LITTLE & KENNEDY
EXTENDS BUSINESS

Now that the Little & Kennedy
Co., Tacoma, has been granted
territory additional to Pierce
county, Studebaker automobiles
are to be adequately represented
in Lewis county.
The new branch has been open
ed for business at 721 No. Tower
ave., Centralia. A lease has been
taken on a concrete garage build
ing.
The invasion of Lewis county Is
due in a large measure to the sue
cess that the Little & Kennedy Co.
has made in Tacoma and thruout
Pierce county, 225 Studebakers
having been sold in the field dur
ing 1917.
B. H. Kennedy, secretary of the
company, with his partner, T. w.
Little, realized the possibilities of
Southwest Washington and he
made a special trip to the factory
to lay the situation before the cor
poration chiefs.
Brown in Charge.
They saw that his concern could
market Studebakers satisfactorily
in that territory and give better
service to Studebaker owners than
by any other arrangement that
could be effected.
The branch will be n charge OF

that conditions In England and

ties had taken place at the same
time, they would have made a
revolution.
But they were not the result OF
organization or even of a concert
ed idea. The most sanguine OF
German democrats are without
hope Of revolution of Germany's
civil population.
Even DIR. Kribel Schlieben, a
leader of Germans who hope for
a democratic Germany has no
hope of a revolution while the
war lasts. Schleiben belonged to
the privileged classes In Ger
many. He was German consul
general at Belgrade, Serbia, when
the war broke out. His opposi-
ton to the war, which he branded
as one of aggression and without
cause, lost him his position. But
he continued his activities.

still, before the presence of large
numbers of Americans could stiff

TWO: The 2unexpected

broken to them that they
were to leave the calm east
and go into the fiery west.

Hungary Wants
The War to End

Hungary, never whole-heartedly
in the war, is fed up with blood
and wants the conflict to end.
Dispatches lately have been
saying good deal about gen.
eral strike in Austria. II the un-
rest compels the munition plants
to close, the soldiers may be call
ed to drive the workers back to
their shops. Then if the Austrian
soldiers, as the Russian soldiers
did, refuse to fire on their broth
ers--that may start something.
1t is the only hope in sight
today.

part of a Germans life as head
hunting was a Filipino's-before
the Americans taught him better.
From birth the Germans are pois-
oned into believing that they are
superior to all other peoples; that
tie kaiser is inspired by the AL
mighty; that the Teutonic race is
destined to rule the earth. Neitz-
sche, Treitschke, Frobenius and
Bernhard and every other school
and university in the land have
taught this.

seemed certain, there was no anti
annexation movement, no anti
indemnity movement In Germany.
The whole German people was
united with its army in a definite
project of conquest. Even Maxi
milan Harden permitted himself
to be lost in the crowd by writing
on Aug. %, 1914:
Germany has the right to ex-
tend its sovereignty and the might
to enforce this right. We wage a
righteous war. Our soldiers are
heroes. The Fatherland must
grow"
One of the most popular books
in Germany, both before the war
and at present, Is Great Ger
many" by Thormann. This book
deals with the future OF the Teu-
tonic race and contains this gem:
1--WE shall become master peo-
pie, as in our right; none but the
higher tasks shall be done by the
Germans; all mental labor viii be
done by subject peoples"
Dizzy heights for Germans;
slavery for the rest Of us.
Most observers feel that this
obsession cannot be cured I'M
til there is actual fighting on
German soil.
A military uprising strong
enough to be more than white
washed incident would put heart
and activity into mast numbers OF
war-weary German civilians. May
be together they could accomplish
something's. I met nobody in Eu-
rope, however, who has any hope
of a German revolution, military,
or otherwise.
There is far greater Likelihood
of something happening In Aus
tria. Conditions in Austria are
much worse than In Germany. In
addition, in Austria the anti-Ger-
man feeling, widespread before
the war, has been intensified to
point where a revolt in the army
would undoubtedly be accom-
panied by a revolt at home. Weak
ness and fear alone restrain the
on-Germans in Austria.

WOMAN HOMESTEADFR'S 49,,
HOUSE IS DESTROYED


Through a fire that started in a
peculiar manner, Miss Kittie Unger,
a homesteader who lives about II
miles northwest Of Poplar lost her
mouse and all its contents Tuesday
evening. The house and furniture
were reduced to ashes With a loss
that will total over $500. This
amount is PARTLY covered by insur-
ance. 1t is not known exactly how
the fire started, although there is a
theory that q door thai suddenly
blew open caused draught and car
ried sparks to the wood work. Miss
Unger was baking bread and about
6 o'clock went to well some little
distance from the house. When she
started to return she noticed the

roof. Miss Unger was 2owerless t.
