that Sir Roger Easement win escape the

There are two sufficient reasons why exc

whslming feeling against the hrst Irish
eKscutions. EnslAnd's only defense then
was that she did not dare 70 appear afraid

GOD HIMSELF NEEDS BELLS"
Lamartines Epigram Applied Advertsng-Lack Publicity
Handicapped De Lesseps and the Right Kind of 1t Persuaded
Us to Build the Panama Canal

THERE are many wonderful facts con
anna Canal, but probably the two most
wonderful facts are closely connected
with advertising.
When De Lesseps had completed his
achievement of opening the Suez Canal,
the Panama Canal Company secured his
services as engineer for the Panama
operations. The Panama Canal Com
pany was really a private corpora
ton and it proposed to secure it's capital
issue the customary advertisements cali
ing for the purchase of shares, but De
Lesseps refused to assent.
MOI" he said. "All France knows that
I built the Suez Canal. Why advertise?
Why plead for subscriptions? Just tell
them that De Lesseps has undertaken
to build the Panama Canal and they will
flock to purchase shares. Besides, 1t is
not dignified to advertiser
AS consequence the subscriptions
were disappointing, and from that point
there began a series of events which
ended in the failure of the company and
the disgrace of De Lesseps.
"Whyr eXclaims Bunau-Varilla, who
recounts the incident, didn't Lamartlne
say that even God Himself needs bellsr'
There is, incidentally, special appli-
cation in the latter remark for those who
think that church advertising is a modern
idea.
But the second incident was odder
still, and it has to do with the very
Bunau-Varilla referred to.
He was in Washington, representing
the interests of the Panama Canal Com
pany which wished the United States to
purchase the Panama Canal Company
rights and properties rather than con-
struct a canal by the Nicaraguan route.
But Congress had about made up its mind

Ths President.s speech deIiver

The Presidents speech delivered
IN Independence Square was pleas
ant and courteous response to the in
vitation OF the advertising men to ad-
dress them. 1t was characterized by the
felicity OF phrase for which Mr. Wilson
Ii distinguished. and 1t set forth in an
admirable way the principles of integrity
and fairness which every one believes
should guide in both politics and bust.
ness. In short. 1t was delightful dis
sertation ON things out OF the realm OF
dispute. An effort was evidently made
TO avoid any political declaration and to
refrain from discussing any OF the aues-
tions Of governmental policy about which
the nation Is most curious. The country.
which was waiting on the Presidents
words to learn something about the Mex
lean crisis. win have to wait till another
eccazlon before 1t is satisfied.

that the Nicaraguan route should be
chosen, and the final vote was delayed
because of some prolonged debate con-
corning whether or not there were vol
canoes on the Ncaraguan route
The opponents of the latter route in
sisted that there were volcanoes, making
1t dangerous for the United States to
spend money on that route.
Somewhat discouraged at the outlook,
Bunau-Varilla left the Capitol and walked
up Pennsylvania avenue puzzling his
brains to think of way to prove to the
members of Congress that there really
were volcanoes on the Nicaraguan route.
Suddenly his eye caught a display in a
store window, and he stopped astonished.
Then he rushed into the store and pur-
chased every one of the articles shown
in the window. and learned from the
proprietor where similar articles could
be procured in Washington.
"That night" says Bunau- Varllla, "I
sat up until could mail one of the ar
ticles to every Congressman to reach him
by the first mail before Congress con-
vened, and when the members of Congress
held in their hands what I had mailed
to each they had indubitable testimony
to the effect that there were volcanoes in
Nicaragua"
The Testimony" was in the shape of
a postage stamp of Nicaragua issue hav-
ing an engraving of a Nicaraguan vol.
cano.
So you see If a great Frenchman had
not thought newspaper advertising un-
dignified France would today have the
honor of operating the Panama Canal.
and the profit from 1t; and IL Bunau-
Varilla, another great French engineer,
had not believed in mail-order advertising.
he could not have sold the Panama Canal
Company rights to the United States.
