IF

If you can hold your head up while
the others
Are dropping theirs from marches
and fatigue;
II you can drill in dust that clouds
and smothers,
And still be fit to hike another
league;
II you can stand the greasy food and
dishes,
The long black nights, the lone
some road, the blues;
II YOU can choke back all the gloomy
wishes
For home that seem to spring
right from your shoes;
If you can laugh at sick call and the
pill boys,
When all the other lads are check
ing in;
If you can kid and jolly all the kill
joys.
Whose faces long ago forgot to
grin;
If at parade you stand fast at atten-
ton.
When every muscle shrieks aloud
with painS
If you can grin and snicker at the
mention
OF some bone play connected with
your name;
If you succeed to keep your knees
from knocking.
At thoughts of all the bullets you
may stop;
If you can do these things and really
like 'em,
You'll be reg'lar soldier yet, Old
top.-D. H. W., in The Trou-
Bile Buster (U. s. General Hospital
No. 2, Fort McHenry.)

Germany Is Weakening

The condition of the German
army now verges on demoralization;
Az no time in the war has it suffered
such heavy losses in men and guns.
The tally of prisoners taken by the
Allies in little more than six weeks
must be near 10000 with Haig's
latest success. The Germans are
gravely crippled by waning power of
artillery. Their casualties have re-
Gently been enormous. 1t is evident
that they cannot bring up enough
reserves to stop the Allies. The Ger
mans are in the shadow of a great
disaster on the western 'front.'

OUR BOYS IN BATTLE

= LIEUTENANT LONG and Lieu
tenant Swartz, the Harrisburg
officers first to arrive home
after participation in the fighting
along the Marne, bring back to the
home folks the thrilling atmosphere
of that wonderful series of battles
in which the Keystone troops turned
the tide and sent the Hun hordes
reeling back toward Germany. When
the whole story of that wonderful
achievement shall have been told
the people of the United States will
realize as never before the fighting
qualities of the average American
soldier and the high morale of those
who are making the stand for lib
erty and decency three thousand
miles away.

DISCONTINUANCE or even sharp

- iOAh tii0 11oiIoL dho
DISCONTINUANCE or even sharp
- curtailment of advertising be-
cause of temporary war condi-
tions, would seem to imperil the
mess has-namely, it's good will. No
more faulty logic can be found than
that which would imperil q manu-
facturer to cease building for the
future by means of advertising SIM
ply because the output of his factory
is, for the time being, restricted; or
because diversion of his facilities to
war work has operated to withhold
his goods from accustomed markets.
In modern business there can be no
sufficient-unto-the-day policy.
In advertising the businessman
has built up the intangible or spir-
itual side of his business, if such
it may be designated, as distinct
from the material side. 1t is the
spiritual side, as represented by
goodwill, that is slower of growth
and that is the more seriously jeop-
ardized by neglect-neglect which
could take no more disastrous form
than an interruption to advertising.
For example, If have the requi-
site capital 1 can build alongside the
plant of the Columbia Graphophone
Company a factory equal in all re-
spects to the Columbia manu1ac-
tory. Assume that 1 can turn out
an instrument comparable in every
way to the Columbia product ana IN
equal numbers. Yet l am not even
a going concern. l cannot sell tnat
instrument to the public in prohtaoi0
quantities until build up the good
will that the Columbia Company mas
acquired by years of advertising.
Goodwill, in my estimation, is far
more valuable than the physical
property with which it is linked.
The physical property is, in meas
ure, useless without the vitalizins
spark of goodwill
That, at times such as the pres
ent, there should be some hesitancy
regarding advertising policy may be
because it has never been scientific-
ally determined what proportion or
advertising expense is an operating
charge and what proportion a capl-
tai charge. In my estimation, only
a small part. if any, of advertising
expenditure is properly chargeable
as a current item of sales expense;
but is, rather, when, translated into
terms of goodwill, a permanent in
vestment and hence capital
charge Given this conviction, 1T
must appear quite as shortsighted
to discontinue advertising merely
because the war has momentarily

Since the expulsion OF Prince Lich-

Lords for telling the truth, it is
doubtful If there are ten righteous
men left in Sodom.-Col. Harveys
War Weekly.
Writing in the North American
It"-Maurice Low discusses the war
from the Englishman's viewpoint,
saying: For the last few years
Americans have been talking about
the wonderful efficiency of Germany
and bemoaning their own ineftici-
ency, reproaching themselves for not
having patterned after German ex-
ample. What it has taken Germany
forty years to do, what for forty
years has been the life of Germany,
the one thought on which her people
have centered, the idea around which
all Germany has revolved, America
will have done in two years. That
may seem an exaggerated statement,
but it is nevertheless true. A year
hence the United States will, II nee
essary, have q larger army in the
field than Germany had at the be-
ginning of the war. A year hence
the American Navy will be more
powerful than that of Germany. A
year hence the guns, ammunition and
aeroplanes manufactured by the
United States in the first two years
of the war will exceed the material
with which Germany entered the
war"
