BERLIN PRESS ASKS

Not Even Possibility of War
Should Move Germany to Re-
treat, Papers Say.

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 3.-Not even
the possibility of war with the United
States will move Germany to modify
or suspend her limitless submarin-
ings, If Berlin newspaper comment
reaching here is any standard.
News OF the denunciatory editorials
with which the American press
greeted the German note apparently
created surprise in Germany. 1t had
been felt, Berlin newspapers indicate.
that America would realize Germany's
necessity to use all weapons for her
own preservation. and that all neu-
trails, most of all America, would well
come any step which would tend to
bring peace nearer.
The Lokal Anzeiger's editorial to-
day urged that brief summaries of
editorial opinion from New York
newspapers received here be not
taken as rejecting the American Gov
ernment's view.

Undoubtedly the lndusry's
Growing Achievement

For we operate ON the basis Of
one executive organization
one factory management
one purchasing unit
one sales expense
one group of dealers to plan, produce and sell
all Overland, WHY'S and WHY'S knight models.
Buying power is concentrated. Costs are dis
tibuted over all these cars. The savings are
enormous.
As result we are producing cars of exceptional
quality-and marketing them at unusually low
prices.
Every car is built to rigid standard of per-
Torrance, comfort and appearance.
The new models are listed in this announcement.
They include Overland models from the snappy
comfortable $665 Light Four to the beautiful
Light Six Sedan at $1585.
They include also the big, handsome WHY'S
Knights from the Four at $12S5, to the super
efficient Eight at $3.50.
These new models establish price records, value
records and performance records which we believe
will prove to the public conclusively that the vast
economies of vast production are the key note and
manufacturing secret Of the greatest value for the
least amount of money.
The Washington times., 1917-02-03


From your point Of view this announcement is
most important.
For herein we set forth the achievement toward
which this company has aimed for the last eight
years.
This achievement in word is the completion
Of our gigantic organization to a point where we
can make and market complete line of automo-
biles under one head.
Thism means tremendous economies great
er than ever before.
This means the elimination of all waste, all lost
motion and much greater factory efficiency.
This means an even higher grade of cars at
much more attractive prices.
All OF which means substantial saving for YOU
on the next car you buy.
For now and for the first time in the history of
the automobile business as one single organiza-
ton offer the public full and complete line of
automobiles.
This concentration-thisg greater eficiency-ttis
more effective means of pulling together is going
to set new standard of low priced igh-grade
automobile values.

Still maintaining defiant attitude and insisting that no mere policeman had a right to summons him, a wear CT of khaki in federal service, into a common court, Julius Lorynec, pri- vate in Co.

Well, you're here" was all the consolation he re- ceived from Prosecuting Attorney George w. Klett while Judge Kirk hams only comment was a laconic ruling as to penalty.
 ''Very drunk and very abusive" was the testimony of Chief of Police Will liam J. Rawlings while Supernumer- ary Policeman Edward B. Kerin testi- lied that the accused caused much sfrouble on Hartford avenue last night, aefied him and dared him to make the arrest, saying that a mere policeman had no power over 8 soldier. It was testified that the accused became very abusive when liquor was refused him in Dudjak,s saloon at ?

S''Is,was arrested for nothing" was his complaint, when asked what he had to say. Last night, when arrested, he contented himself with abusing the policemen and refused to comment further about himself. As he was being arraigned strains of music from the instruments of the First Infantry band, a part of military funeral cortege were plain ly heard.
 Lorynec seemingly did not realize the solemnity of the occasion, laughed and joked with fellow prisoners in the dock and several times had to be restrained by Court Policeman Frank M. English. He strenuously objected to being returned to a cell after court, desiring that word he sent to his su- perior officers. He was informed that his interests would be looked after.

 The testimony of Lieutenant Sey- mour also eliminated the theory that the accident was due to tAmpering Of any ktlId.

