London, Oct. 22.-An almost inn
penetrable veil eoneeals the most in
teresting operations of the war-those
in the vicinity of Adrianople No Of
fetal account of any kind bearing on
these operations has yet been issued.
The Sofia newspapers report fighting
around Adrianople, and Kirk-Kilisseh
to the east, and three forts in the vi
entity of Adrianople captured. Ac-
cording to rumors 1000 Bulgarians
were killed and 1000 wounded in a
desperate engagement outside of Kirk
Kilisseh.
1t is quite clear, however, that all
reports of the fall of Kirk Kilisseh
and the cutting of communications
with Gonstantinople are quite UNI
founded.
Fighting of more or less serious
character continues at all. points along
the extensive frontiers. and an impor-
tant battle is impending in the Ku-
manoya district between the Seryians
and Zekki Pasha, who, according to 4

ably exaggerated has 100000 men and

Incontrovertlble evidence has re-
peatedly been presented to demon
strate conclusively that America leads
the world in automobile manufacture.
Twelve years OF progress since the
holding of the first automobile show
has brought about a wonderful ad-
vance. Half of that time the progress
was comparatively slow, but during
the last five years gigantic strides
have been made by the big organiza-
tions that have been making and
marketing American motor cars
New industrial captains, great en-
glneers skilled workmen and finest
of machinery have all contributed to
the almost perfect car of today. The
automobile is no longer a luxury, but
has become a necessity, ranking in
usefulness with the railroad, tele-
phone, steamboat and telegraph
Anything becomes necessity that
bridges distance and annihilates time.
In materials the merits of the
American cars have advanced won
derfully, the steels and other articles
used having been improved until they
SUPPLY the maximum of efficiency.
For design it cannot be denied that
American body designers are i'm a class
by themselves, and where four or FIVE
years ago we copied the foreigner II
Is the American who is now being
copied
For quality the American maker,
whether ne builds a car at $500 or
$4,000 doffs his hat to no one Cars
selling from $3.50 to $4,000, l believe,
To- n
have done much to popularize the
American car. Foreign makers can
not compete with such cars even in
their own country, because they can
not produce I'm enormous quantities
and consequently cannot buy crude
materials at rock bottom prices
Each year has seen the quality OF
our good cars improve. whether the
Improvement mas been in steel, leath-
er, wood, rubber or paint. Naturally,
prices have not come down with a
thud, as the public would like, but
that has been because better cars
were being built. There is not likely
to be much reduction i'm the price Of
motor cars in the future, because the
price of new materials has been COM
ing up considerably, offsetting i'm a
large degree the decreased cost in
manufacturing which comes from
greater production. Tho purchaser
can feel assured, however. that Itho

him the very best machine I'm the

Pessimists and foreign manufactur-
ers may declare that because OF the
