of it's graduates for the year 1916 to be
commissioned in the army as second lieu
tenants without examination, other than
physical. In addition to this, it has also
been requested to recommend four men
for appointment in the u. s. marine
corps as second lieutenants without ex
animation, other than physical, and to
also recommend in addition six men as
alternates to take the place of candidates
who fail to pass physical examination.
Owing to the character of it's military
work, Norwich university has been sup
plying officers for the army for a number
of years. The primary object of the in
stitution, however, is that of educating
engineers and scientists. Only those of
its cadets who are graduates who have a
particular inclination or desire for mill
tary matters are encouraged to enter the
Il. S. service The institution was
founded for the purpose of educating
citizen officers, gentlemen who go about
their peaceful vocation, and who in time
of war respond to their country's need.
How we'll the institution has performed
this duty may be determined from the
statement that for every war in which
the United States has been engaged
BLACK Hawk war, Mexican war, Civil
war, Spanish American war, and recent
mobilization on the border) Norwich uni
versity has furnished more officers for
the federal army in proportion to its
graduates than any other educational in
stitution in the United States, West
Point alone excepted.

DEMOCRATS INCENSED.
Don't Like Idea of Continuing Republi-
cans in Office.

Washington, March 9.--Many Demo
cratic members of Congress were angry
yesterday over the announced intention
of the administration to extend the mer.
it system to all postmasters of the first
second and third classes, after April l.
by executive order of the president. They
declared the effect will be to place in
Office many Republicans and some said
the purpose was to draw Republican sup
port for administration measures in the
next House, whose political complexion
is so uncertain.
Postmaster General Burleson explained
the move was prompted by reasons Of
economy and efficiency, however.
Postmasters now in Office will serve
out the four-year term for which they
we're appointed but after April ! the
president viii fill each vacancy by ap-
pointment of the man making the high
est grade in examinations, which are yet
to be arranged.

SENATOR STONE
PROBABLY SAFE
Believed He Will Retain the
Foreign Chairman
ship
PUBLIC CLAMOR
is IGNORED
Change Would Upset Whole
Seniority Sys-
TEN

Washington, March 9.--While the Sen
ate yesterday afternoon was debating thu
closure rule the cloakrooms and corridors
hurried with the liveliest' sort of specu
lation concerning the future OF Senator
William j. Stone as chairman of the Tor
eign relations committee. The consen-
sus of conservative opinion appears to bt
that, regardless of the Missouriau's aban'
donment of the president on the armed
neutrality fight and his lineup with the
tilibusterers, he will be permitted to re-
tain the craftsmanship.
At the same time it was admitted that
the "baek home" sentiment throughout
the country is making itself heard in
very insistent fashion, and that all mem
bers of the Senate, including Stone him
self, are being bombarded with kilograms
and letters demanding that Senator
Stone retire from the craftsmanship of
the committee.
If Senator Stone is saved it will be by
reason of two potent factors that are be-
ing considered by the Democratic lead
ers, Should he be removed from the
Craftsmanship the leaders fear that the
bitterness engendered will be extended
to the House and that the new Congress
will assemble with the Democrats of the
lower branch disastrorsly split up.
The second consideration is that If the
Senate departs from the time honored
practice of awarding chairmanships of
committees on the basis of seniority, no
one of the leaders can himself feel safe
in the billet he holds.
Another disturbing thought for those
who might otherwise be willing to sacri-
fee Senator Stone to the popular clamor
against him is the fact that the next in
line for the Craftsmanship, unless senior
ity were altogether ignored. would be
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, and
while it is appreciated that Senator
Hitchcock led the fight for the armed
neutrality bill, he was educated in Ger
many and was until lately a vigorous
partisan of Germany
Most of the Democrats would prefer
Senator John Sharp Williams of Missis-
sippi, the next in line of succession,
whose position in behalf of a virile for
eign policy has never failed to impress
itself on the Senate.
Nevertheless, unless Senator Stone
himself should resign the craftsmanship
and his friends do not believe he will,
it is regarded as certain that he will
continue. The Democratic committee on
committees met yesterday to draw up
the committee states, but no final action
was taken.

Washington, March 9.--Treasury de-

the attorney general for decision on a
request from the custodian of public

to use the roof of the federal building
there as the location for the erection of
a scaffold to put to death a federal pris-

Foresight and Courage

1t has required an enormous invest
ment in plant and equipment to
prepare for this enormous produc-
ton.
The prime requisite in the automobile
industry is still foresight and cour-
age.
Mr.. WHY'S foresees a demand this
year in excess of the possible
supply.
In addition to enormous investment
in plant and equipment Mr.. WHY'S
had the courage to contract long
ago for enormous quantities of raw
materials-$35, 100000 worth al
ready in hand for this years
record production.
See all this reflected in the values we
have to show you in the most
comprehensive line of cars ever

represented in the Big Four at

Automobile values as at present
established are largely due to the
foresight and courage of Mr.. John
N. WHY'S, the president of this
institution.
He foresaw the universal use of the
automobile and had the courage
to produce quality cars in larger
quantities than they had ever
before been produced.
Steadily increasing production made
possible savings and economies
which steadily reduced costs and
repeatedly established new values.
Eight years ago, with net worth of
little more than $4,000 this COM
pany produced 465 cars.
This year, with a net worth of over
SOS, 100000 we must produce
over 100000 cars to fill our dealers
contracts.

THE DEATH KNELL OF KINGSHIP.


Germany apparently is surprised that Amer
ca at last did declare war Surface indications;
utterances more or less irresponsible by American
public men; observations more or less inaccurate
by friends Of Germany-all these combined to as
sure the German war lords that they could resume
their ruthless submarine warfare and that Amer
lea would do no more than turn the other cheek.
They seem surprised, too, that America, in the
hour of decision, instead of being torn asunder by
internal commissions, is acting as one man.
They did not take into account the ideals which
permeate America; the principles which form the
very cornerstone of the republic; that govern
ment of the people, by the people, for the people
which lured so many millions of folk across the
Atlantic from king ridden Europe.
The freedom of the seas, the safety of Amer
leans abroad, has ceased in a moment to be the
issue. The issue has become, by Germany's own
act, the characterization of all mankind. Amer
ica's recognition of a state of war sounds forever
the death knell of "the divine right Of kings"
That is the outcome which is now at last shap-
ing from this great weller of war. Russia has
dethroned her Car. Revolution menaces the
throne of Spain. France and Portugal are re-
publics. England, true is a monarchy, but limit
ed-decidedly so. The civilized world is uniting
against the last strongholds of absolutism. They
must inevitably fall.
That. is what this war really means. That is
the destination toward which it is steadily work.
ing. That, we hope, is the end of all this struggle
"a wider democracy. The fight is for the free
dom of the German people just as much as for
ourselves; for their release from the absolutism
which has turned their civilization back to bar
barism. Our victory, we believe and hope, will be
be a victory, not merely for ourselves and for
our allies, but even for those who fight against us.
