 Yet I am sad to say that the feel ing among our American people is lax. They do not realize the depth, the ter ribleness of this war. Americas en- tering the war is the deciding factor, and on the United States is going to rest the brunt of it's burdens"
 General Pershing was cheered for several minutes when he appeared in the hall,. In response to the ovation, he said:
 These things bring the soldier to remember that the people back home arc behind him. You don't know what that means to a soldier. It will mean great deal to those of us who are in France"

 In his address, MT.

He then began a review of the war and the attitude of the American people to it. In part he said:
 "I yield to no man in my admiration for most of the qualities or all of the qualities of the German people except this obsession that they have been given through the insulting of that poison in the last fifty yeas. Where do you see the working out of the di- vine plan? That was a cancer iE the world. It has grown to be so formid- able that it needed a capital opera ton to excise it and restore the world

 MT Taft sounded the warning that America has not yet come to reali- zation of the dreadful dangers and the hardships it faced, and to this Gener- al Pershing, who will lead the first expeditionary force to France, added the grim statement that Upon Amer ica is to rest the brunt of the terrible burdens to come"

7he Sudeb0ker Car
 Economy $ c Factor

For this reason Studebaker cars are probably the greatest values on the automobile market today, dollar for dollar of their prices. The Studebaker FOUR is the only 40 Horse Power, Four Cylinder, Seven Passenger car selling for less than Sl ,0O0.
 The Studebaker SIX is the only 90 Horse Power Six Cylinder, Seven Passenger car selling for less than $l ,500.
 In ratio to power Studebaker cars are very economical in their consumption of gasoline. In ratio to weight and carrying capacity. they are very economical in Stakeholder owners frequently get from 5000 to 10000 miles on single set of tires.
 Studied accessibility reduces adjustment and repair costs to a minimum
 Studebaker's nationwide organization of thirty two direct branches and 6,50O dealers, assures your permanent service satisfaction. Therefore, economy being factor-if you want to buy wisely and well, it will pay you to in- vestigate Studebaker before you decide what car to buy.
Bisbee daily review., 1917-06-03

ECONOMY is simply wise buying. 1-& 1t does not mean unnecessary sacrifice. Ecenony is the very opposite of hoarding. For the very term economy" presupposes the purchase of necessities of conveniences, of those things that make for business and personal efficiency.
 Automobiles are necessities with many of us professional men find them well-nigh indispens- able
 Salesmen in various lines of business often find their efficiency greatly enhanced by the use of a motor car.
 To the family it means health, strength and added vigor-it means increased happiness. Anything that means all this is an economy. Therefore, the question is one of what auto mobile to buy.
 Studebaker is the largest producer of fine auto mobiles in the world.
 Studebaker's great resources, Studebaker's great volume enable Studebaker to produce better car at lower price.

countries now at war. It Is not at all strange that they do not realize them, bu they must be made to realize them and the obligation upon us is to see that condition is brought about as soon as possible.
 Certainly there is nothing that this people need more than a sense of sac rifice. This is not time to listen to the man who says, I am contributing so much here and so much there, taxes is high.
 Russia today has 5000 ambulances on a front of 1000 miles. In France there are 64,000 ambulances on front of 400 miles. We are going to going to allow conditions like that to exist and not respond to them prompt ly? I say no. We had when we start ed 22,000 members. We have today, I believe, in excess of 100000 mem bers. We should have in two months 20 900, 900 members"
 Robert c. Hoover stated that there was a total of 100000 people "un- able to get back on their feet" with out help. In France, he said, there was abundant outlet to all of the gen. erosity of the American nation. MT. Hoover was introduced as "the man of the hour" and received hearty well come.

American Federation Has Granted
Charter to PhiIadeIphians.
The city firemen of Philadelphia,
waiting in vain for some action on the
part Of council to alleviate the condi-
tons under which they are compelled
to work, have organized a labor union
and received their charter from the
American Federation of Labor.
The purpose of the organization Is
to better the working conditions Of the
firemen and to obtain higher wage
for the city's fire fighters. Their de-
mands are embodied in bill intro
duced in the legislature in 1915, known
as bill No. II. 1t provides for two
platoon system, ten hours for the day
shift and fourteen hours for the night
shift. This bill, however, only applies
to cities of the second class, and an eff
fort will be made, with the support OF
the labor unions, to make this bill APP
ply to Philadelphia.
The organization, which is open to
firemen, drivers. hosemen, captains
and lieutenants, will be known as City
Firemen's union, local 1910. Accord
ing to Organizer Richie, this union is
formed upon the same basis as the
postal employees They are not per
mitted to strike. Like organizations
exist in Pittsburgh, Chicago, New York
Washington and Cleveland
The organizer and the iremen who
are enrolled believe that the organiza-
ton soon will contain every fireman
