WAR.

The United States is at war
with Germany.
President Wilson appeared be-
fore the two Houses of Congress
in the great hall of the House of
Representatives at half past
eight o'clock Monday evening.
Every seat on the floor was filled
and the galleries were crowded
to suffocation. His address came
at the end of a day that had
been increasingly full Of excite
ment until, when he appeared
that evening the enthusiasm of
the vast crowd in the building
seemed to find an outlet only in
E the almost hysterical greeting it
gave him. President Wilson,
himself was for q moment SO
deeply affected that the first few
lines of his address, as he read
them, could hardly be heard.
But he soon recovered and his
voice seemed to grow stronger
and clearer as he proceeded.
His audience heard him in sill
ence, too conscious, probably, of
the fateful import of the words
it heard, to chance the losing of
a sentence by inopportune ap-
plause. But when be reached
the line I'VE will not choose the
path of submission" Congress
and the galleries alike threw off
all restraint and for fully five
minutes cheer after cheer rang
through the hall. A moment
later came the declaration that
meant this country had entered
the war.
President Wilson declared that
as the Imperial German Govern
ment hau by its recent course
declared war on this country,
the United States accept the
challenge and he followed this
sentence with the formal recon-
mendation that immediate steps
be taken to place. the country in
a more thorough state Of defense
and that it exert its power and
employ ali its resources to bring
the German Government to terms
and end the war.
Following are some of the
features of Wilson's speech:
The objects of the United States
in entering the war, the Presi.
dent said, were to vindicate the
principles of peace and justice
against selfish and autocratic
power. Without selfish ends,
for conquest or dominion, seek
ing no indemnities, or material
compensation for the sacrifices
it shall make, the United States
must enter the war, to make the
world safe for democracy, as
only one of the champions of the
rights of mankind, and would be
satisfied when those rights were
as secure as the faith and free
dom of nations could make them.
The present warfare against
commerce is warfare against
mankind.
One of the things that has
served to convince US that the
Prussian autocracy was not and
never could be our friend is that
from the very outset of the pres
ent war it has filled our unsus-
pecting communities and even
our offices of government with
spies and set criminal intrigues
everywhere afoot against our
national unity Of council, our
peace within and without, our
industries and our commerce.

WHERE is THE HUDSON SUPER
SIX MOTOR?"

Thousands asked this question at
the 1917 New York Automobile Show.
This years show visitors were motor
wise. They came to see the new cars,
their lines and colors, but they were
more interested in performance than
in paint.
Around the Super-Six Motor exhibit
throng gathered constantly. Not a
curious, but an interested crowd of
automobile critics, whose sole aim was
to study the Super-Six motor and see
wherein it differed from other motors.
And to learn if possible what the ad-
vantages were, and why the cars with
this motor had been able to go out and
win all worthwhile records during the
past year.
Many of those present were at the
shows last year. At that time they
Imperial Valley press., 1917-02-16

viewed the new Hudson motor with q
great deal Of skepticism. 1t was hard
for them to believe that any motor by
a single invention could be made 80 per
:ent more efficient. They thought the
statements of the Super-Six builders
were tinged with too much enthusiasm.
But after the Super-Six had won al.
worthwhile records these men became
believers and here they were at the
New York Show telling their friends
about the Super-Six motor-the motor
that they one year ago had refused to
acknowledge. And so this year, as
last, the Hudson Super-Six and its
wonderful patented motor were the
center of attraction at the New York
Show.
The Hudson Super-Six is in display
at Brentner and McCabe, motor car
dealers of Ell Centre, where Mr.. P.
Willis will be glad to demonstrate the
Super-Six motor.
