No Similar Cars

No other car, in many respects,
even resembles the Mitchell.
This mammoth factory was de-
signed and equipped for building this
single type, Every machine and
mea.5d aims to build it economically.
All this work has been done under
John w. Bate, the famous efficiency
expert. 1t has cut our factory cost
In two. 1t has enabled us to build
an extra-grade car for less than any
one else In the world.
The savings show in extra strength.
in extra features, in extra luxury and
beauty. We ask you to see the re-
suit.

NO SENTIMENTAL ETHICS ID ENTER FOOD REGULATION
 la
Hoover Plainly Outlines Att titude Toward Prohibitinl Use of Grain in Manu-
 facture of Liquors

Washington, May 26.-Herbert u
 Hoover. chosen by President Wilson te
 become food administrator when the
 pending legislation is perfected, today
 defined his attitude on the prohibition
 of the use of foodstuffs in brewing ana
 distilling. MT. Hoover said it always
 must be borne in mind that the proposed
 food adnnit ration is purely war meas- ure designs Intended for no purpose
 except the r1c~ of the country's food resources to U. efficient con
 tribution to success in X r, and that the
 food administration would hold its eyes straight on it's true objective. and take nc interest in ethical questions involved other question.
 If the problem of giving admfnistra- tive action tor the provisions of the
 Lever bill on brewing and distiiling came up to me- said MT. Hoover, T should first want to determine accurately ana beyond all question the facts as to how much saving can be made in the con sun ption of cereals. and the importance of this saving.
 "In order to determine these facts if the legislation passes, and if had to deal with the matter, should recom-
 mend to the President the appointment of a committee of national scope and en-
 tirely independent with views to deter
 mine exactly how much saving could be
 effected by such action. Such commit-
 tee would naturally take evidence under proper conditions and with fairness to
 all siGes. After the finding of this com mittee, it would be necessary for the President to weigh the results to be op- tained as against other questions such as the, dislocation of revenue and indus- | try. N hat is wanted in all these mat ters is real facts, and it Is impossible 1 to collect such fundamental data until ! after legislation has been completed.

Many persons in the streets first learned of the air raid when they heard explo- sions of bombs around them. The zone fin which the bombs were dropped cut a wide swath across the city. with the chief damage in the shopping and resi- Eentia1 districts. The bombs, which were of large size. demolished completely houses and small shops which they struck
 FOUR SQUADRONS IN RAID
 The first squadron of five airplanes was followed after short intervals by sec ond squadron, and then 8 third and a fourth, each of which repeated the tac- tics of the first group.
 The worst damage done was from a group of bombs which struck the busy business thoroughfare thronged with people. At one spot IS women, eight men and nine children were killed and 42 per- sons were Injured
 As soon as the raiders had dropped their bombs they turned homeward, prob ably aware they would have to face an attack from entente allied airplanes, which would be sent against them from the other side of the English channel The British and French airplanes met the Germans on the way and spirited air fighting occurred with the result that three of the raiders were shot down.
 NARROWING MOMENTS
 Reports this evening from the sur rounding district indicated there was some bombing of neighboring villages, sven some distance inland. These bombs mostly were dropped as the German air planes were making wire circle to ap- proach this town from the land side.

Registration Plan Is Again Explained By
 The War Department

Washington. May 26.-In its campaign to stimulate interest in registration June 5 for the war army, the war department today issued a memorandum emphasiz- ing the seven cardinal points to be remembered, particularly by men between the ages of Fl and 30, inclusive, who will be required to register. The memorandum fol- lows:
 ONLY ONE DAY
 '1. There is only one day for registration. June 5. 1917. "2. Every male resident of the United States who has reached his twenty-fir and who has not reached his thirty-first birthday must register on the day set, June 5, 1917. The only exceptions are persons in the military or naval service of the United States, which includes all officers and en- listed men of the regular army. tho regular army reserve, the offi- cers' reserve corps, the enli/Zed re- serve corps. the National Guard and National Guard reserve, recog- nized by the militia bureau of the war department; the navy, the ma rine corps, the coast guard and the naval militia. the naval reserve force. the marine corps reserve and the national volunteers recognized by the navy department.
 DISTINCT FROM DRAFT
 "3. Registration Is distinct ! fxom draft. No matter what just claim you have for exemption, you must register,
 4. Registration is a public duty. For those not responsive to the sense of this duty the penalty of Imprisonment. no fine. Is provided in the draft act.
 "5. Those who through sickness shall be unable to register should cause representative to apply to the county or city clerk for a copy of the registration card. The clerk will give instructions as to how this, card should be filled out. The card should then be mailed by the sick person or delivered by his agent to the registrar of his home district. The sick person will en- close addressed stamped envelope for the return to him of his registration certificate.
 RULE FOR ABSENTEES
 "6. Any person who expects Ito be absent from his voting pre- cinct on uAGistration day should apply as soon as possible for registration card to the county clerk of the county whore he may bs stopping. or it hs is tna . city

