•ttlmous today, that the pope
was either consciously or uncon-
sciously derma n-inspired in
frairt'ir his appeal.
1.man Terms Pr-cUe.
This in evidenced by the pre-
cision concerning all proposals
favorable to Germany, as com-
pared with the vagueness of
those which might work out,
favorably for the allies.
It Is pointed out that restore- j
ttoa of Serbia, Montenegro and I
Rumania are not mentioned, the |
fate of these countries being j
disposed of In the broad refer- ■■
eace to settlement of affairs In |
the Balkans. Reference to free- ;
dom of the seas is regarded as j
adoption of the German conten-
tion of this point.
The message ,as made public
by the foregoing office suggests
the following principal points as
conditions upon which an un-
derstanding can be reached,
guaranteeing a durable peace:
Substitution of moral force of
right, for the material force
of arms.
Reciprocal diminution of arm-
aments. leaving only sufficient
armament for maintenance of
order.
Compulsory Arbitration.
Substitution of arbitration for;
armies. Each state must accept j
International decision, according j
to established rules and be sub-
ject to punishment for refusing
to submit to arbitration or ac-
cept the decision.
True liberty and freedom of
the sea.
Restitution of all
territories.

Evacuation of Belgium, with
guarantee of her full political
and economic Independence.
As for the Irredenta territory.
It Is hoped that. In view of the
advantages of a durable peace
with disarmament the disputing
countries will be willing to ex-
amine each question in a con-
ciliatory spirit.
The question of the Balkans,
Poland and Armenia to be ex-
amined In the name spirit of
equity and Justice.
No C'enure for Kaiser.
England was frankly surprised
that the pope should place the
armtas of Germany and the
allies on an absolute
thore being no word of censure
no protest against the Belgian
horrors, no mention of expecting
from Germany some statement
that would gitfe the allies guar-
antees that such agreements as
His Holiness suggested might
not In the future be declared
“ecrape of paper” and thrown
aside.
"The whole world recognizes
that the honor of the armies of
both aides la safe,” the pope
asserts.
The honor of the army which
Invaded Belgium, which mas-
sacred women and children,
which shot Edith Cavell. which
deported helpless men and
women Into slavery, which ruth-
lessly devastated the rich fields
and orchards of Franco in Its
imeonh “strategic retreat," is
therefore put on a level with
the honor of the army of France
and England, fighting In de-
fense of homes, of national
honor and agalnat an autocracy
that threatened to engulf the
world. England refuses to re-
gard the honor of such armies
la the same light.
The pope's message was 2000
words long.
The spread of the conflagra-
tion was pointed out, the in-
creasing horrors and suffering,
after which the pope asked:
“Is this civilised world to be
nothing more then s field of
death? And Europe, so glor-
ioui and so flourishing. Is l. pr\irrAntn as a vv

with no better examples of what it could do than in the case of ‘John Jones.”
Rut. poor as it was. this early advertising paid a little: for advertising in the
newspapers must :te done in a poor way indeed not to pay SOME return to the
man over whose name it appears for any reasonable length of time.
And the little that it DID pay stirred up interest and prompted merchants to
STUDY the subject, and after a while advertising grew to be BETTER, anti as
time went on STILL better, until TODAY the advertisements of the big stores,
ami little stores and shops all over the country, are EASY to READ, and ARE
read and sought out for the elements of "news" and information that they contain,
and people take about as much interest in the advertising columns a< they do in
anything else that appears in the paper.
And this is as it ought to be—for advertising i« a legitimate newspaper feature,
which operates for the good of the community—and no community can GROW or
