Yet, it is merely in its infancy. Because of its youth | there are many outside the realm of business who believe that advertising 1s an economic waste, that it is a burden on the ‘shoulders of the great purchasing’ public. On acéount of this, it is difficult to make the average man believe that advertising 1s not di- rectly responsible for the high cost of certain articles. A little time and thought will prove such contentions to be -diametrically opposed to the "It advertising does anything, it per- mits goods to be sold at cheaper prices than similar goods not adver- tised. The first duty of advertising is to call public {t_zentlon to any given article. By this it is hoped to create demand. With increased demand must naturally come an increase in supply. The Sreater the output of any manufactured article the less it costs to make. The less it costs its maker, the leds he must get in return for it. Thus is the public benefitted and not detrimented. Advertising ‘walks hand in hand with the first law of economics. Supply and Demand are its handmaidens. If the advertising proves futile, it is the manufacturer ‘who nfust suffer the loss. If the ad- vertising is successful the general public reaps the benefit. The high cost of living itself is the medium through which the value of advertising may be traced. While the average foodstuffs have gone up in price the prices-on nationally adves- tised goods' have generally remained at the standard fixed before present day conditions. This is not true in all cases; but it is true in large degree. It is not s0 at all in the case of those articles not advertised. While the ad- vertising rates of magazines and news- papers have been materially raised the prices of advertiged goods have re- mained practically stationary. This 1s equally true of luxuries and necessaries of life. No better example can be found than in the automobile fleld. Few automobile manufacturers have raised the prices of their goods. "This despite the fact that prices of raw material have advanced side by . side with advertising rates. The successfully advertised car, because of the demand created, can be sold at a price infinitely cheap- er than its unknown rival. This be- -cause the more known the more made. It is the same in other fidlds. Adver- tising, & paying investment for the man who has something to sell, like- ‘wise creates a means of saving for the man who must purchase. THE CALL OF THE WEST. In the Western States alone there are 240,000,000 acres of public land that can be had for the asking. This announcement, made by the Secretary of the Interior yesterday, and printed in the Herald, will be a cause of sur- prise to many. Living in an inten- sively cuitivated part of the country the people of New England are prone to forget the vast lands of the West, land that sometimes stretches mile after mile without the companionship of man. It basks in the sunshine awaiting the homesteader who never goes near it. Almost two million people can ac- quire this land on easy terms from the government if they but write to Secretary Lane at Washington. There are 160 acres of good grazing and farming land awaiting each person whe asks for the privilege of culti- vating this soil. Now that the day has drawn near when America sees the necessity of closely guarding its food supply the chances for a suc- cessful invasion of the West by an army of ambitious farmers are not to be lightly cast aside. There was a time when immigrants to this country made for the West.

With the growth of industry during the past ~thirty years the immigrant has been held in the East, to work in the factories. The West has been neglected. The vast resources there have remained untouched. The iand awaits the thrifty and the enterprising. .It la the call for those who would establish ‘themselves firmly in the heart of the country. May wheat, which sold on the Chicago Board of Trade yesterday at $2.37 a bushel, may be the cause of the first price-fixing by the govern- ment.