of over s0,o00, to the city clerk. The clerk will record the answers on the card and turn it over to the absentee. The absentee should mail this card to the registrar of his home district so that it reach this official by registration day. A self-addressed stamped envelope should be enclosed with the card to insure the return to the ab- sentee of registration certificate.
 ''7. Registration booths will be open from z a. m. to g D. m. on registration day June 5. 1917."

MONTGOMERY NOW

 ON CAMP LOCATION
Birmingham's Chances Are Growing Less and Even Entire State May Be
 Overlooked by Board
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, May 26.-(Special)--wi the odds apparently in favor of Mont gomery as against Birmingham, all that the people of the latter city can do in an effort to secure a centralization camp Is to hope and pray.
 wood tonight
 According to the senator 1t Is not even definitely known just how the camps will be prorated. To delega tion of Birming- ham citizens some weeks ago Secretary Baker positively affirmed that the selec- ton of all camps would be made by Gen. eral Wood. Yet 1t is known that he has promised to locate camp in Montgcn- cry. and has added that 1t will be his satisfaction to give Representative Dent anything within reason that he might ask for
 The only source of comfort which Sem ator Underwood beholds lies in the fact that the soldiers have asked to be sta toned near Birmingham rather than Montgomery and in the determination of the war department not to utilize the excellent grounds near Jacksonville. Even should two camps be awarded to Ala bama, Birminghams chance would not be certainty on account of the desire of certain officials to avail themselves of the 16. .o00-acre tract recently acquired near Anniston.
 UNDERWOOD ACTIVE
 Senator Underwood is leaving no stone unturned at this end He suggested that it might be wise for Birmingham dele- sation to interview General Wood at Charleston if General Wood would be willing to grant such interview. which is regarded as doubtful
 The department has represented that no politics will be played, in awarding the camps. If this statement materializes Birminghams' climatic and other obvious advantages over Mont gomery might over- balance the influence of Representative Dent and his following. At the present time, however. with the chances good that decision will soon be made re- gardng Alabama points. the hope-and- pray advice of Senator Underwood seems to be tho only naining card.

 Drastic Measure to Raise
 War Money
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington. May 26-(Special.) )--Sec- retary McAdoo will not get his $1 ,S00 oOo,- 900.
 There Is no question but that the Sem ate will reduce the total provided in the revenue bill as it passed the House. The Senate, it is indicated. is determined, irrespective of the attitude of the ad- ministration. that business shall not be put out of business.
 In this connection. Senator Underwood this afternoon repeated his former as- sertion to the correspondent of The Age-Herald:
 ''The greatest necessity confronting the republic today is not the raising of an army or any amount of revenue; but in keeping business, during the period of the war, at stage as near normal as possible"
 He added
 MUST PROTECT BUSINESS
 The demoralization of business would be of more permanent disastrous effect than the landing by Germany of an army on the American coast.'
 Senator Underwood. admittedly the tariff authority in Congress, believes that the administration in preparing and the House in passing the current revenue bill, displayed evidence of being in the throes of a panic.
 It is his opinion that even if the war bill is 5000 900 it can be paid off in 10 years by an increased but not ruinous burden of taxation He does not neces- sarily ascribe to the theory uf bond issue. He believes however. that in- stead of attempting by legislation to pay as we go. this country can avert i'm comparable business distress by extend ; ing payments over period of 10 or more V NeaiS
