GERMANY GETTING BUSY.
Germany is preparing for an ag
gressive commercial campaign in
South America to counteract what
is considered the political and
commercial expansion of the United
States in that part of the hemis
phere. The first "gun" to be fir
ed was the announced „ trip of
Prince Henry, the Kaiser's broth
er, and Princess Henry to Buenos
Ayres. They were to sail from
Hamburg „ today on the maiden voy
age of the new Hamburg American
steamer "Cape Trafalgar", which
is to be another liuk In the com
memrcial chain between German
and South America
Although declared "unofficial", it
Is well understood that Prince Hen
ry goes as the personal represent
a'ive of his brother, the Kaiser.
He will to some extent follow on
Roosevelt's trail. The relations
between Germany an-* the .Argen
tine Republic, have been becoming
more and I more friendly. There
are a considerable number of Ar
gentine officers in the German ar
my for study purposes. There
has been organized a "German Ar
gentine Industrial Union." The
Reichstag, to please Argentine,
has finally made an appropriation
for a German naval attache at
Buenos Ayres.
But what is considered one of
the most important steps, is a plan
of organizing a "German Overseas
Cable News Service'- between Ger
many and South America, which
is well under way. This has the
government's support, and men
close to the government are fin
ancing t'ue scheme.
At present the news service to
and from South America is almost
wholly ia the hands of the offic
ial French Havas Agency of Par
is. This agency supplies the South
American press with European
news. It has long been one of the
complaints of the German govern
ment, German press and German
industries, that the French agency
sends little or no German news
to South America and when it
does, that it is invariably ,ot a
character intended to bias the
South American countries political
ly or industrially against Germany.
In this way, it is claimed, the
French Agency has done much to
promote French trade and has been
a difficult handicap for German
indjstries to overcome.
Between the French agency and
agressiva American manufacturers,
Germany is alleged to have come
off second best in South America.
Prince Henry, the squadron of Ger
man warships new in South Amer
ican waters and . the proposed Ger
man Cable News Agency,particular
ly. the latter, arc *o work a change.
In* the past Germany's semi-of
licial press agents attempts under
c. ver o° private concerns, for a
"place in the Sun' , have not been
very successful noi profitable. It is
said tha». more than $100,000 have
been sun), in a German paper in
Constantinople The Deutsche Kab
elgram Custllschaft, a cable news
service with Ja*>an and China, semi
officially financed has brought lit
tle news to Germany and exerted
little influence in the Orient. It s
said thar this agency will be the
new "Overseas Cable News Ser

DECEPTION A
.. GRAVE OFFENSE
Exaggeration a EM Relative
to Falsefiocd.
EXPERIENCE OF CONSUMERS.
In the Art of Deception the Mail Order
Houses Excel the World—Where Is
the Doubting Thomas Who Does Not
Remember the "Sight Unseen"
Trades of Boyhood Days?
[Copyrighted. 1DU. by Thomas J. Sulli\ an.]
Of all the evil spirits abroad in the
land deception is the most dangerous.
It is the Orst and worst of all frauds.
Exaggeration is a blood relative to
falsehood aud nearly as blamable.
Some men and some business concerns
cnn never state an ordinary fact in
ordinary terms. All their geese are
swans till you see them.
There is no strength in exaggeration.
Even the truth is weakened by being
expressed too strongly.
A Gaping Monster.
Mankind in the gross is a gaping
monster that loves to be deceived and
has seldom been disappointed. They
say • that idiots only may be cozened
twice, but how about the mail order
buyers? How often are they deceived
by the lasge catalogue houses?
In the art of deception the great
mail order houses excel the world. In
their greed for gain and rush to vic
timize the poor and unsuspecting they
paint their pictures of alleged bargains
too alluringly. They instill confidence
In the mind of the buyer, only later
to fill his heart with doubt and dis
mast . .
Wiio doos tiot remember ttio "Sigm
unseen" trudes or "swaps" of boyhood
days? One of the parties In the trans
action usually got the worst of it,
didn't he? And as a rule it wasn't
the one who proposed the deal, was It?
There is a lot of the same so^t of
"sight unseen" trading going on to*
day, only nowadays it Is called mer
chandising by mall.
Catalogue* Look Inviting.
The illustrations In the catalogues of
the retail mall order houses look Invit
ing. The reading matter sounds nice,
and sometimes the deal turns out all
right.
But, even supposing It does, where-1
in is the buyer any better off than If
be bought Trom the home merchant?
Take any article you choose from the
long list of things sold by mall and
you will Q-ad upon Investigation that
you can buy It Just as cheaply and
just as well at home. The expense of
selling it by mail Is Just as great as
tlie expense of selling it over the coun
ter.
Your local merchants have rent, tax
es, clerk hire. etc.. to pay, and the
mall order houses have the same ex
penses. only rent nud taxes are higher
in the large cities than In the country
town. And. in addition, they have to
maiutaiu a small army of bookkeepers,
stenographers, shipping clerks and oth
er employees, besides the immense cost
of advertising.
How many of the rural consumers
know that advertising appearing In
what are known as mail order advertis
ing mediums costs from $42 to $85 an
inch in single columns? It is true nev
wtlieless. Where does the enormous
pnolit come from out of which these
enormous bills are paid? Out of the
pockets of the consumers.
Would Welcome Such Bargains.
The city people would go wild with
joy if these mall order houses actual
ly had values with style and quality.
They would not need to leave their
own large cities to sell at the prices
they quote, as the city people would
swoop down upon their bargains like
hungry hen hawks on green goslings,
but with style and value lacking they
do not dare snow their goods in the
city where the prospective customers
would have the opportunity of com
parison, but by cleverly worded and
exaggerated description they make the
country people believe they are offer
ing more desirable wares than the
country merchant carries and at a less
price, nnd. having no opportunity for
comparison before buying, many peo
ple naturally are duped.
Everybody knows the picture of a
five dollar suit of clothes looks as good
as the picture of a twenty dollar suit
The description reads well. The suit
seeuis to be what you want
Cash With the Ord«r.
You seud your good money be
cause the mull order house will not ac
cept au order where the money does
not accompany It. Then the suit ar
rives. It was to be all wool, but It Is
not. It is fully a size too large and
several years out of date, and, besides,
it has the style and general appear
ance of the prison made garment.
If Mr. Mail Order Man were right
there you would not accept the goods,
but he is far away, selling suits, no
doubt, to some other nonsuspecting
sons of man.
Next time you are attracted by an
ad. of some mail order "bargain" Just
• lip it out and take It to your local
dealer and see If he will not duplicate
it. That's only neighborly and fair
und gives your merchant a chance to
make good bis statement that bU
prices are the lowest and his goods
the best.
