We believe that this condition evinceS degree of con- fdence in a motor car manufacturer for which 1t would be difficult to find parallel. This years Cadillac sales conditions the conditions of last year, and the year before and several years before that intensified ten-fod.
 Public opinion-alwayS keen concerning new Cadillac has been stimulated to the point of intense eager ness by the 1913 features
 The long stroke quiet flexible engine of greatly increased power; the longer wheel base; the larger tires; the improved and smpihed Cadillac Delco Electrical system (patentedD, of automatic crankng lighting and ignition, improved and simplifed as the result of the experience gained by the of the old system 12,O00 Cadilacs the automatic spark control these and other 1913 features mean so much to the man who is convinced of Cadillac precedence to the exclusion of every other car that anticipation has been amazingly aroused.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-11-02

Judge John NJ. Sweeny, counsel for accused, made motion that the case be dismissed for lack of evidence, as it had not been proven that any of fence had been committed. Gallucio is charged with using a dangerous weapon, but the man alleged to be hurt knows nothing about it, and there is no evidence to show that the defendant inflicted the wound or is responsible for it. The states witness says the officer took Altimeri home. but that he came back looking for trouble. Gallucio was attacked by AL ttneri, the aggressor, and Gallucio was not obliged to retreat, but de- tended himself against his assailant, and to meet force with force is justi- liable by law. There is no testimony that the defendant cut the plaintiff with 8 knife. Someone told the of- ticer that Gallucio did it, but none of the witnesses saw the fracas. The state must show that the defendant Is guilty. which has not been done. and counsel asked that accused be dis charged.
 Town Solicitor Agard replied briefly and Judge Williams announced that the court was satisfied of the proba- ble guilt of the accused, and bonds of S1,UUO were nXed Tor his appearance in the superior court for Washington county, the third Monday in Novena- Der.
 John Altineri, the complaining wit ness, was, at the request of the town solicitor, placed under a bond of $500 for appearance at tho same time.
 The enbezzlenent cases against Peter M. Rose were called. Judge Sweeney, counsel for Rose, raised points of defect in complaints. and asked for dismissal. Judge Williams took the case under consideration un- til next regular court day.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-11-02

Dr.. M. H. ScanIon testified that he attended AItimeri shortly after ii o'clock on Saturday night, October 19, and that the man was badly injured. Altimeri was in bed and readily rec ognized witness. Altimeri said he thought he was going to die and sug- gested summoning a priest, but was assured there was no immediate dan ger of death. There was diagonal cut over the lower part of the breast bone and another wound in the right side that was bleeding freely. The escaping air indicated that the lung was punctured. Witness cleaned and dressed the wounds. Altirneri thought he was dying. He was perfectly con scious and made no complaint of pain in the head and was competent to tell all that was going on and did tell of the stabbing afrat. He complained df pain from the wounds, but not from the head. There was a big crowd of people in the house. Made two visis next day and one in consultation with Dr. Lewis, and five subsequent visits. Altimeri's mind was perfectly normal and he never complained of headache. He told connected account of how the stabbing happened. The doctor testi- lied that he did not see Altimeri on Friday of last week. court day, but he was in good condition the Thursday before. Altimeri could not have re- ceived both wounds by falling, but they were inflicted by a sharp instru- ment, presumabl knife. Altimeri fully realized that he was stabbed.

.The past year manufactured i2Ooo carS yet 9O9 of Cadillac dealers could have sold from 1O9o to 5O@o more cars if we had been able to supply them. Obviously many who desired to get CadillacS failed to obtain them because they delayed placing their orders.
 For 1913 the Cadillac Company is preparing to build 15,oOO cars. Every one of these has been contract ed for by our dealers and orders have already been taken by them for more than one-thrd of the entire production.
 Our dealers tell us that this years output will not be nearly large enough but it is the maximum that we can produce.
 In the light of previous experience and the present eager enthusiasm your course therefore should be clear.
 Simple prudence-and simple justice to yourself and to hinl-SuggeSS the wisdom of an early conference with your Cadillac dealer, even though you may not want delivery of your car for several months.

At a meeting held last Thursday
evening, steps were taken by
which the organization of the
Exira Commercial GLIB was COM
pleted; and it has already become
easily the most promising of Ex-
tra's younger Institutions.
Its birth was unattended by eff
tsrvescent and short-lived enthut
atasm. Rather it was an act of
deliberate and well-considered judg
ahent on the part of Extras busi-
aess and professional people, who
believe that such a step is war;,
sAnted by existing conditions, and
Who are wiling to contribute OF
their time and substance to the
Dpbuilding of Extras commercial
Interests.
Unity OF purpose, and unanimity
- sentiment we're pleasing features
- the meeting. And to the pre-
can't time thirty of Exira's repre-
sentative people have taken out
membership in the new organi1ae
item paying the required fee Of
$1,000.
Officers elected we're as fol-
lows: w. 81. Lancelot, President;

The HOUR OF FATE
The Moslem Horde, Which Poured
Out of Asia More than Four Gen-
turies Ago, Now Making It's Last
Stand on European Soil.

