tribute To Premier clcmcnceau In
speech made to-day at n luncheon AT
the Mansion House on the subject OK
rehabilitation aud the army Of occu-
patton.
There Is no living man. he said
"pcrhapS for many years there has been
no man who has moro fully embodied
in his own personality The valiant soul
Of tho French nation struggling against
odds and determined To nc free. TodaJ
he represents ms much as anybody does
the .virilc. manly, sober sane qualities
which arc greatly needed at the present
time: no, less needed now that the
lighting has stopped than they were IN
tho days when actual firing was pro-
ccedng the front"
The object Of the meeting. MT.
Churchill said. was 10 ask employers 10
reassure men retained in tho army That
their places would he kept open for
them.
We arc engaged in recruiting vol
untccr army to garrison the Erlt1Sh en-
prc." he continued. If We dispense
completely the present compulsory army
We should not only lose the fruits OIL
the war. but lose the British empire
VIC had before tho war.
There Is another reason why We re-
ouire to maintain a large force in the
present year VIC have just had war
with Germany: We have spent great
deal Of money and have lost a. great
many Of our best men in winning the
war and we arc going to make sure
that we do not have to fight that war
with Germany over again.
I'VE are going TO take measures
which will make it physically lmposs'-
ble for Germany to bring on r. war or
revenge, at any rate during our h1e-
time. We ARE going Ia ask Germany
70 agree to those measures and hclp US
carry them out. And after she mas
agreed, we are going 10 stand by and
SEQ that she does carry them out not
only in the letter. but in the spirit
There ia, another reason why VIC re-
ou;re to maintain an army in German?
for some time longer. We arc gong 10
make Germany pay what Is rlghtlui
and possible In rcparntion of the DAM
age she has done. both TO prevent
renewal Of the war. by effectually dls-
ar1ning Germany. and to secure rcpaFh-
ton, on which VIC arc determined, 1t is
necessary to maintain a strong. com
pact. we'll disciplined army on the Rhine
For some time to come. That army
cannot be maintained on the voluntary
basis.
we are not keeping large forces 10
fight In Russia; we have no intention
Of sending large British armies to tight
In Russia If Russia is to be saved,
she must be saved by Russia 1t must
be by Russian manhood. Russian cour-
ago: Russian virtue that the rescue
and regeneration Of this once mighty
nation. this famous branch Of the
European family. can alone be- achieved
Therefore. 1t Is an untruthful. ma
licious statement to say that it Is nee
cssary for us to prolong the action OF
the military services because Of an
enterprise which we have on foot in
Russia"

DON'T BLAME THE

if you were unable to secure New Hart
PARIS last season. Uncle Sam called
Hart-Parr and they answered the call.
They were busy as bees making steel
motor truck wheels, steel shells for the
allies, deck machinery for wooden ships,
and mounts for the 4-inch navy guns.
Their immense, well equipped plant was
too big war asset for Uncle Sam to
overlook. -. -.~
You need not be disappointed this
year, however, if you order early. They
are putting their full production capacity
on New Hart-Parr Kerosene Tractors
and the trade is clamoring for them.
The big up-to-date Hart Parr factory
has played big part in the development
of our great Northwest and the Hart
Parr product has gone out into other
sections and made an enviable record for
itself. We are proud Of it, and you will
be when you become Hart-Parr owner.

KEROSENE SUPREMACY

.--' = : 2 . 3.
No power elements have been refined
out of kerosene. It is the ideal fuel if
properly handled. But you can't get the
most out of kerosene with an engine
designed to burn gasoline, no matter
how much you tinker and adjust it.
The two-cylinder, four cycle engine Of
the New Hart-Parr is especially built
and designed to burn kerosene, and it
does it just as successfully as gasoline
engines burn gasoline. The Dray Kero-
sene Shunt, designed in our factory and
built exclusively for New Hart-P PARIS,
handles kerosene so perfectly that the
tractor passes from no load to full load
and from full load to no load without
throttling or adjusting the carburetor.
It makes the New Hart Parr marvel of
efficiency in kerosene burning -supreme
as kerosene tractor.
Add to this big feature, simplicity and
reliability and you see why the New
Hart-Parr is maintaining it's reputation
as the foremost tractor.

Work for Shell Shock Men.

The kind of employment the shell
shock man undertakes, whether he re-
turns to his old work or takes up some
thing new that suits him better. is one
of the deciding factors In his recovery.
The work must be congenial and it
must be something he can do without
strain or worry. And the hours, more
over, must not be too long. A patient
whom have known for five years does
q highly skilled kind of technical work,
which he thoroughly enjoys. and for
which he is highly appreciated by his
firm. In his zeal for his work, he from
time to time has spell Of working
over hours. with the result that he be-
comes fatigued and then takes alcohol
and for while is wholly irresponsible.
These attacks could be avoided IL his
wife were skillful enough to prevent
his overworking. For the man with
shell shock the nature and hours Of
work should be given the most care
ful consideration.-Mary c. Jarrett in
