their offensive after a lull of several
days along the Sittang river front,
where at least 1000 civilians flee

in recent days were reported killed

Dispatches said Japanese bombers
were making loW-level attacks on
Toungoo, leo miles north of Ran

Chinese army forces were reported

blasted after attempting an attack

In Australia, Japanese planes
again attacked the important north

thrust that did some damage and
apparently caused casualties. The
attack followed Japanese raids on

per cent below the pre-war figure
| however.
Factors tending to keep down the
costs are the absence of competitive
advertising; the elimination of huge
returns of unsold papers from news
agents, which in the old days were
enormous; and the discontinuance
OF promotion schemes such as con-
tests and the giving of free insur-
ance and other premiums.
Manpower Big Problem.
AS to manpower, the newspaper
industry has given up so much that
1t hasn't enough men to serve as
war correspondents, one spokesman
said.
Newspapers are trying to get men
out of the army to cover engage
ments," he asserted.
Every department of every paper
has been affected sharply by the
summoning of trained workers, both
men and women, to the armed or
auxiliary forces. to munitions Jobs
and to other war tasks.
Reportorial staffs have been halved,
and In some instances, cut even
more drastically. Most papers have
lost about 33 per cent of their desk
men, the mechanical departments
have lost 70 per cent, and advertis-
ing stalls about 80 per cent.

'P'e" WoOteHlS OF procure
ment OF rn,D material, manpo,Der
ana circulation, and reuolution-
ssed the ,ohole principle of ad-
Dertising.
BY RUSSELL LANDSTROM,
Wide World.
LONDON. Oct. 12-British news
papers, publishing under unprec-
edented wartime conditions of
strain and drain, are better off
financially than ever before.
William Will, chairman of the
newspaper and Periodical Ener-
gency Council, disclosed that papers
nave been faring unusually well.
and are paying handsome profits,
notwithstanding that
consumption of newsprint has
been reduced to one-ffth of the
pre-war tonnage;
Manpower has been reduced ap-
proxlmately IS per cent in virtually
all departments;
Circulation has been frozen.
though in most cases it has not
1allen greatly below the figures re-
ported at the beginning of the war;
Advertising 16 Pct. of Normal.
Advertising space is only 16 to II
per cent of the space available in
pre-war times.
Mr.. Will disclosed that no daily
newspapers had been forced to
close down because of the war.
Magazine stoppages, only nominal
nave been caused by lack of paper
and not by financial distress.
At the outset Of the war adequate
hewsprint supplies continued to be
shlpped across the seas, and home
mills managed to keep up production
pretty much along the old lines
But it was realized quickly that this
happy state could not last; either
the newspapers would have to work
out sound cooperative plan or
submit to eventual governmental
adjudication of inevitable problems
and squabbles.
AS result. the Newsprint Supply
Co. was created in May, 1910. It
started Immediately to buy, control
and allocate all newsprint used by
the newspapers of England, Scotland
and Wales, whether it was manufac-
tured in home mills or imported
from Canada and Newfoundland,
the Scandinavian sources having
been cut off.
Covers Provinces.
The Non-Profit Supply Co. was
formed mainly with London capital,
but all the provincial newspapers
were brought into the scheme, and
each has made proportionate con-
trtbution to the large guarantee
fund, established at the beginning,
and to the cost of operations.
Explaining the company's func-
tions. Lord Camrose, proprietor of
the Daily Telegraph, London morn
Ing paper, said:
count in the allotment of future
supplies and the price of paper made
uniform to every user in the coun-
try. The price and supplies of
homemade paper were controlled in
the same way.
"On the whole, the plan has been
q brilliant success, and it can be
safely said that this joint effort has
been responsible for the fact that
the newspaper press of the country
has been maintained intact.
Many Casualties Averted.
without this cooperative effort
It is certain that there would have
been scores of casualties, particu-
larly among the smaller papers"
Papers are rationed in newsprint
tonnage on the basis of their pre-
war circulation.
Cost of newsprint has increased
from $40 to $45 a ton in pre-war
years to as much as $12O ton to-
day. Production costs generally in
thu h,lSi,aass aLa,,t 40 !.
