and for this reason Buick cars have
been equipped with every cold
weather convenience necessary TO
perfect driving comfort But there
are some miscellaneous rules with
which not all drivers are familiar.
but the observance Of which will
often simplify driving even under
the most trying conditions" says l.

SAW HOPE OF

These were fine and stimulating
words, which convinced me that the
chancellor. the reichstas, and general
headquarters we're fully agreed al TO
continuing the fight u the worst
came TO tho worst. But Il seemed
that the chancellor and the rcichstag
failed to realize that every German
had been engaged since 1914 In a
fight for his life. and that this fight
demanded every sacrifice from w all.
The clear consciousness Of this had
been lost among the thousands OF
catchwords with which both from In.
side and outside the soul Of tho Ger
man people was poisoned.
II was not until May, 1919, when
the incredible peace terms were pub.
lished. that this fact really pene
trated the people and the national
assembly. Again the selfsame presi
dent Of the reichstag spoke, using
noble and moving words. which
seemed like a call to instant action,
but the official report did not dare
to repeat them. This time, too, how.
ever, the words rested bare words
But the situation was there In which
the country should have answered
their call.
