Washington, Oct. 23.-It is the ex'

Text Of Review in Part.
Secretary Bakers review for the
week ending October 20, in part fol-
lows:
"Our men in France, after three
months intensive training, are III
splendid physical condition and EN-
cient fighting trim.
"They have readily become accli-
mated and now feel at home In the
war zone.
"Our troops have met with the most

1.-THE week just closed has been one
Of relative quiet on all fronts.
Morale Aim Of German Coup.
1.-THE full importance of the battle
in Flanders is beginning to be re-
vealed. In order to appreciate the
real significance Of this engagement
and the effect 1t has had on the
morale of the German army and the
German people, we must consider
briefly the German attacks in the Riga
sector, including the capture of Oesel.
Dago and other minor islands Of the
Finnish gulf.

Kaiser Has Big Bill to Settle Before
. Peace 10 Declared.
Paris, Oct. 22.-At least $1,500,000,-
900 is one of the first items Germany
must settle when it comes to squaring
up accounts.
This is the approximate amount of
damage by German depredations in
Belgium, according to official statistics.
The Belgian statistics do not include
claims for the enormous loss resulting
from cessation Of Belgian industries.
Nor do they include damages for many
German acts in stopping factories re-
ported in the last four months.

the nature of "Reminiscences. In
Champagne the Germans delivered
somewhat heavy artillery attacks
against the French west of Mont Corn

ic allies in Macedonia.

gress. Heavy losses had been sus-

The buyers of Mitchells, in large
part, have been men schooled in mech
anics. Or men advised by competent
engineers. We publish a list of ia
nous engineers who selected this car
for themselves.
Our purpose now is to impress on
laymen the superlative Mitchell quail
tiles. This year we more than double
our output, so more men can be sup
piled. And we want more men to
learn why Mitchells have lately won
such multiplied prestige.
They offer you what no one else can
offer. One hours time will prove
that. The result will change your
whole conception of what a fine car
ought to give.

Here we build, under Bate efficiency methods, SO per
cent of this car. We build even our finest bodies. And
we build at a price which, in this class, no one else can
match.
The savings go into these extras. They pay for
unique attractions which every fine car needs. That
seems the best way to show you clearly the value of eff
ficiency methods.
MARK THE O~VER-STRENGTH
You will see the extra features-see the extra beauty.
But the chief Mitchell extras lie in the chassis. And we
want to impress their Importance.
Over 440 parts in the Mitchell cars are now built of
~toughened steel. Parts which get the major strains are
built of Characterization We pay for steel in Mitchells
up to Is cents per pound.
Parts on which safety depends-like steering parts
and axles-are also built oversize. Every gear is test
ed. And our standard for gear teeth is now $4,000 pounds
per tooth.
Let us mention one part which, in most cars, so often
gives out under shock. The Bate cantilever springs in
used in thousands of cars, not a single leaf has broken.
That's what this extra standard means throughout the
Mitchell chassis.
