Information Has Leaked Through Censorship to
 Show Condition.
BLOODY RIOTS AT
 MUNITION PLANTS
Leaders Declared to Have Openly Threatened Overthrow of MilitariSt Regime Unless Demands are
 Hastily Granted by Government

Yelled though the situation is in the midst of a rigid censorship and ObsCured by the shackled condition of the German press, sufficient has leaked through to indicate that the German empire is facing a great ec- onomic and political crisis.
 The latest information received is that 10000 striking munitions work CTS have engaged in bloody riot in the great Prussian fortress town of Magdenburg and were only prevented from burning the city hall after a sharp clash with the military. This story comes from the Dutch frontier with sufficient detail to make it's claims to authenticity impressive On it's heels arrives the account of de- mands made by the leaders of the Berlin strike which are of such a rev olutionary character that compliance with them would mean a prompt ending to the militarist regime in the German empire.
 Similar demands have not been voiced publicly in Germany since the imprisonment of Dr. Karl Lieb- kenecht on 9 charge of treason. It is significant that they include a re- ouisition for the release of all politi- cal prisoners, which would include, Oi course, the noted Socialist leader.

If the buying public had a proper
conception of what advertising used
with skill, can do to bring prices down,
increase quality and insure standard
values, advertised goods would be pre-
ferred to such an extent that advertis-
ing would soon do even more for the
people than it has done
One Of the purposes of the Associated
Advertising Clubs of the World, In
adopting the slogan Advertising
Lowers Cost of Distribution" for the
great convention of advertising men at
st. Louis, June to 7, was to get the
public to thinking about the power of
advertising to serve the buyer.
The manufacturer who advertises
can take a smaller profit on each sale
he makes, yet make a satisfactory
profit in the end, simply because he
makes so many more sales through the
fact he advertises.
As one example, one of the great
packing houses, which has established

THE STORY OF A
U-BOAT CAPTAIN

Following a brief extract from the
story of U-boat captain as told in
Viereck's Weekly, q German-American
magazine: Considering the joy which
the captain experienced in sending these
many unprotected innocent people to
their death, we wonder sometimes if the
Germans ruthlessness is entirely con-
fined to the autocraey that we are ac-
customed to blame for everything. Cap
tain Peckelsheim says:
"Oh, what glorious sensation is q
U-Boat attack! What great under
standing and cooperation between a
U-boat and its crew-between dead mat
ter and living beings"
"Noiselessly we slipped closer and
closer in our exciting chase. The main
thing was that our periscope should not
be observed, or the steamer might
change her course at the last moment
and escape us. Very cautiously l stuck
just the tip OF the periscope above the
surface at intervals of few minutes,
took the position of the steamer IN
second and, like flash, pulled it down
again. That second was sufficient for
me to see what l wanted to see.
"You see, it is very plain; l estimate
the speed of the boat, aim with the PERI
scope, and fire at the right moment.
'sOn the occasion in question every
thing went as calculated. The steamer
could not see our cautious and hardly
shown periscope and continued uncon-
cerned on its course. Il could clearly
distinguish the various objects on board
and saw the giant steamer at very
short distance-how the captain was
walking back and forth on the bridge
with Short pipe in his mouth, how the
crew was scrubbing the forward deck.
I saw with amazement - a shiver went
through me- long line of compart-
ments of wood spread over the entire
deck out of which were sticking black
and brown horse heads and necks.
rOnly a few degrees were lacking
for the desired angle, and soon the
steamer would get into the focus. 1t was
passing us at the right distance, few
hundred meters.

ross the sea in terror; how the captain,

next there was a terrific shaking, SO
that all aboard the steamer were tossed
about and then, like a volcano, arose
majestic but fearful in its beauty, two two
