WHY THE OAKLAND is
COMING TO THE FRONT
II. Il. Coulson Tells How 1t Is Win
ming Great Favor.

Much interest has been aroused by
the coming to Abilene of full train
load of Oakland cars. E. e. Coul-
son, agent for the Oakland, explain
ed today the reasons for its attrac-
ton for dealers and users. THE
Oakland rise" said Mr.. Coulson," to
high place among the motor car
builders of the world, and its domi
nance in the field of moderately
priced fine cars result from a pro-
gram of progressive and scientific
engineering practice, efficient and
economical manufacturing on a large
scale, conscientious consideration of
the interests of their dealers and
their customers, and steady giving
of utmost value in those practical
features which both please and serve
the buyer.
"The absolute lack of considera-
tion of dealers and customers has
driven great many of them from
some of the we'll established manu-
facturers and as a result the Oakland
is reaping the harvest. Nearly all |
the Old Line dealers with from 10 |
to Is years experience are now
handling Oakland cars all over the
United States in trainload lots.
Each seasons success has up
builded the following years business
and elevated the cars splendid rep
the Oakland company
stands as the largest exclusive build
or of six-cylinder cars in the indus
try, and the Oakland Sensible Six
stands out as the leading value-giver
Of motordom. This company's I'M
usual prestige in the motor world is
still further enhanced by its posi-
ion as a unit of the General Motors
the most representative
automobile building institution in the
world"

runner of German Drive.
FIGHTING is VERY INTENSE
Teutons Are Adding To Already Su.
perior Forces On All Fronts
British AirpIanes Employed in
Large Numbers.

London, Dec. 12.-Along the en-
tire western front from the north
to the Adriatic sea artillery duels
of great magnitude are being fought,
which doubtless are the forerunners
of the expected great offensive the
Teutonic allies have in view before
the American troops can reach the
battle fronts in great numbers. On
the British front huge numbers of
airplanes are continually winging
their way over the lines, engaged in
battles in the air or searching out
points where troops are being con-
centrated The only infantry activ-
ity taking place on any Of the fronts
is in the nature OF raiding opera
tions.
The Teutons daily continue to re-
enforce by large numbers their al
ready superior forces on all the
front. Between the Brenta and
Pave rivers, on the northern front in
Italy, the artillery fighting is de-
scribed by the Rome war office as
and there is similar activ-
ity in the coastal region near the
mouth Of the Piave, where the Aus
TRANS Monday captured a position in
The Capo Sile region but later we're
driven out with heavy losses in kill

APPLY THE PROD
TO WAR WORK
Inquiries Result of Congress- Impa-
tience at Progress.
THREE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
VIII Look Into Shipping Problem to
Find How Much Tonnage
Government Can Expect
Next Year.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Impatience
and lack of information on the pro-
gress the United States is making on
its most vital war preparations, to-
gether with distinct dissatisfaction
with the way the coal situation is
being handled, particularly, prompt
ed the two separate investigations
upon which the United States senate
embarked today-one by the mill
tary affairs committee into the work
of the war department; the second
by the committee on manufacturers
into the cause of the coal and sugar
shortages.
It is expected an inquiry will be
begun shortly by the senate, also, in
to the shipping problem to find out
just how much tonnage the govern
ment may expect next year, and get
something definite out of the mass of
conflicting predictions and state
ments that have been made.
The federal military affairs COM
mittee will largely center on these
phases in its inquiry:
/. The big gun and machine gun
productions.
2. The clothing and work of that
branch OF the qUartermaster's de-
partment.
3. The cantonment contracts and
cost.
