"Recently the president of the Uni ted States had it in his power to de cide whether three American boys, found asleep in the trenches in France should be shot," declared V. H. Stayton, executive secretary of the Navy league of the United States, in an address at the Chamber of Com merce Wednesday. "All I can say in this regard is God help us if we start that policy, for the whole nation has been asleep for many months." Mr. Stayton is touring America in the interests of the shipping board. He is a graduate of Annapolis, havinc served many years as a captain of the navy before retiring to civil life. He has three sons now m service in France. Ships Needed. Describing what he termed the "wretched state of affairs," Mr. Stay ton declared: "When war broke out the question was put to the Navy department: 'Can our navy fight overseas?' We abso lutely cannot, was the answer. To provide for battleships sent to France we must have 307 colliers. At present we have 24, and the Navy department admits it cannot, build any more for a year, and then the maximum output will be seven. "We sent our fleet around the world under 'Fighting Bob' Evans, thanks to Jingland, who furnished the col liers and the coal. Russian Ships Taken. "Germany has captured more ships from Russia and released more of its own from the Mediterranean than the United States has altogether. It took 20 war vessels from Russia. Some day those 20 are going to run the blockade. TJiey won't all get by the English fleet, which is the only power that safeguards us, but a percentage of them is bound to. Then God help our boys who are bound for France. Oh, we'll get the raiders, you say. Yes, we'll get them in six months. "Sixty million tons net weight is the tonnage required for world com merce during peace. That is what we had when war broke out. During the last year German U-boats have sunk 9,000,000 tons of shipping, and the civilized world, excluding Ger many, of course, built 3,000,000. The total world tonnage now stands at 29,000,000 tons, net weight, of which war purposes take a large portion. Wejmight as well look conditions in t!ie face the U-boats are slowly tear All the world hates a liar, and to my mind the thief is a gentleman in comparison with the man whose word cannot be depended upon. The outstanding, virtue of George Washington was his reputation for unswerving, honesty and that reputa tion will live forever. " It is bad enough when men lie to each other, but when deliberate falsehoods enter into an advertisement which may be read by thousands of people it is time to call a halt. A merchant, professional man, firm or corporation who will lie in an advertisement is unsafe and unfit to patronize. Thanks to the efforts of the RESPECTABLE adver tising men and the Press, THE DIRECT LIE (a mis statement of facts) is now seldom seen but the de ' psavity of the habitual liar shows in THE UNSPOKEN LIE the nasty weapon of the sniping skulker. v What would you think of a merchant advertising that he is the ONLY man in town who does not short change his customers? What would you think of him' if he claimed to be the ONLY merchant who sold all-wool clothes? AlA what would be your disgust and distrust if he claimed he was the only one who always did and always will give a dollar's worth for a dollar? The claims of having the largest store, biggest trade, finest stock, etc., are of themselves harmless, because transparent, but the UNSPOKEN LIE THAT REFLECTS UPON EVERY BUSINESS is worthy of the baby-killing Hun. f The strength of my practice has been that my printed announcements have been lived up to every promise made in the press has been fulfilled 4n my office and my space is devoted to UPLIFTING instead of tearing down.
