breaking up the military forces of the
United States, Great Britain, France and
the orderly return Of the millions of sol
diers to their civilian status.
In this country the problem has been
taken up with reference to its two chief
phrases; The strictly military, having
to do with the rehabilitation of the
army and los safe return to America and
the Industrial which deals only with the
infilteration of the soldiers to the ranks
of labor after they have been released
from the army, A third problem Of de-
mobilization will deal with the modified
industries of the United States.
