g -potuer of a locomotive

Like a giants strength in
a mans body, the high
speed, long stroke, valve
in-head motor with over
head camshaft gives the
Oh aim ers New Six an
abundance of vitality and
competency.
And because of the I'M
usual efficiency Of the trans
hitting mechanism, this
energy reaches the rear
wheels-Where it counts.
Result: The car has the
poaoer of a locomotive. 1t
climbs hills like a chamois.
1t gets away like a racer.
An entirely new type of
spring suspension makes
the Chalmers New Six ride
like a Pullman.
Come in and see it and
let US show you other sig
nally superior features
which this car possesses.

Henry L. Stinson

Immediate preparation for nation
al defense adequate to meet any even
tualitv was urged tonight by Henry L.
Stimson. Secretary Of War in the cab
met of President Taft, in an address
in Carnegie hall before the National
Security League.
The main danger of war today,
said the former secretary, lies in the
fact that we have so acted in the past
as to give good reason for believing
that we do not really mean to protect
our rights. The surest way to get
into a fight is to use strong language
and then stand with your hands in
your pockets Is there a man who
doubts that President Wilson's note to
Germany would receive more attention
if it were known that our navy was in
readiness and our free people, in the
language of Washington. disciplined
and trained to arms"
Mr.. Stimson opened his address by
calling attention to what he described
as the acute issue that has arisen be-
cause Of the destruction Of American
lives on the Lusitania.' He dis
claimed intention of saying anything
that might embarrass the government.
but declared that he considered it his
duty and the duty of every American
citizen to help create an intelligent
public opinion. Mr.. Stimson asserted
that the development Of the rights Of
the neutral has been the means Of
putting the brakes upon savagery."
and then continued in part as fol-
lows:
In the old world the rule that he
that is not for me is against me- was
universal and literal But gradually
for the modern world there have been
won great areas of neutrality into
which the clashes of belligerents are
not supposed to enter-buffers of civil
lization against the shocks of war.
To-day we are face to face with the
European war in which one of the
combatants has reverted to the thor
ough- going logic Of primitive warfare.
Finding force to be the ultimate factor
in war. she has declined to recognize
any inconvenient restrictions upon the
use of force which interfered with
her purposes or methods of warfare
The neutral rights of Belgian territory
lay between her and her goal and she
trod them under foot, unable to harm
the fortresses or battleships Of her
island enemy, she has not hesitated to
lombard unprotected towns and vii
lagos to torpedo unarmed merchant
vessels. 1t was inevitable that such
an attitude must sooner or later bring
Germany into antagonism with the
rights of every neutral nation dwelling
in or doing business in Europe and so
eventually the inevitable clash has
come without rights.
We were not concerned as a nation
IN the origin or causes of the war; we
are now vitality interested in its re-
suits. We cannot stand by and see
centuries Of progress swept into the
dustheap. without vital injury to our
national rights. From the Consolat

Hays Contention

When the court reassembled after
the luncheon recess. Mr.. Hay arose

peared on the stand. that they have
been taken to the office Of the super

there either the superintendent or his
aide has, told them. if they took a Ger

happen to them. it seems to me and

with the evidence of the witnesses who
are summoned by this court.

young men to be officers in volunteer
armies, and advocated the preparation
with all possible speed of supplies of
arms and munitions. He gave It as
his opinion that Congress should now
