SECRET

NEW YORK, Nov. 26 UNSo
The 17.year old bitter argument
as to whether the Cunard lineI
Lusitania carried munitions In
such quantities as to warrant her
sinking by the German U-2O
under command of Captain Com
n,ander Schwieger, eight miles
off the Irish coast on the after
noon of May Z. 1915, is due
shortly to be settled for al
time.
The Lake Railey expedition
which will soon set out with a

she carried that money to a ma

found, it will no more than cover
the cost of the expedition.
If the British government gives

Lake the required permission to
search the wreck, those hardy

They are going to see q safe

And among those records will

lasts longer, and in this way meets
present conditions by saving money
for motorists.
"Today's market is not an i'm
possible one in which to make
progress. In fact, in some respects
it is favorable one. The public is
more deeply interested in real value
than ever before. In quality
field, the burden of proof of real
value falls on the marketer. He
succeeds or fails according to his
ability TO prove this-and the abil-
ity of his products to fulfill claims
made.
ITO meet the necessity for PROV
ing real value, our advertising ap-
preparation for 1881 is nearly dou-
bic that of 1880. We're spending n
lot more money to tell motorists
about the values in which they are
so deeply interested these days, as
they apply to the goods we have
to sell. In the past Is months, we
have increased our selling organ
ization in the West by nearly 40
per cent. And we are training our
men a lot more carefully.
Showing off ahead of the pend
