day morning every monster factory
would mingle its black smoke with
the crimson tlanket of Old Sol as he
uncovers himself beyond the Cana

The production of cars in Detroit

mems. not altogether beautiful in the

there. Not IL brother has gone who

could fill his bench in the factory or

Mr.. Chalmers and all of his former
executives, under the terms of the
Maxwell lease of the Chalmers prop

as much so as though they never had
been, and | knew none of them would
whisper even a rumor into the mys-

Maxwell company | found MIR. Flan-

smoking big cigar, with soft hat on
one side. He looked the picture of
health, not a nerve in his body and
as strong as an OK. He was writing
with a regular old fashioned pen, and
/ have never seen a man write so
fast or show less regard for the high
cost of white paper. j know he sell
dom uses a stenographer, but still he
does everything important In black
and white.
He looked up and grunted express

in his eye. 1 knew he was not in as
bad humor as he pretended to be,
so l sat down without being asked
What do you want?' he said, still
trying to be mad. l knew, but l
| hated to tell him so quick. like that.
"I want to know" I said, Just
what a whole lot of other people
want to know-what are you going
to do with the Chalmers plant?"
Build regular Chalmers automo-
biles and a lot of them was the
short, sweet reply.
l felt inwardly he was Just as
pleased to have the plant as the dis
tributors had talked to at the Chal-
mers works were to have him on the
/ lob. Finally he opened up, some
| thing he seldom does, and told me
| in a nutshell, just what he has ur
! his sleeve. And the funny thing
about the whole business is that ne
hasn't anything up his sleeve except
! the same old thing-a lot of hard
work and the production of about
10000 automobiles of the present
| Chalmers models.
There's isn't much of sensa.
tional story for you here" he said
I'VE just saw this excellent plant go
ing begging. you might say, and we
took it in. All the talk about oul
buying more plants is rot. If we
can't make good automobiles in thi:
plant, then we can't make them any

make money for Mr.. Chalmers and
the other stockholders.
That's all there is to it. 1t looks
to me as though the Chalmers stock
holders got a good deal after all.
It's a fine factory and we can
make 1t work. In the Chalmers or
ganization there are some of the
finest distributors and dealers in the
business. and | want to say right now
to those who may be interested that
we are going to keep all of the good

ner In which Maxwell dealers stick to
us Is pretty good evidence of the
fact that we will be able to hold the
Chalmers dealers organization.
Il haven't been over to the Chal-
mers factory since Mr.. Toner took
charge, but he tells me he never met
a more enthusiastic lot of men in his
life than the men who have volun-
tarily expressed their faith in the
Maxwell company and made a special
trip to see us during the past few
days.
There have been rumors that
we are going to drop the Chalmers
cars and build trucks in the Chal-

trucks, but long before we get trucks

OF ENGINEERS
IS NEAR WAR STRENGTH
Seventh Has Recruited Up to
Within 145 of the
Number Needed ~

Quietly, but surely, the Seventh regl-
ment OF engineers has been recrultlns
to war strength until 1t Is now within
145 men of being fully recruited and
men are now coming in at the rate OF
40 per day Saturday night the reg'-
ment had l,02O actually in camp in At
lanta, two-th!rds of which are southern
men.
1t was the policy of the war depart.
ment to have each regiment recrulted
as nearly as possible from the terri
tory which it represented. The Sew
enth was peculiarly situated In that the
southeastern states were assigned 10 IT,
and the large majority of railroad track
men in this section are colored men.
1t was the desire of the authorities TO
have the Seventh a white regiment
completely. and this therefore eliminat-
ed some of the best experienced track
men in the south.
There are 81 out of the 81 commits
stoned officers in the regiment from the
south, and the entire personnel of off,
GERS would have been from the south
had it been possible to get them. When
the regiment will leave Atlanta Is not
known.
Six tailors, two cobblers and ten
buglers are wanted at once. The tall
ors and cobblers will rank as privates,
getting $50 per month pay. They will,
however, be paid for outside work at
price liked by the post exchange. Army
experience has shown that the cobblers
and tailors practically double their sal

quarters are on the fifth floor of the
Chamber of Commerce building.

iC," Gen, Jan SHUTS, Boer
Leader, Says

LONDON, July 4.-One hundred and
forty-one years ago today the Ameri-
can colonies severed relations with
Great Britain and declared their. indie
peadcnce.
Almost 125 years later a man arose
in South Africa who tossed his de-
fiance in the face of Britain.
Now this man. the George Washing
ton of South Africa, General Jan SHUTS,
and the United States are fghting side
by side with England for the independ-
ence of the world.
General SHUTS, soldier-statesman,
idol of Britain, sends his independence
day greeting to America in the words
of democratic understanding addressed
TO republican Russia.
The sentiment shows a true democrat
ic vision, far removed from the old
world ideals which have tempered Eu-
ropes yelled policies Of peace after the
war.
IF America had not come in" he
said. peace would have been an old
world arrangement. But America has
come In and we have the assurance
that the peace will. be world peace,

cies of the world.
The world can no longer be half
free and half despotic. There is no
room on earth for a desDot If de-
mocracy is to be safe in the world it
must possess the world"
That is the appeal of the greatest
democrat of Great Britain to America,
preparing on independence day to pour

caust of Europe for the freedom of the
