Iowa Publishers Adopt
Stringent Measures to
Save Newsprint Paper

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 27.-Reso-
lutions to adopt measures conserving
newsprint paper in Iowa, were ac-
cepted at meeting of representa-
tivcs of most of the daily news
papers Of the state. The limiting
of the number of pages per issue,
the saving of 10 per cent of the
paper scheduled for newspapers, dis
couraging of any schedules to in
crease circulation or advertising
space are advocated.
The publishers declared it to be
their view that unless steps are
taken soon to save paper some of
the smaller publications will be
forced to suspend. The situation
is serious because less paper has
been produced than the papers of
Canada and the United States have
used in the last three months. and
there is now less than FIVE days
supply on hand, the publishers were
told.

Will Probe Awards
To Naval Officers
Continued From Page One,

to the dignity and Importance of
the forces operated, and the work
accomplished by them" to request
4 that the award to him of a navy
cross be cancelled. /
Admiral Mayo declared it was ev-
ident there had been "a miscon-
ceptlon" in considering recommen-
| datlons for decorations he made as
commander of the fleet, many of
which, he added, were not carried
out. The letter notes that no men,
| Der of Admiral Mayo's staff received
decoration except his chief of
staff and asserts that an admiraPs
success rests to large extent uoon
the loyalty, initiative and effici-
ency" Of his staff personnel"
Failure to recognize adequately
the service of men on such duty,
it said, creates an impression that
such duty is of minor Importance"
not comparable to command of a
single ship. Such an impression, it
said, would be- fatal to the devel-
opement of the navy as a fighting
machine"
Mayo Renews Recommendations.
Admiral Mayo renewed his recon-
mendations and urged that recon-
sideration be given meritorious
cases.
Admiral Decker's letter notes that
he had been awarded a navy cross
under the published list in recogni-
ton of his services as naval attache
at Madrid.
I'm my opinion" it says, "this
award is entirely inadequate to the
services that were performed by the
office of the naval attache and those
who worked with me. The effect
Of this work was to keep Spain from
entering the war against us at the
time of the. enemy March offensive
of 1918, also a reduction Of the sub
marine activities off the coast of
Spain. ~ While it may be
impossible to prove that the work
| done did produce the results
claimed, have been assured that
this is the case"
The letter commehds the services
OF r. j. Marion, w. A. Chadburn
and Mr.. Howell, who were associ-
ated with the writer, and declares
Admiral Decker cannot permit them
ito be taken so lightly"
IF my estimate is correct" it con-
