bury followers in New Castle and
Sussex counties are planning a combi-
nation for the nomination of Mr..
Lynch for Senator and a distribu-
ton of some of the more important of
fees between the two counties.
Just how the followers of Thomas

OIdSmObile Production
viii Double Next Year

The production of Oldsmobiles, al
ready well beyond the 10000 mark per
annum is to be raised to 10000 cars
next year.
This decision was arrived at by fact
ory officials, after a thorough analysis
of business conditions throughout the
United States.
The Olds Motor Works has been a
quantity producer of automobiles com
paratively short time. For the ma
ior portion of its career it manufact-
ured only the most expensive cars, and
in limited numbers.
In 1915, however it began to pro
duce light ear, the success of which
was instantaneous. Since then it has
developed two imprived models, four
and an eight, with rapidly increased
production.
The basis of recent Olds success is
held to be founded on the incorporation
in a light car of the features of lux
ury and refinement formerly identi-
fled with the heavy Olds product.
In the opinion of heads of the concern
the appeal Of this class of car is CON
stantly increasing. To quote Jay V,
Hall, associate executive of the Olds,
"'With millions of automobiles in use
it is only natural that there should eX-
list large class of buyers who are ex-
tremely well versed in the detail of
motor car construction and niceties Of
finish and performance
''In the selecting of ear, it is no
longer the discriminating few, but the
discriminating many who judge.
at is for this class of buyers that
the Oldsmobile has been especially de-
signed Our product offers a smooth
ness and flexibility in action, and a re-
finement in detail and appointment
that is extremely gratifying to tthe mo-
tor Connoisseur.
colds production plans for next year
are guaged ON the sound assumption
that care in the selection of a car will
increase rather than diminish as time
goes by. Our present data is to the eff
feet that we shall move 10000 cars
without difficulty

the mastery of the sea is broken. This
is the German view resulting from the
victory of the fleet of Vice Admiral
Scheer, which has given the kaiser s
navy as brilliant tradition as has been
written on the pages of any naval pow
er
Flags were displayed everywhere to-
day in celebration of the clash with the
British high seas fleet and the German
success. Schools were dismissed, special
services of celebration and thanksgiv-
ing were called and German enthusiasm
was aroused as at no time since the
kaiser's army was drawing near Paris
early in the war
Although no official expression was
obtainable, it was evident that the sea
victory is regarded here as another step
toward a possible early peace. De-
feat of the British fleet the first time
it felt Germany's naval power; the
fact that German territory is free of
the enemy; that Belgium and northern
France are successfully held while the
French and British lines have remained
stationary for the past year, and the
crown prince is hammering at the gates
Of Verdun-these points were cited as
answers to the allied demands that Ger
