 various countries were linked up. and obtained access to news at the source, and the right to distribute news freely in many countries.
 This was a long, tough battle. Many nations desired to keep a grip on their own news sources, and control of all news coming into their countries, because they knew that by this means they could mold pub lie opinion the way they wanted it to be distorted.
 News Banned
 Sometimes we found that even after we had acquired tn eright to distribute news in certain foreign countries, the newspapers themselves were afraid to print 1t. That was es- pecially true in Germany and Italy with the rise of Nazism and Fas- cism.
 Therefore itS obvious that at the end of this war, even If all the nations of the world agree to ac- cept news from other countries. and agree to let their newspapers obtain it from outside sources, such as the three big press associations, United Press, Associated Press and Reuters, the effort to let the light shine into all the dark corners of the world will still have to go on. If we sit back with folded arms, and the people get the idea that the press is an inconsequential factor in the preservation of world peace, all the efforts which are now being made to secure wide distribution of truth full and unbiased news throughout the earth will fall short of the goal. We've got to keep the flame burn ing and that's as much part of the responsibility of the American public as it is of the American pulp fishers.
 Ordinance Lifted
 During my recent trip to Europe I had an opportunity to do some thing practical as contribution toward the objective we have in mind. The French had already issued an ordinance establishing a news monopoly in their country, in the name of their own agency. AS result of the efforts of several of us. in which I was happy to play a part, this ordinance was lifted and a new decree issued which gave the French press and radio freedom to obtain news from any source, ana also lifted the bar against the or ganization of news agencies III France in addition to one which has already been set up, and which IS receiving, temporarily at least' goV- ernment financial aid.
 q then went to the representa-. tiyes of other countries and got them on record as favoring an un- shackled distribution of news, ana gathering of news, in their reSpec- tive nations. The countries Whlcn gave me these pledges include Bel gium, the Netherlands, Norway Czechoslovakia, Sweden and France.
 q ascertained, by exchanging cables with the prime ministers oi South Africa, Canada and New Aea, land that they too are In accord with this idea. found, through con- versations with the British press lords and with the British minister of information, that they were as enthusiastic for a world free press as any American publisher could be"

New Ceiling Prices
Placed on Timber

Timber operators in Garrett county
are being advised that new ceiling
prices on lumber and lumber products
have been released by the Office of
Price Administration and are now in
effect, according to William H. John
son, district forester.
In addition to Garrett three other
Western Maryland counties, Allegany
Washington and Frederick, are in
Guided in the new regulations which
provide for noticeable increase in
prices in these counties, Johnson said.
The new ceilings range from $21 to
500 per 1000 feet; log scale, for
woods run grade, and are at or below
current prices being paid for logs in
the Appalachian area.
Prices for logs were frozen by OPA
in April, 1913, at the levels prevail
ing during Experimentation, 1912,
and the change is attributed to action
on requests by buyers. The new cell
ings are approximately thirteen per-
cent above the "freeze" levels of 1912
reflecting increases in labor and ma
terial costs since that time.

the remaining six weeks Of winter
If the sun is shining tradition re-
cords that he will become scared by
his shadow and return to his winter
quarters for another six weeks dur
ing which time the snow, ice and cold
will continue to be ever present. But
if rainy or foggy, or cloudy, and the
sun fails to shine and his shadow is
not seen, he will remain in the open
and spring will not be far distant.
Spring already has been in evidence
this week but the sun is only slowly
melting the ice.

Mine Is Commended
For Safety Record

A Federal coal mine inspector has
complimented the 60 workers and of
ficials of the 250-ton-a day Earl No.
. mine of the Garrett Coal Corpora
ton in Garrett County. for producing
60,722 tons of coal with only one lost
time accident during the 20-month
period ended August 81, 1913, DR.. R.
R. Savers, Director of the Bureau of
Mines, said in making public de-
tailed report describing the Govern
ment's recent examination of the mine.
Opened in January, 1912. the mine
is miles east of VindcX. Dr.. Sayers
reported to Secretary Of the Interior
Harold L. Ickes that the Federal in
spector's report for the Earl No. 2
mine cites the need for certain addi-
tional safety practices to protect life
and property further.
Among the suggested improvements
were better ventilation, safer blasting
practices, ban on underground
smoking, adherence to timbering rules,
adequate fire protection, and improved
haulage conditions "Permanent limb
ers are supposed to be kept within 5
feet of the working faces, and safety
posts are supposed to be used between
the permanent timbers and the faces"
J, c. Davis. the Inspector, said "This
rule was violated in many working
Places
Although the mine was rated non
gassy, Davis noted approvingly the
precautionary measures to minimize
ignition hazards. These included the
use of permissible explosives, use of
permissible flame safety lamps by
mine officials in testing for methane,
an explosive gas, and the wearing of
permissible electric cap lamps by all
underground workers. Blasting "off
the solid" and underground smoking,
however, cufbed the effectiveness OF
these measures, Davis added.
Other commendablc features in
cludcd good haulagc roads, both on the
surface and underground, tightly con-
structed mine cars with effective
brakes, good housekeeping in surface
buildings, and the use of special pro-
tective hats and safety-toe shoes by
all underground employees. The in
spector prescribed the establishment
of a joint safety organization for
workers and officials, adoption of
special company rules regarding mine
safety, first-aid training for all en-
ployccs, maintenance of adequate
first-aid materials underground, and
safer storage of explosives.
