Keeping Up Advertising.

Publicity has recently been given
to the success of ST. Louis roofing
concern, which in the hard times of
last fall organized a 100000 advertis-
ing campaign. AS result so much
new trade came in that their busi-
ness is 40 per cent better than it had
been the year before.
In a small way this experience can
be duplicated by the experience of a
great many retail business enterprises.
1t used to be the case, that when there
was 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 as ever
through the slow business of the last
year. This is because enterprisins
firms have realized that advertising
is the handspring of their business.
When manufacturing firm finds
business flat. it does not turn off it's
statesmen. On the contrary it is apt
to hire more statesmen, so as to cover
the territory more thoroughly. The
newspaper advertisement is the retail
merchants salesman, and it should
be kept working all the time.

only for the purpose of pointing out
that no warning that an unlawful and
inhumane act would be committed can
possibly be accepted as an, excuse or
palliation for that act OF as an abate-
ment of the responsibility for its COM

Long acquainted as this govern
ment has been with the character OF
the imperial German government and
with the high principles of equity by
which they have in the past been ac-
tuated and guided, the government
of the United States cannot believe
that the commanders OF the vessels
which committed these acts OF laWless

hension of the orders issued by the
imperial German naval authorities. 1t
takes it for granted that, at least with
in the practical possibilities OF every

this suggestion. however, and made
the statement that he wouldn't do any
such thing. The street commissioner
said that unless he complied with the
