There is less misrepresentation less
forcing of goods and a stronger sense
of accommodation and reciprocity to-
day. The cynical explanation that
merchants find it pays does not quite
explain it; it all seems but the incl
dental phases of larger deeper
movement, finer conception OF wha!
business really should be, an ideal of
real service, penetrating, vitalizing,
and transforming the act Of mere SELL

Never before has the correspondence
Of business houses been treated with
such promptness, directness, and
manifest interest and readiness to
serve In the past there may have
been more formal and conventional
lied phrases of politeness in the let
ters, but they had the ring OF mere
phrases. Business has developed and
broadened in it's spirit, and its view,
nellowed in it's tone, has become more
humanized.
Never before has there been in bust
ness such applied psychology in
methods, advertising and publicity.
The public is no longer considered
as humanity in mass; it is more per-
fectly differentiated into classifica-
tions, with separate needs and re-
quirements and necessitating more
nearly individual recognition. AS our
instinct of appreciation of individuali-
ty increases, courtesy, which in the
larger sense, is but fine respect for
the individuality of others, becomes
intensified.
There is a growing sense of justice,
fairness, equity in the matter OF

the United States, the chancellor,
whose speech is reported by the Ov-
erseas News agency (the German OIL
cial news bureau) said:
within the next few days the di-
rectors of the American nation Will
be convened by President Wilson for
an extraordinary session of congress
in order to decide the question OF
war or peace between the American
and German nations.
Germany never had the slightest
intention Of attacking the United
States of America and does not have
such intention now. 1t never desired
war against the United States OF
America and does not desire it today
"How did these things develop?
More than once we told the United
States that we made unrestricted use
of the submarine weapon expecting
that England could be made to OBJ
serve in her policy of blockade the
laws of humanity and international
agreements. This blockade policy
this l expressly recall has been call
ed illegal and indefensible' (the i'm
perial chancellor here used the En-
glish words) by President Wilson
and Secretary Lansin@. Our expecta-
tions, which we maintained during
eight months, have been disappointed
completely; England not only did not
give up her illegal and indefensible
policy of blockade but uninterrupted
ly intensified it. England, together
with her allies, arrogantly rejected
the peace offer made by us and our
allies and proclaimed her war aims,
which aim at our annihilation and
that of our allies.
"Then We took unrestricted subma-
rine warfare into our hands; we had
to for our defense.
eff the American nation considers
this a cause for which to declare war
against the German nation, with
which it has lived in peace for more
than 100 years, if this action warrants
an increase of bloodshed we shall not
have to bear the responsibility for it..
The German nation, which feels
neither hatred nor hostility against
the United States of America, shall
also bear and overcome this"
