Marion, July 23.-'sEarnest hope"
that republican members Of the Ten
nessee legislature will support rati-
fication Of the women's suffrage
amendment, was expressed today by
Senator Harding in telegram to
John C. Houk, q republican member
OF the senate Of that state.
The message was sent in reply to
one from Senator Houk, asking for
advice, and was AS follows:
81 have your message asking me If
would advise that the republicans

ratification OF the women's suffrage
amendment,
1T is my earnest hope that the re-
publicans in the Tennessee legisla-
ture, acting upon solemn convictions.
can see their way clear to give their
support to this amendment. believe
in suffrage; our party has endorsed
8 it in our national platform; twenty
nine republican states have ratified
the amendment; but one more state
is needed to enfranchise every loyal
American woman, and 1t would be
gratifying to me personally If the
republican members Of the Tennes-
see legislature accomplished that en-
franchizement."

U. S. Hopes to
Keep Out of Nelu
European War

Washington, July 23.--Without Of
ficial information regarding the de-
eision Of the allied powers to furnish
military aid to Poland in her struggle
with the bolsheyiki, government Of
ficials officially professed to see in
the new situation most of the ele-
ments Of a broad scale European
war.
There was no disposition to assume
that President Wilson would involve
the United States in war between
the bolshevilki and the allies unless
there was some overt act against the
army ~ occupation on the Rhine.
1t was believed that unless the Ger
man radical element gained the as
tendency the chances Of the United
states becoming involved were slight,
altho suggestion of American CO.
operation from France and Great
Britain wos regarded as probable.

Land to Relieve Problem.
New York. July 23--There Is
promise that largely thru American
initiative, the oil problem. which now
worries the world, may soon be
solved.
South America is the promised
land
That the continent is rich In petrol
cum beds the reports of geologists,
German, British, French and Ameri-
can, testify. There are various oil
fields in Venezuela, Peru and other
sections of northern South America
now in process of development, but
the great oil lakes appear to be
farther south anu some Of them in
regions so remote that they have
commanded comparatively little at
tention. If these big oil pools are
tapped there is probability that the
petroleum supplies will be sufficient
for the needs of the nations for a
long time to come.
One large British company has
obtained considerable oil land in
eastern Peru and northeastern
Bolivia. 1t is the purpose OF these
Interests to pipe this oil to point on
the Amazon where it can be shipped.
A much larger project Is that OF
which William Braden is the head.
Mr.. Braden is the American engineer
who developed the Braden copper
mines ii Chile the second largest
copper property Of the world, and
who developed and later sold the
Santiago. the Andes and other COPS
per properties to the Anaconda ,Cop-
per Company. He Is the head OF the
Notwithstanding Exploration Cor
poration which. thru option, has OBJ
tanned 5,s97.s75 acres Of land in
southeastern Bolivia. where the OIL
signs are pronounced.

SOUTHERN MINERS ATTACKED.

Williamson, w. Va, July 23.-Two
miners were wounded today when
the Portsmouth Solvay Coal Com
pany's mine at Freeborn was attack
ed by persons hidden In the hills on
the West Virginia and Kentucky
side of the Tug river. A detach-
ment Of the state constabulary, with
bloodhounds, was Immediately sent
from Williamson to the scene Of the
shooting.
Z According to stories reaching here
from Freeborn, the men were hand
ling coal from the mouth of the
mine, which is on the Kentucky side
OF the river, to the railroad tracks in
West Virginia, when the firing be-
gan, shots coming from party hl-
den In the West Virginia hills and
from two parties in Kentucky.
Guards stationed at the mine are
said to have returned the fire, but
the attacking parties were not driven
off until two of the workmen had
been wounded. one seriously. vt was
estimated by men at the mine that
fully 1000 shots were fired.

LOOK TO ALASKA FOR PULP.

Big Forests May Help Overcome De-
pleted Production Of Newsprint.
Washington, July 23.-Depietion of
the forest supply in the northeastern
and lake states is responsible for the
report made public by the department
of agriculture, which was asked by
the senate to make thorough in
quiry. The four sorts of timber most
used in paper making hem
lock, balsam and poplar-were orig
inally found most plentifuily in the
regions mentioned and, as a conse-
quence, the newsprint industry was
overcentralized in close proximity to
the source Of supply.
1t has been possible for the lumber
industry to follow the timber supply
but, due to the expensive equipment
required for the manufacture of
newsprint, it has not been practicable
for the paper mills to do this, and
in only q few instances now are there
more than fey years supply within
a profitable distance OF, the mills.
1t is reported that in New York,
where nearly 30 per cen tof our news
print is produced, 60 per cent Of the
pulp and paper mills have absolutely
no timber supplies Of thEtr--sn. For
these mills there seems to be z-.ier
prospect than to close down in a
comparatively few years. In New
Hampshire, the coniferous pulpwood
has been cut heavily, and ten -
twelve years will see the end Of the
supply.
Aside from the state preserve in
New York, in which no cutting is al
lowed, the bulk Of the coniferous
pulpwood in the east is in Maine.
One company there has enough TIM
Der for forty or sixty years cut. 9th
ers are estimated to have enough to
last fifteen or twenty years, but there
are about fifteen companies wi
have no lands of their own and who
will have difficulty in purchasing ma
terial within ten years.
In general, pulp and paper mills
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1920-07-23

are becoming more and more depend
ent upon Canadian timber, the report
shows, and. such dependence is re-
garded as extremely dangerous due to
the prohibition upon exports which Is
already coming into vogue in various
sections OF Canada.
"Prior to the war" says the re-
port, "the larger newspapers op-
tained all, or practically all OF their
supply Under contract, and rela-
lively small percentage OF the total
|newsprint consumption was handed
on q spot market basis. In the last
year the larger papers have found II
increasingly difficult to obtain all OF
their supplies under contract and
have been forced to obtain the re-
mainder in the open market. It IL In
the open market that the full enect
Of competition for inadequate sup
plies Is shown, and this is reflected
in the much. higher prices"
The only things, the department
finds, that can assure production OF
even approximate domestic require
ments are concerted efforts to In
crease tho production OF pulPwoods
In the northeast and the development
OF the newsprint industry in the west
and in Alaska,
The timber on the Tongass Ma
'tional Forest, In Alaska, is said by
the report to be Of particular i'm
portance in connection with sthe
newsprint situation. It is estimated
that there are about 10000, ,000. 900
board feet Of Sitka spruce and west
ern hemlock we'll suited for paper
making. The timber is In compare
lively narrow bel, along 1920 miles
or more of coast line. Water power Is
available, as also deep water trans
.portation from various mill sites.
ut is estimated says the report,
that tile cut from this region alone
will insure a perpetual supply lnrge
enough to meet one-half sof the pres-
ent newsprint requirements of the
United States. Alaska is cne Of the
centers to which the newsprin. ins
dustry OF the United States should
look for a large future development.
The same is true of othep centers III
the west, where immense resources
of pulpwood supply are now almost
wholly undeveloped. Much of this
timber is in the national forests.
