Local merchants Of push AID energy
who are alive and Up-to-date, also
realize tina. the best results come from
regular, consistent advertising, and
ike the larger firms, they reckon the
expense Of advertising al an invest

With this fact now universally
adopted a. business rule, the ques-

With this fact recognized comes the

This is based upon the circulation Of

The real value Of newspaper adver-

the paper IN which it is printed. The
more readers the paper has. the more
valuable the advertising, hence the
higher price that should be paid for
it. A newspaper Of 500 circulation is
not worth as much to advertisers as

When that time arrives those respon-

German Sources
In this story throughout, as in the
the preceding installments, the evi-
dence is drawn mainly from German
and American sources. The German
sources include official proclamations
and other official utterances, letters
and diaries OF German soldiers and
quotations from German newspapers
The diaries which are so frequently
quoted from unique source The rules
for Field Service of the German army
advises each soldier TO keep such a
diary while on active service. Very
many German soldiers who have been
taken prisoner had kept such diaries,
and these have been confiscated by the
captors. Many have been published,
frequently with facsimile reproduc-
tions to guarantee their authenticity.
The best known collection was made
by Bedier, whom Prof. Holman. of
the University of Berlin. properly de
scrihed as ''the distinguished Prof Jo-
seph Bedier of the College de France" :"
OF Bedier's publication Prof Nyrop of
the University of Copenhagen, says
"He has translated the diaries and
commented upon them Just as one
does with all old historical documents,
and, in order that everyone NAV be in
a position to check up his work, he
has also accomanied the account with
facsimile copies Of the documents he
used. Here, accordingly, at the out
set every proof of the evidence which
he has employed is provided. No fal
sification is possible. The accounts
are those Of witnesses, and these
eyewitnesses are Germans. They tell
what they themselves or their COM
rades have done and Bedier accompa
MES their remarks with running COM
,nents which show that not only have
common laws a,id the Hague conven-
tions been violated, but sins have al
so been committed against the most
elementary laws of humanity. Both
the material and the entation are
unassai!able The details which are
provided by the German soldiers in
regard to their own acts are horror
striking"
Prof. Holman attempted to prove
that Bedier had made mistakes in
translating and interpreting, but he
did not deny the genuineness Of the
diaries. "These notebooks" h. says,
may well be authentic and / accept
this without further comment for all
those which are provided with the
1ame OF their authors and whose au-
