TRUTH IN NERTISiNG,

In an inconspicuous corner of a New York newspaper yesterday ap- pcareu brief news item recording the incorporation of the National Bet ter Business Commission of the As sociated Advertising Clubs of the World. It's purpose, according to its charter, is "to advance the movement for promoting the truth in aovertis- ing, to amalgamate associations formed for promoting the truth in advertising, into unified body and to cooperate with duly authorized agencies in advancing the standards of business ethics and fair competi- ton and the enforcement of laws against fraudulent and unfair prac- tces."
 The comm ssion is an ,outgrowth of movement which has swept adver- Using circles throughout the country. It is not generally known that ad- Vertising men, through the power of organization, have been a mighty fac tor in driving dishonest advertisers out of printed mediums whose col umns had heretofore been open, Such Is the case, however, and the keynote of conventions for several years past has been Truth"
 Even within recent times dishonest advertisements have found their way before the public eye. Despite pre- cautions taken in modern news paper and magazine offices, misleading statements may be found in adver- tisements today. But they are be- coming fewer in number and the pub He Is beginning to realize that an as- sertion maoe in an advertisement r~rus merchant just as strongly as lN spoken pledge. This has resulted Tn increasing confidence on the part or the buying public in what the owner of store or a manufactures. announces he has for sale
 Much of this ethical uplift can be traced directly to advertising associa- lions. Through their local Better Business Bureaus which were estab- lished in number of large cities. merchants who exaggerated values or the quality of their wares have been persuaded to discontinue such prac- tices. Through efforts of Associated Advertising Clubs of the World. sup pression of fraudulent advertising has been carried on on 6 brosoer scale.

In fact several gentlemen who lived by their wits are now langufhing in federal peniteHtiarcs because their printed statements did not square with truth, as the Associated clubs understood the word. The claim was recently made that the Associated clubs have saved the public millions of dollars during the past year by oN- pnsiug professional promoters before lhn gentry had an opportunity to in- art their sinuous fingers in the wal let pockets ot the people,
 It does pay to advertise, to tell prospective customers about your pr ducls, But truth in advertising is the very foundation of permanent business or industrial progress, The Incorporation of the National Better Business Commission Is heartoning evidence that organized advertising men intend to prosecute their efforts to stamp out dishonest and misleading advertising. More power to their right arm,

s,,ATOH WATSON'S CHARGES

The avalanche of testimony being offered to substantiate or disproVe the charges by Senator Watson of Geor- pia that American soldiers in France were hanged without fair trial by court martial can be set down as typi- cally American. More eNcltabIe races are said to take sides violently on questions which veX the public but it is doubtful whether they can out rank your genuine American in this respect.
 Senator Watson seems to have be- come frenzied at fellow colleagues who desire, just as seriously as he does, to get at the truth of his charges. He holds in contempt any man who que tions the authenticity of his statements and denounces in terms unbocoming q person of his station members of the Senate who have failed to stampede to his side Of the fence.
 Senator Watson was once described by political opponent as the wild ass of politics. That he is running true to form may be fairly concluded after his caustic replies to statements made in the upper hou.c ye trrdaN Moderation of speech, which is be- coming in senator, is entirely ra K ir.,. a fact that wcakons T1pp.'l, Wl',i mi2ht otherwise be acc rdaC him
 Captain W. M Larner of Fort Thomas Kentucky, who. was camp quartermaster at GeVres, France where the wholesale executions of American soldiers is alleged to have taken place, makes a straightforward statement which has the ring of truth to it. The absence from his denial of any bitter feeling against Senator Watson's charge makes good i'm pression, His nearest approach to criticism is when he says that Sen ator Watson has been misled by per sons who have permitted their inag- ination and craving for publicity to overcome their better judgment and sincerity" Furthermore, he is con fident that other army officers who were stationed with him will bear out his contention that only one hanging occurred at Givrcs. the sol dier having been convicted of murder in the first degree.
 Despite Senator Watson's excitable temperament and his well known tendency to cXaGgerate, the American people would like to see the allega- tions sifted to the bottom. If unjust executions did take place under the cloak of military law, they want to know it and to see the guilty parties properly punished. There is one phase Of the situation, however, which would lead one to doubt the truth of the Georgian's story--it is improba- blc that the hangings could have re- mained secret so long.

WOULD ADJUST DEBTS
Britain Thinks German Preparation
 Terms should He Modified

London, Nov. 4.--Steps toward reaching an adjustment of war debts between allied nations are urged in resolutions sent to the chancellor of the eXchequer by the British National committee of the International Cham Der of Commerce The resolutions, whtcn were adopted unanimously by the committee advocated the de sirability of negotiations in order to obtain the benefits which, in the com mittee's opinion, would accrue if the war debts of the Allies to Great Bri- tain were reduced ot cancelled on terms to be agreed upon" The com mitteo comprises leading representa- tives of financial, commercial and in dustrial interests,

GRAIN FIRE LOSSES
HEAVY THIS YEAR

Olympia. wash.-Fire losses In the

are heavier this year than In many
seasons, Captain w. A. Gross, assist
ant state fire marshal stated on his
return from two months OF active fight
ing OF fires in the grain fields OF the
Walla Walla and Palouse districts.
The fires have been greater in num-
Der and have been harder to control.
due to the extremely dry and hot sea
son. with the resultant heavy foliage
on the grain. Two fires In the Walla
Walla district recently destroyed two
fields OF 700 and 1876 acres of grain.
respectively.
One OF these fires was directly
tracsable TO a lighted match or .
cigarette stub carelessly thrown from
q passing automobile.
Second to this menace was the &C.
emulation OF smut dust in threshing
machines. the smut being unusually
heavy. Explosions OF this dust caused
by sparks Of static electricity were
frequent and caused heavy LOSSES.

their former position. 1t emphasizes
that the British governments propos.

a free and willing partnership with
the nations of the British common
wealth, but that the conditions Lloyd
George seeks to impose would divide
Ireland into two artificial and mutu-
ally destructive states. II insists plen.

that proviso, and says that the Dali
