You Can NotU Buy a
Nash Used
Car

Tt has always been practically impossible to OBJ
tain Nash used car. From the time Nash cars
were introduced, owners have been unusually
reluctant to part with these powerful and de-
pendabe automobiles.
Now, however, we have limited supply Of
various models obtained from owners who have
purchased new Nash cars from u.s.
These used Nash cars are all exceptional values
and are selling rapidly.
We do not speculate in used cars are we in
the used car business for profit. Our used car
department is simply a convenience to buyers
of new Nash cars. Our experts make careful
and conservative appraisal of the value of
used car when we accept it from its owner.
Our price to You is based upon this figure plus
only the cost of such work as may be necessary
to put the car in first class condition and actual
selling cost.
This is why we can sell used Nash cars at such
remarkably reasonable prices.
When you buy used Nash from u.s. you
are dealing with a company which has thou
sands of dollars invested here in maintaining
the Nash reputation for sound value.
Come in and see these used Nash cars today
while we still can offer you a limited range Of
selections.

PROFIT FROM THE
MANY ERRORS.

There were plenty OF errors-Navy and
Army-on both sides of the Atlantic
errors made by able and patriotic men,
as there always are.
Some will ask, Why should errors be
discussed now that the war is over, and
all the allied and associated powers did
so Well? Admiral Beatty furnishes the
answer in these words:
I'VE make many mistakes, and IL is
our business today to see that the lessons
have been taken 20 heart, and that we
shall not again be found In such a state
that we have to face the greatest crisis
IN history with improvised methods,
working from hand to mouth 1t may be
said that the result was good enough
with such methods: but was it? We have
surely no right to continue to rely on
imprOvisations. We in the Navy know
well our defects and it is our business
to face them, to leave no stone unturned
to avoid a repetition OF the mistakes
from which we have suffered in the past"

coe, but all who are interested in the
naval history of the war should read both
Jellicoe and Bellairs-and I hope we
will be able to read some day Jellicoe in
rejoinder to Bellairs.
SHOULD HAVE TURNED
TOWARD ENEMY.
The crux Of the battle is: Should Jel-
leo have turned the whole fleet away at
7:10 because a flotilla Of enemy destroy
ers supported by a cruiser was observed
on a bearing S. so degrees w. from
Iron Duke?" Bellairs says: at was to
avoid hsiattack of eleven destroyers that
1T is impossible" Bellairs continues,
Ito imagine a more definite break from
the whole spirit of naval tradition, or
from its practice, united to modern in
ventions, Of the golden rule that once an
enemy is sighted he must be cut off, close
ly engaged and annihilated. Our cruisers
and destroyers, who could have pressed
home their own attacks on the enemy
line, were by this time in the van" Final
", after an elaborate discussion, Bellairs
says: cit suffices here to remark that
no turn ought to have presented itself to
a British admiral but the turn toward
the enemy"
Admiral Jellicoe went in command OF
the British grand fleet after long and
honorable service in the admiralty. Is
that the reason why he placed prudence
above daring? The doctrine OF "a fleet
in being" had long ago been upheld by
the admiralty. Admiral Jellicoe felt that
the safety Of the world depended upon
the ability Of the British navy to prevent
the escape Of the German fleet to the
high seas. If he failed in dashing after
the enemy fleet under conditions he
deemed adverse, was it not due to his
long shore experience and his intense con-
victton that he must, at all hazards, pre-
serve British superiority in ships on the
sea

GREATEST ERROR
OF ALLIES.

What was the biggest naval error Of
the war committed by the anies7
I think the answer is plain and easily
understood now by both expert and
layman: 1t was the failure to erect, at
the beginning of submarine warfare, back
in 1914-15, effectual barrages across the
North Sea and the English Channel, in
the Mediterranean and at the entrance
to the Adriatic Sea. II efforts had been
directed to this end sinkings by sub
marines would have been greatly les
sened and ended long before the com
bined naval forces W. equal to the
big job Of making U-h)at warfare IN
safe
The deeds OF the destroyers and other
naval craft glorify the World War. But
II the day war was declared. as the
first naval offensive in that area, the
French and British had made the chan
mel from Dover to Calais impossible of
passage by an enemy submarine that
would have been supreme and effective
strategy.
If barrages, such as We afterward laid
across the North Sea, had been erected
there and across the straits OF Otranto
the U-boats would have been so hemmed
In that Germany would have realized
early In the struggle tnsS she could not
hope to- win the war by their use Mil
lions of tons Of shipping would have been
saved, and it would have changed the
whole trend Of the war at sea.

ON SHORE
TOO LONG.

I remember some years ago that a
certain naval officer, who stood high in
the service, went in command of a bat
tleship after three years Of shore duty.
How is Captain y getting on?"
asked Admiral Fletcher, then command
er-inchief of the feet.
He has been on shore too long" re
piled Admiral Fletcher, There is but one
way to be a successful, ready and quick
captain Of ship, and that is to practice
all the duties afloat"
Afterward that officer, highly esteemed.
was plucked.
When the time came for the United
States Navy to enter active war service.
even before the declaration of war,
gave the positions Of greatest Importance
afloat to men Of the longest and latest
experience at sea-Mayo In command OF
all our forces at home and abroad Rod
man in command OF our dreadnaughts
in the North sea; Wilson first in charge
Of the patrol squadron and later In
command of the French coast, protecting
our transports: Gleaves in command Of
the cruiser and transport force, safe
guarding and carrying our soldiers over
seas; Rogers in command of dread
naughts watching for German raiders of
the British and French coasts. and 9th.
ers Of long seagoing experience.
