ALL NEWSPAPERS PRINTING INDUSTRY MENACED BY WORLD-WIDE PAPER FAMINE The paper famine has reached a point where it is seriously menacing the newspapers of the country and the printing business as a whole. The American Review of Reviews, com menting on the situation says: "A commodity even so indirectly re lated to the demands of war as pa per is showing the prevailing ten dencies to such a degree as seriously to embarrass publishers. The higher price of paper stock and the dif ficulty in obtaining it at all in Eng land was a chief factor in the dis continuance in March of the London Daily Standard, after a career of 60 years, for a considerable portion of which it was the most important or gan of the middle classes in England. "In America the demand for paper has been increasing for six months, as a result of general business ac tivity. At the same time supplies used in its manufacture have been decreased by war conditions, and in some cases have almost been cut off. "The supply of old rags is affected by the cutting off of the importa tions from the European peasantry and by the demand for the making of guncotton. The chemicals used in bleaching the paper produced by sul phuric acid and alum are being de voured by the manufacturers of ex plosives, while importations of lute have fatten off until the price is doubled. An embargo has been plac ed on shipments of wood pulp from .Norway and Sweden, while Canada stopped access to her vast resources some time ago. .

This bulletin states that a large proportion of bleached and unbleached sulphite and ground ! wood pulp used In the manufacture of ; paper has come from Europe- that the ; amount from the Central Empires has been entirely stopped while the | pulp from Norway and Sweden has i been materially decreased. What is now being received is costing double | its former value.

It is not believed there ] will be any chango until after the I European war and then months will • elapse before prices can be readjusted. ; The bulletin expresses the opinion that I the paper mills will never be able to go back on the old schedules and for i that reason former prices will not obtain. As showing one or the causes of the high cost of print paper, which is seriously menacing the newspaper in dustry, it is pointed out that the im portation of sulphite which averaged about 380,000 tons annually before the war has dropped during the present year from 28,880 tons in January to 3.952 tons in May. Prices Going Up All over the country newspapers are advancing prices. The Milwau kee Free Press, a morning newspaper yesterday announces an advance from 1 to 2 cents in the price of the paper for street sales.

GIRL WHO DIED FROM AIR INTO VEINS; YOU 4S . ; ; S//S5 ELIZABETH GGQCLtFP © /trr'c /s7*-r %amrtcK ELIZABETH RADCLIFF AND ROT HINDERLEITER Olney, 111., July 29.—Roy Hinderleiter, who is charged with having caused the death of Elizabeth Itadclitt by injecting air into her veins, protests that he is the innocent victim of circumstances, being drawn into the affair by the girl who arranged for him to meet her to beg him to marry her and thus save her from results for which he claims he was in no wise responsible. Judge Whitcher, the boy's attorney, will introduce the suicide theory in the trial and sees in the death of the girl a repetition of the self destruction of Marian Lambert in the Orpet case. If not actual suicide, then he feels that she had an operation performed upon herself and so came to her death through her own act. The chief evidence against the prisoner seems to rest in the fact that he rode into town with her dead body in h,is arms. Judge Whitcher has made the following statements: "Roy Hinderleiter has no medical knowledge. "His family was prominent; his father was wealthy. But he knew nothing about women. "When he met Elizabeth he was hypnotized by the girl's attraction. She was the belle of the town. A dozen Olney youths fought her favors. "Hinderleiter was handsomer than any of them and she finally chose him for her sweetheart. But she continued tier meetings with other boys of tiie town. "With one of them she went out almost every night. Hinderleiter she saw about once a week. When her indiscretions resulted in what seemed inevitable disgrace it was Hinderleiter to whom she appealed. He went to her. She died in his arms. "He whipped his team to a breakneck speed to the Olney Sanatorium, and in so doing disproved any guilty knowledge of the nature of her death." On the other side, the prosecution brought out that Hinderleiter has boasted of knowledge of birth control. The State has brought into the case the name of Dr. George Weber, of West Salem. Dr. Weber, according to State's Attorney Morris, sold Hinderleiter an in strument which the boy used several times upon Elizabeth to prevent con sequences Of their alleged intimacy.
