German units slashing hard at

reported today to have driven
an armored wedge into the Rus

Rising costs have caused more
than half the daily newspapers
in the United Statse to raise at
least some portion of their cir
culation rate structure since the
start o fthe war in 1899, Grams
ton Williams, general manager
of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association, said to-
day.
The ANPA is conducting q
survey of daily newspapers on
circulation rate changes in 1912,
and while still far from COM
plete returns thus far show 648
papers have announced ad-
vances.
Earlier this year - before
many of the increases were made
a survey to which LIT news
papers replied showed the larg-
est number, 800, were receiving
5 cents per single copy ut re-
tail. A year earlier 704 out of
1921 replies, were receiving 5
cents. The next largest group
was the Scent bracket, at 735,
against Isl q year previously.

More Than 50 Per Cent OF y. S.
Doilies Hove Elsvoted Rotes

Only 1875 reported 2 cents,
against 231 the previous year.
RISING COSTS
These increases, replies ex-
planned, reflected rising costs in
wartime. At the same time, the
survey showed that while inn
mediate response TO price in
creases was in most cases reduc-
ed circulation for a short time,
such losses were soon recouped.
and that circulation generally
was now at record levels.
The trend toward higher cir
culation rates has embraced
publications widely. Early this
year, in the magazine field. both
the Saturday Evening Post and

prices to 10 cents a copy from

have taken similar steps.
