THINGS WELL SAID.

"Never fix the price of anything so
low that you cant afford to adver-
tise it,"
Circulars hit only once, If at all,
and are then consigned to the waste
basket"
Don't advertise spasmodically-
keep at it. Your particular line of
goods may not be wanted today; they
will be sought tomorrow, or the day
after.
Don't run the same card from jan
uary to December. Change occasion
ally. Don't get into rut. Have some
vim "
people won't and can't guess that
you have a good thing"
Success means thought. 1t costs
no more to publish good matter than
poor. Prepare your matter carefully;
make it attractive; don't crowd; let
your catch lines be bold"
"There should be a point to every
advertisement. State your point and
stop right there. Don't keep on just
to fill space"
"JudIcious advertising
Creates many a new business.
Enlarges many an old business.
ReviVes many dull business.
Rescues many failing business.
Saves many falling business,
Preserves many large business"
He who in the world would rise
m ust either fail or advertise"
"YouT advertisement is your repre-
sentative. 1t need not be large or i'm
posing, but should be honest and re-
spectful."
advert Using is to business as a
man well shod; without advertising
man will always plod."
advertising is an eloquent and
effective salesman. distinguished
from the verbal salesman in this, that
while the latter talks to one customer
the advertising salesman is talking
to tens, possible hundreds, of thous-
ands.n
Courageous, intelligent, persistent
advertising means the largest possi-
bic success in any particular line"
Misunderstanding means the limi'
tation of business to personal infiu'
ence."

rALLEYRANo's PROPHECIES.
His Vision OF the Future Of the United
States and Prussia.

III. De Burg, In the Cosmopolitan Magazlne.l
The strongest Of all claims that will be fur
nished by the memoirs" is perhaps the as
founding proof they will produce of Talley-
rand's foresight in the matter Of Germany
and the United States. In the pages which
he devotes to the last years OF Louis XVIII,
there are certain paragraphs 10 which speak
ing Of the state Of Europe toward 1s22-25,
and Of what the errors Of 1915 (at the con-
gress of Vieana) had made OF 1t and left un-
done, he distinctly foreshadows what we
have witnessed In the lands between the
Danube, the Elbe, and the Rhine.
"Let no one be mistaken. This Is the
sense Uf his words as noted down by an at
tentlve auditory "What we accomplish In
Vienna was very inferior work; sooner or
later 1t must go pieces, although IL will in
sure peace for a few years. Ii Is however,
condemned by the daily more powerful de-
sires of Central Germany. Everywhere the
Germans are aspiring to united Germany,
resolved to have 1t, ready for tt, and some
day one or the other powers that sit In the
confederation will make this unity and reap
the profit Of It's work. There Is no fear Of
Austria, she Is herself made up Of small bits
and can help no unity In others; but Prussia
must be sharply watched, for she will at
tempt 1t some day, and should she succeed
all the conditions OF European equilibrium
will be overthrown. Then the basis Of power
In European civilization must be found"
Still more interesting TO the American
reader Is NJ. de Talleyrand's prohecy, made
nearly 20 years ago, regarding the United
States. At private party given by In Yer
ona. In 1922, on an evening following one OF
| the daily sittings Of the congress, the Primes
| spoke at considerable length Of the diplo-
matte work at the moment being carried on.
/ He gave as his decided opinion that what
Il his colleagues and himself were then under.
i taking could not possibly settle the affairs Of
i Europe or establish their equilibrium for
| any definite lapse OF time, ami he was led In
| to alluding to the United States, of which,
| at that period, 1t may be said European poll
ticians took no heed.
Europe" this was his singularly advan-
ced belieD Europe should keep It's eyes well
| open and furnish no pretext for the slightest
recrimtnati0n. America" he added. "Is
| growing and developing with each succeed
| ing day. The United States will become an
/ absolutely colossal power, and an heur must
come in the future when, by some extraordi-
nary scientific discovery, 1t will be put In
i more direct communication with the rest OF
| the world to their east That day America
| may-probably will-wish to look In our d.
/ rection and to take an interest in what Eu-
| rope does. Let the Old World Of our conti-
nent then be more than ever prudent, and
not in the slightest degree justify the inquis-
itiveness of the United States, for most as
suredly should Ii set a foot in Europe the
status quo would be rudely disturbed and
peace and tranquility would for long years
become problematlcal."

Sold Iers' and ssllors' Monum ent

To the Editor of the Press:
As stated in your issue of March 9TH the
committee finally adopted" an inscription
which begins as follows:
More than four thousand men were enrolled
from Portland In the Army and Navy for the War
OF the Rebellion.
In the Adjutant Generals Report Of
Maine, 1866, we find evidence upon the cor
rectness Of the above assertion. A careful
count has been made which includes those
true men of Portland who enlisted once or
twice or thrice, each time counting them as
a separate man includes also the hundreds
of substitutes and bounty jumpers who re-
sided at Portland for the hrst ana only time
when they signed enlistment papers; In
cludes the Coast Guards, Home Guards
recuits who never joined any command; in
cIndes deserters, numbering into the hun
dreds whose very names betray their nom
residence here; includes about 700 said to
have been in the navy; and the total Of the
whole count is less than 5000. IL that evil
| dence is good the above inscription is far
| beyond the limits of truth on any basis; its
wordng is more restrictive than the above
count. as it declares so many men" were
enrolled, and therefore would permit only
| one count for man, no matter how many
| times he enlisted or re-enlisted.
Now It is safe to say that more than 500,
probably as many as $50 Of the above count
would be excluded by deducting successive
| enrollments OF the same men. Throwing
| out also the riffrsff that we cannot call men,
| who ripened into deserters, never actually
| residing here, although standing on the rolls
| as of Portland, and there is left considera-
| BILE less than 5000 men-perhaps not over
25OO-who were from Portland in the United
| States service In the war. Assuming the
latter number TO be about the true total, the
| number of Portland men ascertained to have
been killed and died from wounds received
| In action, about 100 In ALL would not be SO
disprop0rtional.
| AS this inscription will stand for history
| 1t will be regretted II 1t stands Tor an error
/ of no mean size.
1t has also been stated that diligent search
has failed to find names Of over 800 Portland
men who "were killed in battle or died IL
service" although the adopted Inscription
asserts that these were mot less than [ou
hundred" Z.
