j lBoos1 IN THE SPRING

The business outlook is better than
sH appears on the surface. While
showing a. tendency to exaggerate
present dulness, busipess men are al
ready looking ahead to better times.
If advertising plans mean ANYTHING
and they are probably the best cri-.
terion there is-the industrial and
commercial revival is not far ahead.
Advertising men familiar with the
national field say si1at large adver-
t:sers are making unusual plans for
extensive publicity campaigns in the
spring This testimony is corroborafs
ed by statement from Richard
.SplIlane, business expert well
known for his writings in Commerce
and Finance He ellis of one large
monthly magazine which recently
had ss92, 900 OF net advertising in
hand for one of its spring issues, and I
expected to make it an even $1,000
900 before the forms closed. That is
said to be the greatest amount of adj
sertising ever printed in any publica-
ton Mr.. spillane's conclusion is,
advertise. p
IS undoubtedly good advice
shrewd business men are planning to4
advertise on big scale, because they {
believe prosperity is coming. 1T
enough business men believe that,
ana follow their example. there will
be no doubt about. it.

way OF an orderly, peaceable life
should go into the vacuum cleaner
and be disposed of as waste.
There are a lot Of houses that
need good old spring cleaning.
There is the pest house and the poor
house, so often run by the dishon-
est ara incompetent. The strong
light of publicity should be turned on
them, and every dark, unhealthy

ARMY SICKNESS.

There has been. some criticism OF
the medical department of the army
because of the nigh mortality from
disease. Unquestionably the sick
ness at the training camps has been
a cause of anxiety and alarm. 1t IS
well, however, to keep proper
perspective on the matter. O
Records show that in our Civil
War the disease death rate in the
Federal Army was 65 per 1000 In
the Spanish War it was 26 per 1000.
In the present war it has been re-
duced to. IT per 1000.
Furthermore, the big majority or
disease fatalities have resulted from
the influenza epidemic, for whose
rayages the medical corps, to say the
least. y cannot be held wholly respon-
sibIe. Despite the extreme handicap
caused by the close living quarters
Of the men in the camps, the IN
huenza mortality seems not to have
been much higher than among any
similar number of civilians IN any
snaitten community. with all the com
forts and convenfences Of home
treatment
The real surprise. for most people,
comes from a comparison Of battle
death rates in the same three wars
For the numbers engaged, this wal
was far more deadly to Americans
than either Of the others. In the
Spanish War only 5 men were killed
in battle out of every 1000. In the
Civil War, there We're 33 deaths pei
thousand; in the present war, 81 pei

A JUST FRENCH CLAIM.

France is said to be making one
territorial claim which conflicts with
the principle Of "self-determinatlo2
of peoples" and which nevertheless
the peace conference may allow. It
is the annexation Of the Saar valley,
along the northern boundary of Lor-
-aine and the eastern border of Lux
en1burg. where the population IS
mostly German.
The area involved is so small as 20
be almost negligible except for fact
that il contains a rich deposit Of coal.
It was the use of this ccal in con
sanction with the iron from the
neighboring Briey-Longwy basin
stolen from France-that gave Ger
MANY such excellent, facilities for
competing with French industry ana
manufacturing war materials to Use
against France It is natural enough
that the French should want it, be-
>NNS.S
cause of the similar industrial and
military advantages it would give
them.
France has better argument
however. than that Of mere desire
biiltv. 1t is we'll known how the
Germans seized. held during the war
and finally ruined as far as the,
could, the principal French coal de-
posts around Lens. Production II
the Lens fields cannot be resumed
for years, and many Of the mines
have been permanently destroyed
France will ask for the Saar basn
in compensation for Lens. And wha
