colonel asked how Sir Hedley, as a former soldier and business man, would go about to raise 35,000 recruits needed for the army. Sir Hedley in- stantly replied that he should adver- tise. The proposition was novel, bat it interested the colonel, and ultimate ly the recruits were advertised for, with amazingly good results. The war office was so pleased with this cam paign that when the war broke out it was decided to advertise again, and Sir Hedley was called upon to engi- neer the work.
 At first the advertisements were very conservative in tone, and before Sir Hedley was able to broaden the scope of his work and get his new business on a paying" basis he en- ,countered much opposition from many sources, not excluding members of parliament.
 'It was hard to bring the conser- vative British mind to accept such a radical departure" said Sir Hedley in discussing this point. Many declared that it was undignified for a govern ment to advertise, and others who were willing to see some advertising done, held that the displays should be couched in the most dignified and form. The idea of a gov ernment telling a woman that she was buying too many hats and expensive clothes - something which we have been doing recently - shocked them, but gradually we were given more lee way and the results have justified the course followed My idea Is to put out advertisements that have in them what you Americans call punch" Successful business men conduct their concerns that way. Why shouldn't a do the same?"

PAUSE FOR PEACE IS URGED.

STOCKHOLM, via London, July IA. The neutral conference for continu- ous mediation has decided to request all neutral nations in the world to hold peace demonstrations on August 1, the anniversary of the beginning of the war, to express sympathy with the suffering, peoples of the belliger- ent nations, and to plead with them not to carry the war through another winter.
 The conference suggests public meetings, street parades, pageants and church services, but particularly urges five-minute pause throughout the neutral world. This would mean a complete cessation of all activities at II o'clock on the morning of Aug ust1, when men and women would pause everywhere in the midst of their avocations as an expression of universal longing for the war to end.

ARE FINE RECRUIT
 LETTERS

LONDON, July 5. - Correspond ence of the Associated Press. .)-When the British government at the begin ming of the war covered the billboards of the country with it's now famous appeal for recruits, Your King and Country Need You" it embarked on an advertising campaign of such na- ture and extent as has never before been undertaken by any nation.
 The first advertisement has grown into scores dealing with a wide field of subjects, from pleas for army vol unteers and loans of money, to con demnation of extravagance in the purchase of too many boots and stock ings by my lady. It is said that there is scarcely a home in the British Isles that has not been reached by some of the display advertisements which have been kept running in fifteen hundred newspapers and spread on myriads of billboards. After nearly two years of experiment officials em- phatically declare that it pays for a government to advertise. It is esti- mated by some that billions of dol lars have been raised in loans in this way. and that nearly five million re- cruits have been drawn to the colors by the printed appeals.
 To one man is said to belong the credit or originating and carrying out this novel and elaborate campaign. He is Sir Hedley LeBas, head of a large publishing house in London, who re- ceiyed his title recently as a mark of honor for the services which he had rendered his country. During an in terview with representative of the Associated Press, Hedley was asked how large a staff was required to con. duct such a great business for the government. He smiled and replied;
 'In getting subject matter for the advertisements I have called on vari, ous journalists and others for assist, ance. AS to my regular staff, he is in the next room, and I assure you he is very busy young man."
 It was Sir Hedle's way of confirm ing what had already been said by others-that the bulk of the work had fallen on his own shoulders. His per sonal business has to large extent been turned over to other hands, and he has been devoting almost his whole time to putting before the pub lie the telling advertisements which his training as a publisher has en abled him to produce.
 It was some two years before the war began that Sir Hedley conceived the idea of advertising extensively for recruits. During a conversation with Colonel (now GeneraD Seely, who was then secretary of state for war, the

CONSULAR FORCE
Is HARD HIT
In Urgent Need of Financial
Assistance Because of High
Cost of Living Due to War

Washington. Oct. 81. Urgent
need of financial assistance for Amer
lean consular officers and clerical as
sistants in Europe, obliged because
of the greatly increased cost of living
since the war to pay three times or
more normal peace time prices for
foodstuffs and personaf necessities, is
shown in reports received daily by
the State Department. Almost with
out exception these show that what
was regarded before the war as an
attractive compensation for consular
employees to-day is scarcely sufficient
to provide food and the bare necessi-
ties.
The sI50,o00 allowance given by
Congress as a war fund to be distri-
huted TO consular officers to meet in
creased demands, has been allotted
and the department is now without
means of extending further relief. No
provision was made for the relief of
clerks and other employees and except
for a few whose salaries have been
increased, no assistance has been given
this class and none is possible until
Congress provides additional funds
Last year the department directed
consular officials to report on the cost
of living at their posts to determine de-
velopment of the increase. Estimates
showed that the S150.000 would be
sufficient then to meet only from fifty
to sixty per cent. of the actual in
creased cost at all affected posts.
Department records show there are
about 500 employees in the European
consular service whose salaries are
81. 900 a year and less. In most in
stances, these are natives employed as
clerks, stenographers or similar posi-
tions. whose expenses are naturally
less than those of the American en-
ployes. The number of Americans in
this grade of employment is estimate ed
at about $50 and they feel most the
need of financial assistance.
Estimates are being prepared OF
amounts that will be needed to give
the desired assistance to be submitted
10 Congress probably in December.
Nowhere in the war zone has the
cost of living not been affected, and
in some localities it has increased as
much as six times what it was be-
fore the war.
