Caps NosING AROUND.
This Government Interested
British German Contention.

Chief Constructor Caps of the navy
has sailed for Europe under official
orders. The precise purpose Of his jour-
ney abroad at this time is not known
outside Of the Navy Department, but he
will visit the leading shipyards Of Great
Britain. France and Germany, and will
be gone about six weeks
There is some ground for the suspi-
cion that this official tour is connected
with the concern felt in official circles
in this country at the strife in progress
between Great Britain and Germany for
naval supremacy. 1t is stated that the
latter power has determined to outbuild
her rival In sea power, and the struggle
is now practically a race between the
two countries. Seemingly this should
have little to do with the security of
the United States as a world power,
but, in fact. it is matter of the high
est Importance to this country.
During the absence of Chief Con-
structor Caps Naval Constructor Jo-
seph H. Linnard is acting chief of the
bureau Of construction and repair.

For advertising is war, and expensive war.
The stakes are tremendous. There is no room

Men or agencies must rise or fall by their

There is a way to prove-easily and quickly
If we can sell more than others.
The proof can be given without any commit

shows results wants a one to three-year
contract

It is buying pig in poke" It is also a
poor way to place men on their mettle.
We have abandoned contracts.
Our business is solicited on one basis only
on the claim to outsell any other concern in the

That is why we pay our Copy Chief $1,000

We combine our ability-rnass our expert

Then we abide by results.

commitment. They may start in small way,
and expand when results are apparent.
They may quit us the moment another con-

Thus we are held to the mark We cannot
relax; for our accounts are ours only so long as
no better man shows up.
