MAXWELL AUTOS LEAD
IN MEXICO CAMPAIGN
Cars Garry Troops Far South
In Mexico.--Maxwells
Stand The Test

Maxwell motor cars have
achieved the signal distinction
OF attaining the most southerly
point in Mexico of any automo-
biles engaged in the punitive ex-
petition in that country. Letters
from United States Army officers
have been received by the Buquor
Motor Company. Maxwell dis
tributors in Ell Paso, Texas,
testifying to the fact that the
sturdy Maxwells have pushed
fsrther south over the tortuous
Mexicrn trails than any other
make of car. These letters con-
tain words of praise for the
splendid service given by the
Maxwells under most discourage
ing conditions.
One of the American officers,
who drove a Maxwell car in the
movement to the south,
writes as follows from San An
tonic. Chihuahua:
"The car is standing up we'll.
It has been given tests to which
no other car with the expedition
has been subjected. We have
used the car on patrol duty and
the roads save the word are
unworthy of the name. Every
member of the staff who has
used this car is a Maxwell boost
er, for the car has done every
thing we have called for"
In addition to the service per-
formed by cars actually in the
lighting zone, the famous nom
stop Maxwell, the car that ran
$1,000 miles without single
stop Of the motor, hes proven an
efficient auxiliary to Uncle Sans

GOODRICH COMPANY IN
LETTER TO EMPLOYEES
Notice Issued to Those In State
Military and Naval Organ
izations
The B. F. Goodrich Co., has is.

IN orueT INSOFAR DIS pOSSlDle, &c
relieve from financial worry
those of our employees who are
subject to military duty and also
as an expression of desire on the
part of this Company to make
substantial recognition of this
opportunity to cooperate with its
employees in carrying out its
share of the common duty of all
to answer the national call for
military assistance, the policy of
this Company will be as follows:
This announcement applies to
all employees of this Company
formally enrolled as members in
good standing in any State Mill
tary or Naval Organization at
midnight Monday, June 10Th,
1916, and who are accepted by
the proper military officers for
active service in the present
Mexican crisis:
In case of orders being issued
by the military authorities re-
curing the services of employees
mentioned above for actual mill
tary duty, necessitating absence
from the regular duties of this
Company, compensation will be
awarded as follows:
After allowance being made
for payment for service by the
government, or state. or from
any other source, the direct
result of military service,
this Company will pay as mill
tary compensation the difference
between such sources of income
and the following:
To all married and single men
( ratributing regularly to the
support of actual dependents,
two thirds (2.3) of their average
salary or wage based on their
previous average salary or wage
earned during the three months
preceding their absence.
To all single or married men
not contributing regularly to the
support of actual dependents,
one-half 90 of their average
salary or wage.
Thus an employee with depend
ents whose average wage for
three months has been $500 per
month and who receives $500
per month from the government
will be granted military compen-
sation from this Company of
$51. &c per month.
Payment of military compensa-
ton will be paid direct to the
dependents designated, or upon
the request of men without de-
pendents, will be held in trust by
the Company until the return of
the employee.
The period of absence on mill
tary duty will not be considered
a breach in continuity of service
as affecting our Life Insurance
or Pension regulations, but such
time of absence will be included
in the Company service record
of each employe the same as if
he had not engaged in military
service. During such absence
of an employee, the Life Insurance
issued to him by this Company
will remain in full force and
effect.
Discrimination will not be
made in any manner against any
employee upon his return from
military service, and as far as
possible arrangements will be
made for each man to return to
his former position.
The above conditions will apply
to employees whose extent of
absences is one year or less,
continuously in state military or
naval service, but the privilege

SOCIALISTS SEE 7 WILSON IN LIGHT
 OF BEST CHOICE
Max Eastman, Well Known < Leader, Indicates His
 Party Belief.

New York. Oct. 14-The Socialist vote, usually anchored by party ethics to it's own candidate, is leaning strong ly to President Wilson. A great many prominent Socialists will either vote silently for the President or will re- nounce their party allegiance to do so.
 Max Eastman. one of their most widely known leaders, editor of '.The Masses,' favors so strongly the re- tention of President Wilson that to- day he gave the Woodrow Wilson fn- dependent league the following state ment: 70
 "I would rather see Woodrow Will son elected than Charles B. Hughes, because Wilson aggressively believes not only in keeping out of war but in organizing the nations of the world to prevent war. His official endorsement of the propaganda for International federation in the inter- est of peace is the most important step that any President of the Uni- ted States has taken towards ciyiliz- ing the world since Lincoln. His announcement that the best judgment of mankind accepts the principle of the eight-hour day is an- other proof that he has vision and sympathy with human progress.
 Hughes has given no such proof He has given proof to the contrary by his petty and indiscriminate scold- fne" ~