 Lieut.. Commander Ferguson, asked as to the stability of the powder, stated that in all his experience with the brass mouth cups the Mongolia was the second that had ever come to his knowledge.
 Admiral Ralph Earle. chief of the bureau of ordnance supplemented the report with the following statement last night:

 "One of the special considerations in handling powder is that of sealing 1t in such manner that it cannot ab- sort the slightest bit of moisture.

To dramatically seal this blass cartridge case, brass mouth cup is provided, which makes 8 tight fit, and Is driven by a mallet into the mouth of the case. This makes a moisture proof joint.
 "When the gun Is fired, the shell. followed by the brass cup, is expelled from the muzzle. The brass cup some times remains whole and sometimes does not. But it. or it's pieces. are af- ways expelled some distance from the muzzle of the gun. The fact that these pieces or the cup itself might return on board has not been seriously considered. because this type of am- munition has been fired constantly in the naval service for at least twenty years without such an occurrence in this or other navies, 50 far as is known.

Her method of many years study
and practical experience in every
phase of both vocal and instrumental
music, has proved to be the correct,
thorough and comprehensive system.
There are no doubt, several ways of
teaching, but there is only one true
way for both branches of music, and
the necessary requirements are natural
gifts for one or both. The brain
must comprehend, the fingers demon
strate and memory exercised.
The voice being a truly natural gift,
must possess the volume, quality and
strength for expansion. Great care
must be used in training, as either
extreme may ruin the chords and
muscles forever. A fortune is within
the reach Of those to whom nature
has given the high or low expansion,
with the true resonant beauty and
quality. A delightful pleasure to the
listener, or vice versa. When all COM
binations are correct such a voice may
justly be named Musical Elocution."
Special training fc young children
in combination on any instrument by
divided time. Talent in all cases must
be well tested before an opinion can be
given. Obedience all thro is abso-
lutely required. What is the secret
of advancement in both vocal and in
strumental music? Think and be pre-
pared ahead means business on both
sides.

The habit thus acquired has never
been forgotten by the French, and to-
day b aggregate number of investors
purchasing the French war loans has
reached the amazing total of 100000

er country, in proportion to its popula-
ton, can make so good a showing.
France Is particularly fortunate In
that her small investors prefer safe"
investments rather han offerings which
promise high returns. Government

this characteristic seems to obtain for

pie.
The points of sympathy between
France n America are too many to
enumerate, but the spirit Of liberty and
its resultant democracy are, today as
always, the major ideals of both ma
lions. Seeking no Victories but those
of peace, no territory except their own,
no sovereignty except sovereignty over
themselves the independence and

One Of the most important devel-

branch to handle the rapidly increas-

This action may surprise many per-

The increasing activity of her RAD
way system is similarly demonstrable.
In 1869, there were in France 10. 743
miles of railroad track; in 1912. thers
were 31,546 miles.
Between 1869 and 1912, inland navi-
CATION increased 5000: while the traffic
OF her mercantile marine had amazing
ly expanded. The tonnage entering
French ports in 1869 is set down as
100000 tons. In 1912, this had been
increased to SO. 100000 tons.
Leaders in American finance ascribe
the solidarity of the French republic to
three influences; first, a thoroughly
sound banking system. centralized In
one of the greatest banking institutions
OF the world. the Bank Of France; sec
ond, the ingrained thrift and frugality
of the French people as a whole, to-
getaer with a national economic vigor
elsewhere surpassed: third, wise su-
pervision, and patriotic cooperation by
the government with banking and busi-
ness interests.
The government does its part to war
rant and retain the confidence of the
holders OF its securities. One of its
wise policies is to impose new taxes to
defray the interest charges on new Sc
curity issues. 1t began this practice
after the Franco -Prussian War, and is
today following the same rule in regard
to securities issued to finance the pres
ent conflict. This continuity of pur-
pose. doubtless. will prove reassuring
to all holders of French government
securities.
The Franco-Prussian war of 1870
1871 taught the French people the
meaning of thrift and economy. So
well did they learn this lesson, hat
the whole sum Of the indemnity de-
manded by Germany, $1,000, 00O, 900,
was raised within the republics con-
