ASSERTS ARABIC UNARMED
England Says Ship Made No Attack
on Submarine.

London, August 24-The British
admiralty made the following supple
mentary announcement with regard
to the sinking of the Arabic:
"The Arabic was an unarmed pas
senger ship. outward bound to a neu-
tral port. II was thus impossible for
her to have been carrying contraband
to this country.
"She was sunk by a German sub
marine without warning. and she
neither attempted to attack the sub
marine nor TO escape from IT,"
The admiralty also denied the re-
port that the steamship Dunsley which
was sunk shortly before the torpedo
ing OF the Arabic, presumably by the
same submarine. was an armed patrol.
The Dunsley was "a peaceful and un-
armed trader" the admiralty declared.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE

The other day a merchant said he
couldn't afford Ia advertise in his
home newspaper. II the mans views
we're not destroyed. he would see
that he couldn't afford not to adver-
tlse. Refusing Ia advertise Is his
most expensive extravaganza. That
same merchant will spend hours
telling of the unfair competition
OF the mail-order houses who are
his most aggressive and dangerous
competitors, yet the methods EN-
ployed by the mail order houses
which succeed are the very ones
which the merchant refuses to use.
The mail-order house first of all is
an ADVERTISER, Advertising is
the life of its business. Every
magazine that enters the small
town and rural home carries the al
of the mail-order house. Expensive
catalogs are printed showing the
illustrations Of the actual articles.
Occasionally sheets are scattered
broadcast over the country as a
special "come-on" for the bargain
hunter. Instead of doing these
things in a smaller way through the
/ columns of his local paper. the
merchant who cant afford 10 ad-
vertise sits down and. "cusses" his
! tough luck and wonders why he
can't get the business. He never
thinks he has a better opportunity
To reach the people in his neighbor-
hood than the maii-order house has.
II doesn't cost him as much as il
does the outsider; he can draw the
people to his tore and show them
the actual article he is advertising,
and, when they buy, they can take
their purchase home with them in
stead Of having 10 wait for several
weeks for il. Advertising is an in
vestment. II should be charged TO
your selling cost. Figure what per-
centagc you have TO pay TO adver-
tise, then base ilfty-two weeks
campaign on the computation. You
can't lose. You can't afford NOT to

London, August 24.-The Germans
have captured Ossowiec, another i'm

elsewhere along the entire front south

fall back little by little.
The fall Of 0ssowiec is not regard
ed by the military observers here as

more. In fact. than an incident In the
enforced retreat of the Russian
armies.
Aside from the loss of the German
ships in the Riga battle. in which the
Germans lost four cruisers and seven
torpedo boats, the naval engagement
is regarded chiefly important for the
strategic effect upon the land opera

In the present line OF Russian defense,

ever, can be attached to this fact be-
cause II has been apparent for the
past two or three days that the Ger
mans at this point are aiming to
partially envelope the stronghold be-
fore commencing a general assault.
II they do rot in fact design to isolate
the fortress altogether. as was done in

In pursuance of either one OF these
plans OF strategy. the forces under
