Big Advertising to Bring

Xewspaper advertising was described
as the chief cause of "an approaching
era of unprecclented business pros?
perity" by advertising experts who
spoke at the fifth annual luncheon of
the bureau of advertising of the
American Xewspaper Publishers' As?
sociation held yesterday at the Wal
dorf-Astoria.
Six hundred publishers and'cditors
of the most influcntial newspapers of
ihe country who attended applnuded
the assertion tha! merchants, manu
facturers and the government were
showing a new interest in the value of
advertising. Tho uncheon was given
in connection with fhe association'a
thirty-third annual eonvention,
The beneflta to the government in
advertising were pointed out by Gor
| rit Fort, assistant director of the di?
vision of traffic of lhe Knilroad Ad
ministration, Ho said the govern
ment's advertising campaign, in behalf
of the railroads, is "teaching Ameri?
cans to see America."
"I believe that if the. government nd

Praiscs l.'. S. ln War
America's part, in winning the war
i was extolled bv Captain Paul Perigord,
i a member of the Freneh Military Com?
mission and a vcteran of Verdun. Cap
lain Perigord, who was a priest be?
fore he became a soldier, wears three.
? wound stripes.
"At present there seema to be some
pessimism in America regarding the
, outcome of the league of nations pro
ject," said Captain Perigord. "There
should be no pessimism in America, for
America and pessimism are contra
dictory terms. How can you Ameri?
cans be pessimiata when you aucceeded
in feeding all tho world, in financing
your loans. and when your boys placed
their flag so high above all other flags
and thia ia not. flattery?-that it
makes the. heart thrill'.'
"How can you Americans be pes
simists when you put 2,000,000 men
across the sea in time to win the war?
We m France never miaunderatood the
spirit of America. France did not
make the mistake that Germany made.
The Germans said: 'Oh. tha Americans
will never come! They cannot fight!'
The Freneh knew better than that. The
Freneh knew the indomitable spirit of
your men upon the land and upon lhe

so much what you have done and that.

Nccessity for Increase
W. A, McXJermid, president of the
Associatio nof National Advertisors,
pointed out the nccessity for inereased
advertising because of growing com?
petition in manufactured products in
other countriea.
"America has always felt, thal she
led the world in production by machin?
ery," said Mr. McDermid. "Now we
are beginning to rcalize that France
and Great Britain are becoming awake
to the advantage of quantity produc?
tion. Thc supremacy of tho United
States in this regard must no longer
be taken for granted."
Business of thc executive session of
the sasociation was devotcd chiefly to
criticism of the Federal Trade Com
mis'sion's present I'.xed price of news
print, L. B. Palmer, manager of thc
association, explained that. resolutions
adopted by thc I'ittsburg Newspaper
Publiahera' Association, had been ap
proved by the members.
To Resume Hearlngs
.Mr. Palmer said that the present
price or* newsprint is based on the
cost of production during tlie. winter
months. The commission agreed to
hear evidence tending to show that the
prices should be lowered, but it has
no funds to bear tho cost of further
hearings, he said. Thc resolutions call
for action which will enable thu com?
mission to resume.
The association will give its annual
banquet to-night at the Waldorf-As?
toria. Tho business seasions will end

Scnsitivc About Burleson
"He '.aid tho Western Union
manager who rcjected tho niess
"was particularly scnsit ive because I lie
Postmaster General is tho titulnr head
of the system." Me dcnicd, on tho
other hand. that tho derogatory nature
of the messagc had anyth ing to c!
the rejection ?.r that "fear" of Mr,
Burleson prompted the nighl mnnngor's
action, and said that any other om
ployee of tho Western Union mltl
have actcd similarly if hia "boss" wi ?
assailed.
Mr. Carlton said:
"It was an error in judgment to have
made any commenl about. the message,
and the matter should have heen sent,
but to suggest that Mr. Burleson or any
other official of the Western Union
knew anything about it is beyond fact!
We have never had any orders or in
formation that wc should censor any?
thing being said about the Postmaster
General or the postal system.
"Our manager in the 'World' office
got this dispatch, which I think was
rather warm, and having in mind our
rule. which he know pcrfectly well, he
reached the conclusion that the mes
sage was libelous. I dare say he was
particularly sensitive because tho Post?
master General is tho titular head of
the system. Ile did whal any intclli
Kent. employe would have done in his
circumstances when hte boss was as?
sailed.
Mr. Carlton hastencd to amend
that "there nre no bossos in our sys?
tem now?there nre only superiors."
Mr. Carlton said he could not think
at the moment of other clicnts being
asked ! that ' hei r n< a jes be
"modified."
Censorship Is l.ifted
Mr. Carlton then eited an ordi r ? ??
ceived from the Postmaster General
yesterday afternoon foliowing the
puhlication of tho story of. tho rejec
< "u of the "World" message, provid
injr for ihe Buspension of tho rule
against acceptance of libolous mes
sagea where "messages referring to tbe
Postmaster General are concerned."
The rule, which was sent out under
the signature of 1 . N. Bethell, of the
Operating Boai-d in Washington, said;
"By direction of tho Postmaster Gen?
eral, you will suspend in ao far as
messages referring to tho Postmaster
General nre concerned, tho rules o\'
your company prohibiting the trans
niission of messages containing libel
ous matter."
At the office of the Bell Telephone
Company it was stated yestorday that
"any delay which may have occurrod
in the acoeptanco and trnsmission of
messges roflecting on the Poatmator
Geiierl waa cauaed by tho natural pro

prirtcipal newspaper engaged in this
intrigue, at the time the increase of

fore the Ways and Means Committee.

made by the Congress. The repeal of

Sinister Purpose Charged
It is believed by some of those
affected that this cannot be brought
about unless "Burleson is gotten rid
of." The principal lobbyist employed
by this selfish combination, which is
reputed to have raiscd many thousands
of dollars to bc used for accomplish
inj^ the repeal of this law. in circular
letters, after telling of thc number
of Democratic representatives com
mitted to the repeal of the law and
how it was hoped Republican members
could be used. urccd certain publishers
not 'I' confine their attack to tho zone

"ln fact, as stated, notice was given
the Postmaator General moro than a
year igo what could bc expected if
there win not acquiescence on his part
ni the suspension or repeal of thi.,
law. At that time a member of the
committee represonting those contend

ter General to acquiescc therein and
in the course of conversation blutl.tly
informed him, 'We hove made and un
made many Coiigressnien. We ruined

All Naval Offieers know, of rour.se,
that a new type of Naval dress is to
be adopted January lst next. On
the other hand, no officer cares to
spend full price for tiie present regu

only eight months. So we have met
this objection by reducing these uni
