Has Large Car Comforts
With Small Car Costs

For one reason, men speak Of the Essex
as they do, because of its costly car finish
and equipment. The Essex has no useless
length or weight and no sacrifice has been
made in any of the comforts. 1t has all the
passenger space that larger cars afford.
You have but to ride in an Essex to know
its comfort. There is the large cars solid
ness about it that removes all sense of its
weight or size.
And yet its size gives distinct advantages.

LONDON. June 17.-There is no in

mated, Great Britain is willing to make
important notifications in the hope Of

1t is pointed out in authoritative
quarters that Italy doubtless would be
willing to tear up the treaty and start

seems to please no Italian statesman
because of it's decisions on Thrace and
Smyrna.
The French are reported to occupy
a middle position between that of Italy
and Great Britain, and may be ex-

on the Turks and by the Italians as
not lenient enough. -
