PARIS DISPATCHES CLAIM that
y GERMANS ARE REIREAIING

Souaine and have captured numerous
prisoners.
In addition the French report pro-
gress on the western slopes of the
Argonne, where the crown princes
army opposes them, while the Germans
have retired beyond the frontier IN
Lorraine, evacuating Avricourt.
In all cases these are separate at
tacks and counter-attacks by the
armies lying in the trenches waiting
for their artillery to compel the other
side to slacken its fire. The losses
in these attacks must be enormous,
for the men cannot move foot with
out being made targets of the heavy
guns posted on the hills above them.
The British apparently have learned
something from the Japanese tactics
at Port Arthur. They make a rush
forward and when the fire becomes
too heavy for them to make a farther
advance they again dig trenches for
themselves and remain there unit |
another opportunity offers for them
to gain a few more yards.
The Germans have had most Of
their artillery at work, but the French
are bringing up more and bigger
guns. This kind of fighting with
both sides in strong positions may go
on for days yet, but sooner or later
one side must find the continual fall
of shells and the disconcerting infan-
try attacks too much for them, and,
leaving strong rear guard, will draw
back for a breathing spell.
The battle resembles in many par
ticulars that of the Sha-Ho in 1904,
where the japanese and Russians
with much more time to dc it, estab-
lished positions which each thought
impregnable. Shells and infantry
attacks, however, finally compelled
the Russians to withdraw with losses
that at that time were without pre-
cedent.
With all the hard, long fighting be-
hind them the Germans again are
making attacks toward Verdun, while
the allies are making frontal attacks
on the German right and once mo:e
are attempting to outfank it.

WANTS CONGRESS TO BUY
THE ENTIRE COTTON CROP

Washington, D. c., Sept. 81. - 4
new plan for relieving the cotton in
dustry in the present emergency, by
authorizing the federal government
to purchase and hold cotton in SUI
ficient quantities to maintain a mar
ket price of 10 cents a pound, was
proposed in a bill introduced today
by Representative Mcclellan, of Ten
nessee. The measure would authorize
the president to create a bureau in
one of the administrative departments
to undertake the work of price mainte-
nance through purchases and sales at
it's discretion.
Concurrent action by the cotton
growing states is contemplated by
the bill, which provides that whenever
any state, organization or individual
shall provide fund of 100000 to buy
cotton, warehouse and insure it and
agree to hold it for 10 cents a pound,
similar sum shall be invested by the
federal government.

SOLID WALL OF WARSH|PS
BLOCKS THE NORTH SEA

LONDON, Sept. 21-A solid wall of
warships" is thrown across the nora
ern part of the North sea, according
to the captain of a British trawler,
who has just arrived from Ireland.
The skipper said it was absolutely
impossible for any foe to break
through undetected," so constant and
thorough was the patrol to the north.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-09-22

1t was his own experience to be halted
and searched and after being released
his boat was followed by two torpedo
boats until it reached it's destination.
The thoroughness of the patrol was
further testified to by another North
sea skipper. His trawler was lying
along shore, when shortly after mid
night it suddenly found itself hemmed

the identity of the trawler. 1t was
promptly shouted back.

HONESTY IN ADVERTISING.
Eonest Policy the Only Success
full Plan.

Business that would attain
leadership in a competitive field
must advertise. A big manu-
featuring concern doing bust
ness everywhere and especially
one whose goods last so long
that they sell each consumer in
frequently, cannot afford the eX-
pense of having men everywhere
on the ground to solicit orders
at just the right moment. rms
causes a demand for the goods
and big selling or jobbing con-
Germs gladly do the rest of the
work Of delivering the goods and
collecting for them. This makes
the best and most economical
way to do business.
Advertising effects a saving
by economically paving the way
for the sales manager TO make
sales quickly and easily, by, cor
respondence or the call OF ms
statesmen. 1t picks out the real
prospective customers and leaves
out those who are not inter-
ested.
There are honest and dishon-
est kinds of advertising. Facts
clearly and honestly stated are
the best selling arguments in
fhe world and make a healthy
growth in business. once GER
tain rate of progression. has been
attained on an honest basis, the
business will generate its, own
power and ascend the hill OF sue

through dishonest advertising,
the confidence of the. people IN
that house will be shaken and
ruin will soon come. from the
expense of the advertising with
out the necessary volume OF
business from happy customers
TO nav for it. Such experiences
affect the confidence of every
one in advertising in general,
and iniure, to a certain extent,
the honest advertiser.
Advertising, to be a, success,
must be honest, not only in big
things, but in little things as
well. The people may be fooled
mart of the time, but. the time
soon comes when a dishonest ad,,
yertiser finds out he cant fool
the people very long This ac-
