 Opposition to the measure came chieny rom the representatives of the larger newspapers, who declared L11: restriction on the size would do little to remedy the situation resulting from the shortage of paper and would serve only to work a great if not fatal hard ship on the large newspapers. o1 the country.
 The bill was supported by publish CTS of small newspapers vino declared they would be forced to suspend pub lication unless something ere done. In opening the hearing, Representative Anthony of Kansas, auhor of the bill. declared that from 2.500 to a000 small newspapers face suspension and per haps extinction should the present shortage of news print paper continue. | The shortage, the Kansas representa- tive charged. was due to the action of the great publishing concerns in buy ing uo practically the entire availab ble supply.
 Speaking for the Chicago Tribune. a large user of paper. J. Medill Patter- son declared that the twenty -four page restriction would affect only fifty to | sixty newspapers, but to put it into | effect immediately would bankrupt many of the papers. The larger pa | pers, he told the committee were will l ing to accept a 10 per cent. cut but l nf

WAR TIME EXPENDITURES
 HAS PRIORITY IN HOUSE

Washington, Dec. 15.--Twelve roll calls interspersed With charges and counter charges, extending over two legislative days, brought adoption late today in the house of a special rule permitting immediate consideration of the report of the committee which in vestigated war time expenditures of the war department.
 Democratic members throughout the two sessions waged a hard fight to prevent consideration of the report which they asserted made no specific charges and was only a series of veil cd hints at fraud. In reply republi- can representatives charged the dem ocrats with blocking proceedings ''to conceal the fraud and incompetency of the war department.
 The report, which was filed several weeks ago by the committee of which Representative Graham of Illinois is chairman. attacked war department officials for alleged wasteful eXpendi- ture of money and suggested reopen ing of all claims for uneXpired con- tracts settled by the war department and submission of these claims to all impartial board for final approval. Representative Campbell, republi can, Kansas, speaking on the proposa ! to permit consideration of the report 1 renewed his attack on R. H. Long. democratic candidate in the recent gu l bernatorial election in Massachusetts declaring that millions of dollar: were taken from the people and turn 1 ed over to such men as R. H. Long. a 1 democratic politician, and a favoritt 1 with the war department, who gor
 more than a million dollars in clear | graft"
 Representative Jeffries. Nebraska. l republican member of the committee declared that the war departmen bought 945,000 saddles and 1000. %,
 sets of harness for an army whicf i had only 391 900 horses and mules. 1 Representative Garrett, Tennessee | democratic members of the committed defending the war department, sait speedy settlement of unfinished wa contracts had been essential to tn welfare of the country.
 'In hundreds of cases" said Repre- sentative Garrett. "the character o
 the institutions and factories at whicl these contracts had been filled was al most completely changed by reason o their war contracts. Commercial pro duction was abandoned and every en ergy and facility had been bent ol supplying war needs. It was of su Ipreme importance to the public tha these institutions might return to peace basis and again enter commer cia1 production, giving employment t labor and supplying the peace need of the country.
