Washington, May 23. —An immediate jump in volunteer enlistments in the United States Marine Corps is expected, by' officials of the corps as ,a result of the sending of 'a regiment of “Soldiers ot the Sea” to France with the first expedition and the assurance that further contingents wLI be sent as rapidly as transportation can be secured.

That was eight years ago. Today the leading cars in practically every foreign country are Knight-motored. They are the cars that are owned by the royal families and nobility of Europe—by people of wealth and position everywhere. And they coat from $4,000 to SB,OOO. Now there has been placed in reach of the many what ’before had been enjoyed by the few—a car with the smoothness, the power, the flexibility —the undeniable charm—of this Knight sleeve-valve motor. It remained for the Willys-Over-land Company, with its vast quantity production capacity, to build a car with the Knight motor at a price wihin the reach of all. The .pictures at the Star Saturday will show the Knight sleeve-valve motor, and the advantages of it ovu the poppet valve motor which is used in other cars. The local agent, Dr. J. Hansson, is bringing these pictures here and invites the public to see them. He will also be pleased to demonstrate the Willys-iKnight to prospective purchasers.
