THE PRESIDENTS SIATHING
 INDICTMENT OF PRUSSlANISM

Tt is manifest that no part of this program can be successfully carried out unless the restitution of the status quo ante furnishes a firm and satisfactory basis for it. The object of this war is to deliver the free peoples of the world from the menace and the actual power of a vast military establishment controlled by an irresponsible government. which, having secretly planned to domi- nate the world. proceeded to car. " out the plan without regard either to the sacred obligations of treaty or the long established practices and long cherished prin- ciples of international action and honor; which chose it's own time for the war; delivered the blow fiercely and suddenly; stopped at no barrier either of law or mercy; swept the whole continent with the tide of blood not the blood of soldiers only but the the blood of innocent women and children also, and of the helpless poor and now stands baked but not defeated. the enemy of four flfths of theyworld. The power is not the German people. It is the ruthless master of the Ger man people. It is no business of ours how that great people came under it's control or submitted with temporary zest to the dom- ination of it's purpose. But it is our business to see to it that the history of the rest of the world is no longer left to it's handling"

pracice of doing business through the J. W. Leavitt company of Los Ange- les and San Francisco will hence forth be abandoned.
 Due to the vastly increased volume of business created in Arizona by the Berguson-Keeler company, r. l.. Elm erson, general sales manager for the Olds people, during his recent visit to Phoenix, determined to effect an arrangement with the factory, where by a better working system could be inaugurated. MT. Emerson, who was feted and banqueted by the leading automobile people of the Pacific coast when he was there recently, recog- nized the progressiveness and aggres- siveness of the Phoenix firm, and accordingly designated it as the rep resentative of his company in this state. The Ferguson -Keeler com pany is one of the 50 distributors working under this arrangement in the entire United States. The plan became effective on November l and has thus far worked out so complete ly to the satisfaction of all con- cerned that material benefit is al- ready being realized by both dealer and auto owner.
 It is believed that the increased popularity of the Oldsmobile is due
 to the merits of the Olds Eight, which is being featured at this time by the Ferguson-Keeler company The tremendous selling possibilities of this
 car is indicated in the fact that the local company now has seven car loads of Oldsmobiles en route from the factory in Lansing, to Phoenix. In addition to the generally inn ho furnished, MT. w. E. Ferguson, of
 the firm, says that factory technical man, who will devote his entire at tention to assisting the purchaser in overcoming car troubles, will be kept in the district by the Ods Motor company, and will have shis head
 quarters in Phoenix A'factory rep

Ferguson, .has proven the theory that high class automobiles are desired by the public, %y jumping from twenty first to ninth place among manufac- lureis III tHe NoluIne ol cars tutHeu out annually, during the last year, in the United States.

ally long they are about as nearly straight up and down as were possible to be capable of negotiation by any kind of motor drawn vehicle.
 Notwithstanding these disadvantages there is one auto truck which has dem onstrated it's ability to do more than is claimed for it, more than it's owner expected of it and more than a gaso- line propelled contrivance would ever be called upon to stand, except under the most extraordinary conditions.
 J. NJ. Hall hauls ore from Canyon to Glendale. He hauls lots of ore, and lots of it at one time. Thursday Of this week he hauled a bigger load than usual. and just to see how much his sturdy Republic truck had carted over the road of a thousand handicaps, he drove onto a set of scales at Glendale, capable of registering the weight or six tons, over all. The two ton" truck weighs about 400 pounds. The rest Of the weight was ore. The scales re- fused to register! There was more than the capacity of the scales in that load.
 Republic trucks are handled in Phoe- nix by Cal Messner, who is authority for the veracity of the above. He de- clares that the truck carried more than double the weight which it was intended should be placed upon it, and did so over roads that were as severe test on a motor truck as could be found any place in the country.

HARRY HUNTER |S
 HERE WITH MOTOR
 GAR 0F QUALITY

Harry Hunter. ot Los Angeles, is among us.
 With him is Lexington six, which he is introducing in Arizona, and for which motor car he has the state dis tributing rights.
 MT. Hunter will make his headquar- ters permanently in Phoenix. where at some future date not far removed he will establish an elaborate parts depot and service station, for the ben eft of purchasers of the Lexington.
 Thus far in the southwest the only rights which have been sold are for Mohave county, the town of Needles, and part of the county of Yavapai, which entire district is being handled by Rabbit Bros, of Kingman. Twenty four hours after receiving the first car Babbitt Bros. made a sale, according to MT. Hunter. and in consequence promptly ordered a carload With this big hit right off the bat, MT Hunter believes the successful future of the Lexington in Arizona is indicated.
 According to the automobile man, the car he is introducing makes it's bid for popular sanction on a number of interesting points. The first is it's easy riding qualities. Largely re- sponsible for this is the 52-inch rear spring.
 The Lexington has a Continental Red Seal motor, counterbalanced crank shaft. and Borg & Back transmission

offensive in September, 1915 In the Champagne, the French fired at the rate of 900,000 shots an hour-a total of 50,000,00 shots in three days, on twenty five mile front.
 The cost of ammunition. considered in the light of wastefulness, is appall- ing, says Popular Science Monthly. A year ago Canada had contributed $350.- 1000 worth of shells. The United States had exported ammunition, eX- plosives and firearms worth a half billion. It is needless to state that the last year has been the most productive of all. not only in the United States and Canada, but in the European countries as well. Figures of shell pro- duction run into unthinkable billions For this the tremendous capacity of the guns used is largely responsible.

with a Moore multiple exhaust, which was invented by the chief engineer of the Lexington factory, and which may be applied to no other but the Lexing ton six. The apparatus eliminates the power consuming back pressure pres ent in other makes of automobile, in the exhaust manifold. Waste gas is thus conserved, more mileage obtained and far more power is obtained"
 "The Lexington car will be placed in the hands of some responsible local dealer" concluded MT. Hunter.
 MT. Hunter is making his headquar- ters temporarily at the Adams hotel.

Before the war Germany held an average stock of 5000 shells for each gun, while France estimated a daily expenditure of 13, ,500 shells, but before a year had elapsed she was fir ing 100000 a day.
 According to an official report of the French army headquarters. the French artillery north of Arras fired 300,000 shots within twenty-four hours, the total weight of which would be S,901, 900 pounds. During the great French
