Washngton.-Stud on Germany's

two countries has been reached.
Not only do officials feel the United

Power Of Appeal in Advertisino

San Fran CISCO Cal--The growing
power OF the newspaper advertisement
ana us advance to a higher plane OF
iiloral appeal and responsibility we're
pointed out by Talcott Williams. direc-
tor OF the Columbia University School
OF Journalism. in an address here as
powerful and encouraging factors in
the past half century's newspaper his
tory.
inc American advertisement in
the past half century has made an
advance greater than in all its history
before through the pressure of public
opinion. the increased vigilance of
the American newspaper and the
higher standards of the solicitor and
advertiser" said DR.. Williams, who
spoke before the International Press
Congress at the Panama-Pacifc Ex-
position.
"The moral advance of the adver-
usemcnt began with the futile at
tempts to exclude lottery notices three
quarters of century ago. Any man
who will compare American adver-
tisements with those Of the English,
French, German and other European
newspapers will find our press and
| our public not apart. but together,
has raised the moral standards Of our
newspapers to level nowhere else
maintained.
Truth in the advertisement is
more and more enforced under so.
cial law which in all jurisproduce
age by age, imposes heavier penalties
and wider sanctions on all written
! agreements which affect value. The
American public has been the first
as its laws and it's newspapers show,
! to see that the advertisement which
! began as the tool Of trade, has become
| the weapon Of democratic instruc-
| tions.
| The use of the advertisement to
bring all causes and pleas before the
tribunal Of the people will grow.
Churches, education corporations,
must turn to this agency or the public
will turn from them. The newspa-
per must keep its columns worthy of
this new task and remember that all
| free publicity which should pay is an
UNJUST tax upon the publicity which

LOOK OUT FOR BOMBS ON SHIPS
New Orleans Paper Receives Letter
Saying Ships Will Be Sunk

saying ShIps VIII Be Sunk.
Washington.-W Warning to look out
for bombs concealed in their holds
were flashed from the naval wireless
towers at Arlington to two ships at
sea, which sailed from New Orleans
July S.
Sending OF the warning was order
ed by Secretary Daniels after receipt
OF telegram from a New Orleans
newspaper saying letter to that pa
per signed "Pearce" indicated that
explosives had been placed aboard
these vessels.
The radio message was sent broad
cast over the sea and even if it is not
picked up directly by the Howth
Head or Baron Napier, some other
ship in the neighborhooa may relay
it.
Naval officers think responses may
be caught by some Of the wireless
stations along the South Atlantic
coast.
Both the vessels, the British steam
ships Howth Head and Baron Napier
cleared with cargoes of mues for the
British army July and sailed the
next day, the former for Dublin and
Belfast via Norfolk, and the latter di-
rect for Avonmouth.

FLAMES followed quickly and for two

Erich Muenter, alias Frank Holt, or
confederates, were responsible for the
explosion which occurred on the af-
ternoon or July Z, the date on which
Muenter predicted that some vessel,
the name of which he appeared un-
certain of, would be destroyed.
Muenter's plans were frustrated by
the fact that this weapon Of destruc-
tion was placed with miscellaneous
freight forward and was not near an
enormous cargo of ammunition.

NAVY BUILDING PROGRAM.
Construction of Many Submarines
Will Be Urged in Congress.


Washington. next building
program Of the United States Navy
will include estimates for nearly
double the number of submarines ap-
propriated for by the last session Of
congress From officials in close
touch with the administration plans
for the navy 1t was learned that while
the general board would wait until
September before making it's recon-
mendations at least 80 and probably
more submarines certainly would be
required.
Some naval officers Of high rank
think as many as SO or rs submarines
would not be too many, but those
who are taking into account the ne
cessity for enlarging other parts Of the
navy program believe a conservative
estimate Of the number which event.
ually will be agreed upon is about so,
The last congress in three sessions
authorized 26 submarines and the
United States has a total now of near
ly 70 in commission, or building.
Within two years the total, it is esti.
mated, may be brought up to 100 un,
der-sea craft.
Secretary Daniels, it is understood,
fayors large building program, be.
lievins that in the development of
the efficiency Of the submarine arm
lies the most important task of the
navy today. The action of the last
congress in appropriating for 16 sub
marines when only eight or more
were asked for is believed to have
given the secretary confidence that
the next session Of congress would
be even more generous.
