THE WAR At A GLANCE

Germany has started sudden Of

fensiye whose first clash with the
French defenders has been marked
By desperate hand-to-hand fighting
ON the bloody slopes Of Hill 8O4 and
Dead Mans hill, Of ghastly memory.
Both Berlin and Psris statements
agreed ON the fighting In this neigh
b0rh0od. But Berlin claimed gem
eral occupation Of French trenches
scsoss q front Of more than mile
and dignified the advance ss part Of
an assault In force b ymeutioning the
generals IN command OF the attack
ers, and H.ting several regiments as
participating. The French statement,
however. while recording that the It
tack came from four points, stated
that only 'small enemy parties pcne-
trated our advanced trenches"
Tho Berlin report detailed the cap

machine gums. The fact that the Ger
man statement added that infantry
forces wero .ehicientIy assisted by ar
tflicry pioneers and mine fhrowers,' .

STANDARD UPSET
Has Many Adj
vantages Over the Railroad
as a Conveyance; Traffic
by Motor Not Extravagant.

AS n means of transporting individ-
ualS, the steam railroad train, with its
big passenger capacity, It's level route
and tracks of steel, has, tn. casual oh
server will tell YOU, all the advantages
in its favor as a utility among modern
power-diiven conveyances. 1t renal ms
for the automobile. however, To upset
this old standard, and at the same time
to show the fallacy of any connection
between automobile travel and eXtrav
gance.
The thing that throws light on com
PARSONS Of true efficiency is tile e.,ies-
ton of weight Take, for instance the
average five passenger automobile; it
weighs about $500 pounds, without
passengers, or when loaded not over
$500 pounds. ON this basis. the autom-
bile is required to move 700 pounds per
passenger. load that the automobile en-
CINE must push up and down hill and
over the country. How moderate this
weight is beside hat Of other forms Of
conNeyances
On the other hand, our high class
Pullman trains carry Il weight per pas
seneer Of 10000 pounds. On local
trains. with day coaches, the burden
is, of course, Smaller-between one
and two tons per passenger seating ca
pacity. These figures necessarily in
clude the weight of the LOCOMOTIVES, ten
der baggage car, or. in other words,
the weight Of the entire train, just the
same as the automobile figures include
the weight Of the entire car
1t is evident that in both cases, the
weight per passenger requires power in
proportion to move il, and power means
fuel. In these days OF conservation,
when the saving of fuel is such an
important item, weight reduction, as
worked out in the automobile, is appar-
entity Il key To the solution that our
railroads will sometime have to con-

GRANT COMPANY MAKES
LOWEsT-PR|CED SKIES

Four years ago the Grant Six made
automobile history by being the first
six In the world to sell for less than Il
thousand dollars. Within the last four
months the Grant has had handed to it
the honor of being the lowest priced
six in the world and the question that
everybody is asking is whether
the makers of the Grant Six intend to
retain this unique position.
1T would have been easy to boost
our prices $50 or $75 and to have added
a great many thousands of dollars to
our profits" says George S. Waite, gen
eral sales manager of the Grant Motor
Car corporation, but in that case we
should have lost the prestige that
comes when hundreds of thousands of
people are shown that car is abso-
lutely unique.
while this has been a trying year
to most automobile manufacturers the
Grant Six has been singhlarly fortu-
nate. We had brand new factory and
we had bought material far ahead. For
several years we had been quietly ex-
tending our distribution in the farm

OF materials forced practically every
other manufacturer to raise car prices
and buy conservatively we were pro-

new HUP MOBILE
ON EXHIBITION
Comfort Car Placed on Sale
Throughout the Country;
Light Auto, Though Not a
Small One; Economical.

The Comfort Car. as it's makers des-
ignate the new Hupmobile series "R."
IN now on exhibition in 500 cities, hav-
ing been announced to the public for
the first time, November Is. It is a
light car. although BY no means a small
one. lts wheel base is liz inches.
but Its tonneau Is equally as large and
Its driving compartment is actually
longer than liz the preceding model.
The new car is distinctly a Hupmo-
bile, yet there is about it such a de-
gree of individuality that motor SITS
may not Immediately appreciate the
family resemblance. The windshield
has been slanted and a slightly slopinI
speed line from back Of rear seat to
top of radiator is Incorporated in the
body design. The color is "Hupmobile"
blue. somewhat lighter than in previous
models. The hood, tenders and rum
ming gear remain black as before. by
means of the perfected "floco" process
now il use In the Hupmobile factory,
an absolutely uniform finish of high
luster and extreme durability has been
attained.
The term Comfort car is derived
primarily from the unusual degree OF
riding and driving comfort produced by
improved cushions and seat construc-
ton. spring suspension and unusual
ease Of all control operations. But that
comfort in this case has also much
wider application is instantly appar-
ent. It is needless to emphasize the

economy Of operation and durability
are all comfort" qualities when viewed
from the standpoint of mental satisfac-
ton.
Economy in the new Hupmobilc has
been worked out along the lines APP
proved by A. G. Bedford Of the petro-
leum board at Washington, who sug-
gested in a late bulletin u 20 per cent
reduction in the consumption Of gaso-
line as not only a desirable, but a nee
essary mark for all automobile makers
to aim at during the coming year. Pre-
heating of air before ii reaches the car
turetor. heating to insure perfect gasi-
fication between the carburetor and
cylinders, adjustments To obtain the
leanest possible mixture and the as
surance of a fat, hot spark at ordinary
driving speeds. are four Of the major
points emphasized by Mr.. Bedford.
These points have been amply and ade-
quately covered by the builders of the
series r." A stove for warming the
air before ii reaches the carburetor,
a completely heat jacketed intake
manifold. an adjustable carburetor, and
the latest generator ignition. are spe-
Cial features of the new Hupmoble.
These features. combined with the re-
d4ction ~. iQQs.R9an5s in the Weight Of
the car, give slightly more than "a

in the new model over previous mod

engine ever before has DONE 1t makes high power

1t makes gasoline work harder than gasoline ever

Anyone who knows anything about an engine
knows that the everlasting riddle has been to get the
gas in just exactly 1907 condition of vapor in the
combustion chamber before ignition.
The great Chalmers engine has accomplished this,
SO far any engine probably will be able to do,
by means Of two clever devices
One hot spot feature which heats and breaks
up the gas after leaves the carburetor and before
gets to the intake manifold The other is the ram S.
