Will Be Lost in Japan
By the,Associated Press.

By thesAssociated Press.
The Commerce Department told
American wool pulp producers to-
day they faced complete loss of their
markets in Japan.
A department statement said the
japanese government had decided to
eliminate all wood pulp imports by
1912, and that straw, begasse and
soya bean substitutes were being
developed
Last year the United States
shipped s5,6OO0OO of bleached sui
phite wood pulp to Japan. In 1887
American exports were twice that.
The department also made public
a report from the American con-
sulate in Kobe saying there was a
great shortage of iron and steel,
which was hindering shipbuilding.
To bolster the supply, the Jap
anese have started melting up mail
boxes, manhole covers, ash trays.

articles.

Tide Water Associated
Votes Challenged by
Getty Interests
Control of 26 Per Cent
Of Common Reported
By Counsel
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. May Al. Paul
Getty. California financier who has
fought for years for control of the
huge Tide Water Associated Oil Co.,
asserted today through counsel that
his interests controlled 26 per cent
of the common stock of the COM
pany and that certain other large
holdings are illegal and invalid
and against the public policy and
laws of the United States"
Specifically, he challenged the
voting at the annual meeting today
of the common stock held by the
Boissevain Brothers of Amsterdam
and the shares of Tide Water regis
tered in the name of the South
Penn Oil Co.
Harold L. Rowland, representing
the Getty interests, made these
charges in a letter to William F.
Humphrey, resident of Tide Water,
who told the stockholders: Even
if we should exclude these proxies
(of Boissevain Bros. and the South
Penn Oil Coz we would still have
over 81 per cent of the total pre-
ferred and common stocks out
standing"
Rowland described the Getty hold
ings as: 1,010.223 shares owned by
the Mission Corp, 270,100 shares
owned by Pacific Western Oil Corp,
and 372, ,454 shares owned by George
F. Getty, Inc. Tide Water has
6,369,175 shares of common stock
outstanding.
Humphrey told the stockholders:
There is some hope for improve
ment in marketing conditions in the
not too distant future. Stockholders
undoubtedly will be gratified to
know that the dividend payments
were maintained at the rate of Is
cents per share per quarter without
recourse to the undistributed earned
surplus of prior years."
Despite the Getty objections to
the proxy lineup, all directors were
reelected.

Comfort and Ease
Essential to All
Going Camping

Comfort and efficiency are the
keynoteS of the successful motor
camping tour. After a long day
no one feels much like struggling
with faulty or inadequate equip
ment. The evening meal usually
falls to mothers lot, while father
attends to the tent and other big
lobS-neither of them will object
if they have sfficient help in the
form of smoothly working material.
First and foremost there is the
tent. To be sure that it is entirely
waterproof, when you buy it, have
1t set up in the shop so that you
can step inside and look through.
If the material appears to be thin,
and to have light and dark spots
irregularly distributed over its SUR
face, it is not waterproof. Also, be
sure that your tent is equipped with
cloth floor a high doorsill, netting
over doors and windows and that
all seams are we'll reinforced against

Lighting is an important problem
when camping far from electricity
or tourists grounds. There is a new
tourist and garage lamp which
makes use of the electricity accumu-
lated during the days run and can
be used for two hours at a time,
when the car is not in use.
The stove is another item to which
care must be given-both at the
time Of purchase and in daily use,
to be sure that it will function per-
fectly and keep in good condition.

LINCOLN FREED HIMSELF
Continued from poge Two

John Hay tells remarkable story
in his diary: The President, Governor
Seward and went over to McClellan's
house tonight. The servant at the
door said the General was at the
wedding of Colonel Wheaton at
General Buell's and would soon re-
turn. We went in, and after we had
waited about an hour. Mcclellan
came in, and without paying par
ticular attention to the porter who
told him the President was waiting to
see him, went upstairs, passing the
door of the room where the President
and the Secretary of State we're
seated. They waited about half an
hour, and sent once more servant to
tell the General they we're there; and
the answer came that the General had
gone to bed. merely record this un-
paralleled insolence of epaulets with
out comment"
Some time later Lincoln said, II
will hold McCleIlan's horse, if he
will win me victories"
This may ne taken as evidence of
Lincoln's sanity patience; but the
fact was that he had to accept such
snubs from interiors because he was
so woefully insure of his own position.
The contempt with which he was
treated by others. such as Mcclellan
and Wade, was undoubtedly insight
ficant as compared with the tre-
mendous scorn that, within his own
deeply troubled mind. he heaped up
on himself.
What happened within that mighty
mind, we shall never know. but the
day came - and with overwhelming
suddenness for those who had sneered
at the timorous. confused. negligi-
BILE prairie politician - when there
emerged in the White House a great
and masterful leader. The Great
Emancipator had at last freed himself
from corroding doubt and fear. Lin
coin had decided that he was right.
and having reached that conclusion,
in Speeds words, mo man could be
stronger"
None was He ruled the cabinet, the
congress. the army and navy with an
iron hand. gaining the hatred of all
the rogues and the fools. and the un-
qualified devotion of all the decent
men. like Seward. 1t is as thrilling a
spectacle as history can afford of a
sensitive. retiring. deeply humane
man. with none of the driving ego
mania that seems essential to Caesars
or Napoleons, facing terrible emer-
gency and, after an interim of fearful
indecision, rising to it and conquer
ing it.
On Lincoln's Birthday, we are
again reading these words: 1T is
rather for US to be here dedicated to
the great task remaining before us:
that from these honored dead we take
increased devotion to that cause for
which they gave the last full measure
of devotion; that we here highly
resolve that these dead shall not have
died in vain"
These words have more profound
meaning for US when we know that they
came from man who suffered hell on
earth before he had gained for him
self the strength and the authority
to utter the great truths that shall
never die
