Berlin, Aug. emperor William
has issued a proclamation to the Ger
man army and navy and the German
colonial forces. 1t reads:
The third year of the war has come
to an end. The number of our adver-
saries has increased but their pros
poets of victory have not improved.
You crushed Rumania last year. The
Russian empire once more trembles
under your strokes Both countries
sacrificed themselves for the interests
Of others and are nov bleeding to
death. In Macedonia you forcibly
withstood the enemy's assaults. In
mighty battles on the western front
you remain the masters of the situa-
tion. Your lines are firm, protecting
your beloved homes against the ter
rors and devastation of war.
'The navy has achieved good re-
suits. 1t has threatened the enemy's
~istence. Far from home a little Ger
man group is defending a German col
ony against forces many times super
ior.
Victory in the coming year will
again be on our side and on that of
our allies. Ours will be the final vic
tory. With a deeply moved heart, /
thank you in my own name and in
that of the fatherland for what you
achieved in this last year of the war.
With veneration we remember those
all who gave up their lives for the
greatness and safety of the father
land.
THE war goes on. 1t is still being
forced upon us. We shall fight for4
u existence in the future with firm
resistance and unfailing courage. As
our problems multiply SO does our
strength increase. We are invincible.
We shall be victorious. The Lord God
will be with us.

lodging house early today by
masked men and hanged to a

two standard color schemes. While the

Another body. mounted on this same

Production for 1917 Will
Run Up Close to
100000 Cars
THIS FROM OUTPUT OF
5000 AUTOS IN 1918
A Standardized Machine
Now Has Been Attained,
Says Walter E. Flanders

Under Walter E. FLANDERS as presi-
dent, the Maxwell Motor Company has
concentrated upon the production Of a
single model. and the figures Of pro-
duction since January /, 1918, tell an
adequate story of the growth of the
concern. In 1918 about 5000 Maxwell
cars were built and sold In 1914 the
new organization began TO strike its
speed, and 10000 Maxwell cars were
marketed. In 1915 this figure was
doubled, and 10000 cars found their
way out of the bic assembling plant in
Detroit. In 1916 approximately $4,000
Maxwell cars were built.
The last season has witnessed furth-
err progress. From $4,000 the produc-
ton has jumped in leaps and bounds.
1t was necessary to install additional
machinery and employ a greatly in
creased force Of workmen TO handle
the situation. A second progressive
assembly track was added at the great
assembly plant at Detroit.
All during the year the production
has averaged more than 400 motor cars
every day, and at times the production
figures mounted TO more than QUO a
day. More than 100000 cars will have
been turned oUt CT the Maxwell plants
before the 1917 season has departed.
Mr.. Flanders has deep knowledge OF
production methods. He is alive to the
advantages of labor-saying machinery
and devices. II is his ambition 10
achieve a combination of speed, eff
cheney and perfection.
The Maxwell factory was the first to
use the dynamometer test for big pro-
duction. Hitherto this test had always
been a laboratory test and had been
considered practical only for high-pow-
cred. high-priced cars, where the pro-
duction is small. The Maxwell com
pany took the dynamometer out OF the
laboratory and made IT factory propo-
sition. Every Maxwell car gets the dy.
namometer test, which is considered
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-01-07

more exacting than any road test could
possibly be.
Mr.. Flanders announced last summer
that the product is now standardized;
that no changes will be made IN design
or construction, except such. minor re- re,
fnements and improvements as VIII
suggest themselves from time TO time.
In other words, the ideal toward
which the company has been WORKING
has been attained. To express 1t IN
the words of the Maxwell president,
that ideal has been Ito build a motor
car of light weight. attractive appear
ance and low operating cost; TO equip
II with every device for comfort ana
convenience; throughout to lnstll a
value and character that we could be
proud TO indorse with our name ana

car at a price made possible only by
scientific manufacturing and a great
