With the men and resources of Russia and possibly Italy entered in the game beside of Germany, France and Britain stand a poor chance at winning. It is generally believed that if prance and 'Britain lose, Germany and her allies will move forward to take America. It is also believed that a portion of the Americas are now with Germany. Will the United States become involved in the war is not the only question, but will it be over there or over here is more important to us.

NEWSPAPERS BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM (From the Thomasville, Ga., Times-Enterprise J The only question that is both ering advertisers these days is which type of advertising pay^ best. They have alt learned that advertising pays and that unless it is used it will reflect a very un fortunate and dangerous condi tion in any business. The opin ions of many advertisers will be freely given in this regard, but the right way of getting the ac tual opinions is to go to those who> are influenced by advertis ing as to the types that pay. I Many people are averse to ad mitting they were drawn by ad vertising while many others go in and boldly demand what they saw, advertised and feel like they have been smart, showing the mer chant how be reached them and also holding him to his pledge. So th? advertiser wants also to be able to reach the maximum number with the lowest ^possible expenditure. Therefore any evi dence or statistics on the the gen era) public reactions to the var ious forms of advertising is most valuable* to those , who expend large sums on that business aid each y?ar.
