ALSACE-LORRAINE ONLY
BAR TO PEACE, SAYS
KUEHLMAN.

Amsterdam. Oct. 10.-In adj
dressing the Reichstag, Foreign
Secretary Won Kuehlmann said,
according to Berlin dispatch,
that as far as he was able to view
the world situation, there was no
impeachment to peace. except for
the French demand for Alsace-
Lorraine.
The German chancellor, DR..
George Michaelsi, in speaking Of
peace, said, according to advices
reaching here today, that as long
as Germany's enemies demanded
any German soil, as long as they
tried to drive a wedge between
the German people and their en-
peror, peace was impossible.

cruel hand Of fate played against
him. The cards apparently were

to ache. No longer able to stand
up under such burden, this aged
man, assumed the inevitable route
to relieve his suffering. A pistol

over. Ordinarily, the death of

with q brain reacting under the

her to yield to them and in the
third evil hour Of her unhappy
life she quietly disappeared in
company with 4 young man.
The last chapter in her un-
eventful life was written last Sun

THE WAGES OF SIN.

The Good Book tells US that
Hthe wages Of sin is death.
There can be 20 doubt of the,
claim as laid down in the Hoy
Scriptures. but at times we are
able to observe OBJECT lessoas
that stand out so conspicuous-y as
to be almost visible.
Only this week IN the city CT
Baton Rouge the lite Ct a young
woman was sacrificed as direct
result of a sinful career. Her
soul went into eternity within the
twinkling Of an eye, not even the
opportunity Of a last prayer to
most merciful Supreme Ruler
being given her. The tragedies
interviewer in her life read like
the dark chapters in "The Scar

heed the advice Of venerable
father, whose active life OH the
bosom Of the deepswas given up SO
that he could spend the declining
years of his well-spent life near
the apple of his eye-an only
daughter. This father lavished
money on her, and her every wish
was gratifed. When she had at
tanned the teen age she was mar
ried to an eminent doctor of
Jacksonville, Florida, and two
children. boy and girl, blessed
the union. Soon thereafter the
domestic happiness took a turn
for the worse and in an evil hour
the woman sacrificed her most
sacred obligation. A separation
followed and the court allowed
the father the custody Of the two
children. The wife-in name only
-wended her way to an eastern
city and there lived the life Of
common law wife with young
man. Leaving the east and drift
ing down to Mobile, in order that
she might get a glimpse of her
two children, she finally decided
to live in New Orleans. The
mother love had not completely
been obliterated from her heart.
Death robbed her or rather her
first husband Of the little boy.
Even this did not deter her. and
she went en- and on in her way

For with four cylinders any motor nat
urally has far more vibration and fric-
ton than "Six."
And it is this vibration and friction
ceaselessly tearing at the motor and
parts that impairs Aexibility, slows up
acceleration, makes difference of de-
grees in the quietness of its operation,
increases repair-service costs, and final
ly takes nearly 500 from the standard
efficiency of the motor.
These being facts--and facts generally
known now-it is obviously not the
best of business judgment to purchase
any "four" priced between $500 and
$1,000 when Saxon "Sx" can Be pur-

Buy your Saxon Six" now and you
buy at the bottom of market that's
going up shortly.
Wait and you'll pay for it.
All motor cars must soon increase their
prices to cover the extraordinary rise in
cost of labor and materials. Many have
already done so.
$685. is probably the lowest price at
which Saxon 'Six" will be sold for a
long time.
Perhaps you are thinking of buying
car costing $500 or $500 more than
Saxon "Six."
If you are, then by all means see Saxon
"Six" first. And you'll save the 5000
or $500.
For we can prove to you-or you can
prove to yourself-tha there is no car
costing $500 or $500 more than Saxon
'Six" that will match it in 6ne-car quail
ity.
For instance. One of Saxon "Six's" i'm

Again, another of the important fea-
lures of Saxon "Six"-Timken axles-
is also found on seven cars selling for
more than 81, 700.
One more. Still another important
feature of Saxon "Six"-Spiral bevel
gears also found on IL cars selling
for more than 81, $50.
And there are z other of the big fea-
lures of Saxon "Six" such as Timken
bearings, Timken axles, Continental
motor, Stromberg carburetor, Remy ig-
milton, Feeders radiator, Spiral Bevel
gear, found on 80 cars selling for more
than ST. $50.
Now consider the matter of upkeep coss.
You will find the cost of running Saxon
''Six" quite visibly less than the cost Of
running car priced several hundred
dollars higher.
Its six-cylinder motor has been so re-
fined and developed, and vibration and
friction have been SO largely eliminated

Next Officers
Camp for Men
OF Draft Army

Washington, D. c., Sept 27.-A third
series of officers training camps will
be opened by the war department,
early in January. Candidates for com.
missions, Adjutant General Mccain
announced tonight, will be selected
from enlisted men of the regular army
or those called to the colOrs under
the selective draft law, no applications
from civilians being considered.
None of the training camp sites now
being utilized will be used for the
next series, it was said, although no
intimation of the location of the camp
has been given. 1t is probable that
following the system used in selecting
national army cantonments the ma
jority of the camps will be situated
in the south in order to escape the
rigors of a northern winter.
Afford Chance to Rise.
The camps will afford men of the
national army an opportunity to win
commissions and it is probable that
the drafted men will be heavily repre-
sented. Secretary Baker recently an
nounced that every chance would be
offered national army men to rise
from the ranks.
Establishment of the third series of
camps is part of general policy OF
the war department to continue the
making of officers by special training
in order to keep pace with the enlisted
strength of the service.

The Hague, Netherlands, Sept. q.
--(Corespondence of The Associated
Press s)-Gloomy pictures are being
drawn here of the agricultural out
look in Holland, as the result of the
sLoppage Of fodder exports from
America. The acuteness of the posi-
tion has been enhanced by poor hay
crop, and the small farmer in partic.
ular is faced with the greatest diff
culties.
According to the well-informed ag-
ricultural correspondent of the Nieuw
Van Der Dag, cattle,breeders are in
great distress and cattle are growing
lean in the meadows. Pig-fattening
has come to a standstill. 'If the sup
plies of fodder and fertilizers are stop
ped" he writes, cattle breeding and
agriculture will go to rack and ruin.
"If the world-market be closed to
us-and this is what happens If we
cannot export to Germany-agricul-
ture and market-gardening will re-
ceive their death-blow, and not only
farmers but the whole nation Will
suffer. The financial status of the
country population will decline. Many
of the small farmers have already
reached the limit of their financial
capacity, and are on the verge of alb
solute impoverishment. Matters have
come to such pass that the cattle
have to be sold at half their original
price. There goes the farmers work
ing capital, together with the profits.
