DEFENDS AMERICAN PRESS

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-lt shows your strong idea of fair
play to grant space to Mr., Tuarlegue's
facts" | defy Mr. Tuaregue to prove that
one single leading American newspaper, let
alone eighteen. is owned in England Such
statement is simply outrageous.
England is simply preventing contraband
reaching Germany. which is her right in the
present condition of affairs. Germany is
sinking ships doing this-and numbering the
crew. They stole $1400 worth of stores
from the Lyman Law among other mis-
deeds
His remarks about the humanity of par
ents bearing children to pay debts is one
which he had better interpret.
The price of potatoes here has nothing
whatever to do with English prices. as not
one single cargo of potatoes has gone from
here to England. Another of Mr. Tuarle-
gues facts: In Berlin the price is seventy
FIVE cents per bushel Does he perhaps in
sinuate that the United States is sending
potatoes to Berlin? onions are phenom-
enally expensive. Yet no onions go, or have
ever gone. from America 60 England.
The true facts are that there is a scarcity
of many eatables and spectators are boost
ing the prices for all they are worth.

The patent has expired, but its owners
who had spent considerable money In
making the word known. are insisting
that they still have the exclusive right to
use 1t. The courts will settle the question
In their own way and in their own good
time. Those OF us who have no direct
interest in the controversy may, however
find some instruction in contemplation
of the fact that a mere word which de.
scribes a commodity that has recognized
value. may come TO have so great value
OF its own that men are willing to hght
for control of 1t. The case is an illustra'
tion of how the judicious use of adver'
tising can make a trade name worth so
much that If all the tangible assets OF
company owning il were wiped out by
fire or food the company would still
have an asset on which any broad-minded
banker would lend hundreds OF thousands
of dollars. II any one doubts that money
spent in intelligent advertising is really
an investment that can't be destroyed
there is proof OF it here.

II 1t were not for the submarine
crisis, the German retreat from the Ancre
would be the one theme of great impor.
tance on both sides of the Atlantic. As
1t is, the first voluntary German with
drawal from strong positions since the
battle of the Marne must be an i'm.
mense encouragement to the worried Eng.
lish. 1t was the one thing needed to prove
that Germany knew her plight was
Desperate when she embarked on her
ruthless submarine campaign 1t is pre-.
cisely the kind OF confession Of weakness
which the Kaiser would have avoided
making at this time had 1t not been abso
lutely necessary. It's political effect must
be powerful in lowering the prestige of
Germany in the eyes of all the neutrals
who have been on the fence fearing that
Germany still had vast resources of men
and munitions to draw on.
