AGAIN Without Cars,

A remark was made on the street
this week that the P. NJ. Lawrence
Co. were moving out Of their present
quarters. 1t is not SO, but simply
that they have sold all Of their new
cars on hand and are waiting for
more.
Due to the curtailment Of automo.
bile production occasioned last year
by the war. the manufacturers have
not been able to meet the demands
by increasing production so that a
purchaser Of a popular car can get
immediate delivery. The Hudson
and the Dodge Brothers cars have
always been in the popular class.
and the new Essex has so met the
approval Of the public that it has
been sold as fast as received.
Mr.. Lawrence states, having just
returned from Boston, that condi-
tons there are in the same proper.
ton that they are here, and that it is
necessary that purchasers place their
orders now for future delivery. 1t is
his opinion that the present shortage
of popular cars will continue
throughout the year. Production is
speeding up to meet the demand but
in order for the customer to be pro-
tected he must anticipate his future
needs in this line as we'll as in the
purchase Of his other necessities

terest Has Rarely Been Surpassed;
"When Love is Blind" also on Pro.
gram Today
Everybody admits it is hard for a
woman to keep a secret. But there
was one woman who did and she was
Nan Mcdonald. 1t nearly wrecked
her life to hold fast to the great Sc
cret she had. What this was is
strikingly and even wonderfully told
in The Silent Woman" Metro
play. which will be seen at the Co.
lonial theatre this afternoon and eve
ming. Edith Storey plays the part of
Nan and it is one of the best things
she has ever done.
Not only is the story Of the piece
one Of the finest ever told on the
screen. but the wonderful scenery
presented makes a powerful appeal
to the spectators. One Of the views
shows a trading post at Hudson bay
and to make this alone an acre Of
ground was required. At this trad
ing post Nan was a clerk and to the
place comes John Lowery. his beau
tiful wife and their invalid son Billy.
They are guests OF Clifford Bres-
ford, lumber owner. Bresford
makes love to Mrs. Lowery and while
she is talking to him from the bal
cony one night. her foot catches in
her negligee. she falls to the ground
and is killed. Nan sees what hap
pens while she is getting a drink of
water for Billy who has taken a great
liking for her. This is her secret.
Later when she marries Lowery she
still holds her tongue" even though
she learns that the marriage on Low
ery's part was not one Of love. How
the eyes Of the man are opened to
the real value of the treasure he has
received and how the family come
finally to true happiness makes a
story that must find its response in
every heart.

Washington. Aug. 16-An efforts
by Democratic senators to agree with
Republicans on a program of reserva-
tions to the peace treaty were aban-
doned today as the result of word
from President Wilson.
The president. in a talk late yes
terday with Senator Hitchcock senate
administration leader, strongly dis
oouraged even the discussion of res
ervations by Democrats. He made 1t
plain to Hitchcock that. in his opinion,
the day for discussing reservations is a
long way off.
Dcfcnt All Amendments.
What Democrats must concentrate
efforts on. in the presidents opinion
Hitchcock said is defeat Of all pro-
possls to amend the treaty.
At the presidents suggestion. there
fore. Hitchcock will begin drive next
J week in a speech to the senate. against
acceptance of amendments. While II
has. been generally recognized for
weeks that there are not enough votes
in the senate to make general textual
amendments, the president is said to
feel that the slightest possibility of
amendment OF any section-the cross
ing OF Il" or the dotting Of an p
must be removed before he will even
consider reservations.
Breaks OFF Negotiations.
The presidents attitude. as stated by
Hitchcock today. broke off virtual ne
gotiations which promised to develop
into a compromise on mild reserva-
tons. These negotiations were begun
by some Democrats without consulting
president Wilson.
Follwing his talk with Wilson,
Hitchcock said, I'm the end a COM
promise may become necessary" But
he added. The president is not at all
sure reservations must be accepted,
and at any rate won't cross that road
now"
Reservations are regarded by Will
son as likely to be embarrassing,
Hitchcock said. Their adoption would
indicate. In the presidents view, that
the United States has little faith in
the treaty.
Hitchcock. in his speech next week
in the senate, will point out he said,
.as the president did in their talk yes
Hterlay. that amendments would mean
that the United States would lose the
benefits conferred by the treaty. He
cited access to German dyestuffs as
an example.
Amendment. in the presidents
view" said Hitchcock, would mean
than the United States would have to
go back to Germany. hat in hand.
