Beriin Claims to Be in Dark.

Berlin, June 13. Via London, June 414.-The absence of adequate tele- graphic connections with Greece has left Berlin without authentic informa- tion regarding Greek affairs since the news of the abdication of the king was received The Greek legation has been cut off for several weeks from all communication with it's government, receiving only occasional perfunctory way of Switzerland.
 The impression pTevaiis here that the new condition of affairs will have no bearing on the military situation in Macedonia. The evening papers publish copious comments and retro spects and laudatons Of. King Con- stantine. The Lokal Anxelger says:
 ."The news indicates the final chap ter in one Of the moving tragedies of the world war. This Is not a tragedy with a single hero, this is the story of the ravishment of whole people, and in vain win one search history for a parallel.
 ..It b plain as sunlight that Con- stantine laid down his crown only be- cause he had not the heart to deliver up his people to starvation at the command of England and France.
 Russia and Italy appear to have been pushed aside in the recent En- tente undertaking. The newly created envoy Jonnart has forced the king to abdicate under pain of the conflscation of the harvest of Thessaly. Because the king was deprived through thumb screw methods of every weapon with which he might effect his escape from s-ch a predicament he was forced to decide to give up his throne"

HOW ADVERTISING
HELPS THE COMPANY
By T.. =. FIorea

That advertising does lower the
cost Of getting goods from the maker
10 the final user finds forceful illus
tration in the fact that advertising,
by speeding up the business of a re-
tail store, brings sales up white
other certain fixed costs OF doing
business remain the same. That is
one Of the thoughts which will be
brought out by some OF the biggest
business men Of the country at the
annual convention Of the Associated
Advertising Clubs OF the World, at
ST. Louis June 3 10 Z.
AS every one who has thought the
matter over at all we'll knows. there
are certain costs of doing business.
such as rent, heat. light. insurance.
taxes. general management expense.
etc. which 90 on cOnstantly-which
exist whether business is plentiful or
scarce. All these costs must. of
course, ne included in the gross
profit, OF makeup. sO-called.
IL will be readily seen that still
more customers could as we'll be
waited on in store at any time
and this applies even 10 the busiest
store. The same store rooms would
accommodate more, so the rent
would not need to be increased. The
same insurance. taxes, light, heat
general MANAGEMENT expense, etc,
would cover the needs Of a consid-
erably bigger business. II would only
be necessary that few more sales
people and cash girls and delivery
boys should be employed. so that the
increased cost of selling more would
be comparatively trivial.
Advertiser Has Fresher stocks.
The growth Of the business, bring
ing about the resulting economies,
has been more marked because the
advertising merchant, selling his
goods faster-"turning his stocks
oftener" in the parlance of the trade
has been able to have fresher
stocks, the best styles, etc BY turn
ing the blow flame Of his advertising
on a certain department whose
goods might otherwise move slowly,
he keeps the stocks moving in sea-
son. and so has new goods at the
beginning of the new season.
The public. knowing this, natu
rally prefers the advertising stores,
and this feeling on the part of the
public helps keep up the bigger
volume of business which keeps the
cost of doing business down.
