PROSPERITY HURTS ARMY.

Washington. ID. c., Dec. 9-Prosperous
times and high wages have made 1t
difficult to enlist men in the regular
army, Adit.Gen. McCain's annual re-
port, made yesterday, shows.
The offers of industrial concerns to
pay good wages turned men aside from
the recruiting stations, he pointed out
with the result that 25,450 men-or
10000 less than raised during the pre-
vious fiscal year-were recruited in the
past year.

MOTOR CAR

It is astonishing how quickly people get to
know about car and especially about the
who build 1T.
people are not buying Dodge Brothers
Motor Car simply because they want car
of some sort, or any sort.
They are buying it because they want the
precise and particular kind of car which
Dodge Brothers build
All over the country they seem to have
shrewd and accurate idea of exactly the
kind of manufacturers Dodge Brothers are.
They seem to know that Dodge Brothers
idea from the very first, that If they
built the car right-nothing else mattered
much.
People generally know all about the car
or nearly all-before they call on Dodge
Brothers dealer.
They know it either from their own exper-
ience or from what they have seen or been
told of other peoples experience.
They pick out the very points for which it
is noted everywhere-points which have
not been emphasized especially IN advertlS-
ing.
They know why they want the car-and
they are more eager for it to-day all over
the country than they have been at any
other period in its history.
The production has always been too small
to come anywhere satisfying the de-
mand.
1t is at this moment, and it probably will be
for years to come matter how much 1t
may be increased
This explanation is ridiculously simple.

 PEACE TERMS
President Farrell of the Steel Corporation
 Says America Is
 to Face Trouble.
U. S. PEACE WEAPONS

NE WYORK. Oct. 16. - The Ma tional Foreign Trades Council of which President Farrel of the Unit ed States Steel Corporation is chair man, urges the United States to pre- pare now for the commercial war to follow the strife in Europe, assert ing that the stimulation of export trade in goods required in times of peace must be Americas weapon against economic alliances which the European nations are forming for mutual assistance after the close of the war.
 The United States in 1913, the Hast normal year before the war sent 7761 per cent of its exports to the belligerent countries and got 72.S2 per cent of its imports from them. If the Allies of the Central Powers prefer each other by differ entlal tariffs, discrimination against United States products is bound to result. The State Department im- mediately should provide skilled re- sources for the study of our treaty relations with the foreign powers, many of our treaties being out Of tune with modern ideas.
 Our gold reserve should be safe guarded by the stimulation of ex- ports of merchandise required in times of peace to replace munitions and abnormal exports of other arti- cles.
