In Defense of Her Elad.

How the union jack was ably de-
Tended by an Irishwoman in the streets
of Paris ON July is amusingly told:
Outside one of the biggest drapery
shops of Paris two ladies handled a
union jack which lay on a great pile of
flags for sale and remarked in French
On its cheapness. The salesman. I'M
skilled in accents, was rash enough to
explain the low price by saying that
the union jack wasn't in season. He
received in reply the most eloquent
discourse attainable by an indignant
of unblemished loyalty !;
and an Irish brosue speaking French
/ is an engine Of war before which the
most Intrepid must quail. There is
one Frenchnian who will never again
suggest that there is, close season
in union jacks. q

EFFECTIVE ADVERTISING

During this histOry-making period of war, bus
mess is apt to be or less dslocated in spots and
it behooves every live merchant and dealer to get his
house i'm order
"DeadwOOd" has no place in business in these
stirring times The mark of the live merchant or
the live dealer is ndebly 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, sooner or 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

U-DOAT'S VICTIM HELD
TO WIN BONUS FOR CREW
Torpedoed Oil Ships First Oficer
Is Taken Prisoner From
Life Boat.

AN ATLANTIC PORT. April 6.-When
the American oil steamship Atlantic
Sun, of 1883 tons gross. was torpedoed
and sunk by German submarine In
the war zone a few weeks ago Sthe
first officer was taken prisoner by the
crew of the U-boat according to mem
bers of the oil vessels crew who ar
rived here today.
Capt. Montague Prowse. who con-
f1rmed the story of the sailors, told OF
his own remarkable escape from death.
A torpedo struck the Atlantic Sun in
the port side and penetrated an oil
tank. which. exploding. blew a large
hole in the side of the vessel. The
captains cabin was wrecked and the
skipper fell into the hold. and the
rush of oil to the surface carried him
through the aperture which the tor
pedo had made and he found himself
floating in the debris.
While the submarine was shelling
the damaged vessel the latter's crew
rescued Capt. Prowse. The U-boat ap-
preached their lifeboat and the second
officer informed the Germans that the
captain had perished The submarine
commander thereupon ordered the first
officer whose name Capt. Prowse would
not disclose today, into the U-boat,
the German explaining that he was
obliged to produce an officer in order
to obtain bonus which he said the
German government had offered for
sinkings.
The Atlantic Sun hailed from Phila-
delphia- She was built at Newcastle,
Del, in 1893.
