KING ATTACKS
PAPER PROFIT
Urges Attorney General to
Prosecute Large Manu-
facturers Of Newsprint.
fBy U.iversaI serviee.)

Senator King, OF Utah, yesterday
called upon Attorney General
Palmer and urged him to begin
prosecution of large manufacturers
of newsprint in the United States
on the ground that they were en-
gagged in an illegal conspiracy to
keep the price of print paper at an
excessive figure. with the result
that many small publishers were
being crowded to the wall.
During my recent trip through
the West" said Senator King. II
was urged by many publishers TO
seek such a prosecution. There is
every reason to believe that news
paper publishers are profteerIng.
and many small publishers told me
they were being driven to the wall
by the price of paper and that
frequently they were permitted to
purchase only q few pounds at q
time at any~price."
Attorney General Palmer took the
matter under advisement and will
conditions before taking
any legal action.

desire that our army, while small" :"

likely to be realized in one important
respect. By that time Uncle Sam

When we entered the war in 1917,
the United States army hardly knew
the meaning of the term intel

a branch tucked away in a remote
corner of the War Department. Its
Importance can be judged from the
fact that the division" consisted of
couple of officers and a stenog-
