Above you have the words of Miss

City Club, who recently has come
from Ireland to make her home with
her sister in Washington

THE atrocities of the German
soldiers were no worse than the
atrocities that have been perpetrsted
in Ireland" she charges.
Miss o'Toole left Ireland on August
o, seven days before McSwiney was
arrested and taken to Brixton prison.
A few days prior to that she heard
Terrence McSwiney speak at Dublin.
She doesn't know what he said be-
cause Ahe spoke in Gaelic. and Miss
o'Toole doesn't understand Gaelic.
sCoRN -FEEDING- THEORY.
Miss o'Toole regards with scorn
any suggestion that McSwiney Is be

'In the first place the nuns who

Congress Action.

On account OF the slight lowering
OF the cost OF living. much opposition
is expected at the coming session OF
Congress 20 the proposed reclassih-
cation legislation.
Rumors are rife in many OF the
Government departments among the
officials that the members OF Con-

this argument as a bar 10 the pas
sage OF any measure which will in
crease the Government payroll.
EMPLoYEs NET LOSERS.
I'm their widest hopes. the govern
ment employees never expected to re.
ceiye salaries In keeping with the
cost OF uvins." Luther c. Steward,
president of the National Federation
OF Federal Employer said today,
when asked about the rumor. "Un-
less prices go back to what they were
several years ago. the employees OF the
government will be net losers on any
salary increase that Congress may
give"
Government employees have been
banking on some favorable action by
Congress ever since the Reclassifica-
tion Commission began hearings. This
new turn OF affairs has them worry
ing.
BARELY ABLE TO LIVE"
They say fhat the salaries agreed
upon by the Reconsideration Commits
sion do not compare favorabIy with
the salaries paid in private employ,
and II any attempt Is made by Con-
gress to prune these figures down, or
to ignore them altogether, they will
be barely able to meet living condi-
tions.
1t Is not known what members OF
Congress will use the lower cost Of
living as a method OF defeating sal
ary increases, and IL is probable that
the Federal employees will make a
canvass of the members of Congress
soon after the session begins to as
certain the sentiment.

FOREST SERVICE
SEES PAPER FAMINE
SURVEY OF WOOD PULP RE-
SOURCES SHOWS NEED OF
IMMEDIATE CONSERVATION
PLANS

WASHINGTON.-In less than 20
years 95 per cent of the pulp and pa
per mills of the country, mainly those
in the East, will have practically ex-
hausted their supplies of spruce, hem
lock, and fr-the principal woods
from which the paper on which news
papers are printed is made.
The annual cutting of these woods
in the New England states and New
York is approximately 100000 cords,
and at this rate the supply will last
approximately seventeen years. The
estimated annual cutting in the lake
states is 100000 cords, and if con-
tinued will exhaust the supply in that
region within 10 years. Pennsylva-
mia, Maryland, Virginia and North
Carolina, with their smaller forest re-
sources, are even worse off, the annual
cutting being calculated at 1,47O,OOO
cords, at which rate the spruce, hem
lock and fir will last but ten years.
Only in Alaska, Washington, Oregon
and California are the reserves in no
immediate danger of exhaustion, if the
cutting continues at the present rate
of 2,218,000 cords year.
These figures, of special interest be-
cause of the present paper shortage,
are included in estimates compiled by
the forset service of the United States
department of agriculture. The data
accumulated gives additional empha-
sis to the demand for a nationwide
policy that will put privately owned
forests on a permanently productive
basis and will also result in utilizing
mill waste for paper making.
Up to ten years ago the United
States was self supporting with re-
gard to newsprint, but within the last
decade the consumption has exceeded
home production and promises to do
so increasingly. In view of this stu
alton two alternatives present them
selves, according to forest service eX-
perts and representative of large
wood-using industries. The country
must depend increasingly upon Can
ada, eventually abandoning many of
its own mills, or the nations policy
with regard to its private forests
must be radically changed. Canada
now has ninety paper and pulp mills
which produce approximately 2,10O
tons of paper a day, of which 50 per
cent is available for export Of all
supplies of paper, wood and pulp used
by the United States about one-third
now comes from Canada.

CAPPER WARNS

Observation-Disclosures cities
may go hungry before many years
unless congress does something to
keep the farmer on the farm, Senator
Capper, Kansas, told the senate on
Tuesday in speech.
"Some Indication of the way in
which the farmers are getting away
from the country is supplied by the
United States department of agricul-
ture from recent survey of BITS
farms in New York." he said. CIT
was disclosed that there had been a
decrease in the number of people on
the farms in the last year of 3 per
cent, and that the number of hired
men had decreased II per cent.
''If the ratio holds good for the
state, it means that $4,000 men have
left the farms in this one state to go
to the cities
"They are getting out OF business
that has been the goal of law makers,
middlemen and profteers in the last
three years, and going toward the
great white way, to add still more
hungry mouths to the population that
farms must feed.

belt indicate a decline in pork produc-
ton, estimated as high as 25 per cent:
