.Up Go The Paper Stocks

TFrom the New York lierald.l
Canadian newsprint manufacturers
are expecting an exceedingly profit
able year at the expense of the news
paper publishers of the United States.
That fact became apparent yesterday
on the Montreal Stock Exchange
when the securities of various Can
adian paper mills enjoyed abnormal
increases in value under the impetus
of heavy buying.
Buying of paper mill stocks fol-
lowed the receipt OF advices from
New York that newspaper publishers
were being compelled to syn con-
tracts for their supplies of newsprnt
for next year ut prices ranging much
higher than those for the current
year.
Because of the constantly increas-
ing cost of newsprint paper the
newspaper publishers of the United
States have real zed that radical
steps must be taken Already many
of the smaller newspapers, eaoh
valuable in it's own territory in tho
dissemination of news and the form
ling of public opinion, have beer
| ity to obtain paper.
The larger and more powerful pa
I pers are feeling the pinch and must
| find relief. Congress may be asked
II to limit the size of newspapers
Other forms of relief suggested in
clude AM increase in the price of the
printed newspaper and an increase

Paying q Historic Penaliu

From the Wilkes-Barre Record1
Commenting on the publication
OF documents and papers found in

us to responsibility for the war. the
German newspaper Vorwaerts SAYS,
referring to the former Kaiser:
1T will be quite clear that with
this man at the head of affairs Ger
many was bound some day to get
into u war and lose it The German
nation is now paying the world a
historic penalty for its offense,
which consisted in this, that they
allowed him TO rule
The newspaper Norwaerts has all
ways been on the outs with Hohen-
zollern government, but what it
says in this instance is confirmed by
plain admissions from Germans of
prominence who formerly were glad
enough to lick the hand of the Kais-
er In the light of evidence that can
not be contradicted and of docu-
ments that cannot be denied, the
truth stands out in the glare of the
limelight despite the former Kafser's
desperate attempt to absolve HIM
self from responsibility. Any per-
son who is capable of thinking might
know without any evidence at all
that ruler having the power of the
Kaiser would not permit his country
TO he plunged into war without his
knowledge and consent or without
his planning. The documents mere
~ add confirmation to what was pre-
Viously known.

WILSON RESPONSIBLE

T HE responsibility for the sugar
shortage and for the high
prices that will accompany any
increase in the supply is chargeable
directly to the President personally
and to him alone. In the course of
his Investigations into the sugar sit
uation, Senator McNary, of Oregon,
chairman of the sugar subcommit-
tee, has become convinced that
there was no need whatever for the
sugar famine to which the country
has been subjected. So long ago as
August IA the president of the
Sugar Equalization Board, Mr.. Ia
briskie, addressed a letter to Mr.. Will
son, in which he urged the imme-
diate purchase of the Cuban crop.
Accompanying that letter was a
written communication from repre-
eentatives of the Cuban planters ten
dering to this country the entire
wealth of their production under
such terms as may be agreed upon
by the contracting parties at u
price moderate, but compensating to
abe producer and well within the
economic reach of the consumer
Seven of the eight members of the
board recommended the acceptance
OF that offer.
The letter reached the President
and its receipt was acknowledged.
No move having been made by the
Executive, the Equalization Board
sent him another letter, under date OF
September 20, referring TO their for
mer communication and calling at
bention to the imperative necessity
Of early action if the United States
was to acquire the Cuban crop be-
sore its acquisition by foreign buy

nor has anything been done by Mr.

Let Us Remember

When Welcomes cheers have died;

Are sifted through our common
daily life.
When khaki garb is doffed for work
again,
And as distant dream, becomes
the strife,
Shall we allow the flame that fires
and thrills
Our grateful souls to-day with
fervent praise
Die out of sheer neglect or ease
that frills
The fat, plethoric hours of peace
full days?
When No Mans Land is every man 8
And underneath the flower-dotted
The dust of those who died long
years ago
Has mingled with the earth -
their souls with God;
When children, vet unborn, play on
the grass,
And from the mounds the gold
eyed daisies pull
Shall we, absorbed in other things
that pass,
Forget the men who paid our
debts-in full?
If we forget them and our hearts
grow cold.
AS Time marks out length of
years between.
What shame for US if what they
thought pure gold
OF love be tinsel that the years

Let us remember faithful each day.

