Right in this town-and ali over the

of cars for years, who now drive and
swear by their Maxwells.
Each year they used to buy a diff

which would suit them exactly.

new low price of $695, was an

They found the Maxwell to be

They compared it with cars that
sell at double the Maxwel's price.
They found that the Maxwell con-

They tested the Maxwell on hills
and on the level on really tough
roads.
They made it prove its ability to run
at low cost over all sorts of roads.

To-day $4,000 enthusiastic people
are driving these Maxwells. Of these
a great big percentage owned other

Don't let them experiment at your

More Menacing

many Japanese advisers This pecu-
the japanese state, Lu Cneng- Hsiang
committed himself.
In article two Of group five, Japan
now requires the right to either rent
or lease lands. The Chinese express
themselves rs being far from satisfied
With this because this article which is
4 separate clause from that relating to
Buddhism would have the effect Of open
ing the entire country TO the Japanese
individually as well a. under religious
secretaries.
A~ticle three Of group five relating to
the police administration has been with
drawn. hui Japan now requires the APP
pointment Of police advisers and joint
Chiro-la1anese tribunals for land dis
oates in Nancauria.
The new requirement Of article four
Of this group is also based on a COM
nlllment. into which Lu Chang Hslane
is said 10 have allowed himself 10 be
drawn. namely, that China shall send
q delegation OF military men TO Japan
10 adopt procedure for the purchase
q arms and the conduct of China S
arsenals.
Tie new draft Of article five says
that China must grant to Japan the
right to build the railways demanded
subject to japanese reaching an ar
rangement with an unnamed power
Great Brittany she must grant Japan
these concessions unless il can be
shown that they have already been
granted to another power.
Articles Of group five as amended.
says that China must give Japan a
ledge that no foreign power shall re =
ceive a concession and that no foreign
capital snail be employed in the prov
ince Of Fukien without Japan's con-
sent
Regarding Buddhism, China must
recognize Japan's right to discuss this
al Z future date.
Mongolia Group
The four articles in the Mongolia
group provide:
First, no foreign loans may be Sc
cured by Mongolia taxes without Jap
ans consent: second, not railway con-
cessions can be granted without Jap
ans consent. third, the opening Of 4
number of treaty ports is required,
fourth, farming privileges TO last 4
ear.
Japan has already secured conces-
sions for the construction of four rail-
ways in Mongolia.

Board Co. give more optimistic out
look upon the situation and settlement
by arbitration is considered probable
within a few days. possibly hours. Up
TO noon the situation was unchanged
and although all appeared quiet there
was an ominous tension in the air that

around one of the cars showed the
temper of the strikers and what might
be expected. The arrival Tuesday Of

efforts during the afternoon, put an
entirely different complexion upon
matters and peaceful solution seem :.

Statement

Earl Kitchener War Secretary, at
the British discussion of the treatment
Of war prisoners said that as soldier
he hitherto had always held officers Of
the German army in respect, but con
slant testimony that has come in, not
only from our escaped prisoners, but
from French. Russian, Belgian and
American sources, has brought it home
to all who have sifted the evidence
that the inhumanity displayed by tn :
German authorities towards British
prisoners, especially is beyond doubt"
The secretary quoted articles from
the conventions adopted at The Hague
relating to the treatment Of prisoners
of war. and asserted that they had
been disregarded fagrantly by Ger
man officers. He added:

PARLIAMENT HOLDS
DISCUSSION OVER
WAY THE GERMANS
TREAT PRISONERS

London, April 27.-s P. M.-The
British Parliament occupied itself
solely today with discussions on the
treatment of British prisoners OF war
in Germany. In both the House OF
Lords and the House Of Commons.
gra titude was expressed for the eff
forts that have been made by the
United States to ameliorate the con-
ditions Of the prisoners.
Lord kitchener's speech in the
House Of Lords in which, as a SOL
der he said he lamented what he was
convinced was German inhumanity
toward British soldiers, was the most
notable expression of the day.

There were, however, equally strik-

Lord Lansdowne, leader Of the Oppo-
sition. and Lord Crowmer. who ex-
pressed regret in the House Of Lords

Hospitals Excepted

"a think it only fair and right to say
that the German hospitals should be
excepted in any charges of deliberate
inhur! anity.
Treatment of prisoners in the de-
tention camps in Germany varies con
siderahly, according to locality. Our
men in most cases suffered from the
want of food and have received differ.
ent treatment as compared with their
French and Russian comrades. And
many acts Of violence have been COM
planned Of. Lately, however, there does
appear to be slight improvement IN
some respects, due perhaps to visits of
inspection made from time to time
through the American ambassador.
Recently some Of our officers have
been subjected to solitary confinement
in retaliation for the supposed treat
nent Of Germans in this country. The
Hague convention does not admit Of
such confinement of prisoners Of war,
except as an indispensable measure Of
safety, and | hope before long to OBJ
tain some information as to the man.
ner in which these officers are now
being treated by Germany.
Germany has for many years posed
before the civilized world as a great
military nation. She has abundantIy
proved her military skill and courage.
But surely it was also for her to set
up a standard Of military honor and
conduct ~sa4leA would gain the respect,
if not the friendship Of nations. In
stead she has stopped TO acts which
will surely stain indslibly her military
history and which would vie with the
barbarous savasery Of the Dsr,ishes
Of Sudan"