To the Editor of the Herald: Is a trolley car passenger liable for a fare, or fares, accidentally rung up in an attempt to leave at a desired stop, provided the conductor isIn the front vestibule discussing the war, or other topics, with the motorman and in a position where his attentlon can not be secured? Is it proper to wait for the discussion to cease and be car- ried several stations past the home stop or to take a chance at being to select. between the bell cord and the|| strap that connects with the fare reg-' ister? ‘For gome time past, commuters liv- ing In outlying territory between New Britain and Plainville have had the above question put to them almost dally because of the practice of con- ductors in riding a part of the way on the front platform in active dis- cussion with their motorman. There have been numerous arguments when fares have been rung up by pas- sengers,, who really object to being carried past their destination and are willing to take their chances with bell and -register straps. This conditon is particularly notice- able after cars pasgs Sharp's west- bound and White’s crossing east- bound. Between these two stops is a favorite plece of road for discussion of war news etc., by car crews. There is, at least, one important stop. be- tween these two stations, Westwood park. ~ Passengers desiring to alight there frequently run the risk of be- ing carried past their destination or of getting into an argument with ‘“‘connie” when a fare is accidentally rung up in the attempt to signal the motorman by means of the bell cord. COMMUTER FATE OF GERMANY. With George B. Chandler Takes Issue; Unknown Critic. 3 To the Editor of the Herald: I have a very courteous and thoughtful note from an unknown person in your city signed “Miss Peacemaker.” I cannot answer this lady personally because I don't know who she is or where she lives. ~ She takes issue with my statement in an address in New Britain last Monday night to the effect that, al- though Germany would lose this war, she would be the surviving race in the end, because she has learned the great lesson of “Internal efficienc; “Miss Peacemaker” is of the opinion that this internal efficiency of Germany is her own destruction. I think the lady is mistaken. Germany is not going to bo destroyed. Nobody wants to de- stroy her. She is going to experience disaster, but the disaster will be caused not by the internal efficiency of her people but by the criminal manner in which it has been used by her rulers. . . As well might one invelgh against educated lawyers because an educated ahd unscrupulous lawyer . has more power for evil. Germany will rise from the ashes of this conflict and re- cuperate. I sald in my address that, if the megalomania of the IHohenzollerns and Prussian oligarchy had not pre- cipitated this war, Germany would have conquered the world in a genera- tion through her women and her workers. Her women have fine, large, healthy families Her workers are efficient. The surviving nations are those which possess these assets. One of the chief factors in Ger- many’s Industrial success has heen her system of military training. The experience which her young men have reseived in camp have made them strong and vigorous.

New York, April 17.—Sarah Bern- hardt is in Mount Sinai hospital crit- ically {]l from an infection of the kid- ney. It was said at the hospital late last night that while her condition had improved slightly since she was brought there Sunday it was still crit- ical. Her private physician, Dr. Felix Marot, who accompanied her here from’ France, last evening called into consultation Dr. George E. Brewer, professor, of surgery at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. It was sald after the consultation that no de- cision as to an operation had been reached. Famous Mme. Bernhardt has been in falling | health ever since she caught a severe cold in Lynn, Mass., early last month. She returned to New York on March 12 for treatment and rest, and ever since then except for a brief sojourn in the South, where she went In the hope of being benefitted by the change, she has been confined to her apartments at the Savoy Hotel.

New Haven, April 17.—No state- ment could be secured officially last night regarding the renewed reports of the possible leaving of the New Haven road by President Elliott, be- cause of his appointment as one of the committee of five to handle the raflroad problems for the government during the war.

The threatened strikes because of a reduc- tion in the weekly bread ration ma- terialized in only a portion of the larger factories and did not affect transportation and public utilities. The strike leaders had planned an elaborate system of street demonstra- tion which were to unite in an as- semblage, but inclement weather kept down enthusiasm. Some of the factories affected an- nounced tonight that the workmen would resume work tomorrow. Other meetings will be held in the morning to decide the future course of the strikers. The streets are quiet tonight, but the police are still on guard. The government authorities declare that they’ll make no effort to interfere with the strikers, because they are: only registering disapproval of the new food regulations and are expected to resume work everywhere before the end of the week. The strikers are limited to factories manned by unions belonging to the Liebknecht-Ledebor branch of the so- cial democracy. The Scheidemann 8roup is not striking. The Vorwaerts, the organ of the Scheidemann social- ists, printed a warning against strik- ing for fear that the latter would in- terfere with efforts to obtain a separ- ate peace with Russia. There were no strikes in factories iernployinc the so-called Christian un- ons. May Be Peace Demonstration. Copenhagen, April 16, via London, April 17, 8:04 a. m.