Paris March 25-The French govern
ment has charged its representatives
IN all neutral countries to protest
against Acts of barbarism and devas-
alton on the part of the Germans" in
territory evacuated by them in northern
France. The full text of the note, which
a signed by Premier Ribot. follows:
The government of the Republic is
now gathering the elements of protest
which it intends sending to neutral gov
ernments against acts of barbarism
and devastation committed by the Ger
mans in French territory which they are
evacuating while retreating.
AT this time | ask you to make
known to the government to which you
are accredited that we intend to de-
nounce before universal judgment the
unqualifahle acts INDUCED in by the
German authorities No motive de-
mandcd BY military necessities can JUS
ify the systematic devastation of public
monuments artistic and historical. as
well as public property, accompanied
by violence against persons. Towns.
cities and villages in their entirety have
been piliaged. burned and destroyed
private homes stripped of all furniture
which the enemy has carried off; fruit
trees have been torn up or rendered
useless for future production. streams
and wells have been poisoned. The in
habitants, relatively few in number who
have not been removed. have been left
with a minimum of rations. while the
enemy seized stocks supplied by the
neutral revictualing commission which
were destined for the civil population.
You will point out that this concerns
not acts detsined to hinder the opera
tions Of our armies. but of devastation
having no connection with this object
and having for its purpose the ruin for

1.-The civilized world can only revolt
against this conduct on the part of a
nation which wanted to impose it's cul-

caution their banks and their nation

papers which might be undertaken by

Give Practical Helps

A S advertising took on this char
~ acter, and was more and more
aimed to interest and inform,
it gained readers House wives
learned that through reading the
advertisements of the stores they
could really learn things about COM
nodities and their prices, without
spending needless hours of Shop
ping" Thus the circle of people in
fuenced by advertisements expand
ed with consistent and solid results.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to system, to
efficiency of method. Buying for the
home, almost the last of the great
businesses of the world to come un-
der the sway of "business methods"
at last felt the impulse toward eff
cheney. The housewife learned that
she, too, was "in business" and that
she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with eff
fc;ency and economy and wise judg-
ment. Thus the circle of people in
tiuenced by advertising widened and
expended in greater degree.
And the expansion of the circle
goes on. If q merchant holds the at
tention and interest of the people in
this city who read and are influenced
in their buying by the advertise
lnents he need not worry about other
people or 9th er problems.

TO AL PATRONS Of
THE UNIQUE THEATRE

The influence Of the great war has
at last been brought To- bear ON all
places Of entertainment, in the United
States where admission is charged
and in cabarets and restaurants where
tables and chairs are reserved.
The effect on theaters is in the
form Of tax on every admission.
On all 10c tickets sold the purchas-
er is taxed Ole which makes his or
admission to the theatre lie. On all
15c tickets tax Of 02c is added max
ing the admission tie.
Now to do away with the trouble
Of making change with pennies the
management has decided to change
the admission price from 1Oc to 15c
the admission price from l0c and loc
This is not done thru any desire
to enlarge the receipts Of the show,
