Al writer in the Fatherland, the
magazine devoted to pleading the
cause, in this country, Of Germany
and Austria, severely criticises the
American people for their immortality
in selling arms and ammunition to
the allies, and wants to know what
will be the use of our gun and pow
der factories after the war is over
In view Of the fact that the KrupT
works ut Essen have sold guns tc
half the nations of the earth, the
immortality part of the German argu-
ment is very inconsistent. And al
for what use there will be for fac
tories, there is no telling what da.
the Americans themselves will neec
them.

POLICE

The first to organize a municipal police system along modern lines was the Marquis d'Argenson, who died in Paris 1s4 years ago today. Argen- son was a native of Venice, and first achieved fame in that republic, where he was a state secret agent In 1897 he went to France and became the head of the police department of Paris Coming of a high family, he was considered to have degraded him self by accepting this post, but he soon raised the office to his own level. The gendarnes of Paris, from dis organized band of rufnans. were made over into a highly efficient force. Ar genson also formed a body of secret agents, such as now would be called detectives, whose duty it was to ferret out criminals and unearth plots against the government. Argenson later laid the foundation for the French secret service and sent spies to all countries with which France
 might become involved in war. The system of international espionage in augurated by Argenson was perfect ed by Karl Stieber who organized the Prussian secRet service and sent thousands of hisA men into Austria and France prior to Prussia's wars against those countries.

KEEPING UP ADVERTISING.

Publicity has recently been given to the success of a St. Louis roofing concern, which in the hard times of last fall organized a $2oo,o 900 adver- Using campaign. As result so much new trade came in that their business is TO cent better than it had been the year before.
 In small way this experience can be duplicated in the experience of great many retail business enterprises. It used to be the case, that when there was a business depression, advertising fell off, and newspapers ran fewer pages or filled up more space with plate matter.
 Our observation of our exchanges is to the effect that they have run just as. much advertising through the slow bllsiness-of the last year. This is because enterprising firms have res alized that advertising is the main spring of their business
 When a nanufa curing firm finds business flat, it does not turn off it's salesmen, On the contrary it is apt to hire more sa1esmen, so as 60 cover the territory more thoroughly. The newspaper advertisement is the re- tail merchants salesman. and it should be kept working all the time.

In those days ne also had an ambition to shine on the stage, and often played female character roles in amateur theatricals. In the office of the Nottingham Journal he frequently entertained his Journalistic colleagues by giving limitations of the famous ac-
