THAT'S something you get
l here, even if you don't ask
for it.
The chief duty of our adj
vertising, as we see it, is to
give the public the exact in
formation about our mer-
chandise.
The same policy rules in
our selling.
We believe in our merchan-
disc, or it would not be here.
It must possess definite
quality standards, or we will
not invest our money in it.
1t must prove itself to US be-
fore we buy it.
That is why we can recon-
mend it to you with absolute
assurance that it is right, and,
being right, we can see no rea-
son for misrepresenting any
Of our goods to our customers.
Our advertisements do not
contain comparative state
ments of value, because oft
times, through over enthusi-
asm, values are exaggerated
a tendency to mislead and mis-
inform. We, welcome the
most exacting comparison of
our merchandise in every es-
sential.
We believe this policy will
meet the approval of discrimi-
mating and careful people,
such as it is our desire to
serve.

ITY GRANTED PRESIDENT.
Cosstwise Tonnage and Vessels Taken
of South American Runs to Be Put
to Carrying Supplies to Be Re-
placed by Neutral Ships.

Washington.-Th imperative need
Of ships in the transatlantic service
was disclosed on Thursday in indica-
| lions that the shipping board Is pre-
pairing TO commander all American
tonnage and in an order issued
by President Wilson, which has the
effect of cutting off steel exports to
japan unless japanese vessels are di-
verified to war uses.
The shipping board probably will an
nounce communicating program
within a few days. 1t will call for the
requisitiOning of ships under authority
recently given to the president by con
gress, and probably will include ar
engagements for turning the vessels
back to their owners for actual opera
ton. The government, it is said, has
no desire to operate the vessels itself,
but through control of charters can di-
rect trade routes and at the same time
can lower ocean freight rates.
Coastwise tonnage and vessels taken
off South American runs to be put to
carrying supplies to Europe probably
would be replaced in large part by
land are ready to release large
amount of tonnage for allied use in re-
turn for food shipments. A resolution
pending in congress, drawn by admin

sells of foreign registry to ply between

The British and American govern
ments have about reached an agree
ment for joint control of all the
worlds tonnage, and the shipping
boards move toward communicating !
is a preliminary step in that arrange
ment. Under the plan the United |
States would operate most of the neu-
tral tonnage and Great Britain would |
have under its control allied ships. |
The arrangement would be used, also,
to bring down freight rates.
The presidents instructions, which
viii bring Japanese ships into the At
antic, were issued to the division of
export licenses, and provide that no
steel or iron products shall go to al

WAR MUST 60 ON
DECLARES KAISER
IN PROCLAMATION EMPEROR
WILLIAM DECLARES ENEMY
SEEKS GERMAN TERRITORY.
Assures Troops of Final Victory, De-
cIaring "War Is Forced Upon U.s."
and I'VE Shall Fight for
Our Existence"

Berlin.-Emperor William on August
l issued the following proclamation to
the German people:
Three years of hard fighting are be-
hind us. With grief we remember our
dead, with pride our soldiers, now
fighting, with confidence all our work
ers and with heavy heart those who
are languishing in captivity, but above
all our thoughts stand resolute in the
determination to prosecute this right
eous war of defense to a successful
| termination.
"The enemy is stretching out his
hand toward German territory, but he
shall never have it. New nations CON
tinue to enter into the war against us,
but that does not brighten us. We
know our strength and we are deter
mined to make use of it. They wish
to see us weak and powerless at their
feet, but they shall not prevail.
"They received disdainfully our
words of peace; they did not know
out the world they have slandered the
German name, but they cannot ex-
tinguish the glory of German deeds.
Thus we stand erect at the close of
this year, unmovable, victorious and
intrepid Our trials may still await
us, but we shall meet them grave
mien and full of faith. Throughout
the three years achievement the
mighty German people has become
firm in its resistance against all that
the power of the enemy can conceive.
If the enemy wishes to prOlong the suf-
ferings of war, they will weigh more
heavily upon him than upon us.
For that which has been accom- |
pliShed on the front let us at home |
show our gratitude by tireless toll. We
must still continue to fight and to fur
nish arms for it. But our people may |
rest assured that German blood and
German zeal are not being gambIed
with for an empty shadow of ambition
or schemes of conquest and subjuga-
ton, but in defense of a strong, free
empire, in which our children may live
IN security.
Let all our actions and all our
thoughts be devoted to this fight. Let
his be our solemn promise of this day,
