THE MERCHANTS OPPORTUNITY


There is no panic OF false economy.
Yet such a panic was feared, a few
months ago, by economists and by
government c!ficials, who thought it
people against the folly of pure-fright
i'll period when the people OF the
country would have more money than
even before i'll their history.
But we are at war. That fact
means high prices for many co1nnl0-
dities High prices make for purse
timidity. The people need constant
reinsurance.
People who buy are influenced by
the store advertisements They I'M
consciously take the mood of the
merchant for their own-to a greater
or lesser degree
The merchants owe it to the people
to tell the truth about commodities
and prices fankly and informingly
They owe it to themselves to advise
wisely about buying.
No merchant will profit through
the extravaganza or waste OF people
Proper economies should be urged
Intelligent buying should be made
easy through the help of the store
advertisements
Editors may preach to their read
ers the wisdom of keeping the pro
cesses of trade ana industry active.
But the merchant must make this
preaching effective through guiding
the people in the matter OF buying.
1t is the merchants great oppor-
tunity. He, as we'll as the editor, Is
moulder of public opinion. Through
his advertising he reaches and in
fluences quite as many people as the
editor is able to reach and influence.
And his angle of influence is differ
ent. 1t is more direct. lie may in
fluence wise buying through offering
the right opportunities for wise buy
ing.
The News store ads are, thus, of
vast Importance in these days. To
their influence will be due the safe
and sane courses Of Brunswick peo-
! pie in the matter Of keeping the chan
nels OF trade active.

AN EXCELLENT HIGHWAY BILL.

In view of the fact that Glynn coun-
ty is proposing a bond issue III the
sum OF $250,000, the following from
the Atlanta journal will be Of I'M
usual interest:
The good roads movement in Geor-
sia will be quickened intellectually if
the house follows theexample of the
senate and passes the Andrews
Heath bill authorizing counties to
vote join bond issues for the con
struction, Improvement and mainte-
nance of highways. In opening
way to cooperative effort and CORE
lated results, this measure goes to
the heart of a broad and basic prob
lem. AS matters now are, counties
conduct road work with scant re-
tercsts. Occasionally, to be sure, adj
joining counties, both of which are
wealthy and progressive, will unite
on some Well-considered plan of road
Improvement. But for the most part
there are nc inter county highways
and consequently no state system OF
highways. TO remedy this condition
is of the utmost Importance to Geor-
gia's material interes3 S, and the pend
ing bill is long step to that end.
If joint bond issues are authorized
there will be an ever-present oppor-
tunity and incentive for counties to
work together for road improve
ments, instead of working separately
and sometimes conflictingly as now.
BY this means, much duplicated eff
fort can be saved and other substan-
| tial economies can be effected Fur
Their by combining their resources
! two or more counties oftentines can
accomplish things which none OF
| them singly would attempt. More
over, the larger andricher counties
thus will be enabled to aid the poor
| er countiesin building continuous
highways. This feature alone would
make the measure inestimably yalua-
| BILE and entitle it to unanimously
passage.
It is conservatiyely reckoned that
Georgia counties spend upwards OF
eight thousand dollars a day on road
building and maintenance. Much Of
this money is spent efficiently and
becomes aroyal investment. But much
of it is dissipated simply through
lack Of broadly planned and well-co-
The Brunswick news. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 1906-2016, 1917-08-05

oTdinated efforts. In such instances
it is not individuals, but the system
that is to blame. If the counties are
all TO get due returns from their
road expenditures they must work
steadily for a system that will pro-
mote their common interests and util-
ize to the best advantage their COM
bined resources. As a stride in that
direction, the bill authorizing inter-
county bond issues and encouraging
inter-county effort deserves from the
house the same prompt and favor
able consideration it received in the
senate.

INSURANCE FOR SOLDIERS.

