MAXWELL CLUTCH
CONSTRUCTION.


Sudden taking hold of the clutch
OF an automobile, that frequent and
exasperating annoyance in the oper-
alton of the ordinary machine which
all but precipitates the passengers
from the car and works consider
able damage to the motor car in
general, is said to have been COM
pletely eliminated in the Maxwell
through a unique construction of the
Maxwell clutch.
Engineers and expert automobile
builders for many years have sought
a solution of this problem, the same
being the subject of painstaMng in
vestigation and experimentation. To
greater or lesser degree it is
said this damaging annoyance in
the driving of motor car has been
eliminated and it is stated that the
Maxwell Motor Company has been
eminently successful in completely
doing away with even the poss1bili-
ties of a sudden gripping clutch.
In order to obtain this desirable
feature in automobile construction,
the Maxwell clutch assembly hous-
ing has been so constructed that
the clutch is continually subjected
to an oil bath. When operating the
clutch, in making gear changes, the
clutch falls back into position IN
such a manner that the film of oil
which gathers on the clutch lining
is gradually, but rapidly squeezed
from the lining, the clutch at the
same time taking a firmer and firm
er hold. The operation is automatic,
but absolutely sure, and without jar
to the car.
The speed with which it is &C
complished depends largely upon the
speed at which the car is travelling
and the dexterity of the driver in
making gear changes.
1t is stated by the best posted
authorities that a rough operating
clutch does an unreasonable amount
of damage to car in short period
of time, producing quickly rear axle
trouble, motor trouble and finally
laying up the car. A smooth, evenly
operating clutch is, therefore, re-
garded as being highly essential to
long, useful life of an automobile,
hence, the Maxwell builders make
an especial point of this feature of
that machine.

M'EIHIETS WAR COST LESS
BLO0DSHED THAN WILSON'S PEACE
BY Theodore Roosevelt.

Under President Mckinley we
had a war with Spain. Under
President Wilson we are assured
that we have had peace" with
Mexico. These are the words.
Now for the deeds. During the
war with Spain fewer Americans
were killed by the Spaniards
than have been killed by Next
cans during the present peace"
with Mexico. Let me repeat
this. A greater number of Amer
leans have been killed by
Mexicans during these years,
when we are officially informed
that we have been at peace with
them, than were killed by the
Spaniards during our entire war
with Spain. Moreover when the
war with Spain was through, 1t
was through. But peace still con-
tinues to rage as furiously as
ever in Mexico. Nor is this
all. The instant effect of the
outcome of the war with Spain
was to put stop to the dread
full butchery and starvation In
Cuba and the Philippines, and
the entry of both Cuba and the
Philippines on a career of eight
cen years of peace and pros
perity such as they had never
known before in all their check
cred history. But during these
three years of Mr.. Wilson's
peace" the Mexicans them
selves have been butchered by
their own bandits steadily and
without intermission; and Next
can women and children have
died by thousands-prob&bly by
scores of thousands-of starva-
ton. and of the diseases incident
to starvation. In other words,
Mr.. McKinley's war cost less
peace; and it reflected high hon
or on the American people;
whereas Mr.. Wilson's peace
has been one of shame and dis
honor for the American people,
and one of ruin and bloodshed
for the Mexicans.

Italians Seize CarSO Line;
Take 6, 400 in Single Day
Wedge Is Driven Deep to Open Way to Trieste Along
Coastal Ralway-Assaults Rout Austrians
on Two Other Fronts.

Paris. Oct. 1.-The Italians have re-
opened the drive against Trieste
Smashing forward on the Carso Pls-
teau to-day they captured virtually
the whole Of the enemy's line between
the Wippach River and Hill POS and
swept on beyond. Selling Nova Villa
More than 5000 Austrians were taken
prisoner here and $500 is the days
total.
The Italians seek TO flank the Aus
trian positions east Of Gorilla and
cast Of Monfalcone. Between the
Gorizis-St. Daniel and the Monfalcone-
rieste railroads wedge is beir<
driven eastward. Further progress will
compel the Austrians to abandon the
lines north and south. which they have
held for months against furious as
raults
Once the Austrians fall back east Of
Monfalcone the way will be opened for
a drive against Trieste, along the
coastal railway.
For eight days the Italians heavy
guns battered at the enemy's de-
fences, preparatory TO the great as
sault. Before the infantry left the
trenches the Austrian Notifications
had been destroyed. The rush Of the
troops could not be withstoed. Every
objective was attained.
On two other fronts the Italians took
the offensive az the same time, winning
marked successes. A network Of en-
trenchments in the Cosmagnon sector
en- Mount Pasubio were seized, while
on the Julian front, between Tobar
and Vertoiba, the enemy's line was
broken. Fourteen hundred prisoners
were taken in these two operations.
The carrying Of the attack TO the
Julian Alps presages a general often

have entered on their last major opera
ton before winter sets in.
