Asked to Reduce Consumption of Paper 10P Cent er New York, March 6.(I. N. S. Publishers of all classes of newspa pers throughout the country are urged. In a resolution adopted here today by the board of directors and paper committee of the American Newspaper Publishers' association. to make immediately a reduction of 10 per cent In consumption of news print paper. The resolution : fol lows: , "Resolved That publishers of ,aH classes of newspapers, dally and weekly, be urged to make Immediately a reduc tion pf 10 per cent in consumption of news print and to request all advertis ers, both local and foreign, to reduce their space 10 per cent during the pres ent emergency. "In case advertisers will not cooperate to the extent of the suggested reduction, publishers are urged to raise their ad vertising rates sufficiently to bring about' the mentioned percentage of re ductton. ' ' 'Reports of . committees in charge of the campaign on cooperation and con serration In the use of news print lndl cate that an important saving has been effected and that a majority of the newspapers have put into effect practi cal economies and are cutting slse and number of editions, eliminating wastage, increasing selling prices and raising ad vertUinr rates, but the increased de mands for advertising space have to an extent Interfered with the decrease in the use of news print, compared with 119. which is required to meet the pres ent situation and to bring consumption of news print within the limits of pres ent mill production capacity. In striking contrast to the resolution of the American Newspaper Publishers association urging the conservation of newsprint, the Portland Telegram today indulges In another, boast about the prod iaral use of white paper. It declares that during the first five days of the current week it published 67.89 more columns of reading matter and Illustration than did The Journal As a matter of fact, Jt published 108 more columns. And although It carried 60 columns less advertising than The Jour nal, It used six more pages of news print More than six tons of newsprint were required to print the 108 additional col umns of reading; matter, and Illustration; carried1 by. The4 Telegram. Six .tons of newsprint - would , carry . many a small : tewn publisher in Oregon for many days. Another contrast to the Portland Tele gram's boasted waste of news print is afforded by the agreement Jwet reported from New York; whereby' five of the New York papers have agreed upon a policy of curtailment similar to that Inaugurated by The Oregon Journal three months ago. - By Ed h. Keen London, March (U. P.) President Wilson, in . his reply to the allied communication . Of February 26, ; reaffirms his position that the only settlement acceptable to the United States in the Adriatic dispute will be an agreement by direct nego tiations between Italy and Jugo slavia or the settlement proposed December 9, according to informa tion from French sources here to day. The president's reply, it was under- Stood, was. received Thursday, although Its recetpt was not made putllo until yesterday. In some quarters the reply was Interpreted as the death knell of the secret treaty of London. The note. It waa understood, again makes it; clear that President Wilson cannot recognise this agreement Considerable opposition to the Turk ish settlement has arisen In several quarters. It was learned today. Critics of. the 'settlement as announced tar the council of premiers, declared the allies have decided upon complete effacement of the Turkish empire and that its ac tual dismemberment has been all but accomplished. The "financial sphere of influence' assigned to Great Britain, France, Greece and Italy, is merely camouflage for complete annexation, these critics asserted. The assignment of Constantinople and AnatOUa to Turkey, they believed, will not mean that the Turk will have un limited influence in these districts. The caliphate, they declared. Is destined to political and economic slavery. Turks Mobilizing London, March 1 (I. N. S.)

Boston, Mass., March 8. -(U. P.) The trustees of the Christian Sci ence Publishing society today won their suit against the Christian Sci ence board of directors to restrain the directors from interfering with the society. At the same time John V. Dittemore won his suit for reinstatement as a member of the board of directors. John Frederick podge, as special mas ter, found that the directors had no legal right to remove Lamont Rowlands from the board of trustees and that the charges against him were not sufficient In law nor made In good faith. It was also held that the directors had no pow- er to discharge Dittemore and that, even if they had the power, the rea sons assigned were insufficient and not made in good faith. The suit Involved Interpretation of two deeds of trust made by Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the church. The first. made on September 1. 1892, gave to four trustees, to be known as the "Chris- o..r wu i w.b. certain powers, the land upon which the moiner cnurcn was tawr erecww. other, dated January 25, 1898, gave to the I three trustees the property of the Chris tian Science Publishing society upon cer tain perpetual and irrevertable trusts for the promotion of the Interests of Christian Science and required pay ment of net profits to the treasurer of the Mother church.

