Associated Press.)—Though two
former secretaries of the navy
were present when the govern
ment’s lease cancellation suit
against the Pan-American Petro
leum and Transport Company

er of. them has yet taken the
stand as the battle for the control

Daniels will be called.

SERVANTS WITH
REFERENCES
E VERY housewife of today commands a retinue of servants.
Modern industry places them at her disposal. Many serv
ices, which in the past meant early rising and back-breaking
toil for the women of the household, are today performed deftly
and unobtrusively by the inventions of modern science.
Like her grandmother, the WQman of tpday wishes to know
something about the servants she employs. She prefers to have
them vouched for by some responsible person. So when the
manufacturer comes out squarely and advertises his vacuum
cleaners, kitchen cabinets, washing machines, electric irons and
gas stoves, she knows that he is standing behind his product.
She can feel that her confidence in the honest service of his
goods will not be abused.
That’s why it pays you to read the advertisements. Through
advertising you learn not only what is good, but what is trust
worthy. . k.
%
An advertisement is more than a reference—it is a
certified check of satisfaction.

Former Crown Prince Is Urged
' To Run for German Reichstag
Berlin, Oct. 27.—Count Westarp,
leader of the reactionary German
national party, called upon former
Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm
the other day.
The visit may prove of much
significance for it follows Wes

Kaiser at Doom.
The purpose of both visits was
to make Friedrich Wilhelm the

prince he should either run as the

German national party or should
issue a proclamation to the people
of Prussia urging them to sup

The nationalists in their offi
cial election statement declared
they believe in monarchy. Since
they regard Friedrich Wilhelm
as the future ruler of Prussia,
they want him to issue an appeal
as such. The emperor abdicated
in 1918 for his son as well as for
himself, but the heir was never
renounced his right to the throne
of Prussia as distinct from the
empire.

They do not expect to inaugu

pares the ground for monarchist

The prince’s ansiver to Westarp
was that his father must give
his consent and he believes this
will be forthcoming.
He has not yet decided which
of Westarp’s two suggestions he
will accept, but no doubt remains
that he will intervene actively in
politics, although he promised
when permitted to return to Ger
