(ending the jiuuiiiil convention ol the
Associated Advertising I'hihs of the

Mr. Finn spoke of (he "newspaper,
tho ndveitiser and the ailvcitising

and thnt there was nothing closerl
to the hearts of the leading public
than the "live news eonccining buy

"I believe in the efficiency of
newspaper advcitisiiig because
I
have seen what it can do in such a
variety of lines, covoiing such a di
vcrL'cnco of propositions that the
possibility of luck or accident must
he eliminated fioui consideration."
It is the paper which publishes the
true news that pays the ndvortiser
best, the speaker said.
"Ocnernlly speaking, the best
newspaper is the one which securcH
the best advertising," Mr. Finn con
tinued. "And the best advertising is
what helps make it thn best newspa
per. Truth is the slogan of this con
vention. Truth is the slogun of the
newspaper that hopes to win the most
lusting success the widest inllii

newspaper advertising and merchan

deemed incredible ten years ago. And
these successes wore solid they
stayed put.

"Wiidoubtedlv tho greatest thing

deals in umpiicling rumors, that dis

OUT ON STREETS WITH LONDON'S MILLIONS AT MIDNIGHT DURING ZEPPELIN RAID
With Desperate Courage People Stand

Come, Writes Mary Boyle O'Reilly.
Mall Triliune Correspondent.
(Hy Mury Iloyle O'lteillv.)
LONDON, Kiiu., June '. I huvq
just been out in the sheets with l.on
don's millions ut midnight dining a
Zeppelin raidl
The friend who promised to take"
me out kept faith with me. It wiih'
near midnight last night when the tel
ephone rang.
"Zeppelins over London," whisper
ed the eager voice. "I am waiting
below with a molor."
Thiee minutes later we weie glid
ing (litough silent stleets under the
ipiiet stars.
Fast and west small shady parks
intuit' recesses of deeper darkness. In
the midst of each stood a shadowy
scaffolding crowned with it sky
pointing nil gnu.
(Sun Ocvvs Await SIkiuiI
In the moonlight I eonhl almost
count the gun crews waiting and
rendy. Their courage was not calmer
than that of the crowds who cramm
ed the streets.
After long threatening the great
raid had come. ,
The air throbbed with expectation
and curiosity, but no fear. Hvery
policeman was at his post, thousands
of special constables on duty, hun
dreds of first aid volunteers concen
trated at strategic points with am
btilunces or stretchers.
Tin street cleaners who wash the
pavements of London every night
Mood ut attention, giant hose coil
pled to corner hydiauts, firemen
Hearing brass helmets lined up in the
doors of their stations. The enemy
was about to vvicuk his worst Lon
don was ready ami waiting.
On tho first alarm the majority of
street lamiis were suddenly extin
guished, hut moonlight flooded the
wider streets. "A wonderful night,
rl"ir, warm ami calm," said the citi
zen constable. "We tire bound vj
have a hundred such befoie thu aut
umn npiinox. lint the war ol'ticc
should put out that moon."
Ilouili .Smashes Oiltbltvt
Crush! A mile to the east u bomb
smashed the cobbles, flinging blis
tering fragments ugainst the nenruft
houses. Instantly the motor sped into
the echoes. Next woment towers of
flume flashed up north and south.
Two big lumberyards hud been siiiiul
tuueously fired. Moth burned as pe
1 1 oleum bums, straight upward, with
out smoke, gigantic torches under the
arch of the daik. Kiicmv airmen
could ask no better beacon, assuming
that they knew the location of these
sites.
The mounting Humes illuminated
great metis of the congested foreign
cities which make up Fust Loudon.
Hv that awful light I saw a thrilling
thing the calm courage of the com
mon people.
For mile alter mile of city sticels
:i,(HH),0(H) men and women heroes
and heroine of whom the world will
never hear stood m tho daikened
stieets, icadv and waiting.
Ileie and theie a rabbi, suctcd
Talmud held to his breast, comforted
his nervous people, everywhere
pncts ami ministers leussiiied ipiiet,
hut desperately anxious crowds.
In Last Loudon alone are conceit
tinted twelve ctaut K"s tanks. To
hoinh these would poison, perhaps
imperil ull Loudon. Thciefoie the
citic of the poor arc the deadliest?
point ot attack for luthlcs air-raid-ersi.
UmiiIoii a Might) Target
No human intelligence could fore
see the piohuhihticft of the night.
Loudon was a miglitv turgct for en
emy airmen. Injutv was inevitable,
catiiktioplie, even cataely-m, pos
sible. Millions ot men and women
eiowded into the almost silent streets,
lealixed that for theui theie wits no
CM-apo. Any wholesale flight from
the threatened aiea was practically
impoftsible. Tiemeudoii-. distances
separate the great cit.v's boroughs
Hint the big ti'Hin strike blocks ts.cn pe
to comparative satety.
A little group ot ctnlnble and

This means that its treatment of its

its service to its patrons, its methods
