Look Beneath the Surface

Statements Ike this should make the prospective
motor-car purchaser look beneath the surface of
claims of all mOtor-car manufacturers nowadays.
The prospective purchaser can't tell by looking
at "a finished car what is in the chassis If he is a
man of mechanical knowledge he can tell something
by close examination Of the chassis
But even then he can't find such differences
as this motor manufacturer found in Our motor.
But those who see Chalmers Cars in the making
see these differences.
That's why we proudly call attention to the fact
that we have never lost single sale to prospec-
tive purchaser who made trip through the Chalmers
factory.

Not a Made-Over Car

Thus you that it is not rnade-over car to

car that originally sold at Sl925.
Think Of it!-thi8 car at S155O-S375 cheaper
than its first selling price and then people wondered
how we could make it at less than $1,000.
Why, great motor manufacturer once said to
us: "It is the finest motor in material and workman

out better motor, even for higher-prCed cars. No

How We Are Able To Cut

This fact and quantity production have enabled
to produce this at the 1916 price.
We are building 10000 cars this season. That
is nearly four times many as ever before We are
putting up new buildings we are installing new labor
saving and coSt-reducing machinery.
With bigger organization, increased capital and
plans, we have cut down administrative
expense in its ratio to each car made.
After several years work we equipped to
make quality cars at quantity prices
This car gets all the advantages Of this general
saving
In addition we had no new tools to make on this
model no new tool fixtures to make, no new machine
tooS-so we ar5able to give the present buyers the
benefit of these special savings also.

Cut from S1925

Inns car was placed on the market two years ago
at Sl925. Thousands were sold at that price. Then
the was reduced to Sl725 and we sold thousands
more at this figure.
Most of these cars went to New York, Philadel-
phja Boston and Chicago where the list of Chalmers
Skis owners reads like the Blue Book
They were not bought merely by those who felt
that SIPS was all they could afford to pay for an
automobile but by people who could afford any car.
Over a thousand Sx-48's are operating in the
New York City district alone, yet one man at the
Chalmers New York branch attends to all repairs
adjustments that have ever been necessary.

BRITISH TRENCHES
ARE RECAPTURED
FROM GERMANS
Paris Official Statement Con-
firms TeutOnS' Claim of Ad-
vanCeS Near st. EIoi-No
Infantry Actions Reported.

PARIS, Feb. 16.-The recapture Of
in Flanders is announced in an official
communique issued here this after
noon. The statement that the Brit
ish troops had regained their lost
ground was the first official confrma-
ton given here of the claim made in
Berlin yesterday. that the Germans
had won a success near st. ElOi.
The text of the communique fol-
lows:
1.-The British troops recaptured yes
terday the two trenches which they
had lost the night before between st.
Eloi and the Ypres canal.
"On the battle front of the French
armies the day of Feb. 10 was gen.
orally calm. No infantry actions were
reported. Our artillery won success
and particularly important"
Concentrate Against British.
Again are the Germans concentrat-
ing their pressure against the British
on the northern end of the allies bat
tie line and it is officially claimed by
the kaiser's government that the in
vaders have made q material gain on
the Ypres-Menin road in West Flan-
ders. According to the German war
office the English have lost some
trenches near St Eloi. which is two
and a half miles south of YpreS. If
this claim is true. it means that the
British. holding the front south of
Ypres. have been compelled TO fall
back about seven miles All official
information which has come from the
French and British war offices has in
dicated that the allies front in West
Flanders was east of Wytscheate,
Zillebeke and Gheluvelt. The British
have held YpreS for months, although
the town has been within range Of the
heavy German mOrtars which bomb
arded it from time TO time
IL has been customary for the Ger
mans in Belgium TO lombard the
Belgian, French and British trenches
every day. If the cannOnade were
unusually heavy the allies might know
it would be followed by an infantry
attack. Otherwise the Germans were
content to take tr1 chances of killing
few of the enemy with their desult-
ory fire.
Near Bethune, LaBassee. Arras. and
in the Aisne valley the French artillery
has been engaged in the throwing Of
heavy lyddite shells against the Ger
man field works, some of which were
made untenable by the artillery fire
North of Nerdun fighting for posses
sion Of trenches is again in progress.
South Of the MueSe in the WOevre
district In the Vosges and i'm Alsace-
Lorraine, hard fighting is in progress
in the mountain valleys which are
deep with snow. The Germans have
been carrying on an intermittent big
gun fire against the cities held by the
French, damaging them heavily

