Merchants Of Orient Soon Learn Value Of
Advertising Even to Making Use of Space
Outside of Their Establishments
BY International News service.

New York, April 26.-The Ameri-
can traveller in the Orient number
of years ago was confronted at every
turn by signs and banners inscribed
with characters quite beyond his
comprehensive; today he finds num-
erous posters and advertising signs
in English. While this may be a
cause OF JOY to the advertising man
or to the bewildered tourist, it is a
grief to the soul OF the artist, and an
irritation to the precise mind OF the
grammarian.
To one of artistic temperament a
street criss-crossed with lines from
which hang silk and cotton banners
of every hue, inscribed with fantas-
tic characteristic old method of
Advertising in Japan--is infinitely
more pleasing and interesting than
the blatant mention of corn removers
and patent medicine in brutal En-
glish, with crude attempts at An
glicized illustrations.
The English employed in these
signs cannot always be taken in at
a glance One needs to pause and
ponder, for example, before one can
reach the conclusion that poster
reading, icy hot bottles, warm as
the love of God" indicates that Their
mos bottles are for sale in the little
Korean shop, Ones curiosity is
greatly piqued by the announcement,
above a rickety flight of steps in
Toxic, that ladies may have fits
up our back stairs" 1t is quite dis
appointing to find that the myster
ious establishment is merely la
dies tailor shop! Were it not for the

familiar red and white stripes with
which certain Japanese barber has
decorated his door trims, one would
scarcely realize that the staring
word "Babil" is intended to lure one
in for shave.
Sometimes the signs are painstak-
ingly in detail, as in the case of Zee
Pao Sung, a Japanese who proclaims
himself an expert in "hairdressing,
shampooing, corns, feet and nails
cutting" Equally detailed, but some
what confusing is the sign of that
all-round man of Malaysia, Chalk
Yam Pc. which reads: Dentist Fill
ing Artificial Eyes and Commission
Agent"
Sometimes to the American tour
ist the signs speak clearly of home.
American Dental Parlor," even
though painted above the door of a
curious little house in Okayama, ia
pan, has a decidedly home Like
sound, while no one could possibly
mistake the enormous advertisement
of Christmas cards and calendars
proudly displayed above a little
stall on the Motomachi in Kobe.
Long, narrow strips of paper cover
ed with the quaint brush strokes of
the Japanese sign painter flutter in
the wind, while above them a sub
stantial sign board announces in
bold, straightforward English let
tiers: Books, Magazines and News
papers"
1t would seem, judging from a
snapshot taken in street in Nan
king, China, that the American or
English father will want to get beer
for himself at the same time that he
buys milk for the baby. The two
signs, "Pao Yaen Milk Depot" and
"Ashal Beer" both appear in one
small building. :
But there are some things in the
Orient which speak plainly to the
American mind, English or no En-
glish. Who would fail to recognize
that long row of thrilling pictures,
Japanese though they be in concep-
ton and execution, for moving pic
ture posters? And even if it were
not for the pictures, the groups of
wistful children around the closed
ticket window peering into the
gloom of the doorway, would surely
remind any real American of similar
groups at home. These Japanese
movie posters, while as melodramat-
ic in conception as our own, are
much less crude in execution, some
of them being very artistic in their
color scheme.
Not to be overlooked among the
American agencies which have

HE ACCOMPLISHED
RESULTS.

H11 HEN President Wilson
~ left for Europe on his
last trip he declared he
would not return until all was
over "over there" He has
kept his word. A peace treaty
has been made and signed by
the chief allied nations and by
Germany. The treaty imposes
drastic penalties upon the foe
but those penalties are not too
severe when the horrors
wrought by Germany are con-
sidered.
But the great accomplish
ment of the peace conference
consists in the League of Ma
tions covenant whereby the
civilized world enters into a
compact looking to the preven-
ton of future wars. This is the
forward loking part of the
treaty, the feature that offers
hope for the future. 1t keeps
faith with the mothers who sent
their sons heroically to war in
the belief that good would
come from the struggle. 1t full
fills an implied contract with
our soldiers and with our dead
who fought in a war to end
warfare and to set up rule of
justice and fair play.
The league plan is sound
and practicable. Directors are
finding their arguments melt
ing away like snow drifts in the
sun. Their last contention that
the treaty, in section 10, goes
beyond powers granted by the
constitution, is shown to be
lame because that section calls
for doing nothing we are not
obliged to do now for the re-
public of Panama and nothing
we have not always been obli-
gated to do for the western
hemisphere under the terms of
the Monroe doctrine. We are
specifically pledged to defend
Panama against external ag-
gression and we have always
been pledged under the Mon
roe doctrine to defend South
America and Central America
against such aggression. If we
could do those things without
overriding our constitution we
can enter the League of Nations
without violating the constitu-
ton.
More than any other man
President Wilson is responsible
for the League of Nations. He
brought conflicting elements
together and obtained concrete
results. Had he not devoted
his great intelligence, his patti
ence and his political skill to
the task it is doubtful if it could
have been accomplished. Had
we sent a lesser man than our
war president to Paris he would
have been overridden by the
big men of Europe and we
would have secured an old
world peace. not peace in ac-
cord with new world ideas and

UNDERTAKING

m) conserve the water that
W. runs to waste and use it on
land that lacks sufficient
rainfall to insure good crops.
That is the purpose of the re-
clamationist and it is a wonder
full aim.
In the Teel project, which
was the dream of O. d. Teel
and friends and is now in the
way of construction, streams
that run southwark will be
made to flow to the north. Wa
ter that goes into the John Day
river, thence to the Columbia
and the ocean will be brought
to the thirsty acres southwest
of Echo and 10000 acres of
land of little value at present
will be converted into alfalfa
pastures. /
Irrigation is hard work. It |
involves disappointment for the
over enthusiastic, often there |
are mistakes or mismanage-
nent. But in the end the land
IS reclaimed and happy homes
arise where there were no
homes before.
The Teel project is not an ac-
complishment yet. The hard
" work is just begun. But it
must be admitted that the men
behind the move are men of
vision and perseverance. Let
it be hoped they will exercise
these qualities as successfullv-
in finishing the job as they
have in getting it underway.
