Funeral Ship Arrives With Bodies Of
lIIfated Alrship Crew.

New York-Resting in fiag-shrouded
caskets, covered with masses Of
flowers and guarded by armed men of
a friendly, foreign nation, the bodies
of Commander Louis H. Maxfield and
fourteen of his comrades-victims of
the ZR-2 disaster-arrived on the
British cruiser Dauntless.
Far. out at sea, the Dauntless was
met by a destroyer division Of the

port, the escort was augmented by a
fleet of seaplanes, representing the
arm of the service for which the vic
Tins gave their lives. - :.
As the funeral ship came up the
harbor, the forts Numbered salute,
church bells tolled on the Brooklyn

craft dipped their colors in reveren-
tial salutes.

THE PARK MATTER

Under the first referendum election,
held under the provisions OF the new
charter, the. ordinance providing Tor
the purchase of certain lots on Broad
way, west of the knights Of Columbus
building, was defeated most decisively y.
It is apparent at this time, at least,
. that the voters did not take into consld"
Grafton only the direct matter that was
to be voted upon, but took survey Of
the whole project as proposed, and con-
sidered it too heavy to add to the bur-
den Of taxes, especially under existing
economic conditions.
However, it is quite apparent, as stat
ed in these columns previously, that
there is really very little division as
to the desire for Memorial park,
and it has been generally stated by
those opposed to the project, in it's en-
tirety, that they favored that portion
of the proposal west Of the postotfice
on Broadway.
If the full proposal had won, it would
have been expected by the victors, that
the losers, and of light, would ac-
quiese in the decision, and give it the
support they were reasonably capable
of giving. The vote cannot be rightly
analysed, as against no park at all. 1t
is more difference in opinion as to its
size.
If it is a fact that the great majority
of our people do desire Memorial park,
and we believe they do, is it not a fine
opportunity to dispell much Of the dis
cord, misunderstanding and i'll feeling
unnecessarily created in the campaign
just closed and get together on some
thing so many people are agreed upon
and therefore create more harmonious
feeling than exists at the present time?
If put through although not on as large
scale as the supporters of the pro-
posed project wished, they will have
achieved their main desire-a memorial
to the soldiers. After all, it is not the
size Of gift or memorial, within GER
tain limits, that measures your .appre-
citation, but the sincerity in which it is
given.
We believe the officials of the Mem
orial association and others who sup
ported the full park project acted unset
fshly in the matter with laudable aims
in view, which is the reason we feel
that they will give the matter the con-
sideration we believe is it's due. The
Herald also has no reason to think but
that those who supported an opposite
view, which they also believe was for
the best interests of the city, will
not cooperate.
Think it over-both sides.
. Let's love one another. -,

Lloyd George Firm Against Meeting

TELEGRAM, Gives Slim Feiners
Chance to Alter Stand.

London - Premier Lloyd George
added another to the brisk fire Of tele.
grams between Dublin and Gairlcch,
which leaves Eamonn De Valera's
search for formula enabling him to
accept the invitation to a/conference
still unsatisfied.
In his message to the Irish republi-
can leader, the British prime minister
remains firm in refusing to meet the
Irish delegates as representing an in
dependent and sovereign state and de-
clares that unless that section of Mr..
De Valera's recent letter insisting
upon the delegates acting as represen-
tatives of an independent Ireland, was
withdrawn, conference between the
members of the cabinet and the Sim
Fein plenipotentiaries would be i'm
possible.
Opening Is Indicated.
Notwithstanding the firm tone of
Mr.. Lloyd Georges telegram, it is in
terpreted as displaying solicitude to
furnish Mr.. De Valera a favorable
opening for abandoning his present at
titude.
The text of the telegram follows:
II have received your telegram and
observe it does not modify the claim
that your delegates should meet us as
representatives of sovereign and in
dependent state.
"You made no such condition in ad-
vance when you came to see me in
July. I invited you then to meet me,
in the words of my letter, as the
chosen leader of the great majority in
southern Ireland, and you accepted the
invitation.
Allegiance to Throne.
From the very outset of our con-
versatlon told you that we looked to
Ireland to. own allegiance to the
throne, and to make her future as
member of the British commonwealth.
That was the basis of our proposals,
and we cannot alter it.
1.-THE status you now claim in ad-
vance for your delegates is in effect
reputation of that basis. l am pre-
pared to meet your delegates, as met
you in July, in the capacity Of the
chosen spokesman for your people to
discuss the association of Ireland with
the British commonwealth.
my colleagues and I cannot meet
them as representatives of sovereign
and independent state without dis
loyalty on our part to the throne and
the empire. must therefore repeat
that unless tn second paragraph of
the letter Of the twelfth is Withdrawn
a conference between us is impos-
sible."

