"' " . ; business men and private individuals interested in the value to them of the art of advertising will do well to remember these facts. They were brought out forcefully in a speech delivered recently in Atlantic City by Karl D. Babst. Mr. Babst explained that reputations of value attach to localities as much as to indi viduals and corporations. ' , "The greatest asset in the world is good will," said Mr. Babst "" " "Good will, in the simple, terms; of American business, is 'good reputation.' ' ''-'!

Order to Return All Issued in March, 1922, Suspended Out of Special Consideration to Europe America Has Not Been Compensated for Cost Which Exceeds $256,000,000. Germany Not to Blame. Washington, Jan. 24. The ordering home of the last detachment of the American army of occupation stationed in Germany completes the movement started early in the present administration to withdraw all our armed forces from European territory, r At the time Republicans came into power there were approximately 15,000 men in the American army on the Rhine. In October, 1921, Secretary of War Weeks announced this force would be cut to one brigade of infantry and the necessary auxiliary troops, making a total of approximately 5,000 men. In February, 1922, it was announced that a further reduction of 203 officers and 3,000 enlisted men would be made. This left in Ger many only 2,000 enltised men and 169 officers. Upon both occasions this policy met with the approval of the American people. Some notable exceptions were leading Democratic papers, like the Baltimore Sun, which denounced very bitterly the policy of reducing the American army. On March 20, 1922, orders were is sued by Secretary of War Weeks for the return of ail remaining United States troops from Germany. The order read as follows: "Some months ago the President directed tbat the troops in Europe, at least in excess of 2,000 officers and men, should be returned to the Uni ted States He has now directed that this service be continued until all of the troops have been brought to the United States, which would mean that before the end of the fiscal year the entire force will hare been re turned. This order stood until May, 1922, at which time the force had been re duced to about 1,200, which is its present strength. In May, 1922, it was announced that the return of all troops would be held in abeyance. Although no reason was officially assigned for this change of policy by te United States Government, it was known to be due to the representa tions made to this Govrnment by Great Britain. France, Belgium and Germany. All four of those nations requested the United States Govern ment not to withdraw the small de tachment of American soldiers which were quartered in German territory Each nation assigned the same rea son, namely, that the presence of the United States troops, even though small m number, served to stabilize conditions along the Rhine and fear was expressed that their withdrawal might prove hurtful. It was in view of these representations, and as a result of them, the order of March 20 was indefinitely suspended. The American army was first sta tioned upon the Rhine under the terms of the Armistice pending the negotiations of a peace treaty. At that time more than 200,000 soldiers were assigned to the American army of occupation. This army in con junction with British, Belgian and French troops, occupied German ter ritory under terms of the Armistice in order to compel an observance by the German government of the Arm istice terms pending final peace by terms of treaty The Versailles treaty provided for armits of occupation to remain on the Rhine until the indemnities as sessed against Germany by terms of that treaty were paid It in under the terms of this treaty, which Germany ftigned, that France, England and Belgium have maintained and still maintain armies in German territory. With the rejection of the treaty by the United States Senate the right of the United .States Government to maintain soldiers in Germany no longer existed by any legal authority. Bad Germany objected to their We: enee it would hav ben nece-ssaiy for this Government 'j recall tnem, but the Germa i ;ov j-ninrnt wn in si stent upon the continuation of an American army in the occupied ter ritory and it was largely In defence to this feeling that the troop wore permitted to remain.' With the ron elusion of the treaty between this rounrty and Germany, legal author ity for the retention of armed furcen in the occupied territory was re vived, as under the terms of that treaty the United Htates retained all rights which she had undr the ar siisUca, and as between thi country . ! .

