LEAVE IT TO FOCH
Is the Plan Advanced by Viscount
Northcliffe

London, Oct. 15-<'The speed Of
the German reply is indicative Of the
anxiety the Germans feel for the
safety Of their rapidly retreating ar
N.Y." said Viscount Northcliffe to an
Associated Press representative to-
night.
"You will remember, at the time
they were being questioned about the
Lusitania, they played for delay, de-
lay, delay" he continued. "Now they
are fighting to gain days, even hours.
AS I read their reply, it is neither
candid nor straightforward. 1t con-
sists Of evasions. These evasions are
made for the purpose Of unbalancing
the minds of the simple folks in allied
countries and for the purpose of con-
vincing the disconnected section of
the German people that the allies will
not accept what is declared by them
to look like a reasonable offer of
peace.
"The character of the answer
shows the atmosphere of equivocation
in which the German government
lives and moves. Germany, in fact,
only declares herself ready to com
ply. She does not comply. She has
rot accepted the presidents terms.
She only says-untruly-that those
terms have been accepted.

be providing material for great
prolongation Of the war If we leave
the matter to Marshal Foch, he viii

key is going out. Austria-Hungary
is on the verge of a revolution.

cans, associated with the armies Of

AFTER PHOSPHATE LANDS
Half a Billion Tons Used to Be Con
trol1ed by the Germans


Washington, Oct. 16-Control Of
valuable and extensive deposits Of
phosphate rock on Pleasant Island
ard Ocean Island, former German
property now in the hands of the
British, is being sought by Australia
and New Zealand with a view to
working the deposits and using the
fertilizing agent on the soil of the
South Pacific colonies.
The Islands are located about mid
way between the Marshall and Solo
mon Islands and are Of coral forma-
ton. For ages they have been the
rookeries of sea birds that have de-
posted guano; and this has impreG-
mated the limestone, forming phos-
phate rock about forty feet deep
The quantity OF phosphates available
Is estimated at 500,0C0000 tons and
rs fertilizer it is said to rival the
famous nitrate of Chile.

EFFECTIVE ADVERTISING

During this history making period of war; bus
mess is apt to be less disIOcated in spots and
it behOOves every live merchant and dealer TO get his
house in order
"DeadwOOd" has place in business in these
stirring times. The mark of the live merchant
the live dealer is indebly expressed in his adver-
vertising. Thrift and economy is the order of the
day. but thrift and economy that curtails efficiency
will not help business. To cut advertising space is
to curtail efficiency, which means, later,
the falling into the 'deadwOOd" class of the mer-
chant or dealer who follows such false economy.
The effectiveness of liberal advertising is not
dOubted The effectiveness of liberal advertising in
The CaledOnian is proven by direct and indirect
suits coming each day to the live merchants and
dealers who are using liberal space.

THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPE
ARE GIVING TOASTED
CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS

To snyone who doesn't know Of the
wondet ful advances that have been made
in the preparation of smoking tobaccos
ia the last few years it may sound strange
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking, we should say ciga-
rettes made Of toasted tobacco; the smok-
ers Of this country will recognize it more
readily by its trade name. LUCKY
STRIKE the toasted cigarette.
The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions Of these toasted ciga-
rettes and these are being bought in
enormous quantities through the various
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers Of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to the boys
in France.
This new process of treating tobacco
not only improves the flavor of the tobacco
but il seals in this flavor and makes
the cigarettes keep better.
The Red Cross nurse is always glad to
have a cigarette for the wounded soldier,
as, in most instances. that is the first
thing asked for.
