"~ OF HORROR STORIES -y egd § Forgusoh. ‘(United: Press corrgspondent.) argh i (By Mail.) — e, Am 3 the: thrills of the old ‘“blood- .curdling” stories that have. been drifting around France for months —and some“of them for years—— through returning soldiers. - They are the product .of one of the great- est rupior factories the world ever saw—the allied armies. The stories of the “horrible” con- ditions at Brest, and of many men dying there, are probably treacable to this curious feature of army life. Most of the stories which were so gilbly spun to New York reporters probably originated on the boats en- ‘route to America. One man heard another tell someone of what some- one else had told him, and by the time the boat docked everypne on board was probably convinced that men were “dying like flies” at Brest. . The record of the Brest camp, as described by a United Press corre- spondent recently, after visiting’ Brest, disproved some of the stories. But “horror” stories will continue to reach America. The best off-hand explanation is probably found in the Jack of communication for indivi- %juals in the army. As an example, imagine what would happen in your town if there were no newspapers; if conditions of threatening death constantly pre- vailed; if there was a big fire, or an explosion every night; if you had no responsibility other than that of doing some particular. job assigned to you, while someone else saw that you were fed and had a place to sleep. There being no newspapers, the only way you would have of learning Wwhat happened at these fires and explosions would be through what someone told you. y reason of the conditions under CHICAGO MAN BUYS FAMOUS ISLAND IN WEST Los Angeles, Cal, Mar. 28.—Over of the biggest real estate deals ever put over In California is now an as- sured fact and details can tbe ‘fur- nished by the interested parties. Mr. William Wrigiey, Jr., manu- facturer of the famous ‘‘Wrigley’ Spearmint” one of the chief holders in the Chicago “Cubs” ball team and an ofticer and director in a total of fifteen enterprises in various parts of the U. 8., Is the head and controlling interest in a company which has taken over Santa Catalina island. “The purchase price is close to 34,000,000 and several millions more will be spent to make:the i8¢ iand the great show plac\e‘ot the Pacific Coast. t / Included in the transfer,are prac- tically all of the 48,000 acres of the island, the new-$490,000-Ste, Cath- erine Hotel' and §té appurtenances, ten, thousand head of sheep, two large steamers which ply ibetween San’ Pedro and the island, a fleet of glassbottom power boats and other property of the Santa Catalino Island company. 2 “TThis news i3 of interest to every nast. nresent and prospective visitor to California; in fact it is of particu- lar interest to the country at large, for It presages ou erg of expansion and develbpment in our home-resorts in keeping with the tendency to cul- tivate domestic tourist travel which the war has so strongly intensified. Mr. Wrigley, as the world's great- est chewing gum manufacturer, lma‘ been said to be.one of the largest contributors to men’s lasting enjoy- | ment among all who make for crea- ture comfort. His plans for the development of Santa Catalina Island for the tour- ists and pleasure seekers who flock to California’s sun-kissed shores will entitle Mr. Wrigley in double mea- sure to ail the credit he has thus far attained as the most extensive pur- veyor of America’s own famous con- fection—the - stick with the flavor that lasts, y “Just as we have looked to adver- tising to build up our business,” said Mr. Wrigley, “so shall we make known the fame of Catalina Island. The power of the press is one of the world’s greatest agents of advance- ment. Without advertising it might take twenty years to accomplish what advertising makes possible in one.” The way to treat bolshevism in this country wherever it bobs up is to treat it as we treated it in the . case of Debs.—Louisville Courier- Journal. .
