Southern Newspapers Agree
to Drastic Limitation of Space

of newspapers in their zeal to issue
their newspapers regularly in such
size as lavishly to print the news
of the world, with comment upon,
and Interpretation of it and also to
publish instructive and entertaining
matter dealing with every human
interest. have brought about an auc-
ton market for newsprint paper
which has, carried it's price above
the level of sanity, do therefore:
Resolve, That the Southern News
paper Publishers association. in
special convention assembled, urges
its membership to make an earnest
effort to reduce newsprint consump-
ton, beginning at once and contin-
uing through 1920, at rate of at
least 10 per cent as compared with
the consumption for July, August,
September and october of this year.
The association earnestly recon-
mends that all of the publishers of
the south in each competitive area
cooperate to the fullest possible ex-
tent to the end that every practi-
cal method of conservation of news
print and all other papers made
from wood pulp may be employed.
The association recognizes the
fact that the necessary conserva-
ton cannot be accomplished except
by the reduction of the size of
newspapers or a reduction of circu-
lation. The association recommends
that conservation be accomplished
chiefly by a reduction in the num-
Der of pages printed the number of
editions issued, the size of type. the
space of news heads, space for read
ing matter and illustrations, space
for advertising and pyramiding adj
vertising and increase in advertise
ing rates. and an increase in sub
scription rates with a view to cover
iHg the cost of white paper and the
expense of delivery to the sub
scriber
The association urges immediate
cooperation in each competitive
area in support of all the efforts
made by the committee on conser-
walton and conciliation. representing
the American Newspaper Publishers
association and this association.
The conservation and concil.ation
committee of, this association is
hereby directed to prepare a form
of report to be sent by the secre-
tary's office to all the members of
this association on which they are
requested to report weekly the ef-
forts for conservation and the actual
results achieved, summary of
these reports to be printed in the
association'S bulletins.

NO MEDIATION OFFER

Up until tonight the government had
received no official word or indication
of an offer of mediation by Argentine,
Brazil and Chile. and some officials
thought it doubtful if it would be Of
fered.
If such an offer came, the opinion of
the most officials who considered it
seems to believe it would be accepted
only under certain considerations,
which they thought Mexico would be
unwilling to accept.
Reports direct from Mexico City dis
credited yesterdays border rumors of
an uprising with lighting in the streets
served to simplify the situation In that
they removed one complicating factor
and left the issue a clean-cut one in
volving only the continued murder and
molestation of Americans.
There was no outward indication OF
whether President Wilson would touch
on the subject in his message to Con-
gress next week.
