4 TIER the essentials of quality N "A and merit are settled, the A great determining force in the exploitation of commodity, with any degree of success is-advertising. The experience of selling organizat tions has proven this to be a trusm. The very life of an enterprise is dependent upon the manner in which it is presented to the public.
 This is especially true about mo- tion picture theatres. Local managers who are sitting still and waiting for the dimes to roll in are--waiting-while the progressive fellow down the street who is advertising and hustling around to get up an attractive programme every day, is reaping a rich harvest Motion picture exhibitors should not get in rut of being afraid to ad- VertiSe.
 Men who have accomplished big things are not those who have been afraid to attempt something the other fellow has not tried They are the men who have thrown precedent to the winds and who have dicked tra- dition around the block, and have courageously torn down to build up new and bigger structures. Successful men, whether they are selling and pro- noting brass tacks, steel bridges or motion pictures, are always in the vanguard of progress. Thus the req sons for their success is no secret They are all willing to try something new.
 But advertising is not new. It is the best method yet devised to attract the attention of the public. And it Is the only method to successfully attract patrons in motion picture theatre. This great truth must ever be remembered by the local exhibitors that advertising is the backbone of any business-but especially in the amusement field, where if you adver- tise judiciously there is no limit to the reward.

WOULD SUPPLANT
QUALIFICATIONS
WITH EMBASSIES
Foreign Powers Favor a
Change Japan Has Am
bassadorial Candidate.

Picking, March 2s.-Rumors are
again in circulation concerning the
possible elevation of legations in the
Chinese capital to embassies. The
japanese are known to be favorable
to this movement, and it is believed
that several other nations are also
inclined to raise the standing of their
missions in Picking.
1t has been reported a number of
times that the Japanese have under
consideration the appointment of Ba-
ron Hayashi, the present Ambassador
at Rome, to the Picking post in case
it be elevated to ambassadorial rank.
Viscount zChinda, the Japanese am
bassador at Washington, is also spo-
ken of as a possible ambassador to
Peking.
! Picking by all means is the most i'm
portant foreign capital to the Japan
csc. The Chinese and japanese in
terests are SO inseparably connected
that the japanese public has always
clamored for efficient dip1omatists at
the Chinese, capital, and is very keen
for the advancement of the mission to
such a standing that the most famous
and most experienced men in the ia
panese foreign service can be assigned
to Picking.
1t is generally believed in China
that all the Entente Powers would adj
.bassies should one of them decide to,
and the European representative feel
confident that the United States would
not be slow in raising it's legation to
an embassy should any other power
take the lead. American financial
concerns are showing renewed inter-
est in China since the European war
has cut off the money supply from
London and the continent. Conse-
quent1y many Americans have recently
come to Peking and other Chinese CEN
tiers to engage in the development of
various enterprises.
This American invasion has caused
much comment among the Europeans
and the Japanese, and his given rise
to rumor that the United States has
under consideration the elevation of its
legation to an embassy. Since the
United States has shown a DISPOSE
ton to act independently of the En-
tente and Central Powers in handling
questions which arise in China, and
other powers feel that they may not
be consulted by the United States be-
fore it decides to raise the standing of
its mission in the Chinese capital.

NAvY'SSTRENCTH'
HALF GERMANY'S
FISKE CLAIMS
Tells Committee TeutOn Vessels
Outnumber Ours Two
to One.

Washington, March 28-With the
explanation that che hated to say it,
Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske,
former aide for operations, told the
House naval committee yesterday that
in fighting strength the United States
navy was only about half as strong
as Germany's. He discussed the sub
ject reluctantly, but in response to
questions expressed the opinion that,
all things considered, two to one
would not be very far away in an
estimate of the comparative strength
of the German and American fleets.
The Admiral declared that the navy
was not getting value received for
money expended, and was only about
rs per cent. of what it should be UNI
der a better system of administration
Practically all officers, he said, feel
there is a very great need for battle
cruisers. Aeronautics, he said. was
the greatest present need.
His Difference With Daniels.
Admiral Fiske explained to the.
committee that differences with Sec
rotary Daniels over the measure OF
preparedness he believed necessary
caused his resignation as aide for
operations, and asserted there were
no personal disputes.
Emory S. Land naval constructor,
testified that including boats nearly
submarines could be made available
for war service Immediately or within
80 days OF the 18 submarines of the
Atlantic fleet, he said, 13 were avail
able He strongly urged the con-
struction of large Sea-going subma-
rines of the sOO-ton type.
England, Germany, Austria and
France all have this type OF boat.
said the naval constructor. Italy,
Japan and Russia are also supplied.
Italy has abandoned the smaller boat
and is now building boats from 75O TO
800 TONS He explained that the new
sea-going submarine Schley had not
entirely passed the experimental stage
and that the navy had not developed
an absolutely successful type of boat
(. No Reason to Stand Pat.
Even if these boats are expert
mental, that is no reason why we
should stand pat, when every other
nation in the world is building the
larger type he. added, recommending
that all of the submarines Congress
authorizes this year be of the 800-ton
type
During the last war game, Mr.. Land
said, the percentage of sea sickness
among submarine crews was from 40
to 80 per cent. He said living condi-
tions aboard a submarine presented a
serious problem.
Representative Thomas S. Butler of
Pennsylvania pressed the witness for
a, real straight story or the condition
of our submarine feet
Its as good as can be expected,
the result Of conditions that have
grown up in years past answered
Mr.. Land.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant sec
rotary of the navy, will be heard to-
morrow and with the testimony of
Secretary Daniels probably Wednes-
day of Thursday the committee will
close its hearings.

PRESIDENT ASKS
/ HOUSE TO PROBE
RAIL ROAD TIE-UPS

Washington, March 28-President
Wilson wrote to Democratic Leader
Kitchin, of the House today, urging
consideration of the shipping bill and
the resolution for the investigation of
conditions of railway transportation
and legislation. The railroad 4reso-
luton was not included in the legis-
aative rogram laid before the Demo-
cratic caucus last week as tie Prest-
dent did not consider that it came
under the head of Legislation.
In his letter the President says:
''It would seem as if the whole
movement OF our trade and industry
waited a resolution of the problems
of transportation. That is, the rea-
son why it seemed to me that the
shipping bill should be pressed to
an early passage
The President is urging early con-
sideration of the resolution for in
vestigatfon of the conditions OF rail-
way transportation said:
THE railways OF the country are
becoming more and more the key
to its successful industry and it seems
to me of capital Importance that we
should lay new groundwork of actual
facts
