Enemy Properly Liable
Enemy property, whether belonging

will be liable to seizure in payment 'of
reparations, the German Government
being left witli the duty of compensat

which acquires control over any former

Germany will be called upon to make
reputation for damage inflicted upon
French citizens in Knnierun. on the
frontier zone, between January 1, 11)00,
and August 1, 11)1 I, This clause calls
for some explanation. Its insertion nud
that of one other in (he peace (realy
is due to the desire of the French to
make it definite that the series of agree

Greatest, Grandest

Each year advertising becomes more believable
as advertisers get a little older.
Most lies are told by children, not with the intent
to deceive, but inspired by the seeming necessity
for securing emphasis.
The new advertiser wants to attract attention in
a babel of voices, all demanding a hearing.
So he shouts and screams and bellows with best
of intention and with little result.
He means no harm, but just wants to be heard
and doesn't realize that his voice is cracking.
, As he grows older, he learns that red, after all,
has only 60 of the strength of black, and that to
be believed is more than just to be heard.
Don't you agree that as advertising grows older
it grows milder and stronger?