It has cost the United States Gov ernment something in excess of $256,000,000 to maintain her army in German territory. The United States is the orilt-government maintaining armed forces in Germany since the Armistice that has "not received any compensation .covering the, cot of such tnairienanee. ' All I other ' na tions having- armed forces along the Rhine have been compensated for the cost of such maintenance. Statements frequently appear in print that our failure to receive any money covering the cost of our army of occupation is due to Germany's defaulting in her payments. This is not true. Our failure to be compen sated for th& maintenance of an ar my along the Rhine is due to trickery and sharp practice by the Allied pow ers represented on the Reparations Commission. 1 TJle Treaty of Versailles, which of ficially Urought peace 'and officially provided for the-' retention of armed forces in Germany until Germany had complied with all the provisions of that, treaty, contained, the pro vision thai the) cost of the1 upkeep of troops ! occupation should he the ir lilt SWEET HONE Oicar ahnri vanti 1 I know whe'i i bugging at oiia : Tf Terry Gilki&on MOC4Tf.ft I JUST UJ WH(6r I'CT. by keeping up its QUALITY, by niakjng ood THE PROMISES of the ADVERTISING, bv doing nothing to injure the chief asset, which is GOOD.

Buyers protect themselves when they learn to test the prom ises and the fulfilments of advertisers, the value of a NAME ON A PACKAGE or a product of any kind.

Buyers should know, and many manufacturers,-business men of good character with good products should know, more than thev do know about advertising power, Its meaning, i!S value to "the producer AND MUCH GREATER VALUE, TO THE CONSUMER. There are advertised articles in which amounts ai (front as fiftv millions and more have been invested, 'MERELY TO BUILD UP THE NAME. ' It not likely, that, the' owner of such a name, with his millions invested ip. it, would for the sake of temporary profit jeopardize the great ciipital that the name represents. The business man who has not learned what advertising can do for him, locally and nationally, might write to Earl D. Babst. No. 117 Wall Street, New York City, for a copy of his speech. . ' ' 1 first charge, or lien, upon the assets and revenues of the German govern ment, and that these costs should date from the signature of the Ar mistice It was provided that these costs should be paid by Germany to the Reparations Commission and paid in gold, instead of the depreciated German currency. The costs were assessed against Germany and Ger many has pnid them, but the Repara tions Commission has never paid to the United States a red penny of the money collected from Germany to pay for the upkeep of foreign troops on German soil. The United States Government was fully aware that the Reparations Commission was collecting from Germany the costs for the armies of occupation, and was fully aware that other nations were being compensat ed for maintaining troops along the Rhine. Out of a spirit of charity and a desire to do nothing that might cause hard feelings or give rise to the charge that we were suspicious of the good faith of the Reparations Commission, the United States Gov ernment made no protest against this condition until early in 1922. Action by the United States Gov ernment at this time was precipitat ed as the result of the conference of the allied premiers at Cannes. This conference was held in January, 1922, at the insistence of Lloyd George, who had several little schemes which he wished to "put over" in connection with European affairs. It ' was at . this conference that a decision was reached among the allied premiers that in the division of reparations extracted from Germany the cost of the American army of oc cupation should be altogether ig nored because the United States Sen ate had refused- to ratify the Ver sailles treaty This was in face of the provisions of the Versailles treaty that these costs should be collected by the Reparations Commission and in face of the fact that the Repara tions Commission had collected the costs. It was in the face of the fur ther fact that while the United States had not ratified the Treaty of Versailles, its army on the Rhine was being maintained at the special request of Great Britain and France wh believed that so long as America kept armed forces alongside of theirs in Germany it would give the appear ance that America sustained their contentions. As a result of this decision at Can nes to let the United States "hold the sack" in so far as the costs of her army of occupation was concerned, the State department immediately drafted and sent to the governments of Great Britain, France, Italy, Bel gium and Japan a very sharp note which informed those powers that the United States did not propose to submit to any such treatment. This note called the attention of those governments to the fact that the United States was not keeping an ar my upon the Rhine because of any interest It had In patrolling German territory. Upon this point Secre tary Hughes said very bluntly: "The government of the Allied AUNP SHUTTIM6. vouR. tacb untiu i ee WHO'S Day By Day In Every Way It . if 1 '?-V Coot, a Uttte French irvtg- Ktet of Knur, to In th V. 8. to teach inro-oaggwaon. 3"D&y liy day, In vary way I am getting tetter and l etter," caret dekneu If rain repeat ertly and bettered, 1 hli claim. Powers will not be unmindful of the fact that the government of the Uni ted States has repeatedly and earn estly been solicited not to withdraw its army of occupation, and this ar my has been continued upon the basis of the right to be paid it's actual cost upon an equal footing with the Allies." Secretary Hughes further informed the various countries that if our claim was not allowed by the Repar ations Commission it would be due: "Solely to the refusal of the gov ernments of the Allied Powers them selves to permit the discbarge of an admittedly equitable claim and thus to seek to maintain in their behalf exclusively a first charge upon alt the assets and revenues of the German government." As a result of this note the allied governments disavowed any intention of "bilking" the United States out of money justly due it. Nvertheless, instead of paying any money to the United States to cover the cost of maintaining her army in Germany, they proposed to have a conference to talk it over and to find some means of "adjustment." This conference is now in. progress. Meantime, none of the money due the United States Government for keeping an army in Germany from November 11, 1918, te the present date has been paid by the allied gov ernments, although they have col lected from Germany under the terms of the treaty the costs of supporting the various armies of occupation in Gorman territory. Great Britain has been paid $2t2,896f7r3, France has been paid $59422,973 Belgium has been paid $100 ,9 25,666. FOR SALE Or will trade for work stock, two 3-bottom adjustable plows.

