ALLIED WAR COUNCIL HOLDS
SIGNIFICANT MEETING

today with air full of rumors of i'm

few hours before the conference be-
gan the foreign Office issued state
ment discrediting German report that
allies have delivered 48-hour ulti-

Dispatches from Rotterdam and
from German cities reported a revo-

foot in Greece and King Constan-

fresh reports of allied troop landings
and with them renewal of reports
that Austro- German-Bulgar attack
on Salonika is about to begin.

have been summoned into session
within only past 4S hours. First in

: LIFE

BY n. M. COCHRAN ~
While news all around us is breaking,
And business is rustling out loud.
While to and from work cars are
taking
The boisterous work-a-day crowd,
While little girls toll in the sweat
shops
To the tune of the hum of ma
chimes,
Our social men drink to their COM
rades
And toast to society's queens.
While millionaires spend dough on
autos,
And suppers and theaters and wine,
The middle class live along natural
And have things like yours and like
mine.
While down-and-outs aimlessly fol-
low
The crowds, with their eyes on the
rutS
Of our streets and our alleys, they're
looking
For some fellows cigaret butts.
While DRINKS dream of money for
boozing,
While buns beg about for bite,
The life of all humans keeps oozing
Away. That's the game. Is it right?

NEWSPAPER CALLED
SUPREME ADVERTISER
"Ad" Men Hear of Advantages as
Medium for General Use at Con-
vention in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, June N.-That the news
paper, supreme as a local medium for
advertising, is becoming supreme also as
medium for general advertisers, was
the statement OF William A. Thompson.
director Of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association, before the ma
tional advertisers department OF the AS
ISOLATED Advertising Clubs OF the World
on the second day of the twelfth annual
convention.
The value OF the daily newspaper to
the general advertiser anxious to aid the
local dealer handling his product was en-
phasized. Mr.. Thompson said in part:
Those Of Us who are interested in the
newspaper as a national advertising me-
dium believe that advertising cleverly en-
ployed sells goods at a profit. We couple
with this belief the conviction that news
paper advertising will perform quickly
and economically this fundamental func-
ton, and We feel that our views are sup
ported by an analysis OF the national
field.
The daily newspaper Is supreme as a
local advertising medium. The general
advertiser has made it supreme also as
a national medium, because he realizes
that a national campaign is simply a
number Of local campaigns added to-
gether.

Of weakening in their determination to

The English Unionist representatives
met Premier Asquith and David Lloyd
George today and submitted their views,
which have already been given publicly.
They particularly emphasized the fact
that sedition rs dangerously rife in Ire

large section of the Irish, thus making 1t
impossible for the Nationalists to govern
the country.
