News Print Shortage
 Acute Despite Imports

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Deslite importation of German and Scandi- navian paper in small quantities and the fact that domestic factories are being constructed, the shortage of news print is still acute and can only be combatted by strict conser- vation, according to statement by the paper committee of the Ameri- can Newspaper Publishers Associa- tion.
 The practice of conservation in past few months, however, the statement said, has been reflected in current quotations of the spot mar ket which have declined to about Il cents a pound with occasional futures quoted at 10 cents.
 For variously assigned reasons, certain manufacturers are offering less paper for contracts next year than they sold to American publish CTS this year, the statement con tinued.

Soviet Support Weakening
 In Remote Parts of Russia

TERIJOKI, Finland, Russian Front fer, Aug 21.-(By the Associated Press. .)-Development of the Soviet Government in Russia has been suca that today the vast Russian Terri tory is divided into three distinct sections in the attitude of the people toward Bolshevism.
 In recent f.OO0-mile trip across the country, from Vladivostok to the Finnish border the Associated Press correspondent observed that Soviet support diminishes with the increas' ing distance from the capital at Mos COW.
 In the remote eastern section oi Siberia the Bolsheviki admit failure to establish their system and arc seeking to create buffer state known as "the Far Eastern Repub lic."
 Siberia proper, from Irkutsk to the Urals, where eight months ago Bol from the Kolchak regime, Is ready for a change to anything which will bring economic betterment. Proceed ing westwerd. the traveller finds Eu ropean Russia, like a great army mobilized in starvation circumstances and cursing the Reds, yet executing their orders passively.
 The apportionment of food as wei as the relative proximity to the mil itary headquarters, apparently is { vital factor in maintaining Sovie support Everywhere through Siberii one hears stories that the peasants are refusing to plant their fields o raise stock because of repeated req uisitions.

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Aug. 2f.--- John Rutgard opened his campaign for election as Territorial Attorney General here last night speaking to bare handful of Ketchikan people. The meeting was distinct frost and even his friends admit that he made absolutely no impression.
 His hearers numbered 120 people. His speech was one of carping crit1- cism of Delegate George B. Grigby directed mainly against his record on the Jones Shipping Bill. It fell fiat No other point was attempted The entire speech was one of appeal for support from a partisan stand point containing nothing in the na- ture of constructive criticism nor no mention of any basis for support for himself for the office he seeks.
 There is only one opinion in this city regarding the speech and Rut- gard's visit. His visit like that oi Hughes to California was disastrous to himself; he would have done bet ter to have remained at home.
