FIRST HAND INFORMATION

Germans, prcGermans and half oak-
ed Americans at home have been
prone to doubt the stories of German
barharities that have appeared in
print. Most Of the Germans who have
been over here for many years cannot
understand the sinister influence that
dominates the German people in Ger
many through the rEle of the military
cast, and did not even have a chance
TO take a course in the primary grade
of the education in frightfulness that

were young, and can not understand
the change that has taken place in
that country. sentiment that now
passes under the head of kulture.
and should be named scientific bar
harism. We all have been shocked
by the stories of unheard OF heartless
cruelty practiced by the German SOL
diers, aye, by the German civilians.
and half has not been told This
cruelty is not confined wholly TO the
enemy, either, for the German soldier
is handled with a hand of steel. The
following extract from a letter from
a\soldier in France. lately in hospital
where there were many wounded ma
rines, throws little light on the ways
practiced by German officers and Ger
man soldiers which is first hand IN
formation that cannot be refuted. as
ii is told by brave men who have seen
what they tell:
While here I have listened to many
thrilling stories of the experience s
these wounded had in the recen. big
drive at the front. and have had con-
firmed many of the reports of en-
envy barbarity, cunning and despera-
ton that were hard TO believe when
related in the press dispatches. Sew
eral of the boys have told me of seeing
German soldiers chained TO machine
guns. One of the boys said he saw an
old gray haired man and youth of
about 16 thus chained TO their deaths
Thus is the valor and patriotic devo-
ton of az least part of the German
troops insured against the impulse 10
retreat. One of the things that most
incenses our boys is the German trick

Grad. The American soon discovered
the treachery Of this act. AS l am told
these Germans, if they succeeded IN
throwing our men of their guard
would resume the fight when they
thought they had an advantage. On
the other hand thousands Of Germans
have surrendered gladly, happy to
reach safety and the comforts of an
allied prison camp, where they are
well fed and well treated
Yes: and while these prisoners are
being well fed at the expense of the
people at home the Germans starve
their prisoners and treat them with
such brutality shat death is relief.
And these are the people that murd-
cred American men, women and chill

could stand for ii no longer, and when
he decided TO protect the lives and
property of American citizens such
men as Dill and LaFollette stood the
friends of those barbarians, Dill going
so far as to insult the president by
saying he was declaring war for

 spite of annoying and perplexing delays.
 So much has happened since last we assembled in this Memorial hall that 1t seems like q thousand years. Our part in all the years history is one that gives no cause for aDoloev. but rather occasion for pride-we may have failed in doing all our hearts prompted, but we have the conscious ness of having honestly tried to make our contribution to the nations firm resolve to make the world safe for democracy
 We know not what the future hath of marvel or surprise; but we are set in our purpose to play our part in this great struggle in which democracy is engaged. The Daughters of the American Revolution see very clearly certain duties which they can perform and are determined in their purpose to fulfill them.
 In the first place, our society is absolutely behind the government in it's war program. This is no time tc play the game of politics-the presi- 1 dent is the commander in- chief of ouI army and navy and we are at war and our only place is behind ouI leader. and we show our loyalty by being unswervingly loyal to oul chosen commander. So long as oul country is at war, there is but one place for all loyal citizens-at the ! back of the president.
 We have another responsibility tC face. We must give unstintedly oul praise and support to our gallant al | lies. We are giving them now some very belated aid. They were on the | firing line for two and a half years | fighting our battle, before we really l awakened to discover that it was oul battle They were very patient witt us; they said no harsh words abou | us; they seemed to feel confident ! that when we awoke we would seC our place and perform our duty Now 1 they are most tragically awaitinl some full measure of contribution il men. ships. munitions. and food W, should be the last nation to criticis, our allies. as we should be the las nation now to boast concerning wha we will do 10 the enemy when ou opportunity comes We have prac tically everything to learn from Eng land and France in the way of mod ern warfare Our modesty should b. equal to the help we render them.

which way the wind was blowing. They have, through dealers, been made aware that purchasers of today look at the purchase of a car from the standpoint of utility. They make sure that it is constructed so that it will bear up under all service which they will demand of it.
 This to me is a strong indication that the automobile purchasing pub lie regards the automobile as an eff ficiency producer. They realize that 1t enables owners to do the maximum amount of work in the minimum time. This not only insures the future, by helping one make the most of the present. but it literally puts speed on ones journey on the road to success.

AUTOMOBILE TIME
 SAVER GREAT HELP
 ID BUSINESS MEN
By GEO. N. REUBEN kissel Aufn CnnnnanN

That the automobile is proving a time ecOnOmizer and efficiency pro- ducer is evidenced by the increasing number of passenger cars used by busi- ness men that throng the business streets of practically every city and town in the countrT Especially is this so in those sections where are located the manufacturers and other indus tries that are working at top speed to keep up with the increased demands made by the government in supplying the sinews and supplies for all branches Of government work
 The owner of an automobile. through the dependability he can place on it and it's readiness at all times. not only makes tho most of his time, but his car saves him time, and in this day as we all know, time is money. With the automobile. the business man now arrives at meetings on time, the eX- ecutivc is about at all times-the doc tor reaches his patients in time-While the salesman can reach his customers at any time.
 Broadens View Point
 Through the mechanical efficiency of the passenger car. it broadens our sphere of activity. practically enabl- ing us to do two hours work in the place of one to cover the two blocks ot today Co the one of yesterday. This economy of time iS a necessity in every phase of business life. whether at the office, factory or home.
 The successful man makes his min- utcs pay, that is why his hours pro- duce the greatest results. His auto- mobile enables him to accomplish in fifteen minutes what the man without an automobile. usually accomplishes in half an hour He concentrates his time instead of scattering it. Its adaptability to shorten distance, places no limit on his area of operations. He is reducing his minutes while the non- owner is adding to his hours, making his automobile an investment, while other less certain methods of trans portation prove an expenditure.
 Success Goes With 1t
 Have you ever noticed that the more successful a man becomes. the more he unconsciously depends on his auto- mobile to keep him so? To him the purchase of an automobile is a plair business proposition. He knows by experience that it will enable him tC do more and better work
 lt is the time saved. not the tim' spent. that counts today. With onl! sixty seconds in a minute. it is up t, everybody to make each second count lt is my opinion that if every non owner of an automobile would stop t figure up the many uses he can pu a car to, and how many hours it woul save him, and then consider the man. other things he can accomplish in in time saved. there would be no doub in his mind that the purchase of a automobile would prove a paving in vestment
 The war is creating added responsi bilities. not tO any one particular clas of people. but to all classes and wit the speeding up of individual effort. which have been characteristic c Amcricas first year of the war. ther is not a doubt that the adaptability C the automobile to every day life, wi reach a point from now on hitherto fore not thought possible.
 Standpoint of Utility
 ! know that the automobile manu lecturers for the past year have seei
