JACK NEAL SELLS
i so USED CARS HERE
Il DURING LAST MONTH
March Sales Shou Great
r. Increase, Reports !.
GriH Vance.

= ariff Vance reports that the sales
q ueed cars continues to improve for
the Nash company. He believes the
cause for this 10 due principally to
the fact that the public OF San An
tonic wants to buy cars from the
dealer who will not misrepresent his
MERCHANDISE.
1T is strange but true that some
companies will 90 to any means to
see that the new car is not misrepre-
scented to the public, and then will al
low their representatives absolutely to
destroy the reliability of one of, IL
not the most important part Of their
business. namely, the used car depart
ment. There is no doubt but that the
ability Of any company to sell its
new cars is shown by its ability to
dispose Of its trade-ins." says Mr..
Vance.
This company does not believe that
1t sold single car during the month
of March that was misrepresented to
the purchaser in any way. 1t believes
that any of the following people will
be glad to testify as to the value they
received in the used car purchased
from this company. People who bought

Washington's Showing.

Washington has reason to feel
proud of the manner in which its citi-
zens responded to the call of the Presi-
dent on Defense day. Thirty thousand
men and women marched, most of
them in the costumes of their every
day work, without arms. They repre-
sented all walks of life, all occupa-
tions. Many of them were veterans of
the Great War. some of the Spanish
American War and a gallant few ap-
Civil War, veterans indeed, but in
spired by the same thought as that
which animated their younger brother
Americans. Some were too young to
have taken part in even the latest en-
gagement Of American arms.
The Capitals showing was especial
ly impressive for the reason that it
was not largely composed of units of
the regular forces. 1t was in the
greatest proportion u truly citizen re-
sponse to the call. 1t was a reassur-
ing registration for possible service in
case of need. The local committee
having in charge the Districts par
ticipation in Defense day has earned
the thanks Of the community for their
efficient labors in acquainting the peo
pie with the nature and needs of the
occasion and congratulated upon the
striking success of this work.

Judge Mcmahon Reappointed.

President Coolidge yesterday reap
pointed John P. McMahon as judge
Of the Police Court for an additional
term. His decision to renew Judge
McMahon's commission was based
upon his excellent record in the court.
which is the highest consideration in
the selection Of public officers. especial.
iy members of the judiciary Judge
Mcmahon has served capabIy during
his first term in a position of great
difficulty. A Police Court judge is
charged with an onerous duty, daily
sitting in judgment upon cases of
crime and misdemeanor seriously af-
fectinG the peace and safety of the
community. The conditions of that
service are such as to impose severe
tax upon the incumbent The record
which Judge McMahon has made was
such as to outweigh political con-
sideratiOns which We're presented to
the President as ground for a change.
and he wisely and for the benefit of
the District has disregarded them in
the interest of the official administra.
ton of justice. The District appre-
ciates the application of the merit
principle to the offices within the
municipal jurisdiction which are at
the disposal of the Executive.

Bryans refusal to cooperate fully
with the Federal Governments De-
fense day program that he had, per-
haps inadvertently, but no less dis
tinctly, raised a new issue in the
political campaign outside of the
declarations Of the Democratic plat
form. This. it was felt at first, might
be seriously embarrassing to Mr..
Davis, but the latter quickly indorsed
his associates position. This had the
unfortunate tendency to make the
Defense day plan a Republican meas
partisan matter, and it would never
have been so regarded at any time but
for the fact that the Governor Of
Nebraska chanced to be the Demo
cratic candidate for Vice President,
and it was impossible to dissociate his
two roles.
Now Mr.. Davis has removed De-
fense day from the sphere of politics
by his statement at Cheyenne. His ad-
dress there was delivered at night. 1t
would be ungracious to suggest that
it was in any manner inspired by the
telegraphic reports of the tremendous
response Of the people to the Presi-
dents call for showing of the pro-
tective forces of the Nation. Certain
ly. in view of yesterdays spontaneous
registration of the readiness of nearly
100000 people to serve in case of
need. there is no possible political

Automobile Tragedies,

Three local automobile fatalities
were reported yesterday. One man
was struck by an automobile at
Bladensburg with such force that he
was crushed to death against a mov-
ing freight train and one car of the
train was thrown from the track by
the motor car. The fair presumption
is that the automobile was travelling
fast. The driver is reported as saying
that the accident was due to heavy
fog, The thought that will come to
most persons is that when fog OBJ
scures vision on an automobile road
drivers should proceed with caution
The accident happened about 2:30
o'clock in the morning. Darkness,
fog and high speed make a dangerous
combination.
Two young men were killed near
the junction Of the New Cut and Fox
all roads by collision of their car
with a roadside tree. This accident
happened close to midnight. The 20.
lice have no theory as to why the car
struck the tree, but as thousands of
cars pass that tree safely every day
the inference is that careless driving
was the cause. or that some part of

Gen. Pershing's Retirement.

