that oil stores must try to keep
pace. Some stores advertise SO
informinsly and helpfully that all
stores aim to reach the same mark.
The woman who studies the ads
would find nothing but amusement

buy-and If an advertiser should
fall into the HABIT of exagger-

that store.

woman would properly appraise
the service offered to her by the

Even a small shopping errand

worth while.

Gated Ausrtias total adhesion to the
German policy and about dispelled
what little hope remained of a modus
vivendi that would prevent a severance
and allow the United States still to
care for the general prison camps
over which she has assumed guardian
ship. Most of the neutral world will
line up behind this country at least to
the extent of protesting against the
German campaign, it became evident
today with reports that Spain. Norway
Sweden, Denmark Brazil. Bolivia and
probably other Latin American coun-
tries would publish their replies short
ly. While it is not believed that any
of these nations, particularly the Euro
peans contiguous to Germany, will for
mally sever relations, as this country
has done, their protest is valued as a
means of moral condemnation.
After consultation with the president,
Secretary Baker issued a statement

OF the ships, however. precautionary
measures have been adopted
Spokesman of the administration
went to great pains to emphasize that
the American government viii follow
the letter of the law in dealing with
German subjects and property in the
United States, and that no official of
the government has been authorized to
take any steps in violation of this pol
icy. Even should war come, German
residents will be treated with the ut
most consideration.
1t is understood that the government
virtually has determined to observe the
terms of the old Prussian American
treaty of 1928. under which the citizens
of each country in the territory of the
other would be given nine months in
which to dispose of their personal and
real property and leave the country.
