NEWS PRINT PAPER [c
BATTLE CONTINUES
\
BIG PUBLISHERS AVERSE TO G
PLAN OF GIVING UP PART
OF THEIft CONTRACTS.
Prefer Financing Mills?Committee of
Publishers, Manufacturers and '
Jobbers Meet Again
Next Week.
Washington, Dec. 18.?The Federal
Trade Commission, in conference today
with committees of newspaper
publishers, paper manufacturers and 2,'
jobbers in an effort to work out a ^
plan for relieving the news print pa- ai
per situation, addressed inquiries to
all the interests concerned throughout , 1
the country to ascertain if an actual ae
news print shortage exists. Publishers
of the larger papers were asked if la
they will relinquish some of the pa
per they have contracts for during
1917; small publishers were asked the ^
extent of their 1917 needs; manufac- P*
?.??? J: t-J A- - A trl
iuicio ncie uirecieu to lnionn me
corrimission concerning 1917 contract?
and their next year's production and
jobbers were requested to furnish general
information regarding the amount ar
of news print paper they will handle. a'
The conference discussed a plan pro- .
nosed by manufacturers under which
large publishers would give up per ^
cent of their 1917 contract supplies
to fill the needs of small publishers.
There was a growing objection on the s
part of the large publishers to this av
proposal. The contention was advanced
that no actual shortage exists ^
and that manufacturers are to blame
if there is a shortage next year.
May Finance Mills.
Plans of the publishers for financing
paper mills to help take care of news- Pa
" paper needs, it was said, are rapidly ar
taking shane. Some publishers are
of the opSTV,u this is the onlv wav
to increase their news print production
and that the publishers of the country
must arrange to care for their
own needs or go out of business.
The committee of publishers, manufacturers
and jobbers will be called :
into conference again, probably next ^la
week, to discuss the situation. It is
expected the replies to the inquiries
will have been, received bv them and se
details of the plan of distribution proposed
wil lhave been worked out to ^
some extent. 'v
A statement issued by the committee
today nt the conclusion of the
conferences, after referring to telegrams
sent by associations of publishers.
manufacturers and jobbers said:
"The commission finds, however,
that many publishers, and narticularlv or
the smaller publishers of the country, ar
are not affiliated with associations and
therefore will not be directly reached ar
through the telegrams sent out by the
publishers' committees. Such publish'
ers are requested by the commission m
to send full information concerning
their present situation as to supply "J
and their minimum requirements for "*
next year direct to the office of the
commission in Washineton.''

lishers in a telegram by L. B. Palmer. *r

LOSSES OF ALLIED ARMIES.
^lin Says 4,900,000 for French an
British.
Berlin, Dec. 18.?(Via Sayville).le
losses of the French armies I
ite have been 3.600.000 and of tV
itisli 1,800,000. according to compi
nt military authority, says an Ove
ns News Agency statement today.
On the same authority the Frenc
sses on the Somme up to the e?i
November are estimated at not le?
an 250 000 and those of the Britb
{>50,000.
The statement says:
"The total French losses since IV
ginning of Ihe war have been 2?0
0 and the British losses 1.200.00
altogether 5.100.000. These figure
e based on most reliable data. The
1 not includ^ the losses of the co
ed troops of both the French an
ritish armies but as these colore
ixiliary troops are always used r
uch as possible in great attacks, tV
tal of French and British loss*
obably is several hundred thousar
gher.
"In the engagements of the Somrr
nee July first 140 French and Briri?
visions have been employed. The<
ere drawn from all parts of the fro?
om the ocean to Switzerland. T1
ajority of these divisions, after sho
sts, returned twice or even thr*
four times to the front.
"The French losses on the Somn
> to the end of November are est
ated as at least 250,000 tand the Bri
h at 550,000 men. Thus the tot
' French and British losses on tl
imme are conservatively estimate
i at least 800,000 men. They, ther
re, exceed considerably the Germs
sses as estimated by Germany's ei
nies at 690.000 men. As a matter
,ct, the German losses were mue
ss than 500.000 men. At the san
me it must be taken into consider!
sn that about 70 per cent of all tl
erman wounded, after a short tim
e able to return to the front, thanl
the excellent medical care they r
ive and the hiprh .standing of Ge

CATTLE TO TAKE U
THE PLACE OK COTTON n
Mr. Fred Jones, secretary of the
^ Sumter County, Alabama Livestock
association, in a letter to his local p
paper, "Our Southern Home," shows ^
that cattle may be made to take the
ln place of cotton. He states that in 20
days $45,000 of cattle money had
passed through the banks of the town
of Livingston, three-year-old steers '
selling for an average of $04 a head,
ln two-year-olds for $52 per Jiead, and CI
calves under a year old for $40 each.
One train load of eight cars consisted
a(j of high-grade Hereford, Angus and
Shorthorn steers weighing from 900
;?a o mds to 1,410 pounds. ^
nR He closes his article with the fol,y
lowing pertinent question which all
farmers in the sections recently in- ln|
w fested with boll weevils should con- Pr
sider carefully before answering in
0f their farming operations:
e_ "Can we afford to attempt to 44
grow one bale of cotton worth
jn $50 on ten acres of land, when
m we can grow ten steers worth str(
$500 on the same land? The
)n farmers of Sumter county have ?n
,s tried the first?now let them get lrb
sr pure-bred beef bulls and good
rn oooitc i.uw.1 miiu try me latter."
As throwing light on the situation trr
in Sumter county, and the same ap- an'
7 plies to the other counties recently wo
r infested that are in the southern half 1:01
of the Cotton Belt, the following ginning
report obtained by the govern- nic
^ ment is significant: "The govern- 1")
i ment cotton ginning report shows 812 Wl1
jf bales ginned in Sumter county up to
October 18. Up to the same date last
ls year, 1915, the number was 2,816 ?n

In these words, W. H. Lewis, a

'Gas formed in great quantities on

'I was subject to severe attacks of
