IA EORE than seventeen million Ford auto. 1V1 mobiles have been made since this announcement was first printed. The passing years have brought many changes-in appear ance-in performance-in manner of man. ufacture. But there is one thing that has never changed-the fundamental idea behind the Ford car.
 The Ford Motor Company was formed, and exists today, not merely to make automobiles but to provide economical transportation for all the people. Far more important than the car itself is the part it plays in the lives, the happiness, and the prosperity of millions of people.
 Before the Ford was introduced the auto- mobile was considered more Of less as an expensive toy for only the wealthy to drive. There was no conception of its uses and pos abilities as we know them today. It was accepted in much the same manner that the airplane was accepted five years ago. Great

Oellrich's rifle cracks out, sharp

We have dropped in for a good
job. Eight Of us have to guard a
village that has been abandoned
because it is being shelled too
heavily.
In particular we have to watch
the supply dump as this is not yet
empty. We are supposed to pro-
vision ourselves from the same
store.
We are Just the right people for
that-Kat, Albert, Muller, Tjaden,
Detering, our whole gang is there.
Hale is dead, though. But we are
mighty lucky all the same, all the
other squads have had more cas-

We select, as a dugout, rein

steps lead down from above. The
entrance is protected by a separate

Now we develop an immense in

The floor is first covered with
mattresses which we haul in from
the houses. Even a soldier likes
to sit soft. Only in the middle of
the floor is there any clear space.
Then we furnish ourselves with
blankets and eiderdowns, luxurious

Suddenly there is a crash in the

Kat.
On the f1rst-step stand some

Parliament will refuse to pass the bill.
In that event the cabinet will consider
its duty done. If the bill does pass, the
government will have a mandate to act
in a more aggressive way in co-operat-
ing with American enforcement efforts.
Win or lose, the bill yet may become
an election issue in Canada.
There is an empire factor, however,
which is considered weighty. The &C

Sir Esme Is credited with having seen

Discrepancy Seen in Europe.
In Europe, the discrepancy between
the positions Of the British and Can
adam governments was noted more par
ticularly than it was in America. The
Canadian position then was one of con-

present policy OF not taking any major
decision without consulting the domin-
ions. The liquor issue seemed to in
volve a reversal of this situation, in
which a dominion was taking posi-
ton independently OF the mother coun-
try on what might become major

Sir Esme's action, considered from
this international perspective, Is judged
to have had much more than a local
significance. The building UP Of good

an Indifferent, neutral or friendly atti-

Esme created stir by the move he
made to prevent any irritation over the

Canada is developing the same general

CANADA MAY HALT
BORDER RUM FLOW
Move to Bar Expo ling Is
Seen as in Line With Brit
aims Goodwin Policy.
BY WILLIAM RUFUS SCOTT.

Canadian advices, on the eve of
Premier Macdonald'S departure Friday
repeated the information given in dis
matches during his visit in Washington
that a bill would be introduced in the
Dominion Parliament to ban exports OF
liquors for beverage purposes to the
: United States.
Whether this change in the off1cial
Canadian attitude on cooperation with
the washington Government in efforts
to control border smuggling was the
subject of discussion with the premier
in Ottawa has not been stated authori-
2 tatively, but prohibition circles here
point out that developments in Canada
and in Empire policy before Macdonald
visit laid the groundwork for the pro-
posed legislation.
Ministry is Held Divided.
! The Canadian ministry is reported
divided over the desirability of such a
law, even while agreeing to submit the
issue to Parliament. Moreover, the
move does not represent any taking of
sides, or changing of sides on the liquor
question by the Canadian government,
according to the understanding here.
1t is interpreted as simply a move to
separate the Canadian government from
any implication of sympathy for those
who make Canada a base OF operations
for violating the liquor laws of the
United States.
There is nothing new in the theory
underlying the proposed law. For in
stance, the United States would not per-
NIT any one to use the territory of this
country as base of operations for con-
Quoting an attack on Canada, Mexico or
any other country. Nor will the pro-
posed law necessarily mention the United
States specifically. 1t may state merely
that the exporting of beverage liquors
to any country, the laws of which for
bid imports of the kind. is prohibited In
Canada. That would cover the border
situation between Canada and the
United States, and, of course, it is this
border which is prompting the bill
Back of the expressed intention of
introducing the bill are several factors.

ment has been reflected in the press for

SAN JUAN. Porto Rico, october "a
P.-Gov. Theodore Roosevelt has dis
approved Of the purchase of American
flags by school children to wave in
greeting him on his trips over the

Learning that the children or their

their own money, which the children
sometimes needed for their school

ment suggesting less expensive method
OF honoring him. He said he appreci-
ated the sentiment, but would be Just as
happy if the children showed their
feeling by singing or in some other way
that involved no expense to them.

restraint Of beverage liquor.
Both official and private prohibition
circles will welcome Canadian law
banning liquor exports. 1t then could
not be charged that Canada had left a
loophole for smugglers. If enforcement
should fail, the blame could not be laid
to Canada.
