r1en from Verdun to the Somme front
three weeks ago to meet the new An
Cio-French offensive. This had an
immediate effect on the morale of the
remaining men. In February they had
been told they were to capture Verdun.
At the end of July they were told it
wculd be sufficient to simply domin-
ate the situation. When they had
been reduced in numbers to merely a
defensive garrison, after nearly seven
months of fighting the morale was so
shattered that groups of prisoners

MAXWELL MAKES
GOOD SHOWING

Competing with field Of twenty
odd cars, representing in nearly every
instance one Of the most popular ma
chimes on the market today, each one
of which was considerably higher
'priced and possessing much greater
horsepower, the Maxwell entry in the
third annual socialibility tour of the
San Francisco bay district distin-
guished itself in manner which easily
made it the most conspicuous partici-
pant in the event.
Routed over the most scenic sec
tinn of California, the very heart Of
the Sierras, where road conditions Of
every description are encountered, the
course Of the tourists this year was
ty way of Sacramento, Auburn, Tahoe
tavern, Tallac, Myers, Woodfords,
Minden and Gardnerville, Nevada,
Bridgeport, Mono Lake and the Tioga
Pass, which diagonally bisects Yose-
mite National park.
Ordinarily the roads which tap the
iafove mentioned regions would be
good and fair, but owing to extensive
development work in these mountain
passes Of central California, the roads
have been rendered almost impossible
~ heavy trucking and teaming during
the past spring and summer. So bad
were the roads found to be in many
places, that several of the drivers Of
the biggest cars declared they would
rot have entered the run had they
known the true conditions.
Approximately 800 miles were COW
el ed by the motorists that took part
+ in the tour The Maxwell car, driven
by B. G. McKissick, was the smallest
n achine in line. The tour lasted four
days, the Maxwell being the last to
check out Of the various controls each
day, but the car was never the last to
come into a control at night.
During the entire four days heavy
grind, barring delays caused by three
punctures, no stops were made on ac-
count of mechanical or engine trou-
hle. While the grades in some places
were such as to make the passengers
Of the cars gasp, and the road condi-
tons over these inclines the very worst
that one can possibly imagine, the
Maxwell took every one of them with
cut whimper.
The principal object of the tour was
"a encourage motoring through the
scenic sections of the Sierras and to
make the glories of the latter more
widely known. The run also embrace
: I'd many social features.

Celebrate Admission.

Santa Rosa, Sept. "a thousand
Native Sons and Daughters from
more than 70 parlors celebrated the
s.xty-sixth birthday of California to-
day. From point of attendance and eX-
oellence of program this was the
greatest Admission day celebration in
r'any years.
With the streets ablaze in special
Illumination and gorgeously decorated,
the reception began last night, when
the arriving hosts were escorted in a
torchlight parade. Dozens of military
and fraternal organizations and rep
rcsentatives of 70 parlors were pres
cnt with dozen bands and scores Of
drum corps. There were many floats
depicting California history back to
the days of Father Junipero Sierra
and including the raising of the Bear
flag. These the marchers greeted
with wild cheers, joined by spectators
lining the route of the procession.

pressure they are exerting on all sides,
J would hesitate to say that an Of
fensive by them is impossible. The
biggest mistake general can make is
tc underestimate the enemy. But could
such an offensive develop before us,
we would beat it. This am almost
