As a manufactured product, Direct-by- Mail Advertising is one of the mainstays of an industry that ranks sixth in the United States and Canada in volume of business. American printing establishments in 1909, as scheduled in the 1914 report of the census bureau, numbered 31,445. They represented an investment in plants, machinery and other equipment of $588,- 345,708, employed 388,466 people at an annual wage of $268,086,431, and turned out $737,876,087 worth of printing. Over one hundred million dollars amount, it is estimated by of this "Printer's Ink," was paid for Direct Advertising.

" NEW DRIVE FOR CONSTANTINOPLE Montreal Herald (Lib). a The most striking development re- sulting from Rumania's entrance into the war Will be a new drive for Constantinople. This is the opinion expressed. by-Professor Louis --G- Michael, an American who has beén in the employ of the Russian govern- ment for the past six years as agri- cultural expert. His view is that the Russians will gdvance along the Black Sea coast from Odessa and Kishinev down through Rumania and Bulgaria and so into Constantinople by the back door. ry ; -The plan is quite feasible. Rus- sia: has a remarkable network = of double-track strategic railways con- verging on Reni--a network that would enable a great army. to move swiftly through Rumania on Varna, the principal Bulgarian seaport. Sim- ultaneous action by the Russian Black Sea fleet wiuld doubtless soon open up the war for a drive along the coast to Constantihople, only 150 Aa It is said that immense Stores of munitions have already been assembled in Bessarabia for this drive. But it is contingent, of ' FQ il ith OFFICE. 26 KING STREET EAST TORONTO course, on the ability of the Ruman- iajps tp-hold the Austrians in check beforé Kroustadt. - i So far they appear t6 be able to do this. Once it 1s assured that the Rumanians can protect the flank of the Russian army from the Austrians, we may see the Russian hosts pour- ing down through Reni upon Bul- garia. The latter would have no course but to capitulate before the Russian onslaught, and in a very short time the Russians should be hammering the defences of Con- stantinpple. hn view of the possibil- ities the maih interest in the war is likely to be concentrated on the Bal- kans for some time to come. Great Britain Saved France, Lg Petit Journal, Paris. no Frenchman deceive himself on-this matter. -- Events have proved that if the struggle -had been local. ized between France and Russia on the one hand and Germany and her allies on the other, a German yictory 'would have been the consequence. It is useless to cherish phantasms. The facts are there. Without Great Britain our ports were practically at the mercy of the enemy. Our over- sea communications were practically cut off. Germany had made no mis- take on that point, and if she now hates the British it is because she sees in them the prircipal cauge of Her approaching downfall.

FEELING EFFECT OF © TEMPERANCE ACT Winnipeg Telegram. As a matter of fact, next to the abolition of the bar, the most valu- able provision of the Manitoba Tem- jerance Act--{from the point of view of keeping the community sober -- is that which requires the liquor to be bought outside the province and imported by the consumer himself. Many men who would drink if the opportunity were at hand will not do 80 if they have to go to any particular trouble to get it. Almost any citizen of Winnipeg could mention, if 'he wished, the names of acquaintances whose habits | have been greatly improved for this very reason. --There--are hundreds who used to drink a little, but who have stopped al . There are handreds of others who allow a con- siderable interval of time to elapse between occasional bottles which they order from Kenora. This good effect would bé com- pletely lost if the liquor could be sold at the place where it is manu- factured, True the express compan- fies have substantially increased their husiness between here and the near- est emporium in the neighboring province of Ontario.
