HUN GOVERNMENT
RECOGNIZES HIGH
VALUE ADVERTISING

Berne, Oct. 3o.-Germany reeog-
nized fully in its seventh war loan,
the value of advertising. It availed
itself to the full of methods that
might be called Amerit an in their
spectacular qualities and that proba-
bly, contr' Lutel materially to such
success as the last lean just closed,
achieved.
Yet these advertisements, specta-
, cular and clever as they were. and
American as they seemed to be. re-
vealed, perhaps unconsciously, the
fneir spectacular effectiveness, they
told story that it is doubtful wheth-
er Germany wanted told.
j The display advertisements that
appeared daily in every important
| German journal from the middle of
September until October IA contained
| two outstanding features. Almost in
variably they contained more or less
passionate and only thinly yelled as
surances that investment in the loan
was safewhich surely would have
been serious doubt in the minds OF
the German people who were asked
to subscribe. And, again and again,
the public was implored to subscribe
without thinking, without considera-
ton, and was more or less deliber-
ately asked to abandon its customary
caution in choosing its investments
and subscribe merely as patriotic
duty, regardless of what the value of
the investment might be.
The advertising for the seventh
loan, like the fifth and sixth, was
operated from central bureau that
prepared the py"-striking two
and three-column display advertise
-ments-and sent it to every impor-
tant paper. Provincial papers, in
a14ition, were encouraged to vary the
program with advertisements of their
own that presented particular APP
peal to their own readers. Papers in
cities bomber by the French inter
larded the stock advertisements with
appeals to their readers to subscribe
to the seventh war loan as an answer
to the acts of the Entente in bonn
harding unfortified cities.
The Stuttgart papers furnish Z
good example of the way in which the
. provincial German press has taker

Later, being discovered by a Union
gunboat, the America was raised and
used by the navy.
Following the close of the war the
America was, put up at public auction
and purchased by Gen. B. F. Butler,
who entered her in several racing
events with but Indifferent success
and eventually he used the yacht for
cruising. For some years she has
been berthed at Boston and several
times reported about to be scrapped.
At present the America is in the
hands of a syndicate of Eastern
Yacht Club members who are appar-
emily willing to sell the America to
Sir. Thomas Upton, providing he viii
agree to preserve the yacht which
was the original winner of the trophy
that now bears her name.

Flanders in the balance. the German
command is making desperate ef-
fort to balk the British plans and is
fighting hard for every inch of the
ground protecting the Lille-Ostend

point of the advancing British army.
Five violent counter attacks BY the
Germans along the Ypres-Alenin road

was hurled back with heavy losses.
Heavy artillery fighting is reported
along the Aisne front and the French
have repulsed all German attacks.
Germany is withdrawing large
number of Austrian troops from
France and rushing them to the Ital-
ian front to meet the renewed Of.
fensive of General Cadorna. being
alarmed over his recent drive.
German airmen have made six at
tacks on London in eight days, but
inflicted comparatively few casual
tiles by the bombs they dropped.

FARMERS URGED TO SHIP

Farmers are urged to ship their
wheat and other food products as a
patriotic measure. With prices for
wheat established by the govern
ment. Secretary G. W. Murnane of

that no advantage can be derived
from holding such grains in farm ele-
vators.
"The roads can promptly handle
wheat to storage centers now and
such movement will facilitate the
manufacture Of -four for domestic
consumption and for export to our
allies. That is why the railroads
are appealing to farmers for quick
action. Later, when many more pro-
ducts must be hauled. congestion and
delays are more likely.