—The strike called today in Berlin of metal and wood- workers and transportation employes is the first considerable labor trouble in the German capital since the muni- tion workers struck when Dr. Harl Liebknect was convicted of treason. At that time almost 100,000 men were idle for three days. The cause of the present strike is the reduction in the bread ration, the newspapers for several days past hinting at the possibility of such a demonstration. If, however, like the previous strike, the present - walkout has been organized by the radical so- cialists there is no doubt that it has the nature of a peace demonstration. The minority soclalist organization, to which the great bulk of munition and other socialist workers in Berlin belong, attempted to organize work- men’s processions from the factory quarters in the outskirts of the city to the center of the capital. A semi-official despatch, the only one which has as yet been allowed to reach Copenhagen, makes no mention of these processions. The despatch, obviously carefully edited and cen- sored, asserts that, despite partial suspension of work. by the three branches of industry mentioned, Work in the big munitions establishments has not been interfered with and -ele- vated and street car service is proceed- ing normally. The latter is probable in view of the high proportion of wo- men now employed on the elevated systems and street cars. Yesterday's Germag newspapers intimated that agitation among the workmen was in evidence elsewhere in the empire, particularly in Leipsic: No reports have so far been received in regard to this phase of the situa- tion. COLUMBIAN TREATY " CONSIDERED AGAIN Senate Expected to Act Favorably . With Amendment Added Washington, April 17.—Another ef- fort to have the senate ratify the treaty with Colombia for the payment of $25,000,000 for the secession of Panama is forecast through the treat‘y being taken up in executive session. On objection that senators interested in it were absent, the treaty was laid aside until tomorrow. Since the treaty was withdrawn from the speclal senate session' March, the state department ! trying to get around the objec republicans so as to assure ratifica- tion. The treaty itself, it was said, | has not been changed, but in addition to it the department now proposes a contract by which Colombia will see that no nation other than the United States obtains concessions or rights on her territory near the Panama cang When the treaty was withdrawn in March Senator Curtis, the republican whip, had a poll showing that thirty- five senators, two more than the third which would insure its defeat, were pledged against it. The fact that the treaty will be taken up again was said last night to indicate that the ad- miniétration now feels confident of success. It is understood that amend- ments to meet republican objections probably will be offered in executive session. These prohably will include pro- vistons for control of the Atrato river canal route in Colombia hy the United States, conc on to the United States of several swall islands not far from the Atlantic side of the Panama canal and an express understanding that when the United States is at war Colombia will not join forces with the enemy. . U.S. STETO PAY ENORMOUS WAR TAX Chairman Gary Tells Stockholders Assessment Will Be Between $60,000,000 and $65,000,000. New York, April 17.—FElbert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel Corparation, told shareholders of that organization at their annual meeting in Hoboken yesterday that the corporation will pay from $60,- 000,000 to $65,000,000 to the federal Zovernment in the next vear if the proposed war tax laws are put into effect. Payment of $85,000,000 would be $43,000,000 more than was paid last year in government taxes. Mr. Gary said this increase would be due principally to the new excess profit tax, which means a tax on all profits of more than eight per cent. “That other taxation laws besides those already enacted will be passed no one at the present time can doubt,” said Mr. Gary, “and the burdens which will be imposed by the govern- ment upon corporations and upon in- dividuals no doubt will be very large. I.am sure that na loyal citizen can object provided there is a fair and equitable distribution of the burdens. Not knowing what these laws will be or how much the burden may be in- creased, of course ‘it is impossible to state What will be the net result. If the disposition of the lawmakers shall be to obtain as much money as can possibly be expended for all the pur- poses which have been suggested, then it seems evident that all the profits or earnings 6f all the corpora- tions and all the individuals may be taken away from those who possess them. I do not believe that is going to be the attitude of the lawmakers, however. “If the disposition will be only to obtain such moneys as are, absolutely needed for government purposes, and distribution of the burden is fair and equitable, it seems at the present time as though the earnings of the Steel Corporation would be very large RUNS AWAY WITH RESTAURANT WARE Patron Helps Himsell at Longley's Dining Rooms Pursued by a white-coated and in- dignant manager, Willlam Scott of 125 Columbia street, hastily absented himself from Longley's Church street Testaurant last night with pockets bulging with glassware of various de- scriptions, salt cellars, sugar con- tainer and other eating house equip- ment. While passersby gazed in won- derment and wagered relative to the victor, the chase continued to Cen- tral ,Park, where Policemen Willlam F. Murphy and Thomas Hgslin took a hand. Wilbert Coons of 8 Corbin Place was -alleged to have taken a hand in proceedings at that time and was arrested for assauit. At a loss to account for the atray of “evidence,” Scott was arraigned be- fore Judge James T. Meskill in police court today charged with intoxlcation and theft. He pleaded guilty and was reluctant to testify in defense af his conduct. Other than that the use of liquor must be responsible, he could not account for taking the glassware because, as he explained, he had no use for it. Judge Meskill