U. 5. SE1T Selection of Presidential Candidates is Most Import ant of All and Should Not be Left to Boss Controll ed Convention Methods Which Leaves Voters Noth ing But Choice Between Two Evils. By United States Senator George W. NorkiS, ; ? ' -Chairmao, Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry.1 Washington, D. C., Jan. 24. A primary for the nomination of can didates for office is in reality, a part of the election machinery. A pri mary election is often more important than the regular election which follows. To deny to the people the right to nominate their candidates for office, is in reality, a denial of the right of suffrage. The primary elections have come into almost universal u&e in the . nomination of all candidates for office except President, of the United States. Why should this exception exist? If the people are allowed by primary to select their candidates for governor, for the House of Representatives and for United States Senate, then by what logic are they deprived of the right to select in the same way their candidates for President? The President it the most import- I ant office of all. Ha has mors to do both with the making ot the laws and their administration than any other official in the country. He is part of the legislative machinery of the fed eral government. He helps to make the laws under which all of the peo must live. The President is practically su preme in the enforcement of these laws. He appoints all of the execu tive officials in the entire country. He likewise appoints all of the judges of the United States courts and tnua has an indirect inluerce ujon the interpretation of law as well as their enactment and enforcement. National Conventions Ignore Wiha of Kank and (file. Everybody knows that the national conventions of both of the great po litical parties pay but little heed to the wishes of the rank and file of those parties. We have seen a great political par ty practically dominated and con trolled by a sick man a thousand miles away from the place where the convention was held. We have seen a great national con vention of a great political party completely changed in the sentiment of its membership by the contests and the arbitrary rules of a national committee in making up the tempor ary roll of the convention. Every intelligent American citizen knows that national conventions are not controlled by the people but by the political machines and the polio ical bosses and when the two conven tions of the dominant political, par, ties are thus controlled, there is noth ing left for the people except a choice between two evils. When the people do not dominate, the people cannot elect. r In the case of our President, the work of the national eonvention is the last and the final act, There is nothing left except a ratification of one or another. There is no appeal from their decree. Independent Candidates Cannot Be Electee. - It is true that in theory an inde pendent candidate might run for the office of President after the con v en. tions had disregarded the wishes of the people. As a matter of practice, however, tit is theoretical right is nothing but a myth, and it is practically impos sible for an Independent candidate to make any headway in running for President.
