PRONUNCIATION OF POLISH NAMES

The Polish campaign suffers under the disad-
vantage of Astounding in names of places which
cannot easily be pronounced and remembered This
disadvantage is not remedied by the fact that in
the bulletins transmitted from Russia the Polish
way of spelling is very often discarded in favor
of the Russian, which. being based on an alphabet
different from the Polish, proceeds purely pho
netic- principles For instance Polish "Kalisz'
becomes the Russian "kash" and the Polish
"Szcerkow" becomes the Russian "Shtcherkov'
Thus the reader often meets with what appear to
be two different names, which. however denote in
raelity the place.
In the above example, "Szczerkow" will appeal
to most readers almost grotesque succession
of consonants hardly to he attempted by a mortal
81" is pronounced "Sh," and "Cz' is the equiv
alent of Itch" in "Tchay kovsl<y') In addi-
ton the letter w" is pronounced "v" Hence
that formidable reads Ssh -tcher- kov' The
reader will then also understand why "Kasz" is
photnetically equivalent to "Kalish" and "Czensto-
chow" to "Tchenstochov" But in this latter name
it is also necessary to bear in mind that the 1ash
oh like the corresponding Germany is pronounced
as in the Scottish Loeb" Hence "Czentochow"
will be pronounced "Tchenstokhov"
Again. stumbling block for the common reader
in the Polish C" This letter is always pronounced
It's. whether it stands before a soft or a hard
vowel or consonant Thus "Kielce" "PiIica"
and "Pock' are respectively pronounced 'Kieltse,'
"P1litsa' and Plotsk' On the other hand, the let
ter ~ when not associated with another letter las
in 81 "CZ') is invariably pronounced like the
English -
Along with the s. or &c" the Polish "zr is
often associated with r." in which case II ia
curiously enough turned into Ssh" while the ~"
disappears Hence "Przemysl" Lastly the final

makes strong representations to foreign govern
ments and, when they are dsregarded, ii proceeds
to watch the course of events 1t has now sent
notes to Great Britain and Germany on two differ
ent phases of the subject the protection of
American life and property in the so-called war
of the sea, established by Germany. The latter
warned against the destruction of American
sells and the former is reprimanded for act which
would lead attacks by the Germans upon vessels
which may be Amcrican--the misuse of the American
flag.
When the attention of Mr. Bryan called to
the flying of the American flag over the Cunarder
Lusitania, in the innocence of his heart he regarded
a 'ruse of war and therefore excus-
able. 1t seems not to have occurred to him that in
so mislsng the flag, the British robbing Amer
vessels of the protection which the Stars
Stripes are supposed afford Since then Great
Britain has twice offended. once by displaying the
american flag and by flying the flag of Iol-
lard.
We will suppose that for the protection of her
commerce, the British should equip all mer-
chant vessels with American flags Is it to be sup
posed that Germany will abandon its designs upon
British commerce because Great Britain makes this
inexcusable of flag? Or may it not be sup
posed that the flag having been robbed by this mis-
use, of its protecting virtue, the Germans may not
make mistake now and then and attack Amer
lean vessel displaying an American flag?
There TO be but two for this gov
eminent to pursue and neither of them involves
warning to Germany: Either to insist strongly
to Great Britain upon cessation of this misuse of
the flag, that it will be understood that we will
resent it by force: else to issue a warning to
American ship owners that all protection of them
the has been Withdrawn and that the
American flag no longer offers guaranty of safety
within the waters surrounding France and the Brit
lsh Isles.
An entirely situation i'll naval warfare has
been created and it is useless this government
to insist that before attack is made upon yes
sci the validity of the emblem be inquired into
1t is manfestly impossible for submarines make
such inquiry. If they accept this doctrine they may
well abandon their warfare upon British COM

Why this agitation for honesty in Advertising
Is it the result of awakening conscience the
part of advertising men? 1t is not Is it
tempt to reform for the sake of being better?
1t is mott Is it being done for common decency?
1t is not, 1t a business proposition, pure and
simple, and is actuated by the thinking in the
advertising business who realize that, that the
new, the novel and the unusual in advertising
longer novel unusual, and that, in the
last analysis, the customers who worthwhile
customers, are thinking people, have come to the
conclusion that advertisers reputation for fair
play is worth more pulling argument, than is
all the fairy stories and bunk bargain talk that
be written by any copy writer
In other words it is a dollars cents propo-
stion. Truthful advertising produces larger
turns conserves the space and good will and pres
tge of the publication and brings the publisher
larger profit because his space will bring better
price.
There merchants and plenty of them, who
honest in intent of purpose. but who when it
comes to advertising, overly enthusiastic and
who lie like dog robbers without intending do
There those who lie deliberately knowing they
lying. but SNUG in their believing that
fool themselves a great deal than they fool
anyone else, and it might be argued that in doing
this they were merely harming themselves, but this
is not the every crooked ad hurts honest

trying to either reform these people drive them

the money needed for another year
in three or four days as was done
last year.
Phoenix is asked only once a year
for funds to carry on the work of
the association. The management is
economical and the affairs of the
association in excellent condition.
The association closed the year with
no outstanding obligations, in
creased facilities for enlarged work
and small bank balance, and with
permanent equipment, amounting to
nearly $4,000. Each of them good
reasons why the association should
