this would put an entirely new angle

Yet this is just the sort Of condt-

frOnted with. He wants to sell new
cars only. but for the convenience OF
his customers he is forced to handle
secondhand cars as we'll The average
automobile dealer does not figure on
making any profit on his secondhand
sales-if he breaks even on his second

For this and other reasons the buy

best place to buy second hand cars is
from an established and reliable dealer
in new cars. There is no guess work

vided, so that auto tourists can make
the last leg Of their western journey
over the Borderland route. To go from
Albuquerque TO FL PasO and thence
westward 10 san Diego through luc-

dicated that upon it the answer to
Germany might be foreshadowed.
The opinion is pretty generally
held here that the United States
knows. directly or with satisfactory
indrection, that Germany had no in
tenton of destroying United States
vessels in her war zones by torpedocS
OF any other means of destruction.
The conviction is uppermost in the
minds of most officials that the pur-
pose of Germany was to force Great
Britain to cease the misuse of neutral
flags as a means of escape from the
German navy.
Because of this conviction it is
thought that the questions between
Great Britain and the United States
and between Germany and the Unit
ed States will remain in the domain
of diplomacy for an indefinite period.
Officials say very frankly, however,
that crisis might be precipitated by
the blowing up of an American mer-
chairman and the loss of American
lives by mine. But even should such
momentous catastrophe occur, it
