PARIS. April S,-Irelandis sympathy
with France in the present war was
voiced today by delegation of leading

Joseph Devlin, president of the Ancient
Order of Hihernians. The delegate
comprising leading members of the Irish
party In the British parliament. WAS Ir-
ceived by President PoinCare and 'a~-
dinal Annette. archbishop of Paris. To
both. addresses outlining the Irish posi-
ton were presented.
Premier Nivianl. Henry Franklin Bouil-

address which said. in part:

touched by the address. and expressed
himself as greatly pleased over the as
surance that ireland sympathizes With
his beloved country.
The address made to Cardinal Annette
was by far the strongest utterance yet
made by a Catholic organization on the
present war. In part, II read:
'The Ancient order of Hibernians, in
convention assembled. resolved to offer
through Cardinal Annette an expression
of their profound sympathy for France
in this hour of dark trial. The ties be-
tween Ireland and France have existed
for ages. Through the darkest hours
Of our persecution and suffering we
have always kept dreaming that help
would come from France. In 1870. irish
men felt as keenly as did Frenchmen
the crime of the annexation of Alsace-
Lorraine In which they saw an outrage
against the principle OF nationality for
which Ireland herself had struggled for
seven centuries.

MOTORS ON TEST
FURNISH CURRENT
Wherefore the REQ Isn't
Spending as Much as You'd
Think at First.

Seems like an awfully expensive
equipment" said a REQ dealer on a re-
cent visit to the factory. when he was
shown into the big engine and chassis
testing department with the rows upon
rows Of thermometers and other cleo
trical apparatus.
1T does look like IT," said the REQ
guide. AS a matter Of fact our sales
department tells us IL is one Of the most
economical features OF our plant. What
seems to he extravasant in fact really
proves to be very cheap when II comes to
selling the product-you know we make
automobiles to sell. not to keen.
"The electrical equipment In his de-
partment Ia probably the most expensive
you will find I'm IN automobile factory
In the world. but o notice We are In
Sailing still more.
Every REQ motor and every REQ rear

eis-esch individual one-is subjected to
the most rigid and precise dynamometer

but the efficiency OF the Transmission
mechanism clean back to the tires Ia

In ~ adjoining room they found two
Bis generators. Here" said the REQ
man, you will see that we are general
ing over $50 horsepower on an average.
At times II run twice that. Aside from
the slight loss in the lines, we put all the
power developed by SO or 100 motors. as
the case may be. that are on the testing
blocks, into our lines and utilize II to
run the factory. II all the motors were
running to full capacity OF purse we
would generate a good deal more. but

several hours at a slow speed and grad
ually as II limbers up Increase Its speed
and power output until We finally de-
velop its maximum.
But the big return from this system
Is not In the power II develops but In the
guarantee II gives the customer. II en-
nbles us to guarantee him with absolute
certainty that his car will be Just as
good az any other REQ car ever turned
out OF the factory. our extremely low
service and maintenance cost Ii the best
proof OF the efficiency as we'll as econ

here. looks so e~xtravagant."

double that number of cars.
I'm other words we have sold ov0r
