The Printed Word.
Boston Glohe.l

\ woman with wide experience in
propaganda once declared that she had
found the printed word more powerful
than the spoken word Speech has the
advantage of personality; but print,
she believed. has more lasting effect
on the eye of the mind.
This theory is suhstantiated by the
report of the Fourth Liberty loan. a
report the more gratifying TO New Eng
land because of the handicap under
which we labored. The three weeks of
the loan campaign found us over
whelmed in the epidemic. Crowds were
taboo. Public places were darkened
with shutters. No meetings, no rallies.
no parades, no oratory-the spoken word
reduced to those who had hardihood
enough 10 make a h0uSe-to-hOuSe can
vass, as numbers. to their credit be it
said, did have.
Even under such odds New England
oversubscribed It's quota to the Fourth
Liberty loan by a higher percentage
than any other district. This means
that New England S first place was won
by the propaganda of the printed word
! 1t Is testimony to the prevalence of
newspaper reading and a vOciferous
proof of the power of the newspaper to
carry the message.

But the next best thing to seeing a
parade is hearing about ii, and so /
will fell you about it this evening.
There were great many men In
the parade and they carried American
fiags, as they wanted to show the peo-
pie who watched that they were very
patriotic and loyal, and the people
clapped. for many of them had not
been able to march in the parade, but
still wanted to show how fine they
thought 1t was"

and camels. l thought you were going

Patriotism means that we love our
country and will do anything for it."

were marching.
"All those who stood on the side
walks clapped and shouted. How fine
it was! How proud and happy they
all felt!
But, after many bands had gone
by, many soldiers, many sailors, many
men in plain clothes carrying the lit
tie flags, and after many big American
flags had gone by, when all the men
took off their hats in honor to the
flag, part of the parade came along
that was unexpected.
"A wagon drawn by four big horses,
and upon the wagon was an enormous
cage which covered it all up. And In
his cage were homing pigeons.
ION the side of the wagon was writ
ten little story about the. pigeons,
telling how they had taken messages
through all sorts of dangers, how brave
they had been, how clever, and how
they had thought of their duty and not
of themselves.
"And when that wagon passed along
carrying the honling pigeons every one
clapped harder than ever, for here

had done all they could for the cOun.

we snail pass out of the storm area and
danger zone into the calm of peace and
security. The present outlook is most
encouraging. II may be summarized
as follows:
/ An armistlce was granted To Tur-
Key the last day of October after what
/ is believed to have been an uncondi-

include the free passage of the allied
/ fleets through the Bosphorus to the
Black sen, the occupation of certain
forts and the giving up of prisoners of
war. This means, of course. that Tur-
key is definitely out of the war.
