The paper shortage In Germany, due to the scarcity of ooal and cellulose, makes the outlook bad for the newspapers. There U HtUe probability that any of .them will have to cease publica tion entirely, but It is certain that all will have to curtail the (site of their daily editions. Recent gov ernment measures providing for a more even distribution of the quar terly ration are not considered! strict enough and the ration Itself will soon have to be, decreased. ,"Our shortage Is due tu the same two , eauses which hinder all Germsn Indus- - try.", said Herr Sell of the Vogslsche Zsltung, "that Is. the restrictions im posed by the Versailles treaty and the 'present state of the German exchange. i Under ! the treaty, Oermany must export large Quantities of coal to France, Bel glum and Italy, sven after losing her best mine fields In Alsace, Lorraine and Silesia, This renders It Impossible to satisfy the home demands.

One pound of ' paper manufactured from Swedish ma terials costs more than three marks (normally 76 cents). Formerly the price was about 60 pfenning's (16 cents).". "The climax came with the Kapp In mrrectlon." added Herr Luickhardt of .Vorwaerts. "For nearly a week we received no puoer shipments and there- ' fore had to live on cur reserves.

(Copyrtfbt, 1(20. by Chleaso Dally Newe Co.) Rome, April 13. The needa of a world anxious for human betterment and the prevention of wars require the growth and consolidation of in ternational Institutions around a common world center city, accord ing to Paul Otlet of Brussels, who la now in Rome on behalf of the Union of International Associations which he founded In 1910 and which is composed of 60 affiliated associa tions. M. Otlet is a living answer to all those whom the war burdened with skepticism of lassitude. His son enlisted on the day of Belgium's invasion and was never seen again, yet the father con tinues imperturbably at the work of international organisation in which he has passed his life. PLASS WORLD C03TFEBENCE M. Otlet is the organiser of the Inter national library, the International mu seum and the International Institute of Bibliography, the catalogues of which contain 12,000,000 Cards. He ex pec La Brussels to become an International cen ter with possibilities as yet undreamed of. Already an International university bas been founded to which one frdm each -BOO students In the universities and technical schools the world over will be eligible Money has now been provMed for the construction in Brussels of a large building, which will contain the museum, library of bibliography and the university. M. Otlet explained to day the object of his visit to Italy. "We are planning," he said, "the greatest international conference ever held. It is to take place in Brussels in September this year. I desire to secure the adhesion of such institutions as the Internatlon Institute of Agriculture and of individuals such as Senator Volterra and Hendrlck Christian Andersen, who are active In International life. X am also polarising sentiment tot Belgium as the seat of the -League : of . Nations instead of SwitserlandV h , "Why do you think Belgium should be preferred V I asked. KOT YJCT SKEPTICAL "Belgium," was the reply, "la like Switzerland, placed Internationally be tween large countries, but Belgium be fore the war was the most International of countries. Our imports and exports, our familiarity with the sea, which la the world's highway, our phenomenal in dustrial development and our industrial enterprises in a dozen; different coun tries have all given us an International mind. In Brussels m on, cvr fMklM that he Is a foreigner. This fact has keen recognised in the past Since the first international conference in 1884 one out "of every four has been held in Belgium. We like and admire the Swiss, but we believe that the American preference for Geneva 'betrayed Ignor ance of Belgium. Switzerland Is occa sionally International but Belgium es sentially and Inevitably so." "Way do you believe that inter national Institutions are auch a potent factor in the world's betterment?" I asked.' "Hasn't the war made you skepti cal?" I5TELLIGB7TCE TO TBICMPH "No, it is a question of the value of intelligence. Civilisation is the prod uct of intelligence. Since the armistice five new international societies have chosen Brussels as their headquarters and although the seat of the League of Nations is to be in Geneva the confer ence of associations for a league of na tions has chosen Brussels. Belgium, no longer neutral, asks the presence of the league as a protection and as a com pensation for the neutrality permitted to Switzerland. ' Technically the posi tion of the the league center In Geneva is incompatible with Switzerland's qualified adhesion to the league. "The intellectual ideas of today will dominate the world SO years 'hence, but it is a question of rendering them valid Fi ORIIft EMPRESS OF GERMANY IS SERIOUSLY ILL Berlin, April 13. (U. P.) The former Empress of Germany la seri ously 111 at her retreat In Holland and her death la expected shortly. rthe Deutsche Tages Zeitung said to day. The former empress of Germany, the Kalserln Auguste Victoria, has been re ported seriously ill several times during recent years. Shortly before the close of the war she was under the care of specialist In Berlin. Her health was said to have become worse when the Imperial family fled from Berlin Into Holland. Recent dis patches said her old physicians had been called from Berlin to attend her. She was suffering from heart trouble, complicated by other diseases. Belasco Has Seven . American Stars for 'British Offerings London, April IS. David Belasco an nounced on his arrival here this after noon that he Intends "starring" Leonora Ulric, Ina Claire and Frances Starr In London this season. Commenting on the success here of the three American stars, Peggy O'Nell, Mary Nash and Edith Day, Belasco said: ; "America gave them up unwillingly. and It ' U hardly able to spare them. They are three ef our best. 1 rejoice In their wonderful success here.

And rarely a child, under old methods, has escaped tooth troubles. plistening teeth appeal to adults, but with children the great question is proper tooth protection. Judge what this method means to children by what , it does for you. j The enemy is film '! Dental science has discovered that thej teeth's great enemy is a viscous film. You can feel it with your tongue. jfilm clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. Then it discolors some times tartar forms. ; And that film . causes most tooth troubles. 1 t is that film-coat which discolors no the teeth. Film is the basis of tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the ' icid in contact with the teeth to cause deiay. j .-. Millions of germs breed in it They, with tartar, are the' chief cause of pyor rhea. Also manjr other troubles are ooyr traced to them. ; Brush is inadequate The ordinary tooth paste does not dissolve film. A soapy tooth paste even makes it more viscous J So the tooth brush has failed to end film. Mil lions know that well-brushed teeth dis color, and decay. Tooth troubles have been constantly increasing. So dental science has for years sought a way to combat film. Now that way is found. Able author ities have proved its efficiency by care ful clinical tests. Dentists have watched its results for years. And now leading dentists all over America are urging its daily use. 4 A new-day tooth paste has been developed, called Pepso dent It meets every modern requirement And this new film combatant is now embodied in it Applies a digestant Pepsodent is based on pep sin, the digestant of albumin. The film is albuminous matter. The object of Pepsodent is to' dissolve it, then to day by day combat it I ' s This method long seemed impossible. Pepsin must be activated, and the usual agent is an acid harmful to the teeth. 'But a harmless activating method has been found, and now active pepsin can be twice-a-day applied. Two ; other new requirements are met in Pepsodent, but its chief impor tance lies in action on this film. Watch.teeth whiten The results of Pepsodent are evident and quilk. Your mirror will soon show them. Then you will realize that those whiter teeth mean cleaner, safer teeth. Send the coupon for a 10-Day Tube. Note. how clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence of the viscous film. See how teeth whiten as the film coat disappears. It will be a revelation. Compare your teeth now with your teeth in ten days.