Four hundred and sixty-one years
have passed since the Terrible Turk
entered Europe. They came out
of Asia, destroying horde of Mos
lens, bent upon the conquest OF
Europe and putting all Christians
to the sword.
They fell upon Constantinople,
which resisted most desperately, bu
could not Withstand their onslaught
and it became the capital of the
Ottoman Empire, which they were
resolved should include all Europe.
This was nearly forty years be-
fore Columbus sailed westward to
reach. India, and found an un-
known world, instead.
Step by step, they fought their
way into Europe, but the resist
ance of the Christian tribes was
so obstinate that their progress was
slow. And it was one hundre
thirty years later that they ap-
peared before the walls of Vienna,
tho capital of Austria. Here they
were repulsed and overthrown.
This was more than three hun
dred years ago; and since that
time they have been gradually driv-
en- backward. desperately contest
Ing every inch Of ground. How
strange that the drama OF the
centuries should have reached itSs
great climax within the past thirty
days. For it must be understood
that one of the greatest battles
of all history is the one in which,
the Balkan allies routed and all
but destroyed the Turkish army
only two or three weeks ago. No
battle IN all our nations history
can be compared with it for dead
ly and desperate fighting, for no
great battle has ever been fought
on American soil in which quarter
WAS neither asked nor given, and
we of America can hardly realize
what this means. Moreover, no
two battles fought in America COM
bined' would equal in magnitude
the mighty conflict which resulted
In the rout of the Turks.
In the city which they first cap
tured they are making now their
-ast stand in Europe, for they
have been driven into Constantine
pie. When this written it seems,
inevitable that it will be taken by
the triumphant Bulgarians, unless!
the scourge of cholera deters them.
Four hundred sixty-one years is
long time to wait for vengeance.
In every year of that period the
Turks have been guilty Of rapine,
ptllage and massacre of defenceless
Christians. 1t is perhaps the blood
lest chapter in all human history,
for 1t may be said to have been
so many centuries of ceaseless,
slaughter. Now the tide has.
turned; and the Turks, routed
and in retreat. still slay Christian
women and children. as they flee
in panic to get within the walls
Of Constantinople.
They are doomed. And if they
escape the fate which they have
inflicted upon others. 1t will not be
because they deserve any such
good fortune.

CHRISTIAN POLITICS
The Stand of the -Four Million in
Whose Eyes the Light of High
Resolve Was Not Dimmed.

There is lesson in the great
struggle of 1912, which right-mind-
ed people may consider with re-
joicing.
Those who worship the. fetish
of party are dwindling in number
and those who worship at the
shrine of righteousness are in
creasing nightly. AS a nation.
we have not yet grasped the start
ling fact that more than -FOUR
MILLION American voters followed
Conscience as their one, sole guide.
even when it bade them renounce
the bonds of party and stand forth
as defenders Of nearly hopeless
but righteous cause.
For there is no doubt that prac-
tically all of these four million,
who have forsaken the old party
standards within the last three
months, have followed MO other
monitor or guide than their own
consciences. and they have been
actuated by no other considerations
than that of right and wrong.
This is Christian politics; and
1t matters not whether this great
new army Is made up of be-
levers or unbelievers. Jews or
GENTLE, bond or free, They are
wagipg battle for righteousness,
and against the powers Of dark
ness in high places. II the Church,
or it's members, opposes them, so
much the worse for the Church,
and its members: for there 10
but ONE standard of right, and
the enlightened consciences OF
honest men are unerring in their
knowldge of it.
Faith, without works is dead. Il
is for Christian people to- stand
uncompromisingly and unfalteringly
in these days for righteous princi-
pies. To oppose them, or even to
be Indifferent to them. is the In
den Of insincerity. To ba an
whited sepulchers without. but
within as dead mems bones, is a.
easy today as nineteen hundred
years ago. When the time comes
II it ever does, that the Church,
or its membership, ceases to stand
for right and wholesome things in
human society at that time It
will cease to be useful and must
pass away. 1t MUST be found,
ever and forever. on the battla
l:le. warning again-t ~ sin lad
human VT. ng. failure there
can be- No excuse. No human so-
phistry can alter Christian duty,
for it is not of human origin At
the head of the mighty army,
which is battling for civic and so-
cial righteousness, still stands the
Nam of Galilee.
He has sounded forth the trump
ct that shall never call retreat;
He is sitting out the hearts OF
men before his judgement seat;
"Oh, be swift. my soul, to answer
him, be jubilant, my feet.
Our God is marching on"
