Advertising Rates.

There are some folks who simply
can't understand why a newspaper
should charge money for advertising
space. For the benefit of these per-
sons, who seem to think that adver-
Using is not valuable, we beg leave
to quote the 1917 rates issued by
two of the leading magazines of the
United States:
For the Ladies' Home Journal,
f..r one issue as follows, So line.
$6 600 full inside page: 81 900 the
second or third cover in two colors,
So 600 for the third cover in three
or four colors; $40, 900 for the fourth
cover in four colors. For the Sat
urday Evening Post, a rate of So a
line is announced; $1,000 for full
page; Sc, 900 for second cover in two
colors; $4,000 for center double
page in black, or $12. 900 for double
page in two colors.
And if it didn't pay the advertis-
ers who use the two publications
above referred to. it is . cinch that
they wouldn't spend their money
buying space therein.-Jackson Daily

DiSgraCefnl Paper Money.

The Rochester Herald takes a shot
at the disease germs, saying that the
talk about the germs is greater pest
than the germs themselves. The
Herald is specially active in show
ing that soiled paper money is not
necessarily dangerous.
An experience which covers two
yellow fever epidemics and three
smallpox epidcmics, to say nothing
of epidemic visitations of diphthe-
ria, measles and scarlet fever" de-
clares the Herald, has failed to
disclose single instance in which
a bank clerk has been made vic
tim OF contagion. And respecting
the carrying of germs in books, to
engage in business of buying and
selling old books seems to insure
long life to the dealer"
Granting that this is true, isn't
cleanliness worth considering from
the point of view of good taste? 1t
i'll becomes this great and glorious
republic that its paper money, and
the paper money of its chartered
banks, should present to view the
aspect of dirty tramp, a soiled and
tattered beggar. The government
should be ashamed of its progeny

Gen. Wood commends Univeraal
Service Bill.

That the people of the entire coun-
try will endorse the plan for univer-
sal service was a direct assertion
made by Major-General Leonard
Wood to the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs in its hearings on
the universal service bill introduced
by Senator Chamberlain, chairman
of the committee.
What do you think is the feeling
of the people toward universal train
ing?" asked Senator Thomas. of the
committee.
Il believe the people will endorse
it today" replied Gen. Wood. Labor
is with you when you make it abso-
lutely certain that all men, rich or
poor, will share alike in military SER
vice. There is practically no mill
tary defense for this country today.
We are dealing, in consideration of
this proposed universal training,
with a matter of national life saw
ing. Universal training is the only
way in which we ever will get
an adequate military defense in this
country. 1t is anti-militaristic and
purely democratic. We must get it
and get it quickly"
To which Major-Gen. Hugh l..
Scott, chief of staff of the army, adj
ded that all of the nations of the
world the United States and China
alone relied on volunteers to defend
their national existence. Then, he
recounted the failures of the volun-
teer system in the war of the revo-
luton and the war of 1912, and
showed how it failed both the Union
and the Confederacy in the civil war.
Such testimony from such experts
has made an impression in Wash
lgton and pressure from home"
N the members of Congress might
influence them to heed the warning.
Much pressure might be forthcom-
ing if the people in general knew
that such authorities had so testi-
fed.

for his passports. He in
formed the department the
order for his action was is
sued yesterday.

at Berne, cabled the department that
the break was ordered yesterday.
Ambassador Penfield knows nothing
of the break in relations, as he left
Vienna on April Z.
BULGARIA AND TURKEY.
There has been no change. however,
in the status of relations between this
government and Turkey and Bulgaria,
it was officially stated.
1t would not be surprising, however,
if they shortly followed the lead of
Austria.
The passports will Re made immed-
lately available for Baron Zwiedinek.
for Count TarnoWski-who has never
been received here as Austrian ambas-
sador-for the entire embassy stair
and for all Austrian consular, diplo-
matte and commercial attaches

before the usual formalities can be
gone through and the Austrian party
started on its way.
This government, of course. will con-
suit with other members of the entente
allies as to safe conduct, means of
TRANSPORTATION, etc.

"Relations with Austria were broken
yesterday
TO OBTAIN SAFE CONDUCT.
The state department announced
that it win get the party safe conduct
and that the procedure is similar to
that when won Bernstorff left.
The point was emphasized this af-
ternoon that in breaking off diplomatic
relations with Austria, America is not

pie The situation is parallel with
Americas break with Germany and
