TRUE INWARDNESS OF THE VERA CRUZ INCIDENT.

In the spring of 1914, occurred the capture of Vera Cruz. Men from one of our ships had been arrested at Taipplco and had been discharged with an apology. But our admiral demanded a salute, which was refused. Thereupon the president went to congress, asking authority to use the armed forces of the United States. Without waiting for the passage of the resolution, Vera Cruz was seized. It appeared that a shipload of ammunition for Huerta was about to enter that port. There was a natural opposition to this invasion and a battle occurred in which nineteen Americans and over a hundred Mexicans were * killed. This, of course, was war. Our dead soldiers were praised for dying like heroes in a war of service. Later, we retired from Vera Cruz, giving up this noble warfare. We had not obtained the salute which was demanded. We had not obtained reparation for affronts. The ship with ammunition which could not land at Vera Cruz had soon landed at another port, and its cargo was delivered to Huerta without interference. Recently the naked truth was admitted by a cabinet officer. We are now informed that “we did not go to Vera Cruz tq force Huerta to salute the flag.” We are told.that we went there “to show Mexico that we were in earnest in our demand that Huerta must go.” That is, we seized Vera .Cruz to depose Huerta. The question of the salute was a mere pretext.— From Mr. Hughes’ Speech of Acceptance. k 2 C

THE NATION IS SHOCKINGLY UNPREPARED.

It is apparent that we ar* shockingly unprepared. There is no room for controversy on this point since the object lesson on the Mexican border. All our available regular troops (less, I Relieve, than 40,000) are there or in Mexico, and as these have been deemed insufficient the entire national guard has been ordered out That is, we are summoning practically all our movable military forces in order to prevent bandit incursions. In view of the warnings of the past three years, it is inexcusable that We should find ourselves in this plight. For our faithful guardsmen, who with a fine patriotism responded to this call and are bearing this burden, I have nothing but praise. But I think it little short of absurd that we should be compelled to call men from their shops, their factories, their offices and their professions for such a purpose. This, however, is not all. The units of the national guard were at peace strength, which was only about one-half the required strength. , It was necessary to bring in recruits, for the most part raw and untrained. Only a small percentage of the regiments recruited up to war strength will have had even a year's training in the national guard, which at the maximum means a hundred hours of military drill, and, on the average, means much less. Men fresh from their peaceful employments and physically unprepared have been hurried to the border for actual service. They were without proper equipment, without necessary supplies; suitable conditions of transportation were not provided. Men with dependent families were sent, and conditions which should have been well known were discovered after the event And yet the exigency, comparatively speaking, was not a .very grave one. It Involved nothing that could not readily have been foreseen during the past three years of disturbance and required only a modest talent for organization. That this administration while pursuing its course in Mexico should have permitted such conditions to exist is almost incredible.—From Mr. Hughes* Speech of Acceptance.

I INIS MEANS DOLLARS IN YOUR POCKET I ! jga how Use a Speedier

How the SPEEDLER Works The Speedier is a neat, scientifically designed air spray which screws into the intake manifold above the carburetor. Quickly attached on any car. The controller »easily clamps on steering post. You will be surprised at the amount of extra air your engine will burn if injected above the carburetor in the form of a Speedier cross-cut spray. Besides adding more aii\ the powerful cross-cut spray of the Speedier shatters and remixes every globule of gasoline. This gives you a snappy combustive power-gas, instead of a mere “flaming’ ’ misture. Because the Speedier works independently and above the carburetor, -it produces results which no carburetor in itself, or adjustments within the carburetor, are capable of producing. A trial- of Speedier will quickly demon-*-strate this fact. Finger Tip Control See that finger-tip control. It responds instantly. Right at your finger tip every moment. No trouble at all to use the Speedier, and you cannot use it improperly. Nothing to get out of order. Touch, the control and here’s what you get: More Speed Less Carbon More Mileage - Less Heat More Power Better mixture and An Emergency Air Brake It Saves Your Gasoline , The Speedier is guaranteed to save from 20 to 40 per cent of the gasoline consumption per mile on any automobile now built. How does it do this? By always furnishifig your engine with the thinnest possible gas for the greatest possible power. Injection of air above the carburetor automatically cuts #iown the flow of gasoline. There is never any waste of gasoline with a Speedier. Start your engine with a rich mixture if needed. As the engine warms up or as the day warms up, a thinner mixture will do the business, and you can get just the mixture you want by touching the Speedier control. No automatic adjustments can respond to changes in weather. It Gives More Mileage A Speedier on your car will enable you to travel from four to five miles on the same amount of gasoline you now use to travel three miles. On most any car it will give you six miles more per gallon of gasoline. This is not a mere claim. It lias been proved by thousands of motorists all over the world; and we will sell you one with a definite agreement that you can return it and get your money back if any statement in this ad does not prove out to your own satisfaction, with your own car. The Speedier will positively increase your mileage from 20 to 40 per cent. Make us prove it. That extra mileage is worth having. It Increases Engine Power The Speedier not only increases mileage, but it increases engine power as well. You know that every automobile made will only develop about two-thirds of its rated horse-power under actual service conditions. Pnfc a Speedier on one of these ears and it will make that engine produce as high as nine-tenths of its rated horse-power, every day in the year. And it will do it on less gasoline, at that. If you pay for a 20, 40 or 60 H. P. car, why not have one? You are carrying that extra weight around with you

