BRITISH FOREIGN OFFICE
REPORTS ON ARAEtc SINKING.

LONDON, Eng. Aug. 24-The Brit.
ish foreign office today issued an Of
fetal statement regarding the torpe-
doing and sinking last Thursday of
the White Star liner Arabic. The
statement declares that the attack up
on and the destruction Of the liner,
with the resulting loss Of life, were
unwarranted and without justification
under international law. The Arabic,
the announcement says. carried no
contraband.
The attack upon the liner was made
by German submarine, says the for
eign office, but the number Of the. at
tacking craft was not learned by the
Arabic captain or. any member of his
crew.
Crew Saw submarine.
The submarine itself was seen, but
II showed no number, according to the
reports OF crew and passengers.
Captain Finch was interviewed yes
terday IN Liverpool. He states that
there can be no question concerning
the nature OF the attack made upon
his ship, the submarine which fired
the torpedo being seen. The Arabic
was sunk deliberately, says Captain
Finch, and the commander of the sub
marine had every reason to know
that it was passenger liner at which
he launched his torpedo.
(. The theory advanced that the dam
age might be attributed to a mine,
Captain Finch declares is absurd.

The argument Of these stores is mainly that of bar
gain Their favore method of driving home this point
of attraction IS to cut the price article which the
advertising has made known Such articles wanted
and they recognized being worth certain figure
When the chain stores offer them for less than that regu
lar price many customers are, by that fact, ured into
the stores The chain stores do not possess any great
advantage as to cost of doing business Usually the
financing of the chain involves an investment which,
coupled with the usual individual stores capital might
seem overcapalized Thus, though the individual might
have actual working overhead expense to take
of he would not have great comparative investment
on which to pay dividends.
Therefore the idea that the syndicate store sell
the same goods at much less than the individual seller
often erroneous This impression frequently created
by the fact that the chain offers few articles of well
known regular price at less than usual These isolated
instances make the public think that these cut prices
Indicative of the superior value which the chain stores
can render
Meanwhile the independent stores are overcoming the
start which the chains to have secured in the past
few years The independents have learned many points
of efficiency from the syndicates They have caught
to the details of organization and the value of standard
lied ways of carrying their business These improve
ments making the independent store fear the chain
competition less and less every day
The public will continue patroize the chain stores
to considerable extent But in the man human nature
will make people like to deal place that has person

know also that the public has faith their stores
if they carry the goods Of big repute than they seek to

Some big manufacturers have such faith in the future
that they refuse to sell the chain stores for fear thecha

CHAPTER IXVI.
CHAIN STORES, EFFECT ON ADVERTISING.

modern tendency toward the syndication of retail
stores into chains has much to do with the adver-
Using problems which manufacturer must face today.
These chain outlets change the selling conditions also,
because instead of having persuade 700 individual store
owners to stock your goods you need to persuade only
chief buyer who will decide your proposition for
the 700 stores which comprise his syndicate. =.
The chain store element is becoming so important
that it is figured today that there 5000 different
chains of stores and they include probably fifty sixty
thousand retas stores and the Kellogg people III shut
ting out fifty sixty thousand stores cutting down
their market and they would be glad to sell chain stores
if not for the fact that the chain stores have their
life and prosperity built the fact that they buy bigger
sell more and sell little cheaper If Kellogg could force
those chain stores to sell at 10c it would be great thing
for the and that is why he has tried to hold the dealers
to price He has tried to force them to sell 10c and
that basis he has been attacked in the for
sra of trade and he has been enoned from enforcing
the price.
Today there 1000 of these retail syndicates
comprising % 900 retail stores. Some of these
simply TIE private outlets of factories and are therefore
directly controlled by the manufacturers for the excl
sive sale of their particular products Others simply
retail chains which buy in the open market and sell
price Their buying efficiency and their ability to- locate
stores to the best advantage gives them power to offer
goods at rock bottom price.
