Washington, May 1.-The United

1t wise to divert the necessary ship
ping from transporting food to trans
porting men,
IL became known definitely todav
that the government has offered the
Allies troops, but has suggested, that

them at once. In spite of objections
OF the general staff to putting anv
American force on the firing line be.

raised and trained, the administration
has determined that the small contin-

not discussed at today's Cabinet

President Wilson.
Little doubt exists that the French

necessary to have American troops in

British Anxious, Too.
The British also are known to be
anxious to have American troops in
france as a final earnest of American
participation, but there is reason to
believe that they have taken some

war, they believe that the one essen

Motor Car Is Worlds
Greatest Time Saver

Our most valuable resource is time.
Now We must take time to do double
work and carry double the burden.
And the motor car Is the worlds
greatest time saver
Use the motor car. Multiply the
hours In a day. The time saved by
the motor car means more time for
actual production purposes. This
means greater national prosperity and
more taxable wealth to aid our gov
ernment.
Take out your pencil. Figure out
the time you can save for yourself
with motor car. Total up the in
creased number of things you can
accomplish In that time. Multiply
that by the number Of people in q
position to buy car. Then you see
how vast becomes the aggregate good
the motor car can accomplish.

The Nation Looks
TO The Farmer

Upon the farmers of the United
Sttaes is laid the greatest obligation.
From the soil they must wrest more
than they have ever before harvested.
And OF course they will continue to
get the highest prices in history for
the products they grow.
The farmers must make every min
ute count. And the automobile is one
implement at hand that can assist
him. With an automobile he need
not trust to a slow horse and buggy
when his reaper breaks down. He
can 60 to town and return to continue
his days labor without losing but a
fraction Of the time he ordinarily
would have lost.

Into demand.
TO the efficiency and economy Of
the modern automobiis is largely due
this Increase. It has removed itself
from the class OF luxiries ana prov
cd Its place as an ecollo,nic necessity.
It Is the worlds greatest instru-
ment for both work and play. It
pays for itself once by saving time
and promoting efiicien<y. and again 10y
providing recreation and rest and
furthering health. The war won't be
won by an overworlted. careworn,
frazzled people, but by a healthy and
efficient people.
The mind that said "All work and
no play makes Jack a dull boy was
a great mind. The place of recreation
as an aid to more and better worlo is
recognized by the men doing the
worlds biggest jobs everywhere.
President Wilson and Premier
Lloyd George know the truth of that
old saying. Both Of them-even In
these pressing days-take time to mo-
tor and play golf. Not for fun, but
because they know 1t Is their duty to
keep fit. Sir Douglas Haig rides
horseback every afternoon. not for
fun. but to keep sound, SO he can
endure strain of his Job and think
straight all the time.
And the proper light for you to
look upon your investm ent in a motor
car is as an aid to business and
promoter of health--and therefore OF
your all around efficiency.
You will find justification Of sour
purchase Of any Detroit-made car in
the sound and thorough goodness or
the car itself and real economy OF It's
service.
Saxon cars are good cars. The z
passenger roadster model is priced at
$4Sh. The big, 5-passenger touring
car Saxon Six" is $s65 until May
lst. Both models can be seen at the
local salesrooms.