called him to the wifhess stand, severely repri- manded him and gave him good ad- | vice relative to future proceedure. A fine of $5 and costs with probation was imposed on the intoxication charge while the theft charge was dis- missed. The charge against Coons was nolled by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Joseph G. Woods witQout arraignment, Left Auto Near Hydrant. Samuel Schneider of 220 Hartford avenue was fined $8 without costs for violation of the motor vehicle statutes and the city ordinance relative to parking an automobilé in front éf a fire hydrant. - Traffic Supervisor Clarence Lamphere testified that Schneider left his automobile so as to block a hydrant for a considerable time and that, when interviewed, hdd no operator's license with him. At- torney A. A. Greenberg pleaded for leniency, told of the gooad reputation of his client and said that there was no intentional violation. He explained that his client has an operator’s li- cense and, in hurriedly changing his clothes yesterday, accidentally left it at home, $25 for Reckless Driving. Peter Sackmovich of 52 Smalley street was fined $25 and costs for reckless driving. The arrest was made at Church and Main streets yes- terday afternoon by Traffic Policeman Alfred E. Atwater. Testimony was given that a team driven by the ac- cused collided with another team near thd corner of Main and West Main streets, did not stop to note the amount of damage and failed to heed Policeman Atwater's signal to stop. The latter testified that the accused had been drinking. AUTO STRIKES GIRL. ‘While driving his automobile north on Arch street late yesterday after- noon, Eugene Leach of 1,484 Stanley street struck an unidentified girl, who stepped from the curb in front of the machine and received a glancing blow. Dr. T. W. Fox hap- pened to be passing and took the vic- tim to New Britain General hospital for examination. Her injuries were found to be of a minor and superficial nature. Leach made a report of the accident at, police headquarters. e MOBILE HOSPITAL “UNT FOR YALE College Approves Recommends- ° tion for National Defense New Haven, April 17.—At the April meeting of the Yale corporation yes- terday the recommendations of .the Medical School committee of the “Council of National Defense were ra ifled and the university took steps ta provide the first university mobile mil- itary hospital unit ever established in this country. This is the plan adopt. ed in Italy by which the military hos- pitals carry with them the clinica] faculty and students as medical per- * sonnel. This type of organization meets two ends—practical help can be rendered to the army or to the navy in time of war and instruction may be continued at the base. This permity the graduation of men directly intq the junior grades of the army after the most practical form of military in- struction. Professor Flint, the head of the de- partment of surgery, who has had long - military hospital experience in the Philippines, in the Balkan wars, and more recently in France, is . a member of the medical school com- mittee of the Council of National De- fense and the plan which is to be adopted at Yale is in conformity with. his recommendations. The corporation has authorized the ex- penditure of the’ necessary sums in- volved in inaugurating this - project whose ultimate expense is estimated to be about $150,000. It is expected that a few patriotic graduates and friends of the university gill make it possible for the university to finance this project which will enable the medical school to render large public service and at the same time retain its organization and student body throughout the war. ‘ | The hospital apparatus 'is carried lon trucks, and when ready to stop | but a short time is required to trans- i form a dozen motor trucks into ‘a { complete hospital. Even hot water and radiators are installed in the operating room, ice machines furnish ice and electric lights dispel darkmess. The outfit can take care of a large | number of patients and can . quickly be packed yp and ‘moved after the troops. | The corporation formally passed lremluuons committing itself to the full time plan in the medical school as soon as the necessary endowment 'is available. A te Scrvices of Army. The i{§i§wing votes indicating the universi appreciation of the ser- vices of the war department’s officers on detail here were passed, . ‘““Voted, to direct the secretary to inform the adjutant general's office of the United States army of the very high regard .in' which Captains Rob- tajled by the war department, are held by the authorities of Yale uni- versity because’of their character,. their ‘remarkable, ability as teachers, and their proven capacity for intelli- gent leadership. ‘“Voted, that in submitting the above! vote to the adjutant general's | office the university authorities call = attention to the special facilities pro- vided by Yale university for the = training of artillery officers in the fundamentals cof their ' profession through the completion of the artil- lery armory, the crection of artillery hall, and the cxistence hsre during the past year and a half of the artil- lery batteries, and express the hopa that it may seem consistent with the other requirements of the government to \allow Captains Danford and -Potter to retain stheir work of instruction here, ‘and, owing to the pressure of their duties, to detail other officers, such as members of the class recently graduated at West Point, to assist' them if this seems possible.” Voted, that the university will wels come the return of its graduates to New Haven for reunions at Com.,’ mencement in June, believing that such meetings, conducted with fitting | simplicity and dignity, will be of real , benefit to the university and to the country at the present time, 4 Voted, to recommend to class com- ~ mittees that the serving of intoxica- ting liquors at reunion headquarters this June be dispensed with. £ CZAR UNDER RESTRAINT.