House Democratic Caucus De-
CideS to Support Measure by
Vote of 154 to 29 After an
AII-Night Session.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Speaker
Champ Clark came to the aid of the
administration ship purchase bill in
the house democratic caucus and
rallied the wavering members with the
result that the caucus early today,
after an all-night discussion adopted
the measure by a vote of 154 To %. 1t
was announced that Il democrats,
among them Majority Leader-elect
Kitchin and Rep. Fitzgerald of New
York, will not vote for the bill when
it is taken up in the house and put
through under the special rule limit
ing debate to six hours. The vote was
taken at 2:3O o'clock this morning and
the caucus then adjourned.
Speaker Clark brought many waver-
ing members back into line with this
word of warning:
You have wandered in the wilder
ness for 16 years and you will wander
there again unless you follow the
leadership of your party
The speaker pointed out that while
he is opposed to the theory of govern
ment ownership. the ship bill was an
emergency measure and the house
passage because the senate probably
would filibuster against it until
doom's day"
First Vote Shows Effect.
The first vote. which showed the
effect of the speakers advice. was
taken shortly before / o'clock when a
suggestion by Rep. Page of North
Carolina that the ships acquired under
the act be excluded from the merchant
trade two years after the European
war has ended. was defeated lis to
3S.
Rep. Fitzgerald Joined Rep. Page in
opposing the bill. He announced he
could not be bound by caucus action
because of his views against govern
ment ownership in any form.
Rep. Hefiin of Alabama helped the
fight when he announced he had in
formation that Pres't Wilson had de-
cided TO abandon the extra session
idea.
Senate leaders today planned to
mark time" by discussing the pro-
posals for general and special cloture
OF the bill. They proposed to keep
away from discussion Of the shipping
bill until the house shall have passed
the substitute for the Weeks naval
mail line measure. Then there will
be something doing" 1t was stated.

bilities and scheme Of putting them
into use. A report from this COM
mlttee is expected in "A few days.
Speaking OF the project Director
Barnes held il quite feasible. If South
Bend land is as valuable as that in
other cities, and it is believed TO be.
II is safe To say that perhaps a mil
lion dollars worth of garden truck
could be raised in the city. This is
based on an estimate that an expert
made in Kansas City. lie figured that
an acre of ground in that city was
capable Of raising $4,000 worth OF
truck. Should this estimate hold IN
South Bend IL can be easily figured
how much gard truck could be
raised IN this city on 500 acres.
Should the estimate in South Bend go
below that o. Kansas City, still the
value of the truck that could be
raised here would be large.
Success in Detroit.
Several years ago the scheme was
tried in Detroit and proved success
full TO a remarkable degree. ThOus-
ands of men were given work while
the product they raised was all their
own at the end of the season. Direc-
tor Barnes scheme would be TO put it
all under scientific management.
With an expert head TO whom all
could go for advice it is believed that
wonderful results could be obtained in
the city. Director Barnes plan would
further include the regular publica-
ton of lessons on gardening for the
benefit of the men working the lots.
The scheme was also tried in Phil
adelphia and proved a success If
real estate men Will join in the move
and give over their lots in South Bend
it is held that it would be equally
successful here.

1t is reported that the craft will be
used to drop bombs upon British
ships that escape from the submarine
Gordon to be established in English
waters.
The Lokal Anzeiger states that Ger

German mine layers are hidden in ac-
cessible reach of the British coast
and are ready to move as soon as the
blockade is begun.
That England will attempt to en-
brOil Germany and neutral nations is
the hint made in an official statement
issued by the German press bureau
today. 1t follows:

circles that it viii aid England's in

1t states that these two towns were
taken after a short fight which re-
suited in the capture of about 1000