Gen. John J. Pershing's retirement
from active service, which occurs to-
day, is one of the unfortunate effects
of the rigid law which requires that
man shall leave the ranks of the
military or naval service upon at
his physical and mental fitness. Gen.
Pcrshing is i'll the prime of life. in
full vigor and capable of rendering
valuable services for q long time to
come. But his 64th birthday automat-
ically, unless Congress has granted
exemption by special act. marks the
end of his active duty, and he passes
upon the retired list, free to engage
tive Army organization.
1t was hoped that Gen. Pershing
would be retained in active duty by
act of Congress. Such legislation was
proposed. but failed at the last ses-
sion. That is to be regretted. For
Gen. Pershing had in his capacity as
commander of the American arms
during the great war made record
which redounded to the high credit of
this country and contributed in large
degree to the success of American
arms in France.
That much of the spirit of the
American forces overseas, a spirit
which carried them to such high sue
in, hoi tn hn
inspiration of Gen. Pershing is not
questioned. His capacity for organiza-
tion was recognized at once by the
high command Of the allied armies.
Fullest confidence was felt in him by
the military chiefs of the other
powers. He co-operated with them eff
fectively. and he brought the Ameri-
can Army up to the highest point of
efficiency, and when opportunity was
given he used his units in a series of
brilliant successes in the field. At ST.
Mihiel. on the Marine, in the Argonne
Pershing's forces proved Irresistible
because of their readiness in training
and their understanding of the tasks
set them.
Selection of September II, the last
day of his active duty, as Defense
day, was compliment to him and to
the men whom he commanded during
the war. Its success as a demonstra-
ton of the defense forces of this coun-
try was probably due in large degree
to the high esteem in which he is
held by the American people. who
now wish him the best of good for
tune in his future work, whatever it
may be.

Seventeen Million Defenders.

A nation in readiness for defense.

terday in every part of the United

t!cipation in the demonstration. the
test was complete success.
Those who, debarred by reason of
years or other disqualifications from
participating. yesterday watched the
parade of the potential soldiers of the
republic We're quickened by the spec
tacle Of the lines OF marchers, most of
them in civilian dress and without
weapons, who had merely stepped
forth from their usual occupations to
register their readiness to answer the
call for the defense of the country in
any emergency.
AS a spectacle of brilliancy this
parade lacked somewhat of the sparkle
and rhythm and musical accompani-
ment Of the usual military demonstra-
ton. But it gained in impressiveness
by that very reason. 1t was not de-
signed as an entertainment, but as a
reinsurance of the power Of the peo-
pie to protect themselves in case of
need. 1t was drill, as it were, of the
potential resources Of the country
Had this been militant demonstra-
ton there would have been no civilian
costumes in evidence. Every man
would have been in uniform with a
gun on his shoulder. Had it been de-
signed to impress other countries
with the possible striking force of the
United States in aggression, threat
Of war, there would have been a large
array of the mechanical appliances

ceived. 1t was merely the recording
of the spirit of readiness for defense
on the part of peace-loving people.
intensely hopeful that they would
never be called upon for service. but
prepared in spirit for duty if occa sion
should arise.
Yesterdays response to the call of
the President may stand as a warn
ing. if there be a disposition so to in
terpret it. a warning that no other ma
ton may safely rely upon the supine-
ness Of the American people to sub
NIT to aggression. 1t showed unmis-
takably that if ever attack is made
upon this country millions of men,
enough to make the largest army the
world has ever seen enrolled under
single flag. will be ready for duty in
defense. Such warning should be
an insurance against attack. Thus
Defense day may be regarded as
Peace day.
The truest peacemaker and peace
keeper is he who stands ready to quell
disturbance and to resist attack Those
millions of men and women who
marched yesterday constitute thus an
army of peace. No theoretical pacifist
can find in that spectacle any token
Of danger to the established policy of
this Government to abstain from ag-
gression and to avoid war. while
standing always ready for self-protec-
ton.
