Application of William Randolph
Hearst Of New York for an injunc-
ton to restrain the shipping board
from selling the ships, was taken un-
der advisement today by Associate
Justice Bailey of the district Supreme
court. He announced he would rem
der a decision in a day or so.
President Wilson will inform the
Senate emphatically that there is "no
basis" for the report of a secret
agreement between the shipping
board and British interests for the
sale of the so former German pas
senger liners, it was announced today
at the White House. The Presi-
dents message will be in reply to the
resolution of Senator Brandagee, Re-
publican, of Connecticut, asking for
information regarding the report.
The resolution was adopted by the
Senate last Saturday.
Just before the White House an
nouncement was made the public auc-
ton at which bids for the ships were
received began at the shipping board
with representatives of more than a
score of shipping interests present.
Chairman Payne was unable TO
conduct the auction as he had been
summoned to appear in person III
the District Supreme court IN pro-
ccedings brought by Mr.. Hearst.
Commissioner Thomas A. Scott act
ed for him. In opening the auction
Mr.. Scott mead a memorandum which
said the highest bid would have to pc
approved by the Senate Commerce
Committee and the House Merchant
Marine Committee and that accept
ance of ary bids would depend upon
the outcome of the injunction pro-
ceedings in the district court. In any
event checks would be returned by
Saturday if the sales were not con-
summated. He said all ships must be
operated under the American flag.
P. A. S. Franklin, president of the
International Mercantile Marine Of
fered a conditional bid of $14,05O,000
for nine vessels for service to the
United Kingdom and northern Euro
pean ports. The offer was condition
al upon an agreement by the shipping
board not to enter competition IN TINS
service.

SENATE HOLDS UR SALE OF 80 GERMAN LINERS
Printers I
No. 8 Y

There are many kinds of ada
tising, but not all of them pS
Merchants think they can draw
trade by degacing country roads~
and city vacant lots with their bill
boards. They distribute circulars
wholesale, meanwhile more or
less neglecting the opportunity
the newspaper gives.
Newspaper advertising is read
because people have paid good
money TO rthe newspaper, and
they feel interested to get all 1t
contains. They sit down to read
it with preconception that it is
going to have interesting things
in it, and among the most attrac-
tive of these things is always
the advertiseing.
Other kinds of advertising
don't start with this preconcep-
ton. A man has paid nothing for
a circular, and didn't ask for it
nor want it. Consequently he
throws it away. Cicrular adver-
tisinp of course has its uses and
is sometimes desirable for supple
mentary use, but as compared
with newspaper publicity it is far
less efficient. Similarly people
dislike staring billboards, and
ones impression on seeing them
is a feeling of dislike. Nobody
is convinced by forcing advertis-
ing on them. People are inter-
ested by seeing advertising in
thing they have bought and paid