For the first time IN :he history Of
the United States as concerted effort
in governmental initiative is now be-
ing made to provide adequate and
scientific financial protection for the
| officers and enlisted men of the army
and navy and for their dependents.
Instead of proceeding along the
old course of fighting a war first, and
caring afterwards for injured soldiers
and sailors and the families OF those
killed, the government is now at the
very outset of Americas entry into
the war laying plans for insuring and
| indemnifying its fighting men.
As a result of more than months
constant and intensive study a plan
viii soon be presented to congress
for consideration which, if adopted,
will give to the men who go to the
front the comforting assurance that
they will be cared for should they be
wounded, and that their dependents
will receive adequate protection
should they be killed or disabled.
The plan is intended to take the
place OF the pension system SO far
as concerns the present war. 1t is
based upon the fundamental idea that
the government should, as a matter
of justice, protect its soldiers and
O., Have md tboi. fonon1out fau,iIipC
and should do this with due regard
for conditions as they exist today.
Workmens compensation laws,
pension laws in the United States
and foreign countries, insurance
practice, and other RELATED questions
have been investigated during the
preparation of the PLANS, and as a
result information will be presented
to congress which it is hoped will
lead to the enactment of legislation
both just and humane.
The experience and knowledge of
the insurance men of, the country was
early sought by Secretary McAdoo,
and out of more than 100 representa-
tives of different companies who at
tended d conference called by the
secretary in Washington grew com
mittee of twelve insurance men, who
studied the problem and submitted
comprehensive report to the secre
tary.
The plans under Consideration are
based upon the now generally accept
ed idea that payments on account of
soldiers and sailors Killed or injured
in service should depend in meas
are upon the number of people de-
pendent upon them 1t is plainly ev
ident that this course should be fol
lowed.
The new idea proposes to impose
on the public treasury the obligation
of indemnifying justly the men who
have entered, or are about to enter,
the army or navy to fight in the
cause of liberty. With our men on
the soil of France and hundreds of
thousands of others about to enter
the service of their country, the
question is one of justice and fair
ness and the plan should be made
as liberal as it is possible for a just
and generous republic to make it.

Washington, July ls.-Secretary OF

Where's, The existence Of a state
of war between the United States ard
the imperial German government
makes it essential to the public safety
that no communication of a character
which would aid the enemy or its al
lies shall be had;
Therefore, BY virtue OF the power
vested in me under the Constitution
and BY the joint resolution passed by
Congress on April 6, 1917. declaring
the existence Of a state of war, it is
ordered that all companies or other
persons owning, controlling or oper-

submarine cables are hereby prohibit
ed from transmitting messages to
points without the United State, and
from delivering messages received
from such points. except those per-

Ask u. S. to Lift Zone
Ban on Schreiner
Insurance Men Declare His
Presence in New York Is
Vitally Necessary

Representing that the presence of
Carl Schreiner. the United States man
ager OF the Munich Reinsurance Com
pany, is necessary in New York, COM
mittee of insurance agents yesterday
filed petition with United States
Marshal Thomas d. Mccarthy asking
that a special pass TO the barred zones
in New York, good for one visit only,
be issued him.
Mccarthy referred the petition, with
recommendations, to Washington for
action by the Department of Justice.
Schreiner is one of those whose ap-
pication for a permit to visit the
blrred zones has not been successful,
and as he did not receive permit to
reside in Hartford, Conn, he insists on
staying in the Lake George region,
having the impression that if he visits
New York he will land on Ellis Island.
When the announcement of the re-
quest for special pass was given out
il was said that something like $3.50
OOO,0 is involved in the transactions
for which Schreiner is needed. Men
Of the insurance district say that the
petition was a move to secure In an
unusual way that which had been with
held when asked in the regular manner.
The names of the committee urging
a pass for Schreiner and the names OF
the companies they represent are with
held from publication at their request
to Marshal Mccarthy.
1t was officially denied yesterday that
Schreiner has, as was previously re-
ported, any connection with the Rossia
Insurance Company, Of Petrograd, Rus
sia, with American headquarters in
Hartford, Conn. This confusion appar-
emily arose from the fact that Carl F.
Sturhahan, the United States manager
Ct the Rossia, was once associated with
him in the management of the Munich
Reinsurance Company. Sturhahan
left him fourteen years ago to take the
management of the Rossia.
This company up TO the breaking out
OF hostilities three years ago handled
ell of its foreign business, including
that Of the United States. in Berlin.
This was changed then, Copenhagen be
ing made the headquarters 10 which all
American data were sent for time.
Eighteen months ago, after a visit to
this country of the general manager of
the company, all American business
was ordered sent to London.

