ISLAND LEASE TERMINATED.
Great Britain Stirred Over Transaction
With German COMPANY.

With German Company.
Correspondence to Associated Press. ]
Lcndon,. DEG. lone of the strangest
stories that has been given birth by
the sreat war is that OF the Island of
Herm. the leasing OF which to IL Ger
man company was recently discussed
In the house of commons. The lease
has been terminated. and British troops
are biHeted on the island. but the ques-
ton Is still being asked. why was Eng
land so lax as TO rent for song an
island larger than Helgoland. within
an hours steaming of English shores?
Herm is one of the esser channel
islands and al one time supported con-
siderable population. II is Il beauti-
full spot. with an attractive shell beach.
/ In 1889 II was leased by the crown for
$40 year to the West Bank Liegnitz
Ltd" which in turn leased it TO Prince
, Butcher Won Wahlstatt descendent
of the illustriols Butcher OF Waterloo
and himself n German. The prince and
his family lived quietly for years in
the manor house on the island incur
ring the great displeasure or those
who sought to ranlbie over the place
by closing all save one narrow path
way on the beach and plastering about
many warnings to trespassers.

matter became one of natural agitation

MlssIvEs LONG IN TRANSIT
Correspondence Sent From Paris Dur ing Siege Took Years 10 Reach
 the Corsignees.

What would Americans say if they received mail matter that had been de- layed in transit for lifetime? In France, a few years ag,1, letters for 300 persons were delivered--to as many of the addressees as were liv ing--that had been mailed years be fore They were delivered, moreover, at the earliest possible moment; al- though the distance between the send. CT and the receiver was in many cases only few miles
 During the siege of Paris by the Germans in 1870 the postoffice admin istration hit upon the expedient, In ad- dition to the balloons, of inclosing let ters in small zinc globes, water tight and dramatically sealed, and dropping them into the Seine. There they float ed, if they were not captured by the Germans, down the river to the French lines, where net stretched across the river gathered them in, and they were sent on their way.
 Unfortunately for the French, the Germans discovered the character of these zinc floats, and as they could not hope to see and fish out by ordinary means all the letters that went down thus, they stretched across the river, at Villeneuve Saint Georges, a net Of their own and effectually stopped this system of postal communication.
 The zinc balls and their use were pretty nearly forgotten, when, some years ago, fisherman found in the Seine, near Villeneuve, a queer looking globe of zinc. With a large knife he opened it, and found 300 letters, still iegibile, and all dated December. 1870. They were delivered to the postal au- thorities, and after this long wait in the river went on their way.-The Sunday Magazine.

 Every infantry battalion has two eolors-"the wings" and "the regi- mental" The former Is always of the same pattern, and shows the union jack on a blue ground, while the lat ter has wreath of roses, shamrocks and thistles, with the regiments motto and crest, surrounded by list of tho various battles in which it has taken part. 4ss z,
 Regimental colors are no longer cal. ried into action, but are now left be- hind at headquarters when a battalion proceeds on service. This has been the rule since the Boer war in 1881.

HONESTY IN ADvz1Tx01N0. Honest Policy the Only Success
 1u1 Plan.

Business that would attain leadership in a competitive field must advertise. A big manu- featuring concern doing busi- ness. everywhere and especially one whose goods last so long that they sell each consumer in- frequently, cannot afford the ex- on the ground to solicit orders at just the right moment. This causes demand for the goods and big selling or jobbing con- cerns 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 his
 statesmen. It picks out the real 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 the world and make q healthy growth in business. Once a cer- tam rate or pTOBTeSSlOIl Has UctH attained on an honest basis, the business will generate its own power and ascend the hill of suc- cess
 If, on the other hand, the goods are m i S epr es n t e 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 pay for it. Such experiences affect the confidence of every one in advertising in general, and injure, to 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 part of the time, but the time soon comes when dishonest ad- vertiser finds out he can't fool the people very long. This ac- counts for most failures in ad- vertising.
