THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
I STORY OF THE GREAT WAR
I Startling Reveliations in Connection With
I The German invasion of Neutral Belgium
I It has just come to light through publication in the New York
I imes of certain heretofore secret correspondence between Kaiser William and President Wilson that
the German government as early as 1914 justified the violation of Belgian neutrality on stragetic
gropnds. This correspondence has been kept from the press dudng three years, and publication
thereof is permitted This time only in connection with the United States’ entry into the ranks of the
beligerents.
No single instance yet developed in this gigantic conflict of the nations serves more aptly to ill
ustrate the power and advantages of advertising than does this It shows concisely how she peo
ple, as long as this news was kept out of the newspapers, failed to understand Germany’s reasons for
ruthlessly over-running this small, neutral country, and its publication is expected to arouse a storm
of protest, the effect of which will be felt throughout civilization.
So it is with the merchant who fails to advertise. No matter what you have to offer; no matter
how great bargains he may be in possession to give, unless he advertises these facts, the public is in
ignorance thereof, and his store remains empty of customers. The way to advertise is to use news
paper space. Write your advertisements carefully; tell the people what you have to sell, and the
price you offer your goods at. Change your advertisements often; it doesn’t pay to run the sarre
old announcement day-in-and-dap out; people get tired of reading the same advertisements over and
over again.
Let our Advenisir g Department help you in the preparation of your “copy.” Use space liber
ally and you will find this one of the best investments you ever made. Our Mi. T. M. Merritt, Jr.,
is in charge of this department, and he will be glad to talk with you and explain the fine points of
the advertising game.

LEGAL STAFF Os
OOmMNS
WASHINGTON, D. C„ August 11.—
The entire legal staff of the emergen
cy fleet corporation has quit in a body, I
because of sympathy, it was said, with
.Major General Goethals, whose resig
nation as general manager of the cor
-1 poration was accepted by President
Wilson.
On the staff are some of the country’s
best known lawyers. They are George
Rublee, a former member of the federal
trade commission; Joseph P. Cotton,
| George H. Savage and Charles P.
Howland, of New York, and Edward R.
■Hulling, of Chicago. Ail except Mr.
■ Savage, were serving without pay.
The attorneys resigned several days]
ago but their action lias just become]
! i nown. Officials of the fleet corpora-1
lion admitted they had left, but refus-1
uil to offer an explanation. It was.
learned, however, the lawyers felt they j
ihould go out with General Goethals |
end that Rear Admiral Capps, now I,
eneral manager, shculd be left free to]
choose his own assistants. j