small supply of these will be left at the Republican office for the,,convenience those who cannot see me. PETER McDANIELS, Agent Rensselaer, Indiana ■, , . him— Miiiisii ———i

I. M. Washburn and C. R. Dean to Battle for Championship Saturday.

The Final match for the title of city tennis champion will take place Saturday morning at 11 o’clock between Dr. I. M. Washburn and C. R. Dean. Both of these contestants have been successful in all their matches to date and a hot battle is expected. Dr. Washburn eliminated a dangerous contestant Thursday when he disposed of William Babcock. Washburn is recognized as present title holder, but Dean hias been improving so much in his game of late that he is thought to have a good chance to annex the title honors, or at least to give the present title holder a stiff argument.

4 ** without getting the power. A Speedier on your engine will give it to you and save its price every month while doing it. Next time you get stuck in sand or mud —next tipio you hit a steep hill —you will wish you had that extra 5 or 10 H. P* at the tips of your fingers. And you might just as well have it, because it will cost you nothing to own or to operate. j , An Emergency Air Brake You can brake your car down as promptly, softly and quickly as an engineer does the Limited, if you have a Speedier. When y 6 uget in a tight .place or start down a Speedier. When you get in a tight place or start down a steep hill, you don’t have to depend upon your worn brake leaving the clutch in. The Speedier fills the cylinders with cool, pure air and slows down the piston action gently but surely. Use it to slow your car on any hill or on the level .road. It’s worth more than its price as an air-brake alone. For Decarbonizing You know how carbop. in your cylinder interferes with proper working efficiency. It should be cleaned out once a week, and you can clean it out in about one minute’s time if you have a Speedier. All you need to do is to unscrew the little “end cap,” slip on the rubber tube we furnish, insert the end of the tube into a pint of kerosene and start the engine. The engine will rapidly take in the kerosene and compress it in all chambers. The softened carbon will be discharged through the exhaust. Never necessary to take the engine to pieces for cleaning if you have a Speedier. And the Speedier will also prime your engine on a cold day. Simply inject charge of gasoline through the Speedier. Makes Engine Run Cooler Every overheated engine is caused by too rich mixture or carbon. This means trouble for the circulation and a waste of gasoline and oil. will never have an* overheated engine with a Speedier, because you can correct the over-rich rhixture by touching the Speedier control. It’s great in cold weather, too, because it permits you to start on the richest kind of mixture and then cut it down to the right point without touching the carburetor. Your carburetor adjustment stays the same the year around if you use a Speedier. Try This Test Set the gasoline dine throttle at the 10-mile notch. Then touch the Speedier control; and watch the speedo meter jump to 15 miles. You get 5 miles extra speed without an extra drop of gas. That extra 5 miles is due entirely to the Speedier. It’s the Speedier re-mixing cross-cut air spray that does it. Hs TRY ONE TWO WEEKS FREE - We allow you two weeks free trial of Speedier. If the Speedier does not do the work, return it any time within - two weeks, and your money will be refunded. Speedier is sold all over the world under this absolute satisfaction guarantee.
