Sat. Evening Post
To Print 2,500,0OO
Copies, Says Curtis
Publisher Tells the Sphinx
Club Future of Advertise
ing Business Will Be
Greater Than Its Past

Cyrus H. K: Curtis, president of the
company publishing the Saturday
Evening Post" announced last night
that, in response to public demand, the
circulation of the magazine would be
increased to 100000 shortly Speak
ing as guest of honor at the dinner of
the Sphinx Club, at the Waldorf, Mr.
Curtis said the company's board of di-
rectors had decided to lift the ban, and
later would increase the number of
copies printed TO 2,500,0 900.
The veteran publisher told several
hundred advertising men who attended
the dinner the future of advertising
was greater than its past
To-day the public generally agrees
with you advertising men," he said.
ut considers advertising as important
as the railroad, telegraph and telephone
as a means of communication between
people. The value of advertising has
been disseminated widely in the last
few years, and advertising will keep on
increasing in amount.
The need is for good, original adver-
tising copy. Such copy would use up
less space and would produce better
results than most of the present ad
vertising.'
Mr.. Curtis had been asked to speak
on the topic Tanning Wild Authors"
When he found, however, that he was
seated at the guest table next to Irwin
S Cobb the publisher said he thought
it would be better to avoid that ques-
ton.
Mr. Cobb, the next speaker, said Mr..
Curtis. because of his policy of
laughing national mistakes to death,
had done more good to the country
than any man in public life. He
praised the stanch Amercanism of
the Curtis publications, and urged
public cooperation in driving Boil
shevism and I. w. W.ism out of the
country.
James Montgomery Flagg, the illus
traitor and playwright, and Louis
c. NJ. Reed, an authority on economic
and trade conditions throughout the
world, were other speakers.

Poison Gas Most
Humane Weapon Of
War, Says Army
Surgeon Generals Statistics
Show Wounded's Chance
of Recovery II Times as
Great if Only Gas Victim
New York Tribune
lTQshinOtOn Bureau

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-That gas
is one of the most humane weapons of
war is the conclusion reached by the
chemical warfare sery ice of the army
after a careful study of the causes and
results OF casualties in the A E. F.
This conclusion, so CONTRA. to the
popular belief. is based on official fig
surgeon general. From these figures il
is also deduced that gas is one of the
most powerful weapons. for of the
total Of 274,21T battle casualties suf-
fered by the A. E. F., 74,779, or 273
per cent were due to Las.
No cloud gas attacks and only a COM
paratively small mum Der Of rojector
attacks were sustained by the A. Z. F..
hence the chemical warfare service con-
cludes that POS is liberal estimate OF
the number of deaths from gas on the
battlefield. The number of deaths in
the hospitals from gas was l ,194, max
ing total of l,400 deaths out Of the
a.. 19 gas casualties, or 1.87 per cent
The total number o. deaths from all
battle causes is given as 48,O59 Sub
tracing the 400 deaths attributed to
gas gives 1853 deaths from all other
battle causes. Deducting the 74.779
gas cases from the 274,2l7 total battle
casualties, leaves 199.43S for battle
casualties due to causes other than gas
or 23.4 per cent.
The statement is made that man
gassed has twelve times as much
chance to recover as the M put out
o. action by other causes

Unfair Play Aided
In Her Defeat, Says
Marion Dickerman
Overcharged for Halls,
Printers Refused Business,
Banks Called Loans of
Supporters, She Declares

"How I almost defeated Speaker
Sweet" by Miss Marion Dicker rman. was
the chief number on the program of
dinner given by the Women's Joint
Legislative Committee at the Cafe des
Artistes last night.
After hearing Miss Dickerman's story
the women pledged themselves to carry
on the fight for the welfare bills in
the Legislature this year. James
Lynch, of the State Industrial Commits
Sweet had not been defeated the cam
paign of Miss Dickerman foretold vic
tory for the bills.
NO candidate will aga n care to go
through what Speaker Sweet has been
through, especially next year. with a
Presidential and Senatorial election to
complicate things" he said.
Miss DicNerman was nominated on
the Democratic and Prohibition tickets
to run against Speaker Sweet for the
Assembly.
She soon found, however, that the
churches, the Red Cross and other
patriotic organizations, the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union and vari
Gus other people upon whom she had
counted for aid were opposed to her
candidacy.
Both the Democratic and the Re-
publican machines worked against
me- she said. in Fulton they paid
the printers s45 a day to take their
printing and refuse mine. They hired
the opera house for 5000, but it cost
me $500 l hired hall one night and
was not given the key until o'clock.
Then l found there was no platform
and no light The women who were
working for me took six kitchen tables
and stood them together for platform.
One of the husbands was an electri-
clan and he fixed up few lights, so We
had our meeting.
Men who were our friends received
warning that time would not be al
lowed on their notes at the bank;
others were told there would be no
water for their mills. That sort of
fighting was the idea our opponents
had of fair play.
"Neverthe heless. I received twice as
many votes as anv candidate who ever
ran against Sneaker Sweet. He got
1000 votes and ! got not quite 10000
But he never worked so hard before
and his election never cost him so
much"
