one question the study will seek to
answer.
There also is q question Of wheth-

be required to have q master key

From time to time, many uues-
tons are raised with reference to
the existing setup relating to the
licensing and regulation of apart

Military Needs for Pulp
Soaring, WPB Reports
By the Associated Press,

~ thC hSoOCldtcu 1ICoc.
Battle field developments have
thrust military requirements for
woodpulp to the highest point of the
war and they are expected to rise
even further, Harold Boeschenstein,
acting director of the Forest Prod
ucts Bureau of the War Production
Board, declared today.
The Army and Navy will need
more than twice as much pulp for
making explosives and ammunition
in the third quarter of 1914 as in
the first quarter, he declared. Pres
ent estimates are that fourth quar-
ter demands will continue upward.
Also increasing are military de-
mands for woodpulp for making
high-tenacity rayon for tires and
for overseas packing.
The result of these developments
and of the near depletion of pulp
wood and pulp stocks in 1923, said
Mr.. Boeschenstein, is that the pulp
and paper industry is operating on
a "hand-to-mouth" basis.
He said pulpwood production and
waste paper collections substantially
increased in the first half of 1914,
but not enough to balance the soar
ing demands.
