Ads Get Working Capital

advertising is as difficult to de-
fine as love" Carlisle y. Greig, noted
expert, told the Retail Merchants
Association in Atlanta.
Advertising is a sort of super
salesman" said Mr.. Greig. "a mega
phone voice which appeals to a great
number of people at the same time.
Advertising is any kind of salesman
you want him to be. Advertising
will bring 'em in, money in hand.
to take away the merchandise you
wish to turn into cash-to-day for
this reason, tomorrow for that. II
is much more than a salesman-it
is the special partner that provides
working capital, that finds the funds
to pay the bills before they come due.
when advertising fails. it is be-
cause it is underworked or over
worked"

BOLSHEVIKISM

THE average American citizen
cannot know too much of the
development OF the movement
against law and order under the
name OF Bolshevism. 1t would be
quite as much OF a menace under
any other name and it is for the
people OF the United States to take
a firm grip on themselves in order
to prevent being swept off their
feet by the impossible doctrines of
these prophets of unrest and dis
order. 1t is because of the great
interest in the world conditions that
the address of L. o. Armstrong, at
the luncheon meeting of the Cham
Der of Commerce Friday, was of spe-
cial interest to a large represen-
tation OF the membership of the
central business body. DR.. Arm
strong is a Canadian traveller and
explorer of international fame and
has made a study of the Bolsheviki
movement.
1t is too often the case that groups
of otherwise intelligent people in
this country are led far afield
through what they are pleased to
regard as their sympathy for the
under dog" Recently at Boston
some women Of high social connec-
ton condemned the deportation of
alien anarchists and evoked cheers
for the I. W. W. and the Bolshevists.
This, in spite of the fact that anar-
chists in Russia, according to testi-
mony before a committee of United
States Senate, have taken over the
government in cities and towns OF
that unhappy country and among
other DEGREES have placed women on
a par with beasts. While these edicts
may not be observed in all their
details, they serve to demonstrate
the degeneracy of the men who are
responsible for the present intolera-
bic conditions in a large part of Eu-
rope.

THEN AND NOW

Beneath her window in the fragrant
night
I half forget how truant years
have flown
Since I looked up to see her cham
ber-light,
Or, catch, perchance, her slender
shadow thrown
Upon the easement; but the nodding
leaves
Sweep lazily across the unlit pane,
And to and fro beneath the shadowy
caves,
Like restless birds. the breath of
coming rain
Creeps, lilac-laden. UP the village
street
When all is still, as IL the very
trees
Were listening for the coming of her
feet
That come no more; yet, lest I
weep, the breeze
Sings some forgotten song of those
old years
Until my heart grows far too glad
for tears.

Gods Covenant to Solomon

thou hast not asked riches, wealth

mayest judge my people, over whom

Seaweed Substitute For Oats

Experiments with alimentary sea-
weed as a substitute for oats in
feeding horses seem to prove con-
clusively the worth of the seaweed.
The tests were conducted in France
under the supervision of governmnt
veterinarians, and horses fed with
the seaweed fattened more rapidly
than those having regular rations of
oats. The seaweed, 1t is said, grows
in abundance on the Brittany coast.

stroying the things which most men
and women hold dear, the Bolshevik
element threatens to overspread the
world unless the inherent decency
of all nations is mobilized behind
law and order wherever there is a
threat of this after-war plague.
Bolshevism, with which some of
the alleged intellectuals OF this coun-
try are said to be flirting, is char
acterized by forceful writer as
organized hatred. plunder. savagery
and lust. Plain speaking is going
to be necessary to overcome this
menace to the world and the inteli-
gence of the American people may
be trusted to safeguard the insti-
tutions which we of the United
States have cherished and to which
the oppressed peoples of other lands
have looked with hope through q
long period of years.
On his way back to Holland from
Russia, DR.. Oudendijk, the Dutch

broken open and about 50 in cash
taken. The desk was ransacked by
the thieves, but 1t was impossible to

IN
ROBBER CHASE
Boys Arrested for Breaking Into
Stores Here

The arrest OF three young thieves
by Patrolman Michael Fitzpatrick
assisted by Patrolman Gaydos. short
ly after midnight Saturday, Is ex-
pected to clean up all the robberies
that have been committed in this
section of late.
Fitzpatrick. who was trying doors
on the western side OF Maple street,
happened to see several persons in
the army and navy store across the
street. Just as he was about to enter
the rear of the store the robbers
noticed him and they started through
the plate glass door. An exciting
chase followed in which four shots
were fired and Fitzpatrick's police
whistle attracted the attention OF
Patrolman Gaydos who was doing
duty in the Dublin section of the city.
After an exciting chase in which
the two patrolmen Outlegged the
boys, j. Jonelunas, 1852 Mary street;
Frank Boyer, 721 Hommann avenue,
and Tony Mancini, of Cliffwood, were
taken into police headquarters
charged with breaking and entering.
The culprits confessed to the rob-
bing of number of other stores and
places of business around the city
and the spying of these young rob-
bers at work speaks well for the
patroling of Fitzpatrick, who was
commended for his good work by
Chief Burke when his squad went on
duty last night.

