SITUATION GROWS BAD

(! UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
NEW YORK, Feb. 26--The present
news print famine" cannot be ended.
/ in fact. will grow worse. until all
publishers realize that suggested econ,
omy and conservation measures are
directly applicable to them. l.. B. Pal
mer, manager of the American News
paper Publishers association said
| today.
Most newspapers have adopted
some form Of conservation, such as
reducing their size and raising adver-
tising rates, but the news print famine
will continue to grow until all carry
this much further and put into effect
more stringent and uniform conserVa-
ltion measures" Palmer declared.
"The trouble is that many publish
ers feel they are exempt. They must
be made to realize that the various
plans suggested for relief of present
conditions apply to them personally,
just as the no smoking and no ad-
mittance' signs with the popular
postscript, 'This Means You"
The A. N. r. A., of course, has no
mandatory powers Its efforts in the
news print situation are necessarily
confined to an educational campaign.
We are constantly collecting informa.
tion from all parts of the. country as
to what successful measures have
been put into effect by certain news
papers and distribute this knowledge
for the benefit of all. .
THE news print industry is in the
same position as housing. The de-
mand which spurted Immediately after
the hostilities ceased in the world
war far outstripped the supply and it
may take from two to four years for
the two laws--"supply .-.ld demand"
to become correlated again.
'The greatly increased demand for
news print, is due of course, to the
growth in advertising
This, in turn, is the direct result of
the education the country received
during the war in the value of news
paper advertising as compared with
all other methods. l doubt very much
if the present boom in advertising will
ever recede to any great extent.

SO Her Y. N. c. A. Husband

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 20
United States department Of labor

on today to square the war-love tri'
angle Of Lee Shippey, writer and lee
turer. ,Es. -
Mile. Madeleine Babin. whose re-
turn to France has been asked of
authorities, names Ship
pey as the father of her expected
child. Shippey is married and has a
wife here.
Secret testimony taken in the de-
portation proceedings has been for
warded to Washington authorities
for a decision. a..
Shippey, a Y. M. c. A. secretary in
France, became the Godfather Of the
Babin family when Madeleine's father
died. He advised the family that he
had a wife in America but rarely
spoke of home, according to the tes-
timony reported.
When Shippey returned from
France, he told his wife of his love
for the French girl and asked her
for divorce, he says. Mrs Shippey
refused.
Madeleine arrived in America and
came direct to Kansas City last No
vember. She advised Shippey of her
condition and he again pleaded for a
divorce from Mrs. Shippey 50 he
could give a name to the expected
child" Mrs Shippey offered to ac-
cept the child as her own, but re-
fused to recognize the French girl
Proceedings which may result in
the mother-to-be returning to France,
followed.
Mrs Shippey is now i'll with acute
neuriis which, physicians say, is due
to the severe mental shock. There
is nine year old son.

Debt and Restore LA
bility for 90 Per Cent.

Washington, Feb 26-In a new peace
proposal TO the great powers, reported
in official dispatches received here
soviet Russia pledges establishment OF
democratic principles in Russia and the
calling of constituent assembly.
1t promises further to withdraw the
decree annulling Russa's foreign debt
restoring 60 per cent Of the liability
and also to pay arrears OF interest
giving as guarantee for the fulfilment
of its obligations considerable mining
concessions Of platinum and silver to the

In return and in addition to the
formal peace treaties, the soviet govern
ment would require Great Britain and
other countries to abandon all lnterven-
tion in Russian affairs. It also proposes
that the United States allow a credit TO
Russia. conditioned upon considerable
concessions in that country.
Seeking Separate Peace All Along.
A dispatch from London. quoting a
Moscow radio message, said the soviet
government had made new peace over
lures to the United States, Japan and
Rumana. No such proposals had reached
the state department and officials were
unable to say whether the peace sug-
gestion contained in the other official
advices as outlined above were those re-
ferfed TO In the MOSCOW TaalObfdUl
The suggestion that the United States
had been coupled with Japan and Ruma-

with some surprise. lit was assumed,
however that the new offer was in line
with the consistent policy Of the soviet
government to attempt TO separate ne
gotiations with the allied and associated
powers.

Of this, it appeared probable that the
