LAUD merchants FOR their
Interest IN WILMINGTON

David Snellenburg of n. Snelien-
burg and Company continues to re-
oeive letters commencing the page ad-
vertisement Where is Wilmington
Going?" which appeared recently in
Wilmington newspapers. One letter
from George Frank Lord, advertising
manager of the DUPONT Powder Com
pany, is as follows
Wilmington, Del. August 6, 1915
MI David Snellenburg,
Care n. Snellenburg and Co.,
Wilmington, Del,
Dear Mr.. Snellenburg: I have just
read with great interest your page
advertisement Where is Wilmington
Going?' and wish to congratulate you
on your enterprise and your convinc-
ing logic.
Il have never understood what the
obstacle has been to the development
of a Wilmington harbor. The advan-
tsges of such development are so OBJ
vious as to need no comment. except
that the. engineers prediction of A.
100000 population for Philadelphia in
1850 would probably not be realized
II Wilmington had a proper harbor
nearer to the ocean than Philadelphia.
81 certainly hope your advertise
ment starts something. Would il not
be good plan to follow this adver-
hisement by a series of ads. each
one of which would concentrate on
one subject? Take the harbor for in
stance. A story on that alone with
bird's-eye view of the Christiana
and a map showing the superior loca-
lion of Wilmington as compared with
Philadelphia, and a third picture
irawn from imagination showing the
changed conditions after the harbor
has been provided, would all help to
visualize the ought-to-be future OF
Wilmington
MY experience in advertising has
shown me that the majority of peo-
pie have very little imagination, and
cannot realize a prospective propo-
ition unless IL is pictured for them
while | understand that this
broad gauge ad. represents a con
siderable expense, I do not think i
hurts your company to be recog-
1ized as the most enterprising anC
progressive among Wilmington
nerchants-hence this advertising il
a good investment.
Very truly yours,
GEORGE FRANK LORD,
Manager Advertising Division

At CONVENTION
HIS APPROVAL OF THE MOB
SPIRIT CAUSES GOVERNORS
TO SPEAK AT CONVENTION.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Boston, Aug. 27.-The statement of
Former Gov. Blease of South Caro-
lima in his speech yesterday, that
when mobs are no longer possible
liberty will be dead" stirred up fur
ther disapproval at today's session of
the governors conference.
Gov. Walsh of Massachusetts, de-
clared that ''there can be no liberty
without obedience to law"
He said that he had not intended
to speak at the session but feared that
his silence might be construed as in
dicating approval by the people of
Massachusetts of what had been said
before. He continued:
'In one of our courts in this state
there is this inscription: sHhere
speaketh the conscience of the state
restraining the individual will The
courts are the conscience of the COM
munity, and the conscience of the
community cannot be represented BY
a mob. There can be no liberty unless
the courts continue. to have the conf
dence Of the people"
Gov. Stuart also dissenting sale
Virginians stood first, last and all the
time for a rigid enforcement of the
law.
''The men of the south had somt
problems which were peculiarly theil
own and they of Virginia liked Il
think they were meeting Them" HI
said.

but a reflection Of public sentiment
which in almost all cases is but I
reflection of public necessity"
Gov. Goldsborough of Maryland
yesterday termed Blease's statement
''Unchristly."

NODEATHS FROM
STARVATION IN
CITY OF MEXICO.
Carranza So Cables Agency
in Washington, Making
Other Denials.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Gen. Car
rama today cabled his egency here
saying:
1t is utterly untrue that any deaths
from starvation are taking place In
Mexico City. The food situation con-
tinues to improve and has grown
steadily better from the date of Gen
eral Gonzales occupation at the pres
ent time" The Constitutional govern
ment continues the shipment of food
supplies in regularly increasing guam
titles and the distribution is system
atically and thoroughly attended"
Gen. Carranza's inquiry, as to
whether the Pan-American diplomats,
in appealing to him for peace con-
ference, were acting personally or
with the sanction of their respective
governments, will be answered today.
Officials stated that Carranza would
be informed that Secretary Lansing
and the Latin-American conferees at
tached their full titles with their sig
natures to the appeal. This, it was
said, was of itself an assurance that
they were acting with the authority
of their respective governments.
Carranza will move his capital to
Mexico City Sunday. All the de-
partments of his government except
the Office of foreign. affairs and in
terror already have been moved from
Vera Cruz and the remaining depart
ments will go with Gen. Carranza
himself.
President Wilson's appeal to the
Mexicans for peace specifically re-
ferred to Mexico City as place where
the capital of any government apply
ing for recognition must be estab-
lished. Carranza's move was regar-
ded in Latin circles as one of the
steps in his efforts to obtain recog-
milton. Carranza's reply to the Pan
American peace appeal had not
reached here today.
Reports that arrangements for an
other meeting of the Pan-Americar
conferees were denied at the state de-
partment.
