vanity and vexation Of spirit
John Wanamaker said it, and John Wan
amaker knows The statement, which oc-
ours in letter to the Associated Advertis-
ing Clubs meeting in Philadelphia last year,
is the epitome of Americas foremost bust
ness mans business experience; and read
ing between the lines, we can see in the very
bluntness of phraseology bitter memories
of experiments described as AL others
all! Billboard, circular, dodger, the various
freak misunderstanding and vexation Of
spirit. Only the newspaper pays Thrown
on the gallery with cheerful thump early in
the morning, it is the alarm to new day;
the wife reads it before her lord and master
(by courtesy) gets up, that he may peruse
the eager contents at breakfast and carry it
to his office
Now among newspaper men, it isa stand
ing joke that the advertisements are the
paper-but is it such Joke after all? Are
not the advertisements the most in portant
news we have to tell? The facts we relate
concern lot of people in various parts of
the world who are nothing whatever to
you. But the advertisements concern. YOU
personally What to wear and where to
get it, what to eat and where it can be Sc
cured cheapest, where to go and how to get
vital and vibrant interest-and for Which
you are subconsciously searching all the
time, even when you are reading about an
earthquake in Kamschatka or the shopgirl
who swallowed seventy-two pins in New
York
If you doubt that you are reading adver-
tisements all the time without knowing it,
make conscious effort for a week. not to
read them-before the, time is up you will
have feeling of mental emptiness, of eco
homie unrest How much anarchy may be
due to an ignorance of where to buy Are
not anarchists the poorest newspaper read
ers in the world? Then figure to yourself
an adless paper!
Not the least of the reasons why people
are interested in advertisements is their
typographical display. A we'll set-up ad is
a work OF art. Balance, tone, appropriate
ness. design are the principles that govern
composition no less than painting. Even
color can be indicated by type. Only on the
front page does the newspaper man have an
opportunity to frame his message attract

canals OF type, which the reader may scoop
up or not, at his option-there is no land

dense forest, delightful lakes and pleasant

to entice the readers rambles.
B1llboards street cars, dodgers, circulars
and freaks-they are all good advertising
because all advertising is good; but they ap-

not read the newspapers or much of any

MEANING YOU.
It's the idea that counts.


Little Marjory Sterrett had an idea, so
she sent dime to The New York Tribune
and wrote letter telling how she wanted
to get "a battleship for her country. Every
body was talking about how expensive pre-
paredness would be at the time. The let
ter published, struck a popular appeal and
over two hundred thousand children, and
grown-ups, too, sent in dimes. SO that more
than 10000 was collected.
Now $4,000 would go such little ways
on battleship that it would take an eN-
pert to know whether start had been
made. But the Mariory Sterrett Battleship
Fund has been officially accepted by the
department of the navy and the interest on
it will be devoted to giving prizes for gun
craftsmanship. So little Marjory IS help
ing make our fleet better after all!
Have faith in your ideas, however humble
thy seem. Franklin's key, Marjory's dime
you may have something every bit as far
reaching.

French Drive Swept
Ouer "Tmpregnable"
German Defences

WASHINGTON. Oct. 25.-An official
analysis of the brilliant French drive
upon the German lines on the Aisne
Ridge, telling a story of decisive re-
suits achieved over tremendous obsta-
cles, was acbled to Washington to-day
by the French headquarters in Paris.
1t says in part:
"The Great German Headquarters had
hoped after the incomplete success of
the preceding French operations along
this line in the spring that the French
army would not be in condition to
resume the offensive for the rest of
the year 1917. 1t remained for the
commander in chief of the French
army to show them their error. TINS
demonstration has just been made in
the brilliant operations of October %,
which must not be separated from the
preceding ones, which gained greatly
in Flanders and on the banks Of the
Mouse.
"The raised plateau which was dom
mated by the mound of the ruined
fort of Malmaison. and which formed
the KEY to Aisne Ridge, stretches be
tween the valley of the Aisne and the
valley Of the Athlete.
"The Germans had made most thor
ough preparations for resistance. On
the top of Malmaison they had con-
structed a formidable organization,
surrounding it with counterscarps Of
masonry. digging tunnels of commu-
nication and rendering il. as it seemed
to them. impregnable. We were able
to identify in the sector of attack
three of the most famous divisions of
the Prussian Guard, and one Of the
Bavarian Guard.
an spite of all the means of de-
fence accumulated in the Aisne sector
by the German command. in spite of
very unfavorablc weather. the French
troops attained all their detectives
harvesting a rich booty Of prisoners
and guns"

Codorna Soid To Be Ready
For Big Teuton Offensive

WASHINGTON, Oct 25.-ln Italian
military circles here it was said to-day
that General Cadorna had foreknoWl-
edge Of the Austro-German offensive
lust launched against the Italian 'front.'
and that he had taken every measure 20

A dispatch from Rome to-day quotes
the military correspondent of the TIL

official character, as saying:
"The AustrianS have assembled Oh!

troops-twenty divisions, 1t Is SAID -
and numerous German contingenVs. II
il assured that the Austrians have
abandoned their defensive, when theS
have maintained for such long time,
for the purpose of raising the spirits OF
the people, worn out by prlyatlons, ana
to improve the morale or the army,
weary Of the long war.
"The arrival at this decision prob
ably has contributed to the false opin-
IONS entertained by the Austrlans or
the Italians, of their strength and OF
their resistance. In fact. until yester-
day the enemy press lightly descri bed
the internal situation in Italy, making
il appear that Italy was on the eve OF a
revolution and of disintegration. The
enemy. perhaps, believes that whatever
success they may achieve, however I'M

which the Central Empires have urgent
