TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wire1

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 27.-Coinci-
dent with she delivery from the Hog
Island shipyard of three of the eleven
army transports comes the announce
ment from the army transport service
of the proposed sale OF the old-time
transports, Meade. Crook, Fitzpatrick
and Warren, vessels which have served
the navy with excellent records for
thirty years or more. Bids are being
received for their sale.
The Hog Island News, the official
organ of the Hog Island shipyard,
says: While no official announce
ment has been made, it is understood
the transports being built for the gov
eminent by the American international
Shipbuilding Corporation will replace
/ the craft offered for sale, and also sew
/ in the Pacific and Atlantic transport
service"
OF the four ships to be sold the
Meade, built at Greenock, Scotland, i:
best known from its work during tbs
| Spanish American war. This ship
while not doing army duty during thu
| later war, served as a training vesse
for the shipping board, and is nov
berthed here. The Meade, forty-fiv'
years ago, was one of the crack British
passenger ships, sailing the Atlantic
under the name of City of Berlin. TIL
Crook, Fitzpatrick and Warren eacl
made notable records in the annals o
the transport service, the former beini
built in 1882, the Fitzpatrick in 1873
and the Warren in 1889.

THIRTY TEACHERS IN
CHARGE OF CAMP DIX
SCHOOLS FOR ALIENS

teachers are in charge of the Camp
Dix school where the illiterate and
aliens are getting the fundamentals of
citizenship as soldiers.
Tall. Short. See this man is tall;

Suiting the action to the word. the
teacher points first to a six footer
standing beside him, then writes the
word ''tall"; then points to a chunky
youth. measuring four feet. six, and
writes the word short"
The class shuffles its feet. squirms
in its chairs and laboriously pencils the
queer looking words in note books. And
when this class shuffles its feet il

department, has undertaken to equal
ize their education, as it were. The
draft disclosed that 24.9 per cent of
the men called to the colors could not
read a newspaper or write a letter.
Most of them were well equipped with
natural intelligence. but lacking in
education. This figure applied to both
native and foreign born. Efforts We're
made then, in rather cropping way, to
rectify this. That modest start has
developed into the school now at Camp
Dix, which was recently moved from
Camp Upton, \. Y, and five others at
Camp Lewis, Washington; c m Z
Travis, Texas; Camp Pike, Arkansas;
Camp Jackson, South Carolina, and
Camp Grant, Illinois, all modelled or

conviction that no other car in the
world has yet approached its wonder
full facility of performance.
The added exterior beauties are
plainly apparent = but the greater
beauties are those which await you
in an ease of control and softness
of operation beyond our ability to
describe.
The car has accomplished prodi-
gies of long, hard travel, with an
absence of even the most usual adj
justment so astonishing that it has
amazed even those of us who best
know the Cadillac.
Even while our eyes are fixed on
Cadillac steadily and progressively
improving, we cannot help feeling
that there has been attained, in this
Cadillac, a secure superiority which
is reward enough for a lifetime of
Jealous labor.
And that is what this Cadillac &C.
tually representative life-work of
the same group of craftsmen, giving
today as they have for years, the
very best that is in them to make
greater and greater Cadillac.
To the consideration of our tens of
thousands of Cadillac friends, and in
particular, to those who have felt
that the Cadillac they own could
never be improved upon, we gladly
submit this fine car.
Arizona republican., 1920-11-28

TT is our desire to be as temperate
! as possible in discussing this new
Cadillac.
But it is not easy to tell even the
plain facts in an entirely dispassion-
ate way.
For we have knowledge of this
Cadillac, in actual performance,
which prompts us to almost I'M
measured enthusiasm.
1t is the climax and the elimination
of more than eighty thousand Cadil-
lac cars, of the same type, which have
preceded it.
1t embodies and expresses the best
thought, and the best practice, of
nearly six years of concentration on
that type.
And it gives life and action to all
of the refinements and Improvements
which the past year, in particular, has
brought forth.
Slight wonder, therefore, if we are
eager that you shall make test of the
splendid properties we know it to
possess.
Our sincere and honest conviction
is that even these Cadillac works
have not produced a car which
equals it.
And candor compels us to add our