TTun The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, July ls.-The Paris In
ter-Allied Conference will be held this
month. il was learned in a diplomatic
quarter to-day. Although no announce
ment has been made, IT is believed
the United States and Greece will be
invited 70 participate. II the invita-
ton is accepted, il is likely that AM
hassador Sharp at Paris will represent
the United States and the Greek Min
lister to France the Athens govern
ment.
While the programme of the confer
ence has been kept secret. II IS
known that the Balkan question will
undergo revision, owing to the entry of
Greece into the war. The part being
played and to be played by America in
the war. however. is expected TO be the
most prominent subject before the con-
ference, owing TO the necessity for
America to continue as the Allies
principal source Of supply and main
reliance.
The problem of supplies and COM
munication, principally sea lanes, i'm
perilled by Germany's submarine cam
paign, is the most difficult confronting
the Allies, and their hope is in Amer
ica to overcome that menace.
News was received in an official
quarter to-day that in the considera-
tion of the Balkan question the Allies
will consider stern measures for deal
ing with Turkey. The Balkan situa-
tion was said 10 suggest the freeing of
Greek territory of enemy forces. the
driving back of the Bulgarian
armies and an agreement on a plan
for eliminating Turkey from the war.
Italy. it was learned authoritatively.
will not oppose Greek claims at the
conference, being desirous of Tending
every assistance 10 the new regime in
Greece and to help the Hellenic nation
70 realize its aspirations.
Leaders of the Albanian race have
appealed to the Italian government to
represent them at the Allied confer
ence. A dispatch received here from
Rome to-day says that at meeting of
Italo-Albanians in Naples the Albanian
delegates adopted a resolution request
ing the Italian government TO take up
at the conference the question of the
boundary of Albania.
The Albanians ask that Italy prevent
any attempt to diminish the Importance
of the Albanian race and population on
the eastern shore OF the Adrlatlc, and
insist on the restoration TO Albania Of
the land between Antivarie, Prevesa,
,Podgoritza, Uskub and Kumanovo and
Florina, down to the Vardar River
This so-called restoration would re-
quire a rectifcation of the southern
boundary Of Albania as established by
the London Conference in 1915, which
was not satisfactory to the Albanians.
As fixed by that conference, the boun,
dary cuts from Il natural outlet to the
sea several important centres Of Al
banian population.
Whether the Allies will grant the AL
banan request was thought to-day TO
depend chiefly on the attitude Of
Greece, and il is believed Greece will
oppose the demand. desiring Northern
Eprus, which is included within the
Albanian territory.

U-Boats Fail to Make Ex-

of Destruction
8 Fishing Craft Lost
Increased Vigilance of Al
lied Patrol May Have
Checked Germans

London, July 1s.-Submarne losses
for the second week in succession have
remained at q very low average, ac-
eording to the Official figures issued
here by the Admiralty to-day. These
show that fourteen British merchant
ships of more than 1000 tons and four
British vessels under that Tonnage were
sunk during the week ended Sunday,
either by U-boats or mines. Eight fish
ing vessels were also sent to the
bottom.
The increase in destruction over the
week previous is represented by the
fishing craft and by one small steamer.
Usually, when the weeks toll of enemy
submarines on British shipping has
proved unusually light decided jump
in effectiveness has been noticed in the
week following. The rule failed TO hold
good last week, however, either on &C
count of the increased vigilance of the
British, French and American patrol,
or because the Germans failed to outfit
fresh feet Of submersibles in time to
send up the average.
During the week there was a slight
increase in the number of arrivals and
departures of ships of all nationalties,
the total movements being 5,748. Twelve