the President chairman of the con-
ference, which, it was said, will at.
once dissolve itself into special COM
mittees for the formulation of definite
plans for submission to the conferences
as a whole. These committees, Mr..
Hoover asserted, no doubt would seek
cooperation from other representa-
tives of labor, civic bodies and en-
ployers| in the formulation Of their
views.
"In naming the members of the,
conference" Mr. Hoover said, lit has
been the desire of the President to
obtain geographic representation and
at the same time have regards to the
different elements of the community
who are interested and can be help
full in the problem without any at
tempt at proportional numbers or par
ticular groups.
Advisory Committee Named. =.
Those of experience in those in
dustries where there is the largest de-
gree of unemployment have been
called on in larger proportion than
from trades where there is less un-T
ployment difficulty. 1t was impossible
to include representation o. the whole
of some fifty trade groups in the con-,
ference and hold it's size within work
able limits"
An economic advisory committee Of
twenty was appointed in advance Of
the conference, and, Mr.. Hoover said,
has been preparing unemployment
data and a working program for the
conference
The conference, Mr.. Hoover con-
tinued, is expected to get to work
quickly so the administration may be-
in position to combat unemployment
before winter .

Is ADVERTISING A DEBIT?

Northfel Id News:-In the ordinary
business enterprise when cataloging
the various items of expense-salaries,
rent, heat, light, over head, etc., a col
umn is usually taken up by an item
Of expense called advertising. Along
with other "debits,'' advertising is
tingent upon operating the business.
That this classification is unjust is
clear to everyone who is familiar with
the general trend and scope Of adver-
Using the country over. The biggest
and most successful concerns do not
consider advertising debit, but they
do realize that it is an asset, all invest.
ment, and decidedly profitable one at
that.
Fred P. Mann, prominent general
merchant Of Devils Lake, N. d. in 1919
did business in excess Of half million
dollars in small town department
store. During this time, he spent be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 for advertis-
ing alone. Yet he said quite truthful
ly that it did not cost him cent. He
refused to consider this expenditure
of oyer $4,000 debit at all, because
He IcdllLcu CudC WITHOUT Cue advertising
his volume of business would have been
perhaps only half as large and his pro-
fits, therefore, proportionally smaller.
At the same time he would have had
the, same constant expense for rent,
heat, light, etc. By. advertising, he
made his standard expense do duty for
double business, the profit from which
more than cared for the advertising,
leaving net profit or asset to : be
charged to advertising itself.
Is advertising a debit9 If an EN-
ployer pays $4,000 a week to get an
efficient, first class employee, who: does
double the work Of a $500 a week
man, the extra. $500 a week is clearly
not loss-but a gain. If by advef-
Using, the merchant does a larger
voluma of business it is equally clear
that advertising itself should not be
charged as an expense. Nothing is a
debit which in the long run results in
profit. Nothing is debit which in
screases the volume of business while
the overhead expense is constant. Ad-
vertising should, therefore, be- given
its: Eightful place on the credit side of
the ledger. The really progressive mer-
chants keep it there.