Provision for Voting, Indicat ing Political Intent of Critics. Washington, March 6. (WASH INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR NAL.) The Frear-Magee majority report on aircraft production was brought under fire on the floor of the house this morning. Congress man Clarence F. Lea of California, minority member of the aircraft in vestigating committee, called sharply Into question the accuracy and con sistency of assertions by his col leagues. "Airplane production was not a fail ure," he said, negating the position taken by Frear of Wisconsin and Ma- gee of New York How could the ma jority report be true, he asked, that there were but 213 American planes in France when a later section of the same report states that Pershing "scrapped" 1000 American planes and returned 612.

Opening guns ef a struggle be tween Portland and other Pacific porta for a vast export business, in volving shipment .this year of nearly 100,000 tons of phosphate rock and a poslble subsequent movement of 800,000 tons annually, were sounded Friday when the Chamber of Com merce and shippers and exporters united solidly in an effort to prove Portland's natural" advantages for this movement. Phosphate rock shipment has been common talk among business men and shippers of this port for some time. Rise was given to the talk through the tact that representatives of Furukawa Co.. Ltd., of Tokyo, Japan, had signed contracts with mining men at Paris, Idaho, for a shipment of 65,000 tons of Phosphate rock for delivery to Japan. This initial order was followed by an option between the buying and selling company for 85,000 tons. In addition to the Initial order. This entire amount was to be shipped during 1920. Following the placing of. these two contracts an agreement was said to have been reached whereby the movement of this rock to Japan will last a number of years and run approximately 800,000 tons per year. Although possibility of such a ship ment gives excellent opportunity in it self for development of the port of Port land, the actual benefit of the move ment is negligible when other benefits accruing through this shipment is taken into consideration, according to shippers who have been working on the proposl tion. It is highly Important to Portland shippers, and especially to the lumber Industry, as It will do much to relieve the car shortages .at various times of the (Concluded on rate Two, Cohuna One) Red Bluff, Cal..

"Oh. he baa helped me!" she whis pered. "He will help you I have no more pain." For five weary years. Mrs. Palmer de clared, she had borne every tribulation of pain as the result of a broken bin. She had been on crutches throughout those years, pain marking every step she took. Today, with the contact of Hickaon's hands- still tingling on her brow, Mrs. Palmer, 7 years old, testified before a group that gathered about her at the door of the church that by the laying on of hands and the low-toned prayer of hope he pronounced, Hickson had caused that horrible, aggravating pain in tne injurea nip to vanish. - - No. I am not recovered," Mrs. Pal mer said, "bat I am recovering. It is wonderful. My pain is entirely gone. I snail ne weu i win be cured." Her eyes gleaming under the pressure of a heart from which the burden of care had been torn by kindly hands, an aged woman, limp of body, weak of mind, yet strong with the faith that cures, was carried 'in the chair that is her only form of locomotion, to a wait ing automobile. 1 '!!

March . (U. P.) The president stands pat. This was the word from the White House today, in response to inquiries as to what Woodrow Wilson's atti tude would be toward a compro mise on Article X of the League of Nations covenant. Senator Hitchcock last night wrote to Wilson asking him to receive Senator Simmons, Democrat, as an emissary who would . lay before him a proposal for compromise on Article X. Democratic hopes of compromise rati fications were believed to have been dashed again when the White House let it be known that Wilson sees little need for discussing the treaty situation fur ther with the administration senators ; that he Is adamant against any reser vations except Interpretative ones and that he prefers to have Democratic sen ators try to convert Senator Lodge rather than try to convert him. The president. It Is understood, feels that he made his position clear to Sen ator Glass when the latter was at the White House some, days ago and .won ders why Democratic senators think, it necessary for him to reiterate. The position reported taken by the president was taken to Indicate that he would decline to see Senator Simmons to discuss compromise, and would so in form Senator Hitchcock. If, in replying to Hitchcock, the presi dent thus rebuffs those Democrats who want to compromise with Lodge on a reservation to Article X, all hope of ratification will finally be gone. Demo cratic leaders said today. They said the president's refusal to discuss the situa tion, if he should refuse, would anger some of his followers, but scarcely to the paint of causing them to revolt against his leadership in sufficient num bers to bring about ratification.

I went to Mln den three 'weeks ago with mother. I had not planned to get a divorce at that time. While I was there I was in formed that Mr. Moore was not so far away, working on location. ' Then I determined It was the opportune time. I had no knowledge beforehand that Mr. Moore would not contest the case, so I Immediately got a country lawyer and filed my complaint. 1 "Mr. Moore certainly ;did not receive any sum of money from me, with the request that he refuse 'to contest the suit. Mr. Moore is a gentleman, one who would not permit such a thought to enter his mind. After the decree was granted to me I regarded It as a sacred matter, of no interest to anyone but myself. i "I did try to elude Interviewers.