Are Made by Holland, Italy,

WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.-The
full text of Great Britain's reply
to the United States Of Dec. 26,
protesting against interference
with United States shipping at sea
was taken up by Pres't Wilson
personally today. 1t required
several days TO translate the doe
ument from the diplomatic code,
the reply being Of such length
that it would fill about six col
umns of a newspaper. The docu-
ment was taken TO the white
house by Sec'y Bryan. The text
Will probably be given out SIM
ultaneously in London and Wash
ingtOn as negotiations toward
that end are in progress now.
WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON,
Feb. 16.-The new doctrine soon to
be promulgated by Great Britain
foodstuffs absolute contra
band is expected to be opposed by the
United States. There was evidence
today that the state department will
dispute any pronouncement which
entirely conditional con-
traband from neutral ships in time of
war.
The representations made 10 Eng
land in the Wilhelmina case Will
bring this issue to a focus. 1t is un-
derStOod in Washington that England
will cache the cargo of the Wilhel-
nina on account of the German war
zone declaration, and Will at the same
time issue a statement of her policy
practically instituting a blockade OF
the entire German coast.
1t is now evident that Great Britain
intends TO keep all American food
stuffs out of Germany, and the
American government is preparing to
question the British right to keep
such importations from the civilian
of the German empire.
Jockey for Positions.
Great Britain and Germany are
jockeying for a strategic position in
the diplomatic game that is TO follow
Germany has offered to withdraw her
war zone declaration if England will
allow the Wilhelmina TO reach a Ger
man port. Great Britain contends
that the Wilhelmina's cargo has been
made absolute contraband by the de-
cree of the German government COM
all fOOdstuffs. Germany
in reply has offered rigid guarantee
that all imported fOodstuffs will go
solely to non-combatants. Great
Britain replies that even if this were
true, IL merely releases other food
stuffs for the use of troops at the
front, and therefore may rightly be
called absolute contraband.
Developments in the case will not
come until the prize court makes a
decision in regard to the Wilhelmina's s
cargo. When that is done the Amer
lean position will be made known.

May Turn Vacant Lots Into
Gardens To Employ and Feed
The Unemployed of City

That South Bend may be Garden
City before another summer rolls past
is not an idle prediction. Agitation to
make il such is already under way.
In view Of the many hundreds OF
men that are out Of employment in
the city and the probability that they
Will be for several months TO come.
the plan has been suggested OF giving
these men profitable employment by
making gardeners out Of them. To
do this would require the assistance
of the real estate men of the city.
For il is estimated that there are
enough vacant lots in the city to give
all the unemployed work on them
during the spring and summer and at
the end enough products would ac-
crue TO provide these men and their
families with food for the following
winter.
II the real estate men will turn
over their lots to the men To let them
turn them into gardens it is held a
big step will be taken toward solving
at least if not the whole problem of
unemployed.
Mayor Keller says there are hum
dreds of lots about the city lying idle
that are capable OF making excellent
gardens. A rough, approximate esti-
mate Of the amount of idle land
around the city was placed at 500
acres by the mayor This is distrib-
uted in various parts. The largest
part Of il is believed 10 be in the
southwestern and northern sections
of the city.

SIX NATIONS PROTEST
AGAINST WAR ZONE ORDER

BERLIN (Nia AmSterdam), Feb.
16.-Germany's expectation that neu-
trail countries would protest against
the proclamation of war zone
around the British isles and along the
French coast has been amply full
filled. This far six countries. the
United States Holland, Italy, Greece,
Norway and Denmark have made
representations through their ENJOYS
here TO the foreign office. The pro-
tests are cOuched in friendly terms
and are TO be answered in the same
manner. A preliminary reply has al
ready been sent to the United States
Italy and Holland, it was said at the
foreign office today. and Denmark
Greece, and Norway will be answered
Immediately. Sweden has thus far
taken no action.
The replies made by the German
government place full responsibility
for the situation upon England point
ing out that the action Of that coun-
try in cutting off the food supply Of
German civilians has forced Germany
TO adopt retaliatory measures.
Assurances are given that Ger
manys naval forces Will do everything
in their power to avoid iniuring
neutral ships, but il is asserted that
England's policy of having it's vessels
flying the flags Of neutral countries
endangerS the ships Of those nations
Will Remain Firm.
The German statement is full ex-
position of the admiralty's attitude
and its desire TO maintain the friendly
international relations now existing
between the empire and the neutral
countries. but IL is also a firm avowal
that this government will remain firm
i'm its policy of eNterminating Eng
lands merchant vessels as long as
England maintains its policy 10