No Mandate For Armenia

AN ASSET OF THE CITY

THE Harrisburg Hotel Company,
owner of the Penn Harris, hav-
ing declared a dividend of four
per cent. for the first eleven months
of its operation, those who put their
money into the enterprise may feel
that they not only performed a duty
to the community, but made good
investment as well.
Few people this time last year
would have believed it possible to
have made such a splendid showing
in so short time. The first few
months in the lie of any hotel are
subject to all manner of expenses
and unusual outlays. Many of the
best hotels in the country failed %
show a profit at first. But the Penn
Harris made money from the very
start and gives every promise of be-
coming one of the best investments
in the city.
This must be most gratifying to
the men who gave so much of their
time, energy and money TO the new
enter pIlSeS espSSldllS III We" VI the
fact that the Penn Harris was
erected and opened to the public
during the trying circumstances of
the great war, when material en-
bargoes, labor shortage and all man
ner of difficulties entered into the
situation. They went into the hotel
proposition primarily to provide a
new hotel for the city and only sec
ondarily to make money. That they
have accomplished both to really
remarkable degree is a rare tribute
TO their patriotism and business sa-
gacity. That the hotel is constantly
over-crowded is proof also that the
travelling public appreciates what
has been done here.

The statement. on authority of

cording to an account of industrial

ment cannot fail to be eminently
satisfactory to German interests, as
the proposal under consideration
contemplates extensive exchange of

Knor Proposes Peace Status

From the Scranton Republican,
Interest in the Peace Treaty was
revived in the United States Senate
on Saturday, when Senator Knox, OF
Pennsylvania, presented two resolu-
tions on the subject.
The first of these declares in favor
of ratification of the treaty of YER
sailles, in so far only as it provides
for the creation of status of peace
between the United States and Ger
many" and the second proposed that
between the United States and Ger
many" Both resolutions require
joint action by the Senate and House,
and approved by the President.
Senator Underwood, Democrat, OF
Alabama, expressed himself in favor
of direct action for a status of peace,
leaving the League of Nations for
later consideration.
Upon an objection by Senator
Hitchcock, the Knox resolutions went
over, under the rules, but 1t is ex-
pected that they will be called up
again this week.

Cutting Europe Adrift

From the New York Herald
The American peace delegation
has left Paris finally. The United
States TO all intents and purposes
officially has severed its connection
with the post -bellum management
of Europe. The Supreme Council of
Five is reduced to the Supreme
Council of -Four. and so far as the
Americans are concerned the Su-
preme Council will cease to exist after
the signing of the hungarian Peace
Treaty. 1t has been a long. me-
morable struggle fraught with bit
terness, temper and national as we'll
as international anger. IL is safe to
say that never before has the cause
of peace been so fractured and
violated in the making thereof.

pound means an additional ex-
penditure by the public of SS0.0OO.-
600 and an added cost of ten cents
pound means u tax on the people
of SS01 100000. Senator McNary be-
lieves that had the President seen
fit to adopt the recommendations of
the seven members of the Equaliza-
ton Board. instead of following the
advice of the one dissenting mem
ber, the people would not only have
received sufficient supply of sugar,
but would have been saved hundreds
of millions of dollars on the price.
Attorney General Palmer, true to
his partisan promptings, undertakes
to put the blame for the shortage
upon the Republican Congress,
claiming that he had been denied
both the power and the facilities
for obtaining tangible results" Mr..
McNary contends that that charge
is far from the truth. The facts
are that the President, through the
Equalization Board. was possessed OF
ample authority to acquire the Gu
ban sugar crop. lie also commanded
the funds with which to make the
purchase, consisting of an original
appropriation from the President $
emergency fund of $4,000 ,000, plus
about SS0.000.000 profit made on the
purchase and sale of last years
