Apology And An
 Explanation

Since January 1st we have been work, ing our huge manufacturing equip ment to full capacity. But in spite of these efforts we have never been for one day caught up with the de- mand for The Most Beautiful Car in America.
 It is significant fact that in the month of July just closed-a period unset tied by war conditions-the Paige Detroit Motor Car Company was able fill only 58 per centofthe actual orders placed during that month.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-08-05

We feel that we owe an explanation to the thousands of Paige enthusiasts and prospective Paige owners whose choice is The Most Beautiful Car in America, but who have been un> able to secure prompt deliveries. The Paige>Detroit Motor Car Company has not failed to keep up with its production schedule. As a matter of fact we have already far exceeded the schedule we planned for our selves last December.

That no Republican senators attend
cd the conference was due entirely to
the fact that the president did not
reach the capitol until the senate had
recessed and 1t was with difficulty that
pages and clerks reported those who
did attend. The president sent for no
one in particular. While Senator

Senate Republicans Afraid
Land Board Not Efficient?

Helena. Feb. 2.-(Special) - Two
house bills. So and 6s. having for their
avowed purpose the transfer of the
power Of appointment of all appointive
officials Of the state land board, now
composed of the recently elected Re-
publican state officials, to a Demo-
cratic governor. were passed today by
a Republican senate.
BY special dispatch these two house
bills. which had not been supported by
single Republican member of the
house but which had been carried by a
solid Democratic vote there. were, by
special dispatch, sent through the en-
tire proceedings necessary toward their
becoming law, from committee re-
ports to final third reading.

Asks Discussion
of Three Proposals.

To break off diplomatic relations

bassador yon Bcrns,orfrs passports
tomorrow;
To delay action until some overt act
has been committed against the rights
Of the United States;
To rc-definc the position of the
United States as outlined all through
the submarine controversy. with IA fl
nal warning that an offensc means a
diplomatic break.
The sentiment Of a large ma jority of
the senators was against the latter
course.
Senator stone and Senator Lewis ia =

intend to invade American rights. but
were for meeting any such invasion
with an immediate severance of rcla :

dent that Germany's new war zone
proclamation meant invasion of Amer
lean rights that they favored break

All understood that President VIII
son had not made up his mind whether
TO proceed as proposed by Senators
Stone and Lewis, on the assumption
that American rights would not be
violated; or whether to consider Ger
many's announcement as ground in
itself for summary action.

forward to Germany, nor had Ambas-
sador Gerard been given instructions
to inform the government of the state
of feeling in thesUnited States. That.
T course, has been done through the
German embassy. which continues to
express the firm conviction that there
is little hope OF avoiding diplomatic
break.
President Wilson's every action
throughout the day was predicated on
his belief that the United States faces
the most serious crisis In its history.
He chose the course of seeking the ad-
vice OF other men to compare with his
own opinions. The overwhelming SEN
timcnt from those he consulted was In
favor of n break in relations. Only the
time and method were questions of
difference. But even after his long
talk with the senator's, he returned to
the White House to give further con-
sideratlon to the problem.
One OF the thoughts in the minds of
the president and his advisers Is that
tho action OF tho United States should
be SO unassailablc that it would guide
other rcutrals.
President Wilson was boldly told by
most of the Is Democratic senators i'm
conference with him that the German
declaration was an affront to the
United States and tho civilized world
and that any other course than an
immediate rupture of diplomatic rela-
tons would be viewed by the world
as cowardtcc."
Some. however. urged that Germany
be notified of n definite time nt which
diplomatic relations would be severed.
and a few others urged that nothing
be done until Germany by some overt
act demonstrated her deliberate de-
termination to affront the United
States.

The bill simply pronounces to the
world at large that the Republican
party has elected to office officials who
are not in any way qualified to ad-
minister the affairs of the state.
True. Senator Johnny Edwards says
that the passage of the bills was a
very wise move and that by this act
the responsibility is placed on the
Democratic officials. Why the de-
sire to shift responsibility to the DEM
ocrats? Has the Republican party in
the past desired to shirk the duties of
the offices in which the electorate of
the state has seen fit to place it !?
One would think so. IL listening to the
remarks Of the suave Mr.. Edwards.
The fact remains that these bills
passed the house without a single Re-
publican vote being cast in their favor.
They went to a Republican senate and
were there passed by virtue of the fact
that 10 Republican senator's voted with
a Democratic minority-ostensibly to
shift responsibility.
The real reasons for this action are
! more than likely to become known at
| any time, but it is not thought that
the shifting Of responsibility had much
| to do with the act Of Senator Edwards
in attempting to hamstring a Repub.
lican board,
