THE TIMES

NEW YORK. iiWh P. This week brought the United states to th hcnk f war, Its avoidance now seems ;.novt hopeless, unless tin -re is due resect tu American rlRht.s. War is !- 1nsnly not desired by the Am. noun p.-ople, us has . been amply j-rovvd by the extreme forlwaraia-o whi.h tiiry ii'ivo shown "under jersii-tent and -x--pern ring violation of American risriits, .i'' well as disregard for ph: dijrs distinctly made to our government. Americans had eagerly looked forward to the Welcome mission of aetins? as peacemaker: sincerely hopeful f.f ending the it-'iSiC struggle in Europe, ami softening: far as possible the coneou-me-i ,,f ft'3".. That hope seems d.-isli-'d cm-

loans will immediately le forthcoming, and the expeetetf $300,000,000 3 per cent loan will be followed by cther9. unless the war ends earlier than now expected. In addition, the Allies will niako further demand upon our monetary resources, several important loans now beinjj reported under negotiation; and ,-dnce. these will bo employed for the

purpose of buying more munitions they will of course be readily taken. Fortunately, our banking sytem is i:i splendid shape for rneetin. this crisis. Ample time has been afforded "for preparation. Our banking resources are generally In liquid form; deposits are heavy; money

abundant and relatively about the

cheapest commodity obtainable. Were it not for the conservative feeling in business circles, created by hi.c'u prices, by high wages and the war crisis, the present boom in industry would undoubtedly ko on indefinitely to further and peroaps dangerous extremes. As it is merchants arfd manufacturers alike are cautious in making future commitments. nd on no sccount should they depart rom such a policy for the time being it least. Even the prospect of further 'arge gold imports rendered necessary by heavy merchandise exports does not tempt them to expand their activities it this time, owing to the dangers of ."urther inflation and risks of a decline in commodities which would follow the end of war. also larger crops next season which high prices would naturally bring. At present there Is no means of checking this undesirable flood of gold, except by importing merchandise mere frvely, which is impracticable, or buying back our securities from abroad, or by lending more freely in the shape and notes and other forms of credit. The immediate effect of war would be increased taxes, large bond issues, heavy orders for military supplies, the rushing forward of naval construction and recruiting of large numbers of men

drawn from various employments and

add to the problems of the labor situation. Several months must elnpso be

fore any considerable military force I

could bo dispatched to Europe, and It Is not known in what direction our naval forces would be, employed, though defense would naturally receive first attention. Meanwhile we could still offer considerable aid to the Allies, since our munitions capacity is probably much ahead of our own requirements and could be readily enlarged. In many directions preparedness, though far from

complete, is well advanced as to first steps, simply because the mobilization of finance, industry and transportation had been planned ahead sufficiently to

render execution comparatively easy.

Just how the stock market will be

have in event of hostilities it is difficult ; .o estimate. The prevalent opinion Is ' that r has been discounted and that ! after the first shock, wlikh may cause: a fall, there will come a general re- ! covery owing to relief from suspense . and expectation of war inilation. This : market has been well liquidated during I .he last two months, and there Is a great abundance of capital awaiting in- i vestment when confidence revives. On the' other hand it would be hazardous !

to overlook the efi'ect of Impending j j

REO ENGINEERING is sound engineering. That is now recognized by buyers generally conceded by other engineers. REO POLICY is as stable, as sound, and as dependable as is Reo engineering. THE GOOD INTENT which was the foundation of Reo policy, is still the guiding principle. REO FACTORY FACILITIES have increased from year to year until now the total area is nearly forty acres and the Reo factory has long been known in trade circles as "The model automobile plant." WE REO FOLK make more parts of Reo cars and motor trucks than any other concern in the industry. We believe that statement is 100 per cent true. IN THE REO LABORATORIES we determine what materials shall constitute every part; here the formulae are worked out here the tests made to en sure that every pound comes up to the Reo specifications. THEN WE PUT "Just a little bit more for safety's sake" in every part. "50 PER CENT OVERSIfE" in every vital part is not a mere catch phrase compare and you'll find it is a statement of fact. 50 EXTRA STRENGTH is the aim and we achieve that by using the best of materials and more of them.

Models J Quality 1

NOTHING is left to chance. The Reo guarantee is based not on a guess but on the certainty that the quality is there determined by the most rigid and painstaking tests. WE HAVE NEVER BEEN ambitious to make all the automobiles only the best. MAKING FEWER WE CAN be more certain of making them better provided of course, we make enough to enable us to avail ourselves of modern automatic machine tools and the most efficient methods. THE REO VOLUME IonS sine passed that point. OUR CHIEF CONCERN now ia to see that it does not pass the point where quality gives way to mere quantity considerations that point where personal supervision gives way to a "system." BECAUSE OF THAT POLICY there is at this moment, and always has been, an over-demand for Reos of all models. THAT IS WHY the Reo line is to prized so coveted by dealers. TEN MODELS, comprising the most complete range of touring cars, roadsters, enclosed cars (fours and sixes) and motor trucks; and every model the embodiment of Reo quality and Reo care in the making. IT PAYS to handle such a line it costs less to keep Reo owners happy than is the case with any ether line, bar none.
