in Canada just now they are agi-
tated over what is there regarded as a
probable organization and mobilza-
tion Of several hundred thousand Ger
man Americans in the United States
for the invasion and seizure Of Can
ada and a presentation of it to the
kaiser as the contribution of his loyal
subjects in this country 1t is impos-
sible to say just how profoundly
stirred the Canuck has allowed him
self to become over this talk. What
we know is that the matter has been
discussed in some of the public meet
ings In the dominion. That it could
be seriously discussed at such places

s Probably there is no class Of citi-
zens in the United States with keen
er realization of the value of strict
neutrality as a means OF quickly re-
storing the prosperity Of this country
than the Germans. 1t is noticeable
fact that while Frenchmen, Austrians
Russians, Servians and some English
men have voluntarily returned to Eu
rope to offer their services, the Ger
man has stayed here and contributed
his part to the assistance of the coun
| try of his adoption. Whatever his
sentimental interest in the fatherlanC
may be, his practical interest is all in
the brotherland, and that is the in
terest he is keeping an eye on To
think of him arming himself ant
swarming over the Canadian border
to capture a prize for the kaiser b,
smashing the neutrality OF the Un1ret
States into smithereens is to conjure
up before the mental vision one ol

TELEPHONES
WHY EflTISING rs
READ

One of the foundation principles is
tAat the closer ANYTHING comes hana
10 the personal affairs Of the reader.
the more interest it excites. An item
about the business interests of q
neighbor is likely to be read with more
attention than report of some fate
fuI disaster many miles away affect
ing communities and people Of which
no one knows anything.
This gives one an idea why it is that
advertisements are always read with
such attentive interest. They relate
directly to the personal affairs Of the
public
People are deeply concerned nova
days about the cost of living. They
lie awake nights worrying about it.
The club formed to discuss the poetry
of Tennyson may spend much Of its
time talking over the cost of beef or
the wages paid servants.
So anything relating directly to hY-
ing cocts appeals as keenly as anything g
there is in the newspaper. The ac-
count of the battle over in Belgium is
thrilling, but it is many miles away,
and without Immediate effect on the
reader.
But when one learns from sons
wide awake merchants advertising
that he has acquired lot of potatoes
or oranges or flour or Overcoats at a
special bargain, and is prepared to
close them out at a low price, the
thing hits us where we live.
Everyone that wants to reduce his
cost of living, and that includes near
ay the whole community, is affected
by such an advertisement 1t is read
more eagerly by the housewives than
9he news Of the distant battle The
men also afe interested. ana ask their
wives why they don't 60 there and
Ruy.
Advertising Is often the hest news
IN the paper Merchants who use il
may be sure that every line is read

RUMoRs OF WAR

Wars would have nothing but a
somber background If it were not for
the rumors Of wars" When the
ancient prophets threatened the world
with wars and rumors Of wars they
may havs intended throwing in the
rumors as sort of palliative Of the
evil itself, an antidote. as it were to
the poison of war in the blood Of the
world, Mankind IS gullible at best,
but in times Of profound peace there
Is mental balance enabling people to
draw the line somewhere near the
point Of absurdity and irnpossibillby
then, and absurity takes on a seri-
'ous look ana meaning There can Be
no Hrumor Of war 50 utterly al vaf.
