WILL INCREASE IN VALUE
Decline in Production Makes Certain
Enhancement OF Existing
Motor Cnra.

y marked enhancement in value OF
all motor cars now in existence is no,
only possible, but probable in view of
the great decline in production that
has taken place this year. says ID. A.
PrentisS, local agent for the Grant Six.
The motor car is a necessity and
the present demand for cars is wholly
upon that basis. The reduction in train
schedules alone has created demand Tor
thousands OF cars fer the Transports
ton or statesmen and for the use OF
people living in the suburbs OF big
cities who formerly used communication
trains. TN the farms the motor car
is an absolute necessity. as everybody
knows.
The demand for trucks is so great
that thousands OF passenger cars are
being converted into light delivery
trucks. This is reducing the supply
OF used cars in a marked degree. This
tendency will continue. and higher mar
kct values for used cars may be ex-
pec;cd.
Because @! this fact. thousands OF
people arc seeing the wisdom OF in
vesting in new cars at this time. They

RECOGNIZE VALUE OF WHEAT
Shortage Has shown Us the Wonder
full and Unique Qualities Contained
In the Grain.

As absence makes the heart grow,
fonder, so does scarcity of wheat in-
vite attention to its wonderful and
unique qualities as food. We have been
eating wheat products all these years
as a matter of course, and 1t never oc1
CURED to us that we might ever be-
called on to go without them. Now
that 1t is necessary to use wheat sub
stitutes. we have discovered that USE
full as they are there ia nothing that
really takes the place Of wheat -four.
The magic Of the wheat lies In its
gluten-what the baker refers to as
the binder" He must have a certain
proportion OF wheat -four to furnish
the binder. or his oatmeal bread or his,
rice pastry crumbles. The substitutes
have the same nourishment as the
wheat. But they lack the quality OF
the wheat -four crust. There is moth
ing in them to imprison the gases lib
Grated by yeast, and so they refuse to
rise like wheat dough. Bread made Of
the substitutes is heavy and soggy un-
less there Is enough wheat dough
mixed In to give it life.
Without wheat we go without
bread, without cake, without pie, with
out strawberry shOrtcake. No affec-
ton for corn pone can make 1t q sub
stitute for all these stand-bys of the
table. II 1t is necessary for the sake
of the war, we shall cheerfully GO
without. Any deprivation we may feel
is as nothing to what our associates In
arms already have undergone. But we
shall look forward to the happy days
when there will be an abundance Of
wheat once more.-Kansas City Star.

RECORD BELONGS TO SIRIUS
Small Vessel Was the First 70 Cross
che Atlantic Wholly Under lite
Own Steam.

This spring marks the eightleth Gn-
niversary of an important event In
modern history-the voyage from Cork
to New York Of the Sirius, the hrst
vessel to cross the Atlantic wholly un-
der Its own steam. ALI that remains
Of that stanch little craft Is q number
of brass paper-weights made from the
metal work after 1t was wrecked in
Ballycotton bay In 1S47. Captain Rob-
erts, commander OF the 412-ton Sirius
on its maiden trip, was later trans
ferred to the President, which went
down with all on board. Thus both
the Sirius and her master met with d
tragic end.
The Sirius made the voyage from
Cork in 10 days, reaching New York
only a few hours before the Great
Western, another steamship which
had sailed from Bristol. The latter
made the best time, crossing the
ocean in 10 days. The Sirius had q
passenger list of seven on its initial
voyage, the youngest Of whom was
Vincent e. Ransome, then four years
old, who wa reported living a few
years ago In Wiltshire, England.

SULTAN WARNED TO
APOLOGIZE ORFIGHT
ULTIMATUM GIVEN TO TURKEY,
DEMANDING EXPLANATION OF
RECENT LooTING.
Two Previous Messages to Turkish
Government Have Been Ignored,
But Third One Must Be Answered
or War Will Result.

Washington.-A virtual ultlmatum
was sent by the United States govern
ment to Turkey, on June 25 demand
ing an immediate and satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of the Tabrlz incident.
There is strong reason to believe
that failure on the part of Turkey to
give favorable response will be follow
ed by declaration of war on the part
of this nation.
The demand-the third sent to the
authorities in Constantinople since the
incident occurred-was forwarded by
Secretary of State Lansing through
the Swedish government. Sweden was
bearer of one of the two previous COM
municatiOns and Spain of the other. To
neither of these previous messages has
the Ottoman government paid the
slightest attention.
Message Is Urgent.
"This message" declared an official
of the department, referring to the de-
mand, means business"
The offense, for which an explana-
stion is demanded, is the action of the
Turks at Tabriz in sacking the United
States hospital. The United States
demands to know whether 1t was the
outcome of irresponsible mobblng, fol-
lowed by the capture of Tabrlz by the
Turks.
Officials made no effort to conceal
their Impotence over the failure of the
Constantinople foreign office to pay
attention to the inquiries of this gov
ernment's demand, and it is admitted
that the relations between the two
governments have never been more
strained than they are at the present
moment,

OFFERS PEACE ON
GERMANYS TERMS
kUEHLMANN REFUSES TO GIVE
PLEDGE ON BELGIUM IN
ADDRESS AT BERLIN.
World Dominion Plan plscIaimed BY
Foreign Minister, Who Blames Rus
STA for Starting War, With France
Abettlng Her.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS war aims
were briefly set forth, peace ideas
outlined, the idea that she desired to
secure world domination through the
war disclaimed, and the responsibility
for the conflict primarily placed upon
Russia by DR.. Richard Won Kuehlmann,
the German foreign secretary, in a
speech to the reichstag In Berlin on
June "A.
While declaring that what was de-
sired for the German people and their
allies was free strong, independent
existence" within the boundaries
drawn for them iby history" the for.
eign secretary said Germany would
have to decline to make any prior con-
cessions by stating her position as to
Belgium in way which would bind
her without similarly binding Ger
many's enemies.
Referring to the responsibility for
the war. as he viewed 1t, DR.. Won
Kuehlmann said:
II do not believe any responsible
man In Germany, not even the emperor
or the members of the imperial govern
ment, ever for moment believed they
could win the domination OF Europe
| by starting this war. The idea of
world domination in Europe is Utopian,
as was proved by Napoleon"
After declaring that the revelations
that had been made showed Russia as
the power which planned and desired
the war, with France abetting her and
England's attitude Strengthening the
Russian desire for conflict, DIR. Won
Kuehlmann again declared that Ger
many had not entertained any belief
that this war could lead even to the
domination of Europe, and much less
that Of the world.
With reference to the peace situa-
ton, DR.. Won Kuehlmann quotes from
former Premier Asquith's speech OF
May 10, in which he said that the
British government would not turn q
deaf ear to a peace proposal If II
were not couched In ambiguous terms
I'VE likewise can make the same
declaration" added the foreign secre-
tary, knowing 1t to be also Oul
policy
"Once the moment arrives, when
care not to prophesy, that the nations
which are at present locked in battle
will exchange peace views, one of the
preliminary conditions must be certain
degree of mutual confidence in eaef
others honesty and chivalry."

will be made then to put France entire
