TEETH OF SOLDIERS
 IS SOCIETY'S CARE
Hartford Courant.)

The Ivory Cross has been organized fin London for the purpose of taking care of the teeth of soldiers and sailors during and after the war. number of important people are concerned in it, in one capacity or another these in cluding the Marquis of CreWe, Lord Burnham, editor of the London Daily Telegraph; Lord Beresford the lord mayor of London, and Mrs. Lloyd George. It has secured registration under the war charities act, and also an official authorization from the Lon don war pensions committee. In a par agraph on the need of such an organ ization the Daily Telegraph says:
 Very few people indeed could say off, hand what the admiralty or the war office does in the matter of dental care of the sailor or the soldier. Since the beginning of the war these have strengthened and improved their sys- temS very greatly as far as the men of the royal navy and the regulars and overseas forces are concerned. But of those who pass out of the service and back to civilian life, there is no ques- tion that many will not be in a posi- tiOn to pay for adequate dental assist ance and that their health and future usefulness will be greatly impaired un- less they can obtain it. The man of the mercantile marine, to whose splendid services the country owes so unpayable debt, are peculiarly the victims of bad teeth. They have scant opportun- ities of consulting dentists, and the hard biscuit which enters so largely into their frugal fare often breaks their teeth, upon which decay and further 1 trouble enSues.
 l It is the plan of this new society that 1T sailor, for example, has the tooth ache at Liverpool, and has no time to look after 1t before going on board ship, or if the treatment of it has only begun before he leaves that port. the 1 necessary attention or continued treat | ment may be secured at Hull, or at any other of the English ports at which his ship may touch. In the same way re- turned soldiers, wherever they may be overtaken by a bad tooth, are to go to the nearest dentist for relief the dental l profession Of the entire kingdom being organized to furnish treatment in such 1 cases.
 l It looks very much as if one charac. terization of the twentieth century will De that It was period when organiza tons were set up for every kind and manner of human relief. We say this with no idea of disparaging this new ivory Cross, for everyone who has haG sound toothache knows that for the tune being that is the most importa Inf | thing in the world. But we imagine that our ancestors, of only a few gen. eratlons back, would have had their own opinion of man who could no, take care of his own teeth, and pay for taking care of them. Some of them would have brutally said of such a man that he needed a nurse. It is 4 great contrast.

ELECTRIC ENGINE
 1000 HORSE POWER
Chicago JournaD

The worlds most powerful electric engine has been completed in an American shop and soon will go into service on an American railway. 1t has capacity of 1000 horsepower, which is 50 per cent greater than the largest electric engine used in the west.
 This monster, capable of exerting as much power as a string of trolley cars more than half d mile long, draws its current from a wire no bigger than that used by a trolley car, or about the size of d lead pencil. This is made possible by the use of the high voltage alternating current system
 It is built in one unit. There are two trucks, each having six drive wheels six feet in diameter. On each truck are mounted two powerful cleo tric motors taking current from the trolley wire and supplying Laecnanical power through a gear wheel to the drivers. The total weight is 260 tons, length seventy-siX feet. Although thls weight is compact the engine is said to be much easier 0n the track and roadbed than a steam locomotive be- cause the weight is cushioned and the running gear is perfectly balanced for all speeds.
 - The control has been applied to such perfection that power can be exerted gradually so as to enable the engine to start a train without jerk and au- quire the speed of twenty miles per hour with a heavy train in about two minutes.
 An interesting feature is the fact that the engine will handle enormous

Sheriffs will have the addresses of all the car owners who are members, and their telephone numbers, if they have telephones. Their work will be to answer calls at all hours and take deputies where they are needed. It is understood the car is to be furnished with a driver, though the owner may be the driver if he wishes.
 The owners will be organized into squads and each squad will have a commanding officer. The cars at all times will carry the round emblem on the radiator, showing they are ready for the service.

Minnesota is forming a motor re- serve a body of volunteer motorists who will transport sheriff's deputies in each county to-scenes of action in case of trouble.

Save Money Now On
 Hudson Super-Six
Many former s12OO to S14OO cars now cost about as much as Hudson Super Six.

Price has always been a fairly accurate index of quality. But just now, because of the head long rising of material costs. price is not a true indication of value. Fifty-one cars have been forced to advance prices 2oqo to 25go.
 The present supply of Hudson Super Sizes is built from ma- terials contracted last year. Since then material costs have almost doubled. When that sup ply of materials is exhausted, then, Hudsons. too, must cost more. By prompt buying you can save the difference between what a Hudson Super-Six now costs and what it must certainly have to cost when it's price is in-

fluenced by the present material market.
 When former cheaper cars could be bought at s200 to $500 less than the Super-Six, no two of them had sales equal to those of the Hudson. That shows how popular the Super-Six has all ways been as compared to other cars. It is easy to imagine how much more popular it will be now that there is no such price advantage. The Hudson Super Six has made itself the wanted car as compared with others.
 It is the largest selling fine car. Almost 40,0O0 are in daily use. It has established itself as the life time car.

France and the United States. Re-
garding the contemplated attack
against this government, he said:
Operations against the United
States Of North America would have
to be conducted in different manner
from those against England. During
the last year political friction with
the States, especially friction arising
from commercial lcauses, has not been
lacking, and the difficulties that have
arisen have mostly been settled, by
our giving way. AS this obliging at
titude has its limits, we have to ask
ourselves what force we can possibly
bring to bear in order to meet the
attack of the United States against
our interests and to impose our will.
"Our fleet will probably be able
to defeat the naval-forces of the
United States, which are distributed
over two oceans and over long dis
tances. But it would be mistake
to suppose that the defeat of their
feet will force the United States,
with immense resources, into con-
Guiding peace.
Considering the great extent of
the United States, the conquest of
the country by an army of invasion
is not possible. But there is every
reason to believe that victorious en-
terprises on the Atlantic coast and
the conquest of the most important
arteries through which imports and
exports pass, will create such an un-
bearable state of affairs nthe whole
country that the government will
readily offer acceptable conditions in
order to obtain peace.
'If Germany begins preparing a
fleet of transports and troops for
landing purposes at the moment when
the battle fleet steams our Of our
harbors we may conclude that opera
tions on American soil can begin af-
ter about four weeks, and it can not
be doubted that the United States
will not be able to oppose us within
that time an army equivalent to our
own"

In the Boer war Germany's trade in
munitions was profitable with both
England and the Beers During the
Balkan war the Krupps received en-
ormous profits from the sale of mu-

only when the British navy had shut
Germany out from American ports
and deprived her of the ability to Sc
cure munitions here that Germany
started in the United States a propa-
gandism against munition making.
The senator from Wisconsin has
insisted that the United States ought
now to declare the purposes of this
war and the terms of peace. The
answer to that, Mr.. President, is that
that is exactly what the kaiser wants.