MODIFY Terms
OF PROTOCOL
Belief in Paris That Germany
viii Sign Pact
BU Special CorreSpOndenf.
bA DIG No o M. -

PARIS. Dec. S.-The Allies have
consented to modify some of the terms
of the protocol, putting the peace
treaty into effect. to which Germany
had made objections.
The clause providing for indemnity
for the destruction of the German
fleet at Scapa Flow, has been modified
SO as to refer to the Hague tribunal
the question whether the delivery of
the tonnage demanded will cripple
Germany, it is understood.
The understanding, also, is that the
other features Of the protocol, most
Objectionable to the Germans, have
been eliminated, and the expectation
here is that the German plenipoten-
tiary will sign the protocol without
much further delay.
The final paragraph of the protocol,
providing that even after the peace
treaty has gone into effect the Allies
might use military measures of coer-
cion to insure the execution of the
treaty's terms, has been eliminated
entirely. 1t also has left out the clause
relating to the evacuating of the Bal
tic provinces by German troops.
The imputation of responsibility to
Germany for the sinking of the Scapa
Flow fleet is left in the protocol.
According to the best information
obtainable, the note to the German
plenipotentiary, regarding the sigma
ture of the protocol setting forth the
Allies position as indicated. will be
handed to Baron Won Lersner, head of
the German Mission this afternoon.

WIPE OUT EVIL
SAYS MINISTER
Rev. Mr.. WestCOtt Says It's
Time for City TO Act

Taking as the theme for his sermon
the recent developments in this city,
brought to light as the result of the
vice roundup being conducted here,
Rev. Wilbert Westcott, pastor Of the
Simpson NJ. E. church last night, de-
clared that "it is time for the chuches
and people of Perth Amboy TO act and
wipe out evil before it wipes us out"
Rev. Mr.. Westcott took as his text
Isaiah, Chapter IS, eleventh verse:
And I will punish the world for
their evil and the wicked for their
iniquity." Conditions, the pastor said.
exist not only in this city but
throughout the country which should
be rooted up and cast away from us
before they gain the hold on this
country similar to that which spelled
ruin for Egypt, Rome, Greece, Garth
age, Babylon and other ancient
places.
Perth Amboy,' Mr.. Westcott
said, lis just as good as any city OF
its size and not any worse. / have
no fight or axe to grind with the
police department. I have some very
good friends in their midst but ru-
mors have it that even the police
department is in league with the evil
doers, carrying on lottery games,
frequenting gambling joints and pro-
tecting undesirable characters" The
pastor mentioned Sergeant Niels J.
Tonnesen, Detective John Murray
and Traffic Officer Albert Mcdonald
as men of excellent character. Chief
Burke, Rev. Mr.. Westcott said, has
always granted him a favor and
given him a hearing on all matters.
Roundsman William Calvin, he said,
is man who has the highest con-
ception of duty.
THE police" the pastor said, will
do what the good citizens of Perth
Amboy want them to do If they are
given the right moral support. Let
us back them to the limit" Contin-
uing, Mr. Westcott said: at is time
for the Church of God to speak out
We have got to hand It to the Devil
for the way he works. He leads
fellow on with promises of happiness
and a good time to a grave covered
with flowers and green grass"

before efforts were made to check it,
is is improbable if the matter will
be dropped at this stage of the clean
up.
Prosecutor Joseph e. Stricken has
given orders to "go the limit" and
armed with capiasese coming from
the two county and city detectives
are making swift progress in running
down all who have been mentioned
by those already arrested of having
had a part in this crime.
1t is reported that several of those
charged with having been connected
with this affair and who fed from
the city to escape arrest have been
traced and more arrests outside of
Perth Amboy are expected at any
moment
Following the returning of forty
six indictments by the September term
grand jury at New Brunswick this
morning, the pleas of two of the first
men arrested in the raid were receiv-
ed. Peter Caparale, of this city,
pleaded not guilty to a charge Of as
saulting fourteen year old Helen An
dersen in this city on Nov II and had
bail fixed at $4,000 or $4,000 cash
bond. Joseph Laszertura, charged with
a similar crime on the same girl on
November 10, also pleaded not guilty
The same bail was fixed in his case.
The effect of the vice cleanup is
being felt by the local police who had
their ranks lessened by two as the re-
suit of arrests of the two patronlen
on Friday night. The uncertainty OF
conditions on the force prior to this
action under orders from the county
coming as the result of COM
plants made against Roundsman Will
liam Calvin, has been increased now
that two members of the force have
been charged with being connected
with the crime

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 7-J. Walter
Hansen, who furnished the bail upon
which w. O. Jenkins, the American

ed, declared in a statement tonight,

tive. Mr. Hansen said
II wish to say the following: On
Tuesday morning last on account Of
certain facts that came to my atten-
tion which ! am in no position to dis
close l suddenly realized that war be-
tween the United States and Mexico
was inevitable, unless one Of the two
governments was ready to sacrifice
its honor, prestige and dignity by re-
ceding from the dangerous position
into which it was forced.
II therefore took all the steps nee
essary to effect the immediate release
on bail of w. o. Jenkins, and relieve
the tension. l did so spontaneously
and on my own initiative, and I am
ready and willing to take upon myself
the full responsibility or credit ac-
cording to the point Of view
1T was a source of infinite pleas

the release ,sof Jenkins cheered our
President, and I ardently hope that
his complete recovery is here"
