He owes his business a fair chance. Because his business is the machinery through which he pays himself for his work. A fair chance means that he gives his business every known opportunity to flour ish. Business is like gardening. The gardener who picks out the shady corners fpr his sun-loving plants doesn't give them a fair chance to turn into food and flowers. The business which keeps its offerings in the dark doesn't give them a fair chance to turn into dollars. , The man who expects the , public to( come to him without telling it what to come to him for isn't doing himself justice.

M ONLY FOR DRAW American Headquarters In France. Sept. 27. A correspondent of the Associated Press haa Interviewed a number of German war prisoners. All were enlisted men, henre the vtews' they expressed reflected the sentiments of tbe common German populace. Here are a few typical ex pressions of the war: "The musses In Germany had nothing to say In the making of the war," said the architect. "We were called out and we either had to go or be shot. ' We thought we could starve England in a few montba, but they seem to be building shlpa as fast as we can sink them. America will probably make matters worse for us." The architect had -been taken prisoner since America entered the war. He exploded the theory, held in America, that the German armies had been kept In Ignorance of Am erica's entrance. "I heard or tt within a few. days, you can't keep such a thing secret It spread like wildfire. That was about all we talked about for days "I think the best we can hope for la a draw. The enemy has become too strong. America haa given the allies renewed courage, and will furnish a big army. The average German would be satisfied. I think with a draw."
