Just as the longer wheelbase gives the modern

Take the matter of weight, to which there is
greater import attached today that ever before:
Through scientific design, elimination Of parts
and extensive use OF aluminium, the Marnon
weighs LOO pounds less than any other car OF like
size and power. In fact, it weighs 1,ooG p99pnds
less than some cars with only 125-inch wheelbase.
And Marmon wheelbase is 1856 inches. This light
weight means a corresponding economy in oper-
alton and maintenance.
Literally hundreds of parts are eliminated by our
advanced construction side aprons, body sllls, and
fender supports among them. And with them have

Is the War Ended?
Yes and No--Wason

On October Is in his statement
calling on the coal miners not to
strike, President Wisson said:
"The country is confronted with
this prospect at a time when the war
itself is still fact, when the world
is still in suspense as to negotiations
for peace, when our troops are still
being transported and when their
means of transport is in urgent need
OF fuel"
Two days later in his Prohibition
enforcement veto message the Presi-
dent said;
II object to and cannot approve
that part of this legislation with. ref
erence to wartime Prohibition. 1t
has to do with the enforcement of an
act which was passed by reason OF
the emergency of the war and whose
objects have been satisfied in the de-
mobilization of the army and navy
and whose repeal | have already
sought at the hands OF Congress"
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1919-11-07

clears up any doubt as to whether the
war would be ended legally with the
ratification OF the German treaty.
Some officials had expressed the opin-
ion that the war emergency would not
pass until the treaty with Austria had
been acted upon by the Senate.
This dispatch emphasizes the inn
portance OF quick action on the part
of the people to prevent the deluge
of drink and the orgy of drunken
ness, crime. and distress that would
result If the war Prohibition law
should cease to be effective before
January 10. Take no chances. Move
immediately to protect your comnlun-
ity. See articles elsewhere in this
paper on what to do TO insure Pro
hibition until the Constitutional
amendment goes into effect.

Wartime Lid
May Be Lifted

An Associated Press dispatch sent
from Washington on October % reads
as follows:
Wartime Prohibition will be
brought to an end by presidential
proclamation Immediately after the
Senate ratifes the German peace
treaty, it was said today at the White
House.
Officials explained that the war
time act provided that it should be
annulled by the President when peace
had been declared and when the army
and navy had been demobilized. Con-
gress was informed yesterday by the
President in his message vetoing the
Prohibition enforcement bill that de-
mobilization of the army and the
navy had been completed.
