Effective Immediately, No More
Direct Shipments Will Be
Made Retailers. All Ship
ments Now Go to Jobbers
for Redistribution.

When the influenza epidemic struck
the country and wiped out our ware
house and jobbers' stocks almost
over night, we were faced with the
problem of distributing - to the
stricken districts-in the quickest pos
sible manner-our daily output of
VapoRub. We solved this by offer
ing to ship direct to the retailers in
these influenza districts, by parcel
post prepaid, quantities of not more
than three dozen VapoRub in any
one shipment. and by shipping wha,
was left from our daily production to
our jobbers by express instead OF
freight
This was costly. but it solved the
problem for the time being. Now,
however, We fnd that these smaii
shipments are constantly Increasing

BARNETT BACK;
LAUDS MARINES
Corps Commandant Brings
First Helmet Captured at
Chateau Thierry.

Bringing with him the first hel e.
met, revolver and sword taken from
a German at Chateau Thierry, when
the Marines turned the tide of war
from defeat to victory, Mai. Gen.
George c. Barnett, commandant of
the Marine Corps, L. S. N, return
ed to Washington yesterday after
nine weeks abroad, during which lie
inspected the work of his corps. The
presentation of these trophies was
made by Gen. Harbold, commanding
officer of the Marines, American Ex-
peditionary Forces.
What the Marines did abroad was
due to the caliber of the men we had
in our corps, to their high sense of
duty. their patriotism and to intensive
training they were given before being
sent across" Gen. Barnett said.
Many College Men.
Our corps was fortunate to attract
a large number of college men-per-
haps, because OF the combination we
offered of land and sea service. They
were capable OF profiting by the train
ing course we offered, grasping in q
very short time the essentials OF our
work. We particularly emphasized tar
L >
c., and at Quantico, Va, where we
mad the most skilled American,
French and British instructors thar
could be obtained.
The craftsmanship of the work of
our corps at Chateau Thierry and
Belleau Wood was gratifying to their
instructors and officers. We found
they sighted their guns and found
their ranges as accurately and as
deadly as if on the training field
at Quantico.
The spirit and cheer of our wound
ed made a deep impression" Gen.
Barnett said. IF a lad lost an eve,
he was glad that it wasn't his arm;
il his arm was gone, he would say,
Well. I still have both legs No
affiiction had affected his attitude
of cheerfulness.
Gen. Barnett was in Paris the morn
ing peace was declared. The an
nouncement was made known about
IL o'clock BY the ringing of bells and
the blowing of whistles. THE French
celebrated the end of the war" said
Gen. Barnett, by family groups in

resolution criticising Mayor Hylan's
appointment of William Randolph

with John A. Dutton. provides that
President Bonynge, of the club. shall
head a committee of nine to collabo-
rate with other public bodies in organ
izing protest meeting against Mr..
Hearst serving on the committee. The
resolution reads:
Call Hearst Unnt.
Whereas, Mayor Hylan has an
nounced the appointment as a member
OF the reception committee to our boys
returning from the war in Europe and
also as chairman OF a committee to
erect a monument for suitable memo
rial to the memory of those who have
given their lives and who will not re-
turn and persists in retaining Mr..
Hearst on such committee, notwith-
standing protests on the part of Or
ganizations and prominent citizens and
large part of the press of the city;
and
Whereas, the loyalty OF Mr.. Hearst
to his country is discredited by his
own utterances and by the disclosures
of n committee OF the United States
Senate and his position as chairman

to the loyal city OF New York and an
insult to its citizens, particularly TO
the men who have given their lives

Resolved. That the president of

the purpose of calling a general
meeting of citizens to publicly pro-

City:
Dear Sir: At the meeting of the

December 13, it was unanimously
agreed that an open letter be sent
to you emphatically protesting
against the appointment of Mr.. Will
liam r. Hearst to serve on the COM
mittee to welcome the returning SOL
diers. In the opinion of those pres
ent 1t is an insult to the boys who
have fought so valiantly that the

militarism and arrogance that a
man of Mr.. Hearst's proved German
sympathies should represent this
great municipality on that commit
tee.

What the Press Agent Says, That Say |

There Is q distinct and steady
growth Of patriotism throughout
the United States. whatever of
half-heartedness there was at the
beginning of Americas participa-
tion in the World War has entirely
disappeared. The word "Pacifism'
has almost been forgotten.
This growth of patriotic fervor
has been accentuated by the con-
viction that America Is engaged in
a great and glorious crusade for
Democracy: by the sacrifices that
necessarily have been made, and
must be made to constantly
growing extent as the struggle con-
tinues, by the knowledge of the i'm
portant position America occupies
on the firing line, and a sense Of the
losses that SO deeply touch the
hearts and lives of the American
people. a

gust 25, Is serving a great and L.
full purpose. Through it's wonder -
fully pictorialized scenes one learns
to appreciate the tremendous eff
fort that is being made by the gov
ernment, not only to keep the
steady stream of boys in khaki GO
ing to France. but also the colossal
work required to keep them sup
piled with food. clothing, guns and
ammunition. All this is visualized
in Americas Answer in a way
that shows the government has no
desire to hide any of its activities
from the public, but, on the con-
trary. is anxious to let those who
must pay for the war know Just
how the billions they have con-
tributed. and must continue to con-
tribute, are being expended.
Manager Robbins, of Keith's, has
been working the past few weeks
with Mark Klaw, A. L. Erlanger and
other theatrical powers in their eff
forts to secure some amelioration of
the hardships imposed upon theat-
rical folks by the Railroad Admins
tration regulations and the coming
additional war revenue legislation.
The managers are willing to bear
their share and a little more of the

all will come out right in the end
