GERMANY REPLIS ID
 PRESIDENT WILSON
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)

occur in spite of these instructions the guilty are beng punished.
 The German government further denies that the German navy in sink
 ing ships has ever purposely destroy ed life boats with their passengers. Tie German government proposes
 with regard to all those charges that
 tic facts be cleared up by neutral commissions.
 In order 10 avoid anything that might hamper the work of peace, the German government has caused or ders to be despatched to all subma rine commanders prrcmding the tor pedoing of passenger ships. without, however, for technical reasons being able 10 guarantee that these orders will reach every single submarine al sea before its return
 As slndament condition for peace the President prcscribes the destruction of every arbitrary power that can separately secretly and ot it's own single choice disturb the peace of the world. Tc this the Ger man government replies
 Hitherto the representation Co the people in the empire has not teen endowed with an influence on the formation of the government
 "The execution did not provide for a concurrence Of representation of the people Tn decisions of peace and war These conditions have just now un- dergone fundamental change A new government has been formed in complete accordance with the wishes tprinciple0 of the representation of the people, based on equal, universal secret, direct franchise
 The leaders of the great parties of the Reichstag are members of this government In the future no gov ernment can take or continue in of flee without possessing the conti- deuce of a majority of the Reichstag. The responsibility of the chan ccllor of the empire to the represen-
 tauon of the people is being legally developed and saleguarded. The first act of the new government mas heon to lay before the Taichstag bill to alter the constitution of the
 empire SO that the consent of the rep | rcscntation of the people is required
 for missions on war and peace.
 The permanencc of the new sys- tenn is, however, guaranteed not only | by constitutional safeguards, but also Ky the unshakeable determination Of
 the German people whose vast major i ity stands behind these reforms and demand their energetic continuance.
 The question of the president with whom he and the governments associated against Germany are deal ing is therefore answered in Q clear unequivocal manner and by the state armistice has come from govern ment which Is free from any arbi- i trary and irresponsible influence, IS 1 supported by the approval of an over
 N helmag majority of the German | people" "Solf'

UNION COUNTY HEADS THE LIST IN WAR SAVING STAMPS -

In the amount of stamps pledged
during the recent War Savings
Stamp drive Union county takes
the lead among the other counties
of he state. According to a report
received here this week by r. w.
Isaacs, chairman of the War Saw
ings Stamp Committee of Union
County, we are ahead of all other
counties in the amount of samps
owned and pledged.
The report shows that Union
County people own and have pledged
S2lS,7ILOO. Number of pledges 3,6l2.
ColfaX County is second on the lis;
with 3,283 pledges, and 100000
owned and pledged in samps. Our
quota was S228,OOO.OO Mr.. Isaacs
is confident that when all scattering
reports are in, we will be "over the
top"
Union County has been called the
Stacker county of the state and at a
time when it seemed to the onlooker
that we deserved the stigma.
In this drive every trace of yell
low has been removed and no one can
ever again say that Union is not
squarely behind the boys in the
trenches.
We believe in giving credit where
credit is due. In this case we feel
that we would not be doing justice 90
the cause for which we all labored
so hard, if we did not make special
mention of r. w. Isaacs, and the
splendid work ne did as chairman
of the War Sayings stamp Commit
tee. He was neYer idle minute
during the campaign and he has not
lost moment since. To Us it SEEM
ed that he mad forgotten his own
business in an otfor to make this
War Savings stamp drive success.
80 his earnest efforts and labors is
due, in a measure, the splendid sue
cess of the campaign.

DIR, II. II. MILLS, SEC
RETARY OF THE COUNTY
COUNCIL OF DEFENSE.

DR.. H. R. Mills,Secretary of the
Clayton Rotary Club has also been
made Secretary of the Union County
Council of Defense. He will have
his Office in the War Savings Stamp
rooms on Main Street.
All communications to the Comfy
Council of Defense should be adj
dressed to H. r. Mills Secretary of
the Council of Defense for Union
County.
I In addition to his duties as Secre-
tary of the Rotary Club and Secre-
tary of the Council of Defense of
Union County, DR.. Mills is pastor
of the Methodist church of Clayton.
He is never idle, always busy with
his church work OF planning on how
to make Clayton a bigger and bet
ter town.
The people of Clayton and Union
County should, anG do feel proud of
the fact that Or. Mills is with US.
lie is here because lie likes the peo-
pie oi Clayton and Union County.
il is here because he feels that the
work he has started is not completed
and that there remains much good
yet to be done in this community. lie
is here on small salary when other
towns have offered him as high rs
$500 for his services. He is here
working for Clayton and her people,
when he could be with Chautauqua
drawing his $1,000 per week and all
expenses paid. This shows that DR..
Mills is not the man who values his
Job by the salary it pays. But on
the other hand he is the kind of a
man who works at job because he
likes the work and the people as
S1ciated with it, He is the kind of
a man who builds a ommunity and
stays with it till the job is finish ID.

AUTO INDUSTRY IN UNION COUNTY
PROSPEROUS CONDI1 ION OF OUR COUNTY
SHOWN IN Auto .IOBILE TRADE

No better barometer of the pros
perity of community can be given
lat the progress made by the auto
mobile industry. People living in
.rosperous communities are as
rule automobile owners, and are en-
,husiastic motorists. The Visitor
to Clayton or any other town in
this county is impressed by the large
number of machines that line the
streets, and is further impressed
when he notes that many of these
cars are of the better and higher
priced makes.
Less than ten years ago the total
number of automobiles in Union
County was none" The fact Is
shown by the abstract of assessment
for Union County made up at that
time. According to the present
County Assessor there are today in
Union County a toal of eight hun
dred and eight machines. Dealers
in the county report that many sales
are being made each day, and if they
continue ut the present rate the num-
ber Of auto owners in Union County
by the end of this vror v-ill total
right around one IL aa,.... lc mes.
Farmers in this section of the state
are becoming awake to the fact that
the automobile is no longer a luxury,
but is an absolute necessity iii car
rying on the everyday business of the
farm. With the aid of a machine
he is able to market the products
of his farm in short order. and in
addition To the time and money he
saves by the use of the car he also,
used it as a pleasure car. 1t is no
uncommon sight in Clayton 10 see
twenty or thirty cars belonging to
the rural residents lined up in front
of the picture show on weekday
evenings or in front Of the churches
on Sundays.
The auto has been responsible for
the construction Of better roads in
this part of the state, and even more
extensive road improvements have
been promised for the coming sum-
mer months.
Not only has the purchase and sale
of autos brought prosperity to Un-
ion county, but the industry has
caused many other business insti-
tutions to spring into existance.
Every town and crossroads in the
county now supports a garage Of
some kind. Auto accessory houses
laYP sprung into eXistance. Battery
shops and yulcanizing plants have
followed closely in the wake of the
auto game.

front rank with other good cities
in the state. Clayton boasts of five
good garages, all of which have an
important part to play in the de-
and upbuilding of Clayton
