Saxon "Siix" Has Fairly
Earned Top Place In
Its Price Class
Evidence Established by Performance
Cannot Be Denied-A Years Trial
Has Convinced Owners of It's Worth.

The past year has seen strenuous
rivalry in the price class of the Saxon
Six both 'FOurs' and "Sixes'
filled the field and before many of
each make were long in the owners
hands the air was filled with claims
and counterclaims.
The public at large found it difficult
to reach definite conclusions, and it
remained for time and trial to determ-
inc the class car from the merely
mediocre one.
In waiting, we believe they proved
their good judgment, for the stress and
trial of demonstration soon weeded out
the wheat from the chaff and it was
apparent that many cars would fail to
meet their advertised standards.
During this time those who gauged
values without prejudice found there
was one car that was assuming leader
ship, a car to which the evidence
awarded top place. Record after
record has fallen before the Saxon
ESix' In speed, in power, in hill
climbing, in acceleration and in econo-
my, it seemed to Outclass all others
in its fields. 1t has set a pace too hot
for all other ears. Beginning with the
New York motor show, a steady stream
of orders for Saxon "Sixes' has poured
in. When the month of January closed
record had been hung up-orders
for 1885 Saxon "Sixcs" having been
recorded. And this in the fayc of the
fact that the winter months generally
are dull months.
Still there was no let up. Every
month brought in the orders. buyers
who had doubted the early promise of
the Saxon ''Six" were capitulating to
the proof of it's performance and the
month of February closed with another
record established clear gain of 100
per cent over the month of February,
1915.
March, with shipment of close to
5000 ears, established another another
record and there is no sign of let up.
At the end off, year in owners
hands the supremacy of Saxon six y
seems unquestioned. 1t has met an
amazing welcome and is accepted as
the marvel of motor car progress.
Surely this is a growth of which to
be proud.

CHANCELLOR

If WE INSIST BREAK FOLLOWS
Possibility of Actual War Between
Two Countries Being Discussed
in Berlin.

Berlin, via London, April 20-The
American ambassador was called by
telephone to the imperial chancellor's
palace this morning. He went i'm
mediately and a conference with Dr.
Won Bethmann-Hollweg lasted an hour
and ten minutes When he came from
the conference, Ambassador Gerard
declined to give any information as to
the nature of the discussion and would
not answer questions as to whether
anyone else was present.
1t is understood that the German
reply to the American note will not be
delivered before the imperial chancel
lor has another opportunity of confer
ring with the Emperor.
DR. Won Bethmann-Hollweg devoted
the afternoon to conferences on sub
marine question with Admiral Won
Holtzendorff, chief of the admiralty
staff. Several of the higher diploma
tic officials participated
The outcome OF the present crisis de
pends cn what President Wilson and
the American government wants. The
general view Of the present situation
as cleaned from conversations with
persons close to official circles is
about as follows:
If President Wilson and the Ameri-
can government are arguing that earl
ier concessions by Germany have not
been adhered to, and insist that the
submarine campaign can be conducted
without deviation within the limits of
German assurances and pledges in for
mer notes, then settlement can
probably be arranged. despite what is
considered the sharp and unfriendly
tone of the American note The
pledges can probably be restated, if
need be and definitely reformulated
so that there can be no possibility OF
| error or question of responsibility.
If, however, the United States in
sists upon a further limitation OF the
submarine war against commerce
then there appears to be little chance
OF an agreement for a satisfactory set
tlement, and it is considered that q
| breach of diplomatic relations. if il
should come, would in all probability
be only a temporary status, and would
soon develop into an actual state OF
wa.
