The Best
AS Well as
The Good

.NOMETIMES the remark is
I\made: Il would like to give
Oyou my printing, but we use
lonly the ordinary kind - Office
forms, etc. You don't bother
with that kind do you?"
They seem surprised when we
tell them that we do, and that
I've want all kinds of printing
both good and best.
Why, the bulk of our sales is
made up of these every day
necessities. We couldn't exist
without them.
Tho we specialize on the best,
we can not depend upon it ex-
clusively. All kinds are required
to keep each department busy.

Deserter is
J.. .)..Apprehended

New York, Nov. 27.-Heinie
Schultz, who says he deserted from
tae German army, was held at the FL
lis Island immigration station today
for inquiry as to whether he shall lbe
given refuge in America. Schultz
who arrived yesterday stow-away
on the Dutch steamer Moorderdy:,
tells an interesting story
He says he fought at iLiege, Ant.
werp and the battle of the Marnc,
where the German advance towards
Paris was first checked, and was 4
member of the ARMY division which
was the first to bel ordered to re.
treat. a
'HMost of them we're killed." he
said. Mostly l was in little en-
gagements when I fought. We
could not make out what we were
fighting for. 4 hadn't anything
against the French. None of US did
in the trenches.
'Then got a card that my father
and brother had been killed. They
died for their country il you like, pu,
don't want to do that
The soldier said he formed plan
to desert. He dropped out Of the
lines at User and fed to l.illc, where
he was given shelter sfor two months
by a French girl. Then he was re-
captured and thereafter was assigned
to unpleasant tasks, he said. While
foraging for cattle he! hid in cattle
train, rode to BRUSSELS, and thence
walked to the Dutch border.

LONDON REFUSES TO
TAKE FORD SERIOUSLY

London, Nov. 27.-Henry Tord's
peace ship plan las greatly upset
many members of the American col
ony who say it will only bring ridi
cule on America in Europe and have
an unfortunate effect on American
business enterprises.
One well-known English peace eX-
ponent strongly condemned the iGea
saying:
1T is most ill.advised, especially as
great feeling already has been arous.
tish people don't care to nave things
crammed down their throats by Amer
leans, or perhaps any other naiiona:;-
ty. Americans would feel resentmen;
if we tried to do the same thing to
them. Id :.
"Those Americans who want to
further t;le cause Of peace could do
the most good by consulting with
those interested in peace in this coun.
try, who will let them know what is
best to do and the proper time to do
it," .,@ss -a.s u
A member of the American lun-
cheon club expressed this wish: 81
hope they meet German subma.
rine"
In official quarters no comment has
been made on the plan. Should the
peace ship touch here, those landing
would have to wait four days before
being able to obtain permits to go to
the continent.

ing the study of to-day's English easy
for young people who are SO situated
that they cannot attend schools and
obtain individual instruction. Un-

whose articles on "Standard English"
'Practical Syntax' (Which pIeans:
How to make good sentences), "Punc-
tuation" and "Etymology" appear,
plainly written in simple English, in
this book.
Even the word "Etymology," which
looks harsh and forbidding to a be-
ginner, is made simple if one reads
the article 'by Clark S. Northup, Phi.

MANY PRA|SEf0FFER
Of new DICTIONARY
Language Guide Should Keep
Alive With Flow of
Added Words.

Distributing new dictionary has
brought this paper many compliment
tary remarks. One. subscriber who
presented coupons yesterday for
half a dozen dictionaries for differ
ent employees and members of his
family said he deemed 1t necessary
that dictionary should progress with
the language just as newspaper
does. The world moves rapidly these
days and only The New Universities
is apace' with to.day's growth of the
language.
The departments handling tlis
great educational offer are being
kept busy handing out the books.
More reserves had to be rushed last
night to fill up the rapidly depleted
stock. AT this rate the first and linn
tied edition will soon be exhausted.
