Along Auto Roc
BY T. n. LACY.

Automobile manufacturers are ever
alert to enter live territory and the
growth of any city may be judged by
| the increase in automobile agencies.
The more dealers the better it is for
| all concerned as competition is the life
| of trade, because it puts the individuals
on their metal In. Pensacola the au-
tomobile industry is very active at
present with the result that three new
cars have already made their appear
! ance and two more are due very short
! ". The three are The Comet, The
! Stephens Silent Six and The Bush car.
/ The latter is the last to enter the field
and will be handled by j. d. Rawls.
Among the new cars which are due
to move in on high very shortly are
The Columbia, handled by the Cole
/ Motor company of Jacksonville, which
has an entire train load of Columbus
enroute from the factory for the Flor
! ida trade. The Columbia has already
earned an enviable reputation wher-
ever introduced and will hold its own
in the West Florida field.
| Then comes the Bour-Davis cars
manufactured by the Louisiana Motor
Car company of Shreveport, La. Dis
trict Salesman w. P. Ellsworth of At
Ilanta, was in Pensacola Friday looking
for local dealer. He offers at
tractive contract. backed by a rea
car which is designed for service in
the south by men of the south who
work for southern factory. The
Bour-Davis lists in the neighborhood
of $4,000 and has the lines as well
as the power.
Thus it is seen that Pensacola is ir
the eye of the automobile trade. The
centennial movement has made as
much to do with this as any Other
lagency. Auto manufacturers are wide
awake and they realize that Pensa-
cola is the logical place for an inter

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
 ID AID MINORITIES
Smaller Nations Will Be Pro-
 teCted, PiChon Says

Paris July 7.-Special treaties and the league of nations will protect minority peoples, especially Jews, in the countries of eastern Europe, Ste phen Pichon, the French foreign min ister pointed out in the reply he made to a communication from group or deputies, which was issued for pub lication tonight. CA brief summary of M. Pichon's letter was cabled last nightD The deputies, who represent ed various partieS had expressed to the foreign minister deep feeling over reports of pOgroms, massacres, boN- COttS and persecution mf1Cted upon Jews in eastern Europe.
 "InfOrmatiOn we have collected, the communication says, shows there may have been some eXaggeratiOn, but it is certain that a foundation of cruel truth remains which the Poles do not hesitate to recognize. We know with what energy the French government
 defends the rights of all ethnical and religious minOrities, but unfortunately
 owing to d lack of publicity of de-
 bates in the peace conference Israel
 ties of the whole world, notably those
 in America suppose that France has
 forgotten her traditional role of de-
 fender of the oppressed, leaving their
 cause in the hands of other represen-
 tatives at the cOnference.'
 The letter concludes by asking M.
 PichOn to make known officially the
 attitude of France in the peace con-
 ference in favor of the Jews.
 In replying M. Pichon assures the deputies that the French government
 took the initiative on the beginning of
 the conference to insure a thorough ,jot of icb aoti hv f h O peace delegates. The French repre- sentatives were placed on the first commission on Jewish affairs, the ap- pointment of which was one of the first acts of the conference. He says that this commission studied the question with the commission set up for the consideration of questions re- garding the ne<J states, the chairman
 of which was Frenchman
 "Qualified representatives of the Polish and Rumanian governments declare their readiness to accord the l Jews complete liberty and equality in 1 politics, religion and language" M
 Pichon writes
 His letterT points out that it would be most dangerous to create special | privilegSs for Jews, "as our final ob- ject f4to guarantee the rights of mi lio'i.4SS unlll the day they are Weldeo l into sFNe nations so that they are in
