PUBLICITY Campaign
|NRUSS|A IS URGED
Stanley Washburn, Former
War Correspondent, Regards
1t as Vital Necessity.
WANTS U. S. STAND SPREAD

Somewhere on the eastern front II 900
Russian soldiers sat in a grove OF trees
and for two hours watched moving pic
lures showing the activities Of British
troops IN the far-off western theater Of
war. That performances. gave most of
them the first concrete and authorita-
tive news that the English were in the
war. Some Of them had heard 1t. and
probably many doubted it; but on that
occasion they had absolute visual proof
and were elated accordingly.
This story is told by Stanley Wash
burn. formerly war correspondent for
the London Times, who has been in
three belligerent countries since the
beginning Of hostilities, and who urges
as an absolutely vital necessity in war
work a publicity campaign to spread
throughout Russia the news that
America is in the war; is in it for
keeps" and, if only Russia will hold
out, will assure victory for the allies.
Mr.. Washburn. who is now living in
Washington, told a reporter for The
Star today that England has already
seen and acted on the necessity for a
publicity campaign in Russia; that she
maintains in Petrograd a huge office
building and large staff for the pur-
pose, and has spent and will continue
to spend any amount to make this
campaign a success.

For Nationwide Campaign.

ours should be nationwide adver-
tising campaign. If both Russia and
Germany fail to appreciate our real
intention; If Russia should relax or
should retire with an accompanying
failure of discipline. or be conquered,
and the Germans on the eastern front
be released for western work, then the
war will revert to the status of before
the battle of the Marine, and may last

Now Greatest Factor in War.

America must do likewise" says
the correspondent. I'VE have voted
$1,000, 100000 to kill the Germans, but
none to inform the comparatively low
intelligence Of the Russians Of the fact
that the economic and military sup
port of the United States Is lining up
behind them. The immediate effect of
q knowledge both by the Russians and
the Germans as to what we can and
will do will be amazing. Americas in
tention is now the greatest factor in
the war. The spending of sum suf-
ficient to make that intention plain
may prevent the necessity for burying
on foreign soil large portion of the
million men we intend to raise. 1t
will give to Germany positive assurance
that her corner in men is broken.
just as the definite knowledge of an
intention to plant additional grain will
break a corner in that grain, based
on the visible supply.

Speakers for Tomorrow.

Other government officials to address
this delegation tomorrow will include:.
W. s. Clifford. director of the council
and advisory commission; members of
the advisory commission: DR.. George E.
Hale, chairman, national research coun-
Gil; George Creel. chairman of the COM
mittee on public information. recently
created by the President; Secretary of
Commerce Redfield and Eliot wads-
worth, vice chairman of the American
Red Cross.
The principal subjects under discus
sion are: Prohibition during the war to
conserve the food materials ordinarily
used for liquor; encouragement of large
crop production and better marketing
method: labor supply, particularly for
Shipbuilding and farm work; industrial
conditions affecting the output of NUM-
tions and other war supplies.
Gov. Nat Harris of Georgia intro
duced the prohibition question and urged
the other governors to recommend 1t
as a war measure to the President and
to the people of their states. A De-
partment of Agriculture report covering
an investigation made by DIR. Alonzo
Taylor of the University of Pennsyl-
vania on the relation of the liquor ques-
showing that in 1916 s145, 000, 900 worth
of grain and other food materials were
consumed in liquor manufacture in the
United States. Fermented liquors took
$101, 100000. and distilled liquors s44,-
100000. The largest items were S75,-
100000 worth of malt, $23, 0O0, 900 worth

America does her whole duty. think
the war will be over within year."
MT Washburn compares the problem
IN hand with the advertising campaign
necessary to the merchandising Of new
commodity. Publicity is necessary to
safeguard the original investment and
the publicity should not be niggardly
nor haphazard nor indefinite. It must
reach the ultimate consumer, who, in
Inis case. Is represented primarily by
hessia. He emphasizes the Importance
OF the work to be done by the American
railroad commission, an important part
OF whose labor should be the speeding
up or trafiic on the trans-Siberian road
over which our supplies must go. The
russians are splendid people. he ex-
pains, but In the face Of recent politi-
cal developments are likely to lack
cohesion.
Should Profit by Mistake.
I have been in three countries which
started in with the idea, later revised
that the war. to them. was not vitality
serious. concluded Mr.. washburn
These are Russia, England and Ru-
mania I don't want to see America
pay for such a mistake as they haye
paid. Financial errors cost money. bu1
mistakes in war cost the blood of thou
sands OF innocent people. The creates,
thing for America is to realize that this
war is deadly serious one. It can be
spelled victory for us only IL each man
realizes his individual responsibility
ana II the whole nation realizes that a
Crisis in the war is imminent this sum-
mer and that, il we fail, it then NAV
start all over again. Failure to make
plain our Intentions however good
may prove not mistake but a nationaj
tragedy. Success in making them plain
VIII result in a moral factor on which
l believe the outcome largely rests"

"DRY" QUESTION DEBATED

President Wilson today received at
the White House the representatives

ing at least ten governors, who were
invited here to confer with the council
Of national defense for unifcation of
the country's resources and energies
for the war by closer cooperation be-

"The United States must build ships
as rapidly as possible" Secretary Lane
told the delegates. "If we don't fight the
war on the other side,'' he said, I'VE

Secretary Bakers Views.

Secretary Baker said: "Our part on
the other side once determined is sub
ject to revision. No program can be
made up that will last beyond tomor-
row."
The states, said Secretary Baker, can
assist the government in three ways in
putting into operation the draft law.
first, by giving support to the draft;
second, by aiding in recruiting. and
third, by seeing to it that proper ex-
emptions are enforced and that men
needed at home are not sent into the
army.
said Secretary Baker, with our right
hand or our left hand, but with both
hands. and every man in the country
can aid"

states in recruiting its personnel to
10000 men after the new navy bill is
passed. He, too, talked frankly of the
submarine menace The danger Of the
submarine, he said. was not dreamed Of
a year ago.
Judge Advocate General Crowder out

ernment's plans for putting into oper-

A Free Prescription You Can Have

Victims of eye strain and other eye
