Gar Lost Arms Plant
by German Treachery

London, Sept. 15.-"The Daily News"
says it was through German treachery
that the great Russian ammunition
factory at Okhta, a suburb of Petro-
grad, was blown to pieces some months
ago.
This had determining influence on
the Russian military situation" "The
Daily News" says, "as the Allies had 20
come TO the rescue by the circuitous
Archangel route. Thousands of work
men were killed, and the destruction Of
the plant caused such an extreme

could be done against the German Cen

Russia, kuite crippled, had 10 fight

France and Great Britain was checked.

Paris. Sept. 15.-Despite their re-
verses in Galicia, the Austrians have
sent reinfOrcements against Italy and

10 British criticisms of German airship
raids over London. He states that Lon

Scott, the newly appointed defender o.
the city from aerial attacks, should
order the civil population OF London to
depart
The count asserts It is not Germany's
responsibility that the fortress of Lon
don, attacked many times, has not been
evacuated, and states that the failure
of the British government to order the
people to abandon it shows "disdain-
ful disregard of the principles OF hu-
mainly, civilization and international
law"

showed in its refinement
This model was soon 1000 cars oversold We
shipped 1000 cars by express. 1t became at once
the largest-seng car in the world, with price
above $780,
That changed the whole trend in motor car de-

We are building here now, under ideal condi-

greatest value ever known in a class car.

Remember It's History

Two seasons ago this new-type Hudson came out
at $i750. Its announcement startled Motordom.
Its price was pronounced impossible in high
grade Six Its lightness-under 5000 pounds
was scoffed at as incompatible with strength.
But the car was Hudson, and Hudson stand
ards are high. Howard E Coffin was its designer,
and he stands foremost in his field He and his
whole corps had spent two years in testing and
perfecting it, And men we're waiting for a class
car which would cut down operative cost.
So our first months output was sold before any
one saw the car. When the car appeared, men
hocked by thousands to it. And for one whole
year thereafter Hudson buyers waited weeks for
cars.

for hours, then rubbed. This is done with every
coat-an exclusive Hudson process.
The result is a body that stays new. The finish

Why This New-Day Type1

This Hudson was the pioneer of an entirely new
type of car The type was conceived four years
ago by Howard E. Coffin, our famous chief de-
signer. lttook him two years aided by our whole
force, to work out his conception.
The idea was refnement-the elimination of
crudity-to result in light, staunch car. The
first step was a.new-type motor, small bore, high
speed. BY reducing piston shocks that made it
possible to Tighten hundred engine parts.
The next step aluminium in place of cast
iron. The next was special steels. In the next
a thousand parts we're re-desgned to combine
lghtness with strength.
The final result was 7-passenger. Six weighing
under 5000 pounds. Old-time Skies averaged
4sO0 pounds. That diference-the weight of Il
adults-cut tire and fuel cost in two.
Evening journal., 1915-06-16
The Vogue of Simplicity

Howard E. Coffin saw years ago that the trend
was toward simplicity. Now everybody knows it.
Excess and waste are unpopular. Good taste now
calls for satisfaction without show
Thus Hudson has become the class car. Its
owners, in large part, are men who have paid two
and three times its price. Hudson typihes the
ideals of the times. This fact is conspicuous,
wherever you look about.
All questions regarding this new-type car have
been answered on the road. There are $4,000 Hud-
sons of this type in use. In two years men have
driven them many million miles. And every
owner vouches that the is staunch, enduring,
faultless as we'll as economical.
Hudson now embodies all that any man can want
1t is the fine car of the modern type Only those
men who still take pride in some form of excess
will find any car more appealing.
Evening journal., 1915-06-16
Like No Other Car

Bear in mind that Hudson is like no other car.
There are many models of this type, but there are
scores of ways-important ways-in which Hud-
son is unlike them. Let us point them out. This
isa Howard E. Coffin creation, a finished product,
unique and unapproached